Description

Putrescine (polyamines, spermidine and spermine) are organic cations of low molecular weight, it have important roles in cellular growth, cell differentiation, modulation of enzyme activities, regulation of ion channels and in the control of DNA and protein synthesis[1-2].

Putrescine(100 ng/ml) promoted induction of immature bone marrow derived DCs (BMDCs), along with the increased phagocytosis and migration, and altered cytokine secretion in immature BMDCs [3]. Putrescine(0.5mM) improved the mitochondrial function of both oocyte and CCs via antioxygenation and the regulation of glucose metabolism [4-5]. Putrescine(100 μM) shifts L-arginine-metabolism related-genes on BALB/c macrophages and affects infection by L. amazonensis[6].

Putrescine produces antidepressant-like effects. Putrescine (1-10 mg/kg, i.p) significantly reduced the immobility time both in the mouse forced swimming test (FST) and in the tail suspension test (TST), two models predictive of antidepressant activity [7]. Putrescine(100 μM;24h) elicits ROS-dependent activation of the salicylic acid pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana[8].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells

Preparation Method

Cells were treated with putrescine and transwell experiments were performed. 

Reaction Conditions

100 ng/ml

Applications

Putrescine enhanced immature migration of DCs. Putrescine promoted the induction of bone marrow cells to immature DCs.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Swiss mice

Preparation Method

Putrescine injected mice intraperitoneally and then observed and measured forced swimming test (FST) . The forced swimming test was conducted on mice, each of which was placed in an open cylindrical container to swim. A mouse was considered immobile when it stopped struggling and floated passively in the water, making only minimal movements to keep its head above the surface.

Dosage form

1–10 mg/kg; i.p; administered 30 min before the test

Applications

Putrescine significantly decreased the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST).
