Stabilization of mRNA following serum-induction of quiescent 3T3 cells

Stabilization of mRNA following serum-induction of quiescent 3T3 cells

E Bandman. Mol Biol Rep. 1977 Dec.

Abstract

The stability of mRNA has been measured in 3T3 cells in the resting and the growing states, and also during the transition from the resting to the growing state. Pulse labled poly (A)+ mRNA chased with uridine and cytidine supplemented growth medium decayed with a half-life of 6.5 hr in the resting state, 26 hr during the transition from the resting to the growing condition, and 18 hr during serum-stimulated growth. The half-life of poly(A)+ mRNA determined by steady state labeling yielded similar results in resting and serum-stimulated 3T3 cells. Thus during the transition from resting to serum-stimulated growth in 3T3 cells poly(A)+ mRNA becomes more stable.
