Phorbol ester tumor promoters and growth factors rapidly stimulate ornithine decarboxylase activity in the transformed hamster fibroblast line HE68BP. We report here a close correspondence between the time courses and magnitudes of induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity and immunoreactive ornithine decarboxylase protein following treatment of HE68BP cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and/or refeeding with fresh medium. Cycloheximide addition to induced cells caused a rapid fall in the levels of both ornithine decarboxylase activity and ornithine decarboxylase protein. Northern blot analysis of RNA isolated from HE68BP cells indicated that treatment with TPA and fresh medium increased the amount of two species of mRNA of lengths 2.4 and 2.1 kilobase. This increased accumulation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA corresponded temporally to that observed at the protein level, with a 15-fold maximal induction 7 h after treatment followed by a rapid decline in hybridizable RNA. These data indicate that stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase activity by TPA or refeeding involves changes in levels of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA as well as changes in the rate of synthesis of ornithine decarboxylase protein.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D009955 Ornithine Decarboxylase A pyridoxal-phosphate protein, believed to be the rate-limiting compound in the biosynthesis of polyamines. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine to form putrescine, which is then linked to a propylamine moiety of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to form spermidine.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
