In rat hepatoma tumor (HTC) cells 1,3 diaminopropane and cadaverine induced the ornithine decarboxylase antizyme as well as the end product of the ornithine decarboxylase reaction putrescine. Although at equal exogenous concentrations (10?3M) the two non-physiological diamines penetrated the cells as effectively as putrescine; they decreased cellular ornithine decarboxylase considerably less rapidly than the naturally present diamine. Cell extracts treated with high concentrations of 1,3 diaminopropane and putrescine, and which as a result had a high specific activity of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme, were chromatographed on a superfine Sephadex G-75 column in the presence of 250 mM NaCl. No ornithine decarboxylase-antizyme complex could be detected indicating the original decrease of ornithine decarboxylase in the cells was likely due to some mechanism other than antizyme. These results indicate that 1,3 diaminopropane and cadaverine probably can act on ornithine decarboxylase, like putrescine, by two distinct regulatory mechanisms. 相似文献

Extremely low concentrations of putrescine, spermidine and spermine added to the extracellular medium of cultures of mammalian cells inhibit the induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity despite 100- to 1,000-fold greater intracellular polyamine concentrations. The diamines, 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,5-diaminopentane, 1,7-diaminoheptane, 1,10-diaminodecane, 1,12-diaminododecane also inhibit ornithine decarboxylase at all concentrations tested (greater than 10?6 M). In contrast, 10?6 M to 10 ?3 M 1,8-diaminooctane, the alkyl analog of spermidine, enhances ornithine decarboxylase activity. The concentraton of putrescine required to inhibit the activity of ornithine decarboxylase by 50% is a characteristic of each cell line; however, it varies by as much as 1,000-fold among the five cell lines we have tested (L1210 leukemic, H35 hepatoma, N18 neuroblastoma, W256 carcinosarcoma and 3T3 fibroblasts). The antizyme to ornithine decarboxylase can be induced in all these cells by high (di)(poly)amine concentrations. Based on these and other experiments we suggest a working hypothesis: that the polyamines regulate ornithine decarboxylase activity through two different sites that may be interrelated; a sensitive membrane-mediated site that responds to minute fluctuations of extracellular polyamine levels and a coarse site which may be intracellular or membrane associated that responds to larger fluctuations of intracellular polyamine levels. The consequences of such a control mechanism operating within the whole organism are discussed. 相似文献

N-Monoacetylputrescine and N8-monoacetylspermidine, metabolites of the naturally occurring polyamines, activate the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). When added to cultures of hepatoma (HTC) cells growing in log phase, in concentrations of 5×10?5M and 2.5×10?7M respectively, these substances cause a 3 to 5-fold increase in the activity of ODC with a peak effect at one hour. This previously undescribed stimulating effect is in sharp contrast to the well established suppressing effects of nonacetylated polyamines on ODC activity. 相似文献

Physiological and biochemical changes related to methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced chilling tolerance of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taichung Native 1) seedlings were investigated. Treatment of whole plants with 10 mmol m?3 MeJA for 48 h before chilling (5 °C) was optimal for the induction of chilling tolerance. MeJA greatly improved the survival ratio of chilled seedlings and ameliorated chilling injury such as demolition of membrane structure (estimated by electrolyte leakage). MeJA also prevented water loss in chilled seedlings by reducing the opening of stomata and decreasing the root bleeding rate. Putrescine and spermine levels in shoots increased but spermidine levels decreased on exposure to MeJA. In roots, putrescine levels also increased and spermidine levels increased transiently on exposure to MeJA. Activities of arginine decarboxylase (ADC; EC 4.1.1.19) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC; EC 4.1.1.50) in both shoots and roots increased on exposure to MeJA, while the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; EC 4.1.1.17) remained unchanged. The MeJA-induced putrescine increase was inhibited by 50 mmol m?3α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), an irreversible inhibitor of ADC, but not by 50 mmol m?3α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC. The effect of MeJA on the induction of chilling tolerance was also reduced by 50 mmol m?3 DFMA. The effects of DFMA were partly prevented by 1 mol m?3 putrescine. This indicates that putrescine accumulation is required for the induction of chilling tolerance of rice seedlings by MeJA. 相似文献

The induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity was studied in a rat hepatoma cell line (Reuber H35) incubated with a group of structurally-related phorbol ester analogues. A single application of 1.6 μM of tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to H35 cells caused a dramatic increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase. The stimulation of the enzyme activity was rapid but transient, peaking at 4 to 5 hr with a value which was 116-fold greater than control and then declining to the basal level after 8 hr. In addition, the increase in ODC activity was dependent upon the concentration of TPA added to the culture medium and the EC50 was estimated to be about 2.63 × 10?7 M. Our studies of the effect of various phorbol ester analogues on the H35 ODC activity indicated an apparent correlation between the ability of phorbol ester derivatives to induce ODC activity in the H35 cells and their activity to promote papilloma formation in the mouse skin in that the various derivatives possessed the following relative abilities to increase ODC activity: TPA > PDB > PDA > 4 α-P > 4 α-PDD. Concurrent addition of either actinomycin D or cycloheximide abolished the increase in ODC activity after TPA treatment. Changes of intracellular concentrations of polyamines, particularly putrescine, were in good agreement with the increase in ODC activity in response to TPA: a 10-fold increase in putrescine over the control level was observed at 6 hr. Our data suggest that cultured Reuber H35 hepatoma cells exhibit a marked and specific response to the phorbol ester tumor promoters and may be of great value in studying the biochemical mechanism of ODC induction by these agents. 相似文献

4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) is one of the major breakdown products of cellular lipid peroxidation. Its effects on proliferation, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and DNA synthesis have been investigated in leukemic cell lines. The cells were incubated for 1 hour with different aldehyde concentrations, then washed and resuspended in medium with fresh foetal calf serum. HNE concentrations ranging from 10-5 to 10-6 M significantly inhibited ODC activity when induced by addition of fresh foetal calf serum both in K562 and HL-60 cells. 3H-Thymidine incorporation in K562 cells was also inhibited from 6 to 12 hours after the treatment. The same HNE concentrations did not inhibit ODC activity when added to cytosol, thus a direct action on the enzyme can be excluded. Moreover, HNE did not affect the half-life of ODC, so that a specific effect on ODC synthesis may be supposed. These data indicate a reduction of proliferative capacity of the cells and are consistent with the possibility that HNE, at concentrations close to those found in normal cells, plays a role in the control of cell proliferation. 相似文献

The appearance of an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitory protein upon the addition of putrescine to cell cultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Quiescent, contact inhibited H-35 rat hepatoma cell cultures maintained in minimal essential medium contain a very low level of ornithine decarboxylase activity. However, 2 h after the addition of 10% fetal aclf serum to the culture medium, the enzyme activity increases by approx. 100-fold. This increase can be completely inhibited by the simultaneous additionof 10?2 M putrescine. The presence of putrescine elicits the appearance of an intracellular inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. This inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase has a molecular weight of 26500, is sensitive to the action of chymotrypsin and its noncompetitive with respect to ornithine. The intracellular appearance of this inhibitor is sensitive to cycloheximide but is only partially inhibited by actinomycin D. 相似文献

Both gonadotropins and prostaglandins stimulate the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity of porcine granulosa cells
(1,2). To investigate a possible intermediary role of prostaglandins in this gonadotropin action, the effects of indomethacin on gonadotropin-induced ODC activity were studied. Indomethacin had no effect at concentrations lower than 10−5 M; at higher concentrations indomethacin exerted a dose-dependent suppression of LH-stimulated ODC activity which was essentially complete at 5 × 10−4 M. The effects of PGE2 and 8-Bromo-cAMP, potent stimulators of ODC, were also blocked by indomethacin (5 × 10−4 M). This effect did not represent direct inhibition of enzyme activity, but appeared to be due to inhibition of protein synthesis by the drug. Thus, incorporation of 14C-leucine into proteins by these cells was blocked by indomethacin with a dose-response curve similar to that for ODC suppression. This distal effect of indomethacin may complicate the interpretation of some experiments if the inhibitor is assumed to act only at the prostaglandin synthetase step. 相似文献

