| Abstract | In the prostate gland of adult mammals, most epithelial cells are in a state of proliferative quiescence. Androgens regulate this effect by inducing cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. Potential mediators of this androgen-induced proliferative shutoff were identified by means of subtracted cDNA libraries. The expression pattern of one of these sequences, AS3, strongly correlated with the expression of the androgen-induced proliferative shutoff both temporally and dosewise. The AS3 gene is located on chromosome 13 q12.3, in close proximity to the BRCA2 gene. The loss of chromosomal regions where AS3 alleles are located correlates with various human cancers, including prostate. The biological effect of AS3 was tested in two stable cell lines, one expressing sense and another expressing antisense AS3 constructs, both under tetracycline regulation. S9 cells were obtained by retroviral infection with virions containing a tetracycline-regulated sense AS3 construct. In these cells, sense AS3 was negatively regulated by tetracycline. Tetracycline withdrawal increased the expression of AS3 mRNA and protein. The expression of tetracycline-regulated AS3 resulted in inhibition of cell proliferation. A4 cells were obtained by retroviral infection with virions containing a tetracycline-regulated antisense AS3 construct. Vector-driven expression of antisense-AS3 blocked the induction of androgen-induced endogenous AS3 mRNA and blocked the inhibitory effect of androgens on cell proliferation. Tetracycline-regulated expression of the empty vector control had no effect on cell proliferation. These experiments strongly suggest that AS3 is a mediator of the androgen-induced proliferative shutoff. |

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.
