ABSTRACT
We have analyzed in adult Xenopus laevis, using in situ hybridization, the spatial and temporal expression patterns of MyoD, myogenin, and alpha-skeletal actin and fast myosin heavy chain mRNAs during muscle regeneration following cardiotoxin injury. MyoD transcripts could be detected in the satellite cells as early as the first stage of regeneration and were expressed persistently throughout the regeneration process. Myogenin mRNAs were transiently expressed in forming myotubes. alpha-Skeletal actin and fast myosin heavy chain mRNAs were detected precociously, before the young myotube stage. This work has shown, for the first time, the presence of myogenin transcripts during Xenopus myogenesis.
