Polyamine Transport Protein PotD Protects Mice against Haemophilus parasuis and Elevates the Secretion of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines of Macrophage via JNK-MAPK and NF-κB Signal Pathways through TLR4.

The potD gene, belonging to the well-conserved ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transport system potABCD, encodes the bacterial substrate-binding subunit of the polyamine transport system. In this study, we found PotD in Haemophilus (Glaesserella) parasuis could actively

An evaluation of a polyamine-deficient diet for the treatment of inflammatory pain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines are thought to be involved in the regulation of numerous metabolic and electrophysiological processes in the nervous system. In this study we evaluated the effect of a synthetic polyamine-deficient diet on pain in a carrageenan (Car)-induced inflammatory rat model. Inflammation was

The polyamine and histamine metabolic interplay in cancer and chronic inflammation.

OBJECTIVE To provide an update on the major research contributing to deciphering the metabolic interplay of polyamines/histamine and its impact in cancer and chronic inflammation. RESULTS The most recent and relevant findings that might reflect a link between the polyamines/histamine metabolic

Intracellular polyamine levels of intestinal epithelial cells in inflammatory bowel disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines and their acetylated derivatives are a prerequisite for cellular metabolism and considered to be essential for proliferation and differentiation of the rapidly renewing intestinal mucosa. However, their role during mucosal inflammation is less clear. Polyamine concentrations were

Role of peripheral polyamines in the development of inflammatory pain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) are aliphatic amines that are produced by the action of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in a rate-limiting and protein kinase C (PKC)-regulated step. Because high levels of polyamines are found in the synovial fluid of arthritic patients, the aim of the

[Possible mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory action of polyamines].

Only registered users can translate articles

Carrageenin paw edema of rats was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by subcutaneous administration of polyamines. The latter had to be administered at least 2 hr before carrageenin challenge to achieve such inhibition. Moreover, inhibition was blocked by the simultaneous injection of actinomycin

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs stimulate spermidine/spermine acetyltransferase and deplete polyamine content in colon cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit colonic tumourigenesis and have an established usefulness in cancer prevention. Because polyamines are essential for neoplastic cell growth, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NSAIDs (indomethacin, a nonselective COX-1

Polyamines reverse non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced toxicity in human colorectal cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Naproxen, sulindac and salicylate, three NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), were cytotoxic to human colorectal cancer cells in culture. Toxicity was accompanied by significant depletion of intracellular polyamine content. Inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase (the first enzyme of the

A co culture approach show that polyamine turnover is affected during inflammation in Atlantic salmon immune and liver cells and that arginine and LPS exerts opposite effects on p38MAPK signaling.

This study assess which pathways and molecular processes are affected by exposing salmon head kidney cells or liver cells to arginine supplementation above the established requirements for growth support. In addition to the conventional mono cultures of liver and head kidney cells, co cultures of

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) urea cycle and polyamine synthesis gene families show dynamic expression responses to inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The urea cycle is an endogenous source of arginine that also supports removal of nitrogenous waste following protein metabolism. This cycle is considered inefficient in salmonids, where only 10-15% of nitrogenous waste is excreted as urea. In rainbow trout, arginine is an essential amino acid that

Metabolic correlations of glucocorticoids and polyamines in inflammation and apoptosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucocorticoid hormones (GC) are essential in all aspects of human health and disease. Their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties are reasons for therapeutic application in several diseases. GC suppress immune activation and uncontrolled overproduction and release of cytokines. GC

Oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of activated polyamine catabolism-induced acute pancreatitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The markers of oxidative stress and inflammation were studied in acute pancreatitis in transgenic rats exhibiting activated polyamine catabolism. In addition, the effect of bismethylspermine (Me(2)Spm) pretreatment, preventing pancreatitis in this model, on these mediators was investigated. Lipid

Polyamine synthesis in bone marrow granulocytes: effect of cell maturity and early changes following an inflammatory stimulus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Enriched fractions of mature and immature neutrophil granulocytes, isolated from guinea pig bone marrow, were assayed for ornithine decarboxylase activity and polyamine content. The results show that immature granulocytes contain at least ten times more ornithine decarboxylase activity and two times

Anti-inflammatory effects of polyamines in serotonin and carrageenan paw edemata - possible mechanism to increase vascular permeability inhibitory protein level which is regulated by glucocorticoids and superoxide radical.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serotonin paw edema of mice and carrageenan paw edema of rats were inhibited by subcutaneously or orally administered certain polyamines. They must be given at least 2 h before serotonin challenge to get inhibitions which were blocked by the concomitant injections of cycloheximide. Thirty percent

Natural polyamine inhibits mouse skin inflammation and macrophage activation.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Natural polyamines are some of the most abundant polycationic molecules in eukaryotic cells, regulating gene expression. Polyamines have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activities in many model inflammation systems. However, there is no report on their role in
