Acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and related family members regulate differentiation in organisms as diverse as Xenopus laevis and mammals. We utilized a well-characterized model of myogenic development to directly assess the importance of endogenously produced FGF in controlling differentiation. A role for endogenous FGF is suggested by the previous finding that acidic and basic FGF abundance in cultured myocytes decreases during differentiation. In this study we inhibited the endogenous production of FGF in murine Sol 8 myoblasts by using antisense RNA and observed precocious myogenic differentiation. Exogenously supplied acidic FGF rescues this phenotype. Further results suggest that the effect of FGF on myogenic differentiation is mediated in part through inhibition of myogenin expression. These results demonstrate a direct role for endogenously synthesized growth factors in regulating myogenesis and provide support for a general role for related proteins in mammalian development.
