Effects of retinol, fatty acids and glycerol monooleate on the fusion of chick embryo myoblasts in vitro.

Cell fusion of embryonic chick myoblasts has been studied in the presence of fat-soluble agents that induce erythrocytes to fuse. Retinol inhibited myoblast fusion but the cells recovered their ability to fuse within 48 h of removal of the retinol from the medium. Myristic acid, oleic acid, glycerol monooleate, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid similarly prevented fusion in myogenic cultures. By contrast, linoleic acid moderately enhanced the fusion of chick skeletal myoblasts. In addition, stearic acid, which does not fuse erythrocytes, inhibited myoblast fusion whereas the saturated, non-fusogenic fatty acid, arachidic acid, was without effect.[1]
