1 We examined the effect of increased expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a key rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, on cell survival in primary cultures of keratinocytes isolated from the skin of K6/ODC transgenic mice (Ker/ODC) and their normal littermates (Ker/Norm). Polyamines ornithine decarboxylase, structural 1 Mus musculus
2 We examined the effect of increased expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a key rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, on cell survival in primary cultures of keratinocytes isolated from the skin of K6/ODC transgenic mice (Ker/ODC) and their normal littermates (Ker/Norm). Polyamines ornithine decarboxylase, structural 1 Mus musculus
3 ATM activation is polyamine dependent because alpha-difluoromethylornithine, a specific inhibitor of ODC activity, blocks its phosphorylation. Polyamines ornithine decarboxylase, structural 1 Mus musculus
4 Ker/ODC also displays increased generation of H(2)O(2), acrolein-lysine conjugates, and protein oxidation products as well as polyamine-dependent DNA damage, as measured by the comet assay and the expression of the phosphorylated form of the histone variant gamma H2AX. Polyamines ornithine decarboxylase, structural 1 Mus musculus
5 Both reactive oxygen species generation and apoptotic cell death of Ker/ODC may, at least in part, be due to induction of a polyamine catabolic pathway that generates both H(2)O(2) and cytotoxic aldehydes, because spermine oxidase (SMO) levels are induced in Ker/ODC. Polyamines ornithine decarboxylase, structural 1 Mus musculus
