July 2004 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study explored the impact of overexpressing the enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in TRAMP mice, a model for prostate cancer. By cross-breeding these mice with SSAT-overexpressing mice, researchers observed a significant reduction in tumor growth, with genitourinary tract weights being 4 to 12 times less than in TRAMP mice alone by 30 to 36 weeks of age. This tumor suppression was attributed to increased polyamine catabolism, which depleted acetyl-CoA and S-adenosylmethionine, despite increased polyamine biosynthesis. Histopathological analysis showed less advanced tumors in TRAMP/SSAT mice, suggesting that SSAT overexpression could be a promising therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer. Additionally, a genitourinary disease index was developed to assess the treatment's impact, particularly in the C57BL/6 mouse background.
