Ornithine decarboxylase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines, which are believed to play an essential role in diverse biological processes including cell proliferation and differentiation. We have previously reported [J. Bomser, K. Singletary, M. Wallig, M. Smith, Inhibition of TPA-induced tumor promotion in CD-1 mouse epidermis by a polyphenolic fraction from grape seeds, Cancer Letters 135 (1999) 151-157] that pre-application of a grape polyphenolic fraction (GPF) to mouse skin epidermis inhibits 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, as well as 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-initiated. TPA-promoted mouse skin tumorigenesis. The present studies were designed to further characterize the effect of time and dose of application of GPF on TPA-induced ODC activity and protein expression, and on protein kinase C activity in mouse skin epidermis. In addition, the effect of GPF on ODC kinetics in vitro was examined. Application of 5, 10, and 20 mg of GPF 20 min prior to treatment with TPA resulted in a significant decrease in epidermal ODC activity of 54, 53, 90%, respectively, compared with controls. Yet. ODC protein levels (Western blot) in the 10 and 20 mg GPF groups were significantly increased by 1.8 and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared with controls. A similar response was observed with the ODC inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), which served as a positive control. Application of grape polyphenolics (20 mg) at 60 and 30 min prior to treatment with TPA inhibited ODC activity by 62 and 68%, respectively, compared with controls (P < 0.05). In contrast, application of grape polyphenolics (20 mg) at 60, 120 and 240 min after treatment with TPA resulted in no significant changes in ODC activity. A similar increase in epidermal ODC protein was observed in these GPF-treated animals, similar tu that observed when GPF application preceded TPA. When applied to mouse skin prior to TPA, GPF was associated with a decrease in subsequent PKC activity compared with controls at 10 and 30 min following TPA treatment. The GPF-associated decrease in PKC activity preceded the decrease in ODC activity. In a separate in vitro study, kinetic analyses indicated that GPF is a competitive inhibitor of ODC activity. Collectively these data suggest that the grape polyphenolic fraction is effective as an inhibitor of ODC activity when applied before TPA, and that the magnitude of inhibition is independent of epidermal ODC protein content. In addition, GPF is a competitive inhibitor of. ODC activity in vitro. The decrease in TPA-induced ODC activity clue to GPF treatment is preceded by an inhibition of TPA-induced PKC activity. Thus, the polyphenolic fraction from grapes warrants further examination as a skin cancer chemopreventive agent that interferes with cellular, events associated with TPA promotion.
