Disease relevance of ornithine

 

High impact information on ornithine

  • When various ECM constituents were adsorbed to polyornithine-conditioned glass, a favorable substrate for neural cells, the neurons avoided J1/tenascin-, but not laminin- or fibronectin-coated surfaces, while they grew on J1/tenascin-free, polyornithine-containing areas of the coverslip [6].
  • Zinc uptake in normal and leukemic lymphocytes: effect of poly-L-ornithine [1].
  • In contrast, suppression of GAP-43 expression prevented growth cone and neurite formation when DRG neurons were plated on poly-L-ornithine [7].
  • Motoneurons from E5 chicken spinal cord were incubated with pAntp, purified by panning on SC1 antibody and plated on polyornithine/laminin substrata without further addition of pAntp [8].
  • When postnatal granule cell neurons were cultured on tenascin adsorbed to polyornithine, both the percentage of neurite-bearing cells and the length of outgrowing neurites were increased when compared to neurons growing on polyornithine alone [9].

Gene context of ornithine

  • Surprisingly, in view of a previous study carried out using polyornithine as a substrate for neuronal cell attachment, on laminin-coated dishes BDNF also sustained survival and neurite outgrowth from a high percentage (60-70%) of DRG neurons taken from E6 embryos [24].
  • Compared to growth on polyornithine alone, oligodendroblast differentiation in the added presence of MAG or N-CAM was qualitatively unchanged; > 90% of surviving cells developed into OCs that matured further by immunocytochemical and morphological criteria [25].
  • When the neural precursor cells were carried in the presence of poly-l-ornithine (PLO), there was a strong induction of the expression of iNOS proteins, indicating the possibility that this isoform is amenable to modulation by extracellular cues [26].
  • CNTF, but not NGF, slightly enhanced survival at 7 days on either PORN or LN [27].
  • Ciliary ganglion neurons extend neuritic processes when cultured for 24 h in medium containing ciliary neuronotrophic factor (CNTF) and on a polyornithine substratum precoated with either laminin or a Schwannoma-derived neurite promoting factor (PNPF) [28].
