Growth hormone acts at a pretranslational level in hepatocyte cultures
1983
We have examined the effects of ovine growth hormone and recombinant DNA synthesized human growth hormone on hepatocytes maintained in serum free cultures. Both growth hormone preparations augmented or attenuated 3 specific mRNA sequences as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of [ 35 S] methionine labeled products synthesized in vitro in an mRNA dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. The results clearly indicate that growth hormone, free of potential pituitary contaminants, acts directly on hepatocytes at a pretranslational level.
