Prolactin has more than 300 separate functions including affecting mammary growth, differentiation, secretion and anti-apoptosis. In the previous studies, prolactin induced Bcl-2 expression to prevent apoptosis and also provoked the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Our previous data showed that ODC overexpression upregulates Bcl-2 and prevents tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)- and methotrexate...
Antizymes delicately regulate ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) enzyme activity and polyamine transportation. One member of the family, antizyme-1, plays vital roles in molecular and cellular functions, including developmental regulation, cell cycle, proliferation, cell death, differentiation and tumorigenesis. However, the question of how does it participate in the cell apoptotic mechanism is still unsolved...
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) plays an essential role in various biological functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation and cell death. However, how it prevents the cell apoptotic mechanism is still unclear. Previous studies have demonstrated that decreasing the activity of ODC by difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC, causes the accumulation of intracellular...
Methotrexate (MTX), a folate antagonist, was developed for the treatment of malignancies, and is currently used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other chronic inflammatory disorders. It has been proven in short-term and long-term prospective studies that low doses of MTX (0.75 mg/Kg/week) are effective in controlling the inflammatory manifestations of RA. Low-concentrations of MTX achieve apoptosis...
