The polyamines spermidine and spermine and their precursor putrescine are intimately involved in and are required for cell growth and proliferation. This study examines the mechanism by which polyamines modulate cell growth, cell cycle progression, and signal transduction cascades. IEC-6 cells were grown in the presence or absence of DL-alpha -difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, which is the first rate-limiting enzyme for polyamine synthesis. Depletion of polyamines inhibited growth and arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Cell cycle arrest was accompanied by an increase in the level of p53 protein and other cell cycle inhibitors, including p21Waf1/Cip1 and p27Kip1. Induction of cell cycle inhibitors and p53 did not induce apoptosis in IEC-6 cells, unlike many other cell lines. Although polyamine depletion decreased the expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-2 protein, a sustained increase in ERK-2 isoform activity was observed. The ERK-1 protein level did not change, but ERK-1 activity was increased in polyamine-depleted cells. In addition, polyamine depletion induced the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) type of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Activation of JNK-1 was the earliest event; within 5 h after DFMO treatment, JNK activity was increased by 150%. The above results indicate that polyamine depletion causes cell cycle arrest and upregulates cell cycle inhibitors and suggest that MAPK and JNK may be involved in the regulation of the activity of these molecules.
