  • Title: Effects of alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine on alpha-fetoprotein and albumin secretion in human hepatoma cell line, PLC/PRF/5.
    Author: Nakagawa T, Nakao Y, Matsui T, Koizumi T, Watanabe S, Fujita T.
    Journal: Cancer Lett; 1985 Sep 30; 28(3):245-51. PubMed ID: 2413987.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro effects of alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine (DFMO) on the growth and the secretion of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin in human hepatoma cell line PLC/PRF/5 were studied. DFMO caused a marked reduction in the growth rate and de novo synthesis of DNA, whereas secretion of AFP and albumin was not altered. These data indicate that AFP and albumin secretion are neither linked to polyamine synthesis nor to cellular proliferation in human hepatoma cells.
