Control Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and mutant CHO cells lacking ornithine decarboxylase activity (CHODC-) were used to study the regulation of polyamine uptake. It was found that the transport system responsible for this uptake was regulated by intracellular polyamine levels and that this reg
The management of polyamine synthesis and polyamine pools differs fundamentally from that of most other small molecular-weight endproducts. The polyamines are vital to growth and important cellular functions, but they are toxic in excess. I argue here that their multivaient cationic character, leadi
## Abstract Overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), resulting in increased polyamine metabolism, is a common feature of epithelial tumors. Polyamines play a complex role in promoting tumor development, affecting diverse cellular processes, including gene expression. One way polyamines may
BACKGROUND. The possibility was investigated that complex homeostatic mechanisms which maintain polyamine pools in prostate-derived tumors may differ from those which are typically seen in other tissues and tumors. METHODS. Growth sensitivity and various regulatory responses were investigated in thr
