多胺对神经退行性疾病的改善作用

多胺(polyamines)普遍存在于各种生物体中,参与多种生物学功能,包括细胞生长和增殖、蛋白质和核酸的合成、免疫细胞的分化、炎症反应的调节以及肠道功能的维持等。多胺主要包括腐胺(putrescine)、亚精胺(spermidine)、精胺(spermine)以及胍丁胺(agmatine)。随着衰老进程的发展,细胞内的多胺水平会逐渐随之降低。在衰老相关的神经退行性疾病的发生和发展过程中,多胺具有积极的作用。因此,本文就多胺对神经退行性疾病的改善作用作一综述,期望可以对未来神经退行性疾病的治疗和缓解提供参考。

L-精氨酸与精胺延缓大麦离体叶片衰老效应的比较

L-精氨酸和精胺均具有延缓大麦离体叶片叶绿素,蛋白质和核酸含量下降的作用。L-精氨酸具有良好的渗透性和移动性。但其最适浓度高于精胺100倍,作用时间也滞后于精胺。L-精氨酸可使叶片内多胺含量增加,多胺合成抑制剂ABA则削弱L-精氨酸延缓叶片衰老的作用。L-精氨酸转变成具有强烈生理活性的多胺可能是其作用机理之一。

The effect of polyamines on ethylene synthesis during normal and pollination-induced senescence of Petunia hybrida L. flowers

Senescence of Petunia hybrida L. flowers is accompanied by a climacteric pattern in ethylene production and a rapid decline in the levels of putrescine and spermidine during the preclimacteric phase. The decrease in spermidine is caused by the decline in the availability of putrescine which is initially synthesized from L-arginine via agmatine and N-carbamoylputrescine. Inhibition of putrescine and polyamine synthesis resulted in a rapid drop in the levels of putrescine and spermidine without resulting in a concomitant increase in ethylene production. These results indicate that polyamine synthesis is not involved in the control of ethylene synthesis through its effect on the availability of S-adenosylmethionine, and is confirmed by the results obtained with pollinated flowers. Treatment with polyamines may stimulate or suppress ethylene production in the corolla, depending on the concentrations applied. In unpollinated flowers the onset of the climacteric rise in ethylene production was accelerated after treatment with polyamines. However, in pollinated flowers this process was delayed as a result of treatment with low concentrations of polyamines. The effects of exogenous polyamines on ethylene production in both pollinated and unpollinated flowers indicate that ethylene synthesis in these flowers is not regulated by a feedback control mechanism. Although polyamines do not play a key role in the control of ethylene production during the early stages of senescence through their effect on the availability of S-adenosylmethionine, it appears that they play an important role in some of the other processes involved in senescence.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - MGBG methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone) - SAM S-adenosylmethionine     

Control of development of amylolytic and proteolytic activities in cotyledons of germinating black gram seeds

The effect of polyamines and related metabolites on several parameters of leaf senescence was followed in detached radish ( Raphanus sativus L. var. radicular cv. "Giant Butter") leaves floated on test solutions in darkness. Leaf senescence was accompanied by a marked loss of chlorophyll, which started at 24–48 h of incubation. The polyamines, spermine and spermidine, and the diamines, putrescine and cadaverine, were highly effective in arresting chlorophyll loss over a period of at least 96 h. l -arginine, and especially l -ornithine, were less active. Polyaminens prevented the marked chlorophyll loss in dark-incubated leaves, but did not compensate for the moderate chlorophyll loss when the leaves were aged in light. Polyamines were also highly effective in retarding earlier events of leaf senescence, prior to chlorophyll loss: both protein degradation and ribonuclease activity were inhibited by spermidine. Chlorophyll and protein loss in dark-or light-incubated suspensions of either "intact" or disrupted chloroplasts was not affected by polyamines. – It is concluded that polyamines are highly effective in preventing chlorophyll loss from detached leaves, possibly by controlling early senescence-linked events which occur in darkness rather than by direct inhibition of chlorophyll degradation.     

Effects of Exogenous 1,3-Diaminopropane and Spermidine on Senescence of Oat Leaves : II. Inhibition of Ethylene Biosynthesis and Possible Mode of Action

The effects of the polyamines spermidine and 1,3-diaminopropane on ethylene biosynthesis and chlorophyll (Chl) loss were studied in peeled leaves of oat (Avena sativa L., var. Victory) incubated in the dark. Peeling off the epidermal cells induces an increase in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase activity, resulting in an enhanced ACC and ethylene formation. Both polyamines inhibit ethylene biosynthesis from methionine by inhibiting ACC synthase activity and, more effectively, the conversion of ACC to ethylene. They also inhibit Chl loss occurring between 24 and 48 h of dark incubation; but, as shown by inhibitor experiments, inhibition of Chl loss does not result from inhibition of ethylene formation. Ethylene production and Chl loss, both associated with senescence, require membrane integrity; thus, treatments which promote deterioration of membranes inhibit both processes. Ca²⁺ in the incubation medium competitively reduces the polyamine-mediated inhibition of ACC conversion and Chl loss. The data suggest that polyamines initially attach to membranes, thereby inducing changes which, in turn, lead to inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis and retardation of senescence.     

Effect of photoperiod on polyamine metabolism in apical buds of g2 peas in relation to the induction of apical senescence

Polyamine content and arginine decarboxylase activity of apical buds were measured to determine whether polyamines are required to prevent apical senescence in pea. Polyamines were assayed as dansyl derivatives which were separated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry. High polyamine concentrations were found in the vigorous apices of plants grown under a short day photoperiod during which senescence is delayed. As the apex senesced in long days, the amounts of polyamines per organ declined in parallel with decreases in the size of the apical bud. However, a decrease in polyamine concentration, due mainly to a change in spermidine, occurred at the time of marked reduction in bud size and growth rate, but not before the onset of the early symptoms of senescence. No correlation was found with arginine decarboxylase. The results suggest polyamines may be required to support bud growth, but the photoperiodic mechanism which governs apical senescence of G2 peas does not exert control through polyamine metabolism.     

On the trail of a new regulatory system in plants. Polyomines as modulators of plant development sponsored by Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, February 4-6, 1991

Investigations into the physiology and biochemistry of polyamines in plants have virtually exploded in the last decade. While not yet accepted by plant physiologists as plant hormones or even as major regulators of plant growth and development, the polyamines require consideration in such varied fields as cell division, organ differentiation, senescence, and stress. We are sure to see more conferences on this subject in the near future.
