Researchers from the University of Hong Kong have just revealed that by using an enzyme inhibitor called DFMO on mice infected with malignant pleural mesothelioma, they were able to extend the animals’ lifespan. Writing in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the study’s authors indicated that DFMO seems to stop the production of polyamines in mesothelioma cells. Polyamines are found in all cells, and have been cited as one possible reason why the rare asbestos-related cancer is able to grow and spread so quickly, as mesothelioma tumors produce an enzyme mesothelioma survivors that accelerates polyamine levels.  The researchers found that after DFMO was administered, the cancerous cells stopped proliferating, and believe it is because the substance stops the enzyme’s action. The researchers conducted two different experiments to determine DMFO’s impact on mesothelioma: in the first they gave the substance to mice, in water, for a week prior to injecting them with mesothelioma cells. In the second they injected the animals with mesothelioma first, then gave them the DFMO in water after the cells had grown to a specific size.
