This paper presents an onto- and phylogenetic aspect of myotoamal myogenesis in Chordata. A comparative analysis of early stages of myotomal myogenesis in Chordata indicates that the myogenic process in this phylum underwent evolutionary changes. The first stage of the process is myogenesis leading to development of mononucleate mature muscle cells, the most advanced stage is formation of multinucleate muscle fibres.

Two stages can be distinguished in the differentiation of myotomal muscle fibres in Triturus vulgaris. In the first stage only synchronously differentiating myotomal cells are engaged; in the second stage mesenchymal cells also take part in the process. Myotomal cells (primary myoblasts) fuse to form 2-3 nucleate myotubes. Only in the caudal part of the embryo mononucleate myotubes persist. The mononucleate myotubes, like polynucleate ones, occupy the whole length of the myotome. The differentiation of myotubes is accompanied by vitellolysis. At further development stages mesenchymal cells enter the intermyotomal fissure, after which they migrate to the myotomes, between the myotubes. The cells that remain in the intermyotomal fissures retain their fibroblastic potential (they synthesise collagen). Their daughter cells adjoining the myotubes acquire myogenic abilities. Their myoblastic potential is evidenced by their ability to fuse with the myotube. Fusion of secondary myoblasts (of mesenchymal origin) with the myotube results in further growth of the myotubes. In T. vulgaris myotomal myotubes and muscle fibres developing from them are of myotomal-mesenchymal origin.

During the early stages of myogenesis in X. laevis, the primary myoblasts (of mesodermal origin) differentiate simultaneously, in each myotome, into mononucleate myotubes. At later stages mesenchymal cells appear in intermyotomal fissures and then in the myotomes between myotubes and contribute to the formation of syncytial muscle fibres. The pathway of mesenchymals cell during myogenesis was described in X. laevis by monitoring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine. 3H-thymidine was incorporated in the nuclei of mesenchymal cells in intermyotomal fissures of younger myotomes and then in those of older myotomes between the myotubes revealing the proliferation of mesenchymal cells. As expected, nuclei of differentiating mononucleate myotubes did not incorporate 3H-thymidine. At later stages of myogenesis the myotubes were found to contain two classes of nuclei: large nuclei of the primary myoblasts (of myotomal origin) and smaller nuclei originating from secondary myoblasts of mesenchymal origin. TEM and autoradiographic analyses confirm that mulinucleate myotubes in X. laevis arise through fusion of secondary myoblasts with mononucleate myotubes.
