Polyamine depletion induces G(1 )and S phase arrest in human retinoblastoma Y79 cells

BACKGROUND: Polyamines and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) are essential for cell proliferation. DL-α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a synthetic inhibitor of ODC, induces G(1 )arrest through dephosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The effect of DFMO on cell growth of pRb deficient cells is...
