The activity of the polyamine biosynthetic enzyme, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), has been shown to be rapidly modulated by a variety of growth regulatory molecules. In this report the effect of the growth modulatory peptide, tumor necrosis factor, on ODC activity was examined on two cell lines whic

In these experiments we tested the hypothesis that constitutive activation of polyamine(PA) biosynthesis may contribute to mammary carcinogenesis. Spontaneously immortalized normal human MCF-10A breast epithelial cells were infected with the retroviral vector pLOSN containing a cDNA which codes for
## Abstract Multiplication stimulating activity (MSA) has been purified from the conditioned media of rat liver cells in culture by a modification of the procedure of Dulak and Temin. Purified MSA stimulates [^3^H] thymidine incorporation into DNA in subconfluent, serum starved 3T3 cells. Cell cycl
The role of cAMP and calcium in the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, E.C.4.1 .I .I 7) activity in the osteogenic sarcoma cell line, UMR 106-01, was studied, with particular interest for parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH and forskolin dose-dependently induced the ODC activity and the cAMP prod

## Abstract HTC cells incubated in the absence of serum for more than 14 hours have very low levels of ornithine decarboxylase, the first enzyme on the pathway of polyamine synthesis. Readdition of serum causes an increase in the activity of ODC, reaching a maximum on average 17 times above the bas
