| Abstract | Endothelioma cell lines transformed by polyoma virus middle T antigen (mTa) cause cavernous hemangiomas in syngeneic mice by recruitment of host cells. The production of nitric oxide (NO), as measured by nitrite and citrulline production, was significantly higher in mTa-transformed endothelial cells in comparison with nontransformed control cells. The maximal activity of NO synthase (NOS) was about 200-fold higher in cell lysates from the tEnd.1 endothelioma cell line than in lysates from nontransformed controls, whereas the affinity for arginine did not differ. The biochemical characterization of NOS and the study of mRNA transcripts indicate that tEnd.1 cells express both the inducible and the constitutive isoforms. NOS hyperactivity is not a simple consequence of cell transformation but needs a tissue-specific mTa expression. Since tEnd.1-conditioned medium induces NOS activity in normal endothelial cells, most likely NOS hyperactivity in endothelioma cells is attributable to the release of a soluble factor. This NOS- activating factor, which seems to be an anionic protein, could stimulate tEnd.1 cells to express NOS by an autocrine way. By the same mechanism, tEnd.1 cells could induce NOS in the neighboring endothelial cells, and NO release could play a role in the hemangioma development. Such hypothesis is confirmed by our in vivo experiments, showing that the administration of the NOS inhibitor L-canavanine to endothelioma- bearing mice significantly reduced both the volume and the relapse time of the tumor. |

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.
