Thyroid-hormone effects on ornithine decarboxylase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined thyroidectomized, normal and hyperthyroid rats and found that ornithine decarboxylase activity was directly correlated with thyroid functional state in heart and liver and unaffected in brain, testes and spleen, phenomena that correlate with the known effect of thyroid hormone on protein synthesis.

Effect of difluoromethylornithine on thyroid function in rats.
BACKGROUND A variety of stimuli cause a rapid increase in polyamine synthesis by increasing an enzyme ornithine decarboxylase required for the biosynthetic pathway of protein synthesis. Difluoromethyl ornithine is a selective inhibitor of this enzyme and hence arrests cell replication strikingly. Its effects on thyroid gland are studied with respect to change in animal's weight and levels of Tr...
متن کاملSki is a component of the histone deacetylase complex required for transcriptional repression by Mad and thyroid hormone receptor.
The N-CoR/SMRT complex containing mSin3 and histone deacetylase (HDAC) mediates transcriptional repression by nuclear hormone receptors and Mad. The proteins encoded by the ski proto-oncogene family directly bind to N-CoR/SMRT and mSin3A, and forms a complex with HDAC. c-Ski and its related gene product Sno are required for transcriptional repression by Mad and thyroid hormone receptor (TRbeta)...
متن کاملMyocardial Ornithine Decarboxylase of Hypertensive and Diabetic Rats: Effects of Insulin and Triiodothyronine Treatment
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of polyamines, which play a regulatory role in nucleic acid and protein synthesis. The enzyme may be involved in normal and abnormal growth of the myocardium, in the relationship between mechanical stress and protein synthesis, and in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Results from this and ...
متن کاملThyroid function and polyamines. II. Thyrotropin stimulation of polyamine biosynthesis in the rat thyroid.
Thyrotropin (TSH) injected intraperitoneally caused a significant rise in the activity of L-ornithine decarboxylase of rat thyroid within 4 hr. TSH-releasing hormone (TRH) also increased the activity of this enzyme in a dose-related manner and of putrescine-activated S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase, probably through the increased secretion of TSH from the pituitary. Administration of meth...
متن کاملRole of calcium in the modulation of ornithine decarboxylase activity in isolated pig granulosa cells in vitro.
We examined the role of Ca(2+) in the control of basal and hormone-stimulated ornithine decarboxylase activity in isolated pig granulosa cells maintained under chemically defined conditions in vitro. Omission of Ca(2+) from the incubation medium (measured Ca(2+) concentration 5mum) decreased basal enzymic activity, and significantly (P<0.01) impaired the response to maximally stimulating doses ...