The putrescine which forms a part of nicotine and other pyrrolidine alkaloids is generally assumed to arise through the action of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). However, we have previously noted that changes in the activity of arginine decarboxylase (ADC), an alternate source ofputrescine, parallel changes in tissue alkaloids, while changes in ODC activity do not. This led us to undertake experiments to permit discrimination between ADC and ODC as enzymatic sources of putrescine destined for alkaloids. Two kinds of evidence presented here support a major role for ADC in the generation ofputrescine going into alkaloids: (a) A specific ‘suicide inhibitor’ of ADC effectively inhibits the biosynthesis of nicotine and nornicotine in tobacco callus, while the analogous inhibitor of ODC is less effective, and (b) the flow of 14C from uniformly labelled arginine into nicotine is much more efficient than that from ornithine. 相似文献

Under the selective pressure of
-α-methylornithine (α-MeOrn), a competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) (EC 4.1.1.17) a clone of rat hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells has been isolated and designated HMOA. The growth of this clone is affected by the drug only after a lag period of three generations. The same partial resistance was observed to
-α-difluoromethyl ornithine (α-DFMeOrn), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC. HMOA cells showed elevated ODC activity with a concomitant increase of the putrescine content but no change in S-adenosyl-
-methionine decarboxylase (SAM-DC) (EC 4.1.1.50) activity. Evidence is given that this overproduction of putrescine may be responsible for the partial resistance of HMOA cells to the anti-proliferative effect of the ODC inhibitors. α-MeOrn increases ODC and SAM-DC activities and α-DFMeOrn raises SAM-DC activity in a time and cell line-dependent manner. These findings may support the concept that intracellular putrescine and spermidine play a direct or indirect regulatory role in the expression of ODC and SAM-DC. Thus, the variant cell should be useful for studies on the genetic regulation of polyamine metabolism in eukaryotic cell systems. 相似文献

The main free amines identified during growth and development of grapevine microcuttings of rootstock 41 B, (Vitis vinifera cv. Chasselas × Vitis berlandieri) cultivated in vitro were agmatine, putrescine, spermidine, spermine, diaminopropane and tyramine (an aromatic amine). Amine composition differed according to tissue, with diaminopropane the major polyamine in the apical parts, internodes and leaves. Putrescine predominated in the roots. There was also a decreasing general polyamine and specific tyramine gradient along the stem from the top to the bottom. Conjugated amines were only found in roots. The application of exogenous amines (agmatine, putrescine, spermidine, tyramine) stimulated development and growth of microcuttings, suggesting that the endogenous concentrations of these amines can be growth limiting. Diaminopropane (the product of oxidation of spermidine or spermine by polyamine oxydases) strongly inhibited microcutting growth and development. -DL-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), a specific and irreversible inhibitor of the putrescine-synthesizing enzyme, arginine decarboxylase (ADC), led to inhibition of microcutting development. Application of agmatine or putrescine to the inhibited system resulted in a reversal of inhibition indicating that polyamines are involved in regulating the growth and development of grapevine microcuttings. -DL-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific and irreversible inhibitor of putrescine biosynthesis from ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), had no effect on microcutting development and growth. We propose that ADC regulates putrescine biosynthesis during microcutting development. 相似文献

