Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1 (AMD1) has been implicated in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. However, the potential biomechanism and biological implications of AMD1 in breast cancer (BC) remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of abnormal expression of AMD1 in BC. The expression of AMD1 in different human BC cell lines was studied by using western blotting and qRT-PCR. In vitro cell proliferation, clone formation, cell cycle and apoptosis assays were performed to explore the effect of AMD1 on cellular proliferation. Xenograft mouse models were established to elucidate the role of AMD1 in BC growth. The expression profiles of AMD1 in 28 pairs of BC tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues (ANTs) were investigated by using western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The clinical implication and prognostic evaluation of AMD1 in BC were examined by excavating the online database. We found that the expression levels of AMD1 in BC cell lines were significantly higher than those in the normal human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. In addition, AMD1 potentiated proliferation, induced cell cycle progression and inhibited apoptosis in BC cells. Subcutaneous tumor xenografts also supported the promotive role of AMD1 in BC growth. We discovered that the level of AMD1 in BC tissues was significantly higher than that in ANTs. Using the online database, increased AMD1 was found to be associated with clinical indicators and predicted a poor prognosis in patients with BC. Our findings indicate that AMD1 elicits potent oncogenic effects on the malignant progression of BC. AMD1 might serve as a promising diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with BC.

Supraphysiological androgen (SPA) treatment can paradoxically restrict growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer with high androgen receptor (AR) activity, which is the basis for use of Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT) for patients with this disease. While androgens are widely appreciated to enhance anabolic metabolism, how SPA-mediated metabolic changes alter prostate cancer progression and therapy response is unknown. Here, we report that SPA markedly increased intracellular and secreted polyamines in prostate cancer models.

Evaluation of methods for detection of Campylobacter in raw milk: A multi-country study.

Int J Food Microbiol

January 2025

Swedish Veterinary Agency, 751 89 Uppsala, Sweden. Electronic address:

Raw milk is considered a high-risk source of Campylobacter due to faecal contamination from healthy cattle and farm environments, thus linking raw milk consumption to global outbreaks. Detection of Campylobacter in raw milk poses challenges due to low contamination levels and antibacterial properties of the milk. Culture-based protocols for Campylobacter detection in milk vary, mainly with regard to pH adjustment and the choice of enrichment broth.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of the AViTA BP636 upper-arm home blood pressure (BP) monitor in general populations with small to extra-large arms according to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO Universal Standard (ISO 81060-2 : 2018/Amd1 : 2020).

Methods: The AViTA BPM636 was utilized on 85 adult participants with upper-arm circumferences ranging from 15 to 52 cm, and four cuffs of different sizes (small: 15-22 cm, normal: 22-33 cm, large: 33-42 cm, and extra large: 42-52 cm) were used in this study. The recruitment fulfills the criteria of the ANSI/AAMI/ISO Universal Standard 81060-2 : 2018/Amd1 : 2020 in the general population using the same arm sequential BP measurement method.
