Increased expression of aromatase after focal cerebral ischemia: Relevance to neuroprotection and functional recovery

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and

The importance of putrescine in the human body

open access: yesPostępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2014
Putrescine plays a very important role in the regulation of division, differentiation and maturation of cells as well as apoptosis. As the polycationic molecule it stabilizes the structure of DNA and participates in the functioning of cell membranes. It is able to interact with series of ion channels and has affinity for many receptors.

Putrescine Biosynthesis Inhibition in Tomato by DFMA and DFMO Treatment

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2016
This protocol can be used to inhibit the biosynthesis of polyamines, specifically putrescine, in tomato plants grown with NH4+ as a solely N source. In general, polyamines are positively charged small metabolites implicated in physiological processes ...

Effect of foliar treatment of putrescine on growth and flowering of annual gypsophila (Gypsophila elegance)

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
In this research work, we attempted to know the positive response of putrescine on plant growth and flowering of annual flower gypsophila. Putrescine is important because it has been shown that exogenous treatment can enhance the production or ...

MTAP Deficiency as a Metabolic Vulnerability in Cancer: Implications for Synthetic Lethal Therapy

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
MTAP deletion creates a therapeutically actionable metabolic vulnerability through MTA accumulation and PRMT5 dependency. This review summarizes the biochemical basis of MTAP‐directed synthetic lethality, emerging PRMT5/MAT2A inhibitors, clinicogenomic features of MTAP‐deleted tumors, and future strategies for precision oncology.

Influence of postharvest putrescine application on respiration rate and physicochemical properties of tomato

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a species of vegetable that is widely consumed worldwide and has high nutritional value. However, during storage, quality losses occur, especially water loss, decay, acidity loss and vitamin reduction.

The effect of putrescine on space use and activity in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Fish use odor to avoid exposure to predation and disease. Harnessing these odors as repellents is proving useful for management initiatives that conserve native species or control invasive populations.

Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

open access: yesCell 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 ...