Several aspects of polyamine biosynthesis were compared in low-passage hamster embryo fibroblasts and transformed hamster fibroblasts. Earlier studies had demonstrated a larger and longer-lasting induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in transformed cells than in hamster embryo fibroblasts. The increases in intracellular polyamine concentrations after serum stimulation were much greater in chemically transformed HE68BP cells than in normal hamster fibroblasts. Treatment of confluent cultures with the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, greatly potentiated ornithine decarboxylase induction by fresh medium in HE68BP cells, but not in hamster fibroblasts. A similar synergistic effect was observed when transformed cells, but not normal cells, were treated with the combination of insulin and promoter. HE68BP cells were capable of growth in medium containing serum concentrations as low as 0.5%, whereas only concentrations of 5% or more supported the growth of hamster embryo fibroblasts. Low serum concentrations induced ornithine decarboxylase in HE68BP cells but not in normal cells, and a given serum concentration always produced a greater induction of ornithine decarboxylase in transformed than in normal cells.Another enzyme involved in polyamine synthesis, decarboxylase was induced in normal and transformed cells by serum-containing medium or tetradecanoylphorbol acetate, but in contrast to ornithine decarboxylase, no synergistic effect was seen in transformed cells exposed to the combination of fresh medium and the tumor promoter. A macromolecular inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase was readily detected in hamster fibroblast cultures treated with high concentrations of putrescine, but little or none of this inhibitor was found in HE68BP cultures. In both cell types, however, serum induction of ornithine decarboxylase was inhibited under conditions of excess putrescine.The results demonstrate several differences between normal and transformed hamster cells in the regulation of polyamine synthesis. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of polyamines during meiotic maturation of Xenopus oocytes. The results indicate a rapid and significant increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, during the meiotic maturation induced by either progesterone or human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). This increase in the enzyme activity was followed by an accumulation of putrescine without any effect on the levels of spermidine or spermine. The inhibition of ODC activity and the accumulation of putrescine levels by α-difluoromethyl ornithine (DFMO), a catalytic irreversible inhibitor of ODC, also resulted in the inhibition of maturation mediated by progesterone in Xenopus oocytes. DFMO caused an inhibition of both maturation and ovulation induced by HCG in ovarian fragments. This inhibition was readily reversible by exogenous supply of putrescine to the medium. These observations suggest that putrescine plays an important role during the meiotic maturation of amphibian oocytes. 相似文献

Treatment of EL-4 lymphoma cells with tetradecanoylphorbol-acetate (TPA), a well-known activator of protein kinase C, induces the production of the T cell growth factor interleukin-2 (IL-2) and the expression of IL-2-specific mRNA within 4–8 h. This system is an ideal model for studies on the induction of a differentiated function in a homogeneous lymphoid cell population by a defined signal. TPA induces also an increase of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and elevates the intracellular concentrations of putrescine and polyamines within 4–8 h. A similar increase of intracellular putrescine and polyamine concentrations can be achieved by administration of 2 mM putrescine to the culture medium. However, putrescine cannot induce the production of IL-2 in the absence of TPA and cannot reconstitute the IL-2 production in cultures with PGE2 or cyclosporine A, i.e., two well-known immunosuppressive substances which inhibit ODC activity. Putrescine has rather a counter-regulatory effect as concluded from the observation that the TPA-induced TCGF production and IL-2-specific mRNA expression are augmented (superinduced) by the ODC inhibitor
-α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and again suppressed after the administration of putrescine or polyamines to DFMO-treated cultures. The glycolytic activity, general protein synthesis ([3H]leucine incorporation), and the cell cycle progression from G2/M to G1, in contrast, are inhibited by DFMO and reconstituted by putrescine. This demonstrates that the cells are able to sacrifice to a large extent several vital functions including their general protein synthesis and to devote themselves at the same time to a fulminant production of their functionally most relevant protein IL-2. This process is downregulated by ODC and its product putrescine. A correlation between increased IL-2 production and accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase was also observed in cultures treated with hydroxyurea or with a combination of amethopterin and adenosine. 相似文献

GABA added to rat hepatoma (HTC) cells in spinner culture at the time of induction of cell proliferation increased levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) up to two- to threefold above that of control cells. The increases in ODC were also reflected by concomitant increases of intracellular putrescine levels, while spermidine and spermine were unchanged. GABA seems to have a direct stabilizing effect on ODC, since the turnover of the enzyme was slowed almost twofold when measured in cells treated with 10–2 M GABA. The stabilizing effect is most pronounced for GABA, although some amino acids such as asparagine, glutamine, and lysine as well as some GABA analogues and homologues also tend to increase ODC but to a significantly lesser extent than GABA itself. GABA metabolites had no effect on ODC.S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase and tyrosine aminotransferase were not affected by the presence of GABA. The GABA effect on ODC may be important in certain types of cells for the regulation of polyamine biosynthesis. 相似文献

