No immediate clinical implications; leaves open further mechanistic research on myogenic differentiation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Rat myogenic cell line (L6E9) and reticulocyte cell-free protein synthesizing system
I
Intervention
Cell-free translation system using K+ and Cl- concentrations similar to reticulocyte cytoplasm
C
Comparator
Other cell-free translational systems
O
Outcome
Translation of myosin heavy-chain mRNA

A novel cell-free translation system demonstrates that growing myoblasts contain high amounts of translatable myosin heavy-chain mRNA, contrary to findings from other systems.

Cite This Study

Benoff et al. (1979) studied this question. mRNA-dependent reticulocyte cell-free protein synthesizing system vs. other cell-free translational systems was evaluated on myosin heavy chain synthesis as a percentage of total protein synthesis. An mRNA-dependent reticulocyte cell-free protein synthesizing system efficiently translated myosin heavy-chain mRNA from rat myogenic cells, representing 17% of total protein synthesis.
