Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity Is Required for Prostatic Budding in the Developing Mouse Prostate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The prostate is a male accessory sex gland that produces secretions in seminal fluid to facilitate fertilization. Prostate secretory function is dependent on androgens, although the mechanism by which androgens exert their effects is still unclear ...

The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

Ornithine decarboxylase as a therapeutic target for endometrial cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC) a key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis is often overexpressed in cancers and contributes to polyamine-induced cell proliferation. We noted ubiquitous expression of ODC1 in our published endometrial cancer gene array data and

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022 Background: Polyamines have been demonstrated to be beneficial to porcine intestinal development. Our previous study showed that putrescine mitigates intestinal atrophy in weanling piglets and suppresses inflammatory response in porcine intestinal ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Critical roles of Myc-ODC axis in the cellular transformation induced by myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated JAK2 V617F mutant. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The acquired mutation (V617F) of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is observed in the majority of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In the screening of genes whose expression was induced by JAK2 (V617F), we found the significant induction of c-Myc ...

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.Mechanism of synthesis, release, receptor activation, uptake, and degradation of GABA in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Left: GABA is synthesized from putrescine in satellite glial cells (SGCs). After being released by Best1 channel, it activates GABAA receptors in sensory neurons, producing a chloride current.