The main free amines identified during growth and development of rice seedlings were agmatine, putrescine, spermidine, diaminopropane and tyramine. Amine composition differed according to tissue and stages of development. Conjugated amines were only found in roots. We present evidence that arginine decarboxylase (ADC) regulates putrescine during the development of rice seedlings. When ADC action was blocked by DFMA (-DL-difluoromethylarginine, a specific irreversible inhibitor of ADC), polyamine titers and seedling development were diminished; when agmatine or putrescine was added, normal polyamine titers and growth were restored. The effects of DFMA were concentration dependent. DFMO (-DL-difluoromethylornithine, a specific irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase or ODC) promoted growth and development at concentrations below 2 mM. This effect was probably related to its unexplained, but consistently observed slight enhancement of rice ADC. When the increase in the concentration of spermidine was prevented by CHA (cyclohexylammonium sulfate), the number of roots increased and the increase in length of leaves and roots was strongly inhibited. The addition of exogenous spermidine at the time of treatment with CHA reversed the inhibition by CHA.Abbreviations ADC

Diamino butanone (DAB), a competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) a key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, inhibited the yeast to hyphae transition in Mucor rouxii, induced by transfer from anaerobiosis to aerobiosis, but not the opposite phenomenon. Addition of DAB to anaerobic yeast cells brought about a decrease in ODC and polyamine levels. In these conditions, the aerobic shift produced only a weak increase in ODC activity and no change in polyamine levels. DAB also blocked phorogenesis in M. rouxii and in Phycomyces blakesleeanus. At the effective concentrations DAB did not affect cell growth of either fungus. It is suggested that low, constant levels of ODC and polyamines are necessary for cell growth, and that high transient levels are required during the differentiative steps. DAB, at the concentrations used, affects this last process, but does not interfere with the maintenance level of polyamines.Abbreviations ODC

The role of polyamines (PA) synthesis in NMDA receptor-mediated45Ca2+ fluxes and norepinephrine release was studied in rat hippocampal synaptosomes. NMDA (50M) caused a sharp (>2-fold) transient increase in PA synthesis regulating enzyme, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity with concomitant elevation in PA levels in the order putrescine>spermidine>spermine. ODC inhibitor, -difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), and NMDA antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (D-AP5), both blocked increases in ODC activity and PA levels. Activation of NMDA receptors induced a sharp (3 to 4-fold) and quick (15 seconds) increase in45Ca2+ uptake by synaptosomes within 15 seconds of exposure at 37°C. The efflux of45Ca2+ and3H-norepinephrine (NE) release at 22°C from pre-loaded synaptosomes was also significantly (2 to 4-fold) enhanced by NMDA within 15 seconds. These NMDA receptor-mediated effects on calcium fluxes and NE release were blocked by NMDA receptor-antagonists (DAP-5 and MK-801) and PA synthesis inhibitor, DFMO and the DFMO inhibition nullified by exogenous putrescine. These observations establish that ODC/PA cascade play an important role in transduction of excitatory amino acid mediated signals at NMDA receptors.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Sidney Ochs. 相似文献

The effects of α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) on in vitro ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activities from three plant pathogenic fungi, Pyrenophora avenae, Pyricularia oryzae and Uromyces viciae-fabae , were studied. DFMO concentrations from 0·01 to 1·0 mmol/l produced no significant effects on ODC activities from the three fungi. However, increasing the DFMO concentration to 5 mmol/l produced a substantial reduction in in vitro ODC activity from Pyre, avenae. The ODC inhibitor, α-monofluoromethylornithine (2 mmol/l), significantly reduced in vitro ODC activity from Pyre. avenae , whereas RR-methyl acetylenic putrescine, an ODC inhibitor based on putrescine, produced no significant effect on the fungal enzyme. 相似文献

Testosterone injection caused a 2,000% increase in renal ornithine decarboxylase activity in intact male mice. A single injection of testosterone produced the same effect as repeated injections. The response was dose-dependent and could be blocked by actinomycin, diaminopropane, and cadaverine. Cycloheximide and putrescine had no inhibitory effect. Renal ODC response to arginine vasopressin was altered after castration; however, urine specific gravity and serum osmolality were unaffected by changes in renal ornithine decarboxylase activity. 相似文献
