Primary cultures from enzymatically dissociated satellite cells of newborn rat skeletal muscles enabled developmental in vitro studies of mechanical and electrical properties during the first steps of myogenesis. The present work focused on the appearance, evolution and roles of two types of calcium currents (ICa,T and ICa,L) and of depolarization-induced contractile activity during the early stages of muscle cell development in primary culture. Prefusional mononucleated cells (myoblasts), young myotubes of 1 day (with less than 10 nuclei) or 2-3 days (more than 9 nuclei) and myoballs from 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 and 13-16 days cultures were patch-clamped (whole-cell configuration), and calcium currents and contraction simultaneously recorded. Sodium but not calcium currents could be recorded at the myoblast stage. In young myotubes (1 day), ICa,L was present with high incidence as compared to ICa,T, which was poorly expressed. Contractile responses appeared at the next stage (2-3 days) while the occurrence of ICa,T progressively increased. This developmental evolution of the calcium currents and contraction expression was accompanied by some changes in their characteristics: the ICa,T/ICa,L amplitudes ratio progressively increased and the time-to-peak of contraction progressively decreased with the age of myoballs. Physiological functions for calcium currents in developing muscle are suggested and discussed: ICa,T, which is transiently expressed, could be involved in the pacemaker-like activity while ICa,L could serve as an early contraction triggering mechanism and/or initially to fill and then to maintain the intracellular calcium stores.
