eflornithine and Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

eflornithine has been researched along with Carcinoma, Hepatocellular in 5 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular: A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Our previous study showed that treatment of highly invasive rat ascites hepatoma (LC-AH) cells with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, decreased both their intracellular level of putrescine and their in vitro invasion of a monolayer of calf pulmonary arterial endothelial (CPAE) cells, and that both these decreases were completely reversed by exogenous putrescine, but not spermidine or spermine."7.70Putrescine-stimulated intracellular Ca2+ release for invasiveness of rat ascites hepatoma cells. ( Ashida, Y; Inoue, H; Miwa, Y; Miyoshi, K; Ueno, A, 1998)
