A correlation of the levels of epidermal protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, steady state levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) mRNA, and ODC antizyme with the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity by a second repeat 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment to mouse skin was determined. A single application of TPA to female CD-1 mouse skin leads to a dramatic induction of ODC activity (approximately 3 nmol CO2/60 min/mg protein) which peaks at about 5 h after treatment. However, a superinduction of ODC activity (approximately 13 CO2/60 min/mg protein) is observed upon the second TPA application at 48 or 72 h after the first TPA treatment. Prior application of a tumor initiating dose of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracine to mouse skin did not influence the degree of induction of ODC by a repeat TPA treatment. Western Blot analyses using antibodies specific to PKC alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon indicate detectable levels of PKC alpha, beta, delta and epsilon in mouse epidermal extracts. A time course of the effects of a single topical application of 20 nmol of TPA to the mouse skin indicate that none of PKC isozymes (alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon) were completely downregulated at times (72 h) when ODC was overinduced by TPA. TPA-induced steady state levels of ODC mRNA did not correlate with the degree of superinduction of ODC activity by TPA. The second TPA treatment, 72 h after the first TPA treatment, which leads to superinduction of ODC activity did not decrease the levels of the ODC-antizyme. The results indicate that superinduction of mouse epidermal ODC activity is regulated in part post-transcriptionally and may not be the result of either a loss of PKC isoform(s) or a decrease in the levels of ODC antizyme.

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.

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
