| Abstract | The antiapoptotic molecule Fas-associated death domain-like IL-1β-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (FLIP) inhibits Fas-mediated apoptosis by blocking activation of caspase-8. We previously showed that expression of transgenic FLIP on thyroid epithelial cells (TECs) of DBA/1 and CBA/J mice promoted earlier resolution of granulomatous experimental autoimmune thyroiditis in vivo. This study was undertaken to directly determine whether transgenic FLIP expressed on cultured TECs can protect TECs from Fas-mediated apoptosis in vitro. The results indicate that cultured TECs from DBA/1 and CBA/J mice can be sensitized in vitro by interferon-γ and TNF-α to undergo Fas-mediated apoptosis. Transgenic overexpression of FLIP protected cultured TECs of FLIP transgene (Tg)+ DBA/1 and CBA/J mice from Fas-mediated apoptosis, and FLIP small interfering RNA transfection of cultured TECs of FLIP Tg+ DBA/1 and CBA/J mice abolished the protective effect. These in vitro results are consistent with our previous in vivo studies using DBA/1 and CBA/J FLIP Tg+ mice and provide direct support for the hypothesis that transgenic expression of FLIP promotes resolution of granulomatous experimental autoimmune thyroiditis by protecting TECs from apoptosis. |

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.
