Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase and Intracellular Polyamine Signaling Is Involved in TRPV1 Activation–Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is expressed in the cardiovascular system, and increased TRPV1 expression has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy.

mRNA dynamics and alternative conformations adopted under low and high arginine concentrations control polyamine biosynthesis in Salmonella. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Putrescine belongs to the large group of polyamines, an essential class of metabolites that exists throughout all kingdoms of life. The Salmonella speF gene encodes an inducible ornithine decarboxylase that produces putrescine from ornithine.

Cyclosporine augments hepatic regenerative response in rats [PDF]

, 1990
A number of mechanisms participate in the hepatic injury that occurs during and following liver transplantation. A normal allograft regenerative response is probably essential for a successful transplant outcome. In this study, the effect of cyclosporine,

Immunocytochemical Detection of Ornithine Decarboxylase [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1999
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a regulatory enzyme of polyamine biosynthesis, is involved in cell growth and differentiation. Lack of information about the exact cellular and subcellular localization of ODC is one of the main obstacles to precise interpretation of the biological roles of the ODC/polyamine system.

Ornithine Decarboxylase mRNA is Stabilized in an mTORC1-dependent Manner in Ras-transformed Cells [PDF]

, 2012
Upon Ras activation, ODC (ornithine decarboxylase) is markedly induced, and numerous studies suggest that ODC expression is controlled by Ras effector pathways. ODC is therefore a potential target in the treatment and prevention of Ras-driven tumours. In

Species of Staphylococcus and Bacillus isolated from traditional sausages as producers of biogenic amines.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Histidine, lysine, ornithine and tyrosine decarboxylase activities were tested in 38 strains of Staphylococcus (15 of Staph. equorum, 11 of Staph. epidermidis, 7 of Staph. saprophyticus, and 5 of Staph.

Uric Acid Deteriorates Load-Free Cell Shortening of Cultured Adult Rat Ventricular Cardiomyocytes via Stimulation of Arginine Turnover

Biology, 2022
Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for heart disease. Cardiomyocytes produce uric acid via xanthine oxidase. The enzymatic reaction leads to oxidative stress in uric-acid-producing cells.

Effect of cyclosporine on hepatic cytosolic estrogen and androgen receptor levels before and after partial hepatectomy [PDF]

, 1990
Estrogen and androgen receptors within the liver have been reported to modulate the hepatic regenerative response to partial hepatectomy. Moreover, cyclosporine has several untoward effects that might occur as a consequence of alterations in sex hormone ...

Metabolite-dependent regulation of gene expression in trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2013
Mechanisms regulating gene expression in trypanosomatid protozoa differ significantly from those in other eukaryotes. Transcription of the genome appears to be more or less constitutive with the polyadenylation and trans-splicing of large polycistronic ...

Ornithine Decarboxylase in Skin

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was discovered in animal tissues in 1968 [1,2] and interest in its activity and regulation has led to a rapidly and still expanding literature on the enzyme. Several comprehensive reviews have already appeared [3–6]. This article emphasizes our current knowledge of ODC in mammalian skin.
