| Abstract | PKC-interacting protein (PKCI), also designated histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1, belongs to the histidine triad (HIT) family of proteins. Its structure is highly conserved from bacteria to humans and shares homology with the tumor-suppressor gene fragile histidine triad (FHIT). Although it was originally thought to inhibit PKC, its actual physiologic function is not known. Therefore, we used the technique of homologous recombination to generate homozygous deleted PKCI-/- mice. These mice display normal fetal and adult development. However, when mouse embryo fibroblasts were established from 13.5-day embryos and serially passaged the PKCI-/- cells displayed an increase in growth rate and underwent spontaneous immortalization, whereas the PKCI+/+ cells senesced and ceased growing. Furthermore, the PKCI-/- mouse embryo fibroblasts displayed increased resistance to cytotoxicity by ionizing radiation. In view of these findings we examined possible effects of PKCI on susceptibility to carcinogenicity. Both PKCI+/+ and PKCI-/- mice were treated with the chemical carcinogen N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA) by intragastric administration and killed 12 weeks later. As expected with this protocol, NMBA induced squamous tumors (both papillomas and carcinomas) of the forestomach. The incidence, multiplicity per mouse, volume, and degree of malignancy of these tumors were significantly greater in the PKCI-/- than in the PKCI+/+ mice. Furthermore, four adenomas and one adenocarcinoma of the glandular stomach were found in the NMBA-treated PKCI-/- mice but no tumors of the glandular stomach were found in the NMBA-treated PKCI+/+ mice or in any of the untreated mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that, like FHIT, PKCI may normally play a tumor-suppressor role. The possible role of PKCI as a tumor suppressor in humans remains to be determined. |

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.
