Abstract

The development of spike potential mechanisms during cell differentiation was studied in chick myotubes formed in vitro from trypsin‐dissociated myoblasts. The spike potential and its rate of rise were measured in myotubes from 4–14 day old cultures. A depolarizing current pulse was delivered to evoke the spike potential after the steady membrane potential had been adjusted to a standard level of −80 mV in all cases. This gives the greatest maximum rate of rise of the spike potential and eliminates variation due to differences in the resting membrane potential of the myotubes. The size and maximum rate of rise of the spike potential increased significantly during the period examined. The spike potential was blocked by tetrodotoxin in almost all myotubes. These results suggest that during differentiation myotubes develop the ability to generate a spike potential due to an inward current carried by sodium ions.

Recently, we have characterized glial cultures derived from very early neurogenesis (E3) and found them to consist largely of early glioblastic or astroblastic cells with the capacity to differentiate into astrocytes given sufficient time in culture or with advancing age, i.e., cell passage. This st
