Abstract：
:Primary cultures of skeletal muscle cells secrete plasminogen activator (PA) activity to the conditioning medium and display membrane-bound PA. Growth of these cells in culture in presence of 10(-7) M dexamethasone resulted in a marked reduction of the membranal and secreted PA activity. The hormone also reduced cytosolic creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity and cytosolic protein content. However, cell viability and their ability to undergo fusion were uneffected. The extent of hormone-induced reduction in PA activity depended on the time and extend of exposure. Maximal suppression was obtained by exposing the cells to dexamethasone during the first 4 days of culture. The medium conditioned with dexamethasone-treated cells did not inhibit plasmin, endogenous PA or exogenous PA. Exposure of the conditioned medium from hormone-treated cells to sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) or trypsin restored the activity to values observed in media from cells not exposed to the hormone. Acidification of the medium failed to reactivate the enzyme. The myogenic cell line L-8 also displayed membrane-bound PA activity, which was of a comparable magnitude in both fusing and non-fusing L-8 cells. However, in contrast to the primary cultures, exposure of L-8 cells to dexamethasone had no effect on their PA activity whether studied under conditions which allowed or prohibited fusion. The present findings imply that PA has no conducive role in the process of fusion associated with maturation of skeletal muscle cells.
