Utilizing a sensitive liquid chromatographic system, polyamines were quantitated in three-day plaque from 13 caries-resistant (CR) and 35 caries-susceptible (CS) adults after they had fasted for 12 hours. The values for putrescine and cadaverine were significantly higher in the CR group. This may be
In this study, polyamine biosynthesis required for cellular proliferation showed elevated levels in neoplastic cells. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, as well as the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, were measured to evaluate differences in tissue concentration in squamous cell
The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are essential for normal growth and differentiation and the activity of the enzymes participating in their synthesis and catabolism are markedly modified in actively proliferating cells in vitro and in vivo. In some neoplastic cells a good
Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the most common malignancy of the oral cavity, is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality worldwide. Moreover, knowledge of the metabolic alterations that occur in OSCC is still limited. In the present study, we used a quantitative metabolomic
Differences in tissue concentrations of N1- and N8-acetylspermidine and cadaverine in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity compared to the surrounding healthy tissue, as well as to epulides and other benign oral lesions (papillomas, lipomas, and fibromas) are assessed. The results indicate
K+ are selectively coordinated in the selectivity filter and concerted K+ and water movements in this region ensure high conduction rates in K+ channels. In channels with long pores many K+ binding sites are located intracellular to the selectivity filter (inner vestibule), but their contribution to
The synthesis of the macrocyclic ligand 4,4'-(2,5,8,11,14-pentaaza[15])-2,2'-bipyridylophane (L3), which contains a pentaamine chain linking the 4,4'-positions of a 2,2'-dipyridine moiety, is reported. Protonation and Zn(II) complexation by L3 and by macrocycle L2, containing the same pentaamine
Mice bearing Ehrlich carcinoma cells received one 80 mg/kg dose of DFMO. After 20 hours the cells were extracted from the peritoneal cavity and separated by means of sedimentation of 1 g in saccharose gradient into 9 fractions depending on the mitotic cycle phase. The content of polyamines in the
We studied the distribution of a polyamine oxidizing enzyme (PAO) in Onchocerca volvulus and other nematode parasites by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy with immunogold technique using a polyclonal antiserum raised against purified PAO from Ascaris suum. In adult O. volvulus the protein
Facile fabrication of nanocatalysts consisting of metal nanoparticles (NPs) anchored on functional supporter is highly desirable, yet remains challenging. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) provide an emerging materials platform for structural control and functional design. Here, we demonstrate a
The equilibria and kinetics of the interaction of the Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the macrocyclic polyamine 2,5,8,11-tetraaza[12]-[12](2,9)[1,10]-phenanthrolinophane (Neotrien) with calf thymus DNA have been investigated at pH=7.0 and T=25 degrees C by spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry and
Branched-chain polyamines are found exclusively in thermophilic bacteria and Euryarchaeota and play essential roles in survival at high temperatures. In the present study, kinetic analyses of a branched-chain polyamine synthase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis (Tk-BpsA)
We report the preparation of inclusion complexes between rhein and four polyamine-modified β-cyclodextrins, namely amino-β-cyclodextrins (NH2-βCD), ethylenediamine-β-cyclodextrins (EN-βCD), diethylenetriamine-β-cyclodextrins (DETA-βCD) and triethylenetetramine-β-cyclodextrins (TETA-βCD) using
Infant microbiota is influenced by numerous factors, such as delivery mode, environment, prematurity and diet (breast milk or formula). In addition to its nutritional value, breast milk contains bioactive substances that drive microbial colonisation and support immune system development, which are
Polyamines cause inward rectification of Kir K(+) channels by blocking deep within the channel pore. We investigated structural constraints of polyamine block of strongly rectifying mutant K(ATP) channels (Kir6.2[L164C,N160D,C166S] + SUR1). We studied three groups of polyamine analogs: 1)
