Putrescine Stimulates the mTOR Signaling Pathway and Protein Synthesis in Porcine Trophectoderm Cells

Biology of Reproduction, 91(5).

By: X. Kong*, X. Wang*, Y. Yin*, X. Li*, H. Gao*, F. Bazer*, G. Wu*

author keywords: mTOR; placental cells; protein synthesis; putrescine
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Proliferation / drug effects; Cells, Cultured; Ectoderm / drug effects; Ectoderm / metabolism; Eflornithine / pharmacology; Female; Pregnancy; Protein Biosynthesis / drug effects; Putrescine / pharmacology; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Swine; TOR Serine-Threonine Kinases / metabolism; Trophoblasts / drug effects; Trophoblasts / metabolism; Up-Regulation / drug effects
TL;DR: Results indicate that putrescine promotes cell proliferation and protein synthesis in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which was inhibited by difluoro-methylornithine (an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase), and reveals a novel and important role for putresCine in regulating the mTOR signaling pathway in porcine placental cells.
