«S-Adenosylmethionine-synthesizing Activity of Normal and Neoplastic Mouse Tissues1

چکیده
An enzyme which synthesizes S-adenosylmethionine in mouse liver has been examined and found to possess the same charac teristics as that described by others for pig and rabbit liver. Al though liver has laige quantities of the enzyme activity, a mouse hej tatoma had no measurable activity. It was hypothesized that trace amounts of the enzyme in hepatoma cells might be sufficient for sRNA methylation. Estrogen was found to depress the ac tivity of liver S-adenosyltransferase in castrate female mice.

Antitumor effect of a new multienzyme inhibitor of polyamine synthetic pathway, methylglyoxal-bis(cyclopentylamidinohydrazone), against human and mouse leukemia cells.
Methylglyoxal-bis(cyclopentylamidinohydrazone) (MGBCP) has been synthesized as a multienzyme inhibitor for the polyamine-synthesizing pathway. This drug inhibited S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50), spermine synthase and spermidine synthase activities, competitively with S-adenosylmethionine, spermidine, and putrescine, respectively. MGBCP inhibited the growth of human leukemia Mo...

origin “transform to malignancy― during serial propaga tion in vitro has received considerable attention. The converse—i.e., that cells of neoplastic origin maintained in vitro may lose their neoplastic property (or properties) consequent to serial propagation—has received little consideration, despite the fact that such events also have been recorded in the literature. Jacoby (39) desc...
متن کاملVitamin A acid (retinoic acid), a potent inhibitor of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse epidermis.
Topical application of retinole acid to mouse skin led to a dramatic inhibition of phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate)-induced epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) activity, an event proposed to be essen tial for tumor promotion. The degree of inhibition was de pendent on the dose and time of application of retinoic acid. In contrast, treatment with retinoic acid did...

متن کاملPhosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase activity in developing, demyelinating, and diabetic mouse brain.
The catalysis by phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis by the successive methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine in the presence of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) as methyl donor, was detected in actively myelinating mouse brains. PEMT activity in the microsome fraction of fetal mouse brain at 17 days of gestation was 253 mu u/mg protein and that...
