Transgenic mice overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) were recently generated (Halmekyto et al.: Biochem Biophys Res Commun 180:262-267, 1991). The dramatic ODC overexpression resulted in a very high accumulation of the polyamine putrescine in the brain. As elevated polyamine levels in the br
Polyamines (PA) have been shown to be critical mediators of estradiol-induced breast cancer cell proliferation. This finding suggests that constitutive activation of the PA pathway may promote tumor progression, possibly leading to hormone independence. To test this hypothesis, we transfected hormon
