Rapid tumor cell growth depends on intracellular polyamine levels higher than those of normal cells. Intracellular polyamine depletion inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces tumor cell apoptosis. Therefore, polyamine metabolism has recently been identified as an important target for anti-tumor therapy. This article briefly summarizes recent polyamine metabolism targeting, polyamine depletion within the tumor cells through a variety of methods, and the antitumor effects of the treatment.

Objective:To explore the specific changes and correlations of sex hormones and lipid metabolism in overweight and obese boys aged 9-12 years.Methods:Seventy-two male subjects (9 to 12 years old) were divided into normal weight group ( n=42), overweight group ( n=15), and obese group ( n=15). Plasma sex hormone levels and lipid levels were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay and ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/QTOF/MS). All data were analyzed by multivariate statistics analysis. Results:(1) The serum concentration of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in obese group and overweight group was significantly lower than that in normal weight group, and the serum concentration of SHBG in obese group was significantly lower than that in overweight group ( P<0.05). The serum concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in overweight and obese group were significantly higher than those in normal weight group ( P<0.05). (2) There were 171 kinds of differential lipid compounds between normal weight group and overweight group, 218 species of differential lipid compounds between normal weight group and obese group, and 34 species of differential lipid compounds between overweight and obese group. Among them, 150 kinds of lipid compounds in normal weight group were significantly different from those in overweight and obese group. (3) SHGB was positively correlated with phosphatidyl cholines (PC) (20∶0/0∶0) and PC[18∶1(9E)/0∶0]( r=0.6, P<0.05), DHEA was positively correlated with diacylglycerol (DG)[17∶2(9Z, 12Z)/22∶0/0∶0]( r=0.5, P<0.05). Conclusions:9-12 years old overweight and obese boys had early growth and development, but sex hormone levels were not synchronized with growth and development. The serum DHEA level in overweight and obese boys was significantly increased, while the level of DG [17∶2 (9Z, 12Z)/22∶0/0∶0] was significantly increased, and the serum SHGB concentration was significantly decreased, while the vast majority of PC was significantly down-regulated. The mechanism of these changes needs to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the effect of the new polyamine analogue tetrabutyl propanediamine (TBP) on cell proliferation and the underlying mechanism. Methods MTT assay was performed to determine cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle transition. DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial membrane potential determinations were performed to detect cell apoptosis. The activity of key enzymes in polyamine catabolism was detected by chemiluminescence assay. Results TBP could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells by blockingcell cycle transition and by inducing apoptosis. The TBP-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells was in a dose-dependent manner. The enzyme activities of SMO and APAO were also significantly increased in HL-60 cells after treatment with 100 μM TBP for 24 hours. Conclusions TBP, as a new putrescine analogue, could inhibit proliferation of HL-60 cells by increasing the enzyme activity of SMO and APAO and inducing apoptosis.

AIM: To prepare recombinant human spermine oxidase (SMO) and polyclonal antibody against human SMO by gene recombination techniques. METHODS: Human SMO cDNA was amplified from total RNA of A549 cells through reverse transcription PCR. The cDNA was then cloned into pET-15b to construct SMO prokaryotic expression vector. After transforming, the vector was induced to express recombinant SMO by IPTG in E. coli BL21 (DE_3). Recombinant SMO was purified by Ni-NTA resin under denaturing condition and then was dialyzed to renature. The enzyme activity of recombinant SMO was analyzed by chemical fluorescent method. SMO polyclonal antibody was prepared by using recombinant human SMO protein purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as antigen to inoculate rabbit intradermally. The titer and specificity of anti-sera were determined by ELISA, Western blot and Immune Cell Chemistry. RESULTS: Purified and dialyzed recombinant human SMO has the specificicity of oxidizing the spermine. The polyclonal antibody has high titer and specificity against human SMO. CONCLUSION: This research established a method for prokaryotic expression, purification and polyclonal antibody preparation of human SMO. The method lays a foundation for the future functional research of SMO.
