Abstract
Extracts from hypertrophying dog hearts perfused through isolated rat hearts increase the synthesis of messenger RNA and initiate hypertrophy in the treated hearts. Total RNA extracted from experimental and control hearts was translated in vitro and hybridized with polyuridylate. Synthesis of protein and polyadenylate-containing RNA was greater in rat hearts perfused with extracts of hypertrophying dog hearts than in control hearts. The results demonstrate that molecules from hypertrophying dog hearts are not species-specific since they are effective in stimulating transcription of messenger RNA in rat hearts as well as in dog hearts.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
