Depletion of intracellular polyamines may alter DNA conformation in 9L rat brain tumor cells

Abstract

Depletion of polyamines in 9L rat brain tumor cells by treatment with alpha-difluoromethylornithine dramatically altered DNA conformation as measured by viscoelastometry. The reduction of intracellular putrescine and spermidine concentrations to less than 5 percent of their concentrations in control cells decreased the sensitivity of 9L cell DNA to x-irradiation and increased the maximum viscoelastic retardation time of the DNA. Both of these phenomena were reversed by addition of exogenous putrescine.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
