Abstract

The effect of transfection of NIH 3T3 cells by the human ras (c-Ha-ras-1) oncogene on uptake, interconversion, and excretion of polyamines was studied. Uptake and interconversion of spermidine were higher in the ras-transfected cells. Acetylpolyamines were excreted into the medium by the ras-transfected cells, whereas they were retained by NIH 3T3 cells. In addition to acetylpolyamines, some unknown polyamine conjugates occurred in the ras-transfected cells.
