    Description: Six structural homologs of spermidine and five of its precursor, putrescine, were studied for their ability to prevent cytostasis of cultured L1210 leukemia cells induced by alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of putrescine biosynthesis. High-performance liquid chromatography and competition studies with spermidine indicated that the homologs, which vary in the length of the carbon chain separating the amines, penetrated the cells. The structural specificity of the spermidine carrier was defined. Three of the six spermidine homologs supported cell growth during a 48-hour incubation in the presence of DFMO, indicating that a two-carbon extension of spermidine structure was tolerated for biological function. Two of the five putrescine homologs supported growth after being converted by the cells to their respective spermidine homologs. The central nitrogen of spermidine appears to be essential for function since diamines of chain length comparable to that of spermidine did not prevent DFMO cytostasis. No more than 15 percent of the spermidine normally present in L1210 cells was required for cell proliferation in the presence of DFMO.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Porter, C W -- Bergeron, R J -- CA-22153/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA-24538/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Mar 4;219(4588):1083-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6823570" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The effects of marginal malnourishment , infections, and environmental chemicals on growth and reproductive success in Swiss-Webster white mice and wild deer mice were studied with fractional factorial designs. Interaction effects were discovered. For example, malnourished mice were more sensitive to virus exposure and environmental chemicals (a plant growth regulator or polychlorinated biphenyls). Since several commercial plant growth regulators also appear to suppress the immune system, these results cast doubt on the adequacy of current toxicity testing procedures in which factors are studied individually and not in combination.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Porter, W P -- Hinsdill, R -- Fairbrother, A -- Olson, L J -- Jaeger, J -- Yuill, T -- Bisgaard, S -- Hunter, W G -- Nolan, K -- 5-T32-ES07015/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Jun 1;224(4652):1014-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6426058" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
