| Abstract | Nitric oxide-donating aspirin (NO-ASA) is a promising chemoprevention agent against colon cancer and other cancers. It consists of traditional ASA to which a NO-releasing moiety is bound through a spacer. NO-ASA inhibits colon cancer cell growth several hundred times more potently than does ASA. In Min mice, NO-ASA inhibited intestinal carcinogenesis without affecting cell proliferation. Thus, we examined whether NO-ASA's most important cell kinetic effect is the induction of apoptosis. After confirming induction of apoptosis in Min mice, we studied the underlying mechanism in human colon adenocarcinoma cells. NO-ASA's spacer formed a conjugate with glutathione, depleting glutathione stores. This induced oxidative stress (increased intracellular levels of peroxides and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}\begin{equation*}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{{\cdot}-}\end{equation*}\end{document} ) leads to apoptosis by activating the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. NO-ASA disrupted adherens junctions by inducing cleavage of β- and γ-catenin, resulting in cell detachment. NO-ASA inhibited Wnt signaling by a dual mechanism: at low concentrations it blocked the formation of β-catenin/Tcf complexes (dominant mechanism), and at higher concentrations it also cleaved β-catenin. These findings provide a mechanism of action by a potent chemopreventive agent, underscore the significance of these pathways in regulating cell death in the context of cancer chemoprevention, and present a paradigm for developing agents with enhanced cancer cell growth inhibitory properties. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
