Skeletal muscle of adult, metamorphosed urodele amphibians regenerates despite the absence of satellite cells1, the myogenic reserve cells present beneath the external lamina of muscle fibres in larval urodeles and in other vertebrates2–9. Adult-stage muscles of several urodeles examined (Notophthalmus viridescens1,10,Ambystoma maculatum10,Triturus vulgaris,Triturus cristatus11,Hynobius tokyoensis12andAmbystoma mexicanum13) have instead a unique cell type enveloped in its own external lamina. Several studies suggest that these cells are larval satellite cells that have become completely surrounded by a segment of external lamina during metamorphosis10–12. Although Popiela10termed these cells ‘pericytes’, he suggested that they might function as a myogenic reserve population. Cherkasova, who was the first to recognize these cells as distinct from vascular pericytes, termed them post-satellite cells and also proposed that they might be myogenic11. Here, we present evidence that post-satellite cells in adultN. viridescensgive rise to regenerated myotubesin vitro. The myotubes could be stained with MF20, a monoclonal antibody to purified skeletal muscle myosin14, and also with 22/18, a monoclonal antibody that reacts with an antigen present in newt-limb blastema myogenic cells15. The presence of myogenic post-satellite cells in adult newt muscle provides an alternative to the hypothesis that myoblasts in regenerating adult urodele limbs arise through dedifferentiation of mature myofibres15–17.
