| Abstract | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is cytotoxic for several transformed cell lines in vitro. In the presence of LiCl, the murine fibrosarcoma cell lines L929 and WEHI 164 clone 13 became greater than 10 times more sensitive to TNF-mediated cytotoxicity. The human tumor cell lines BT20 and HeLa D98/AH2 were also responsive to the cytotoxicity-enhancing effect of LiCl. Other monovalent or divalent cations did not affect TNF-mediated cytotoxicity. The potentiating effect of LiCl on TNF cytotoxicity was largely independent of transcription, and LiCl could be added to the cells as early as 2 hr before or as late as 4 hr after TNF without loss of effectiveness. The mechanism by which LiCl increases the cytotoxic response seems to differ from the sensitizing effect of actinomycin D or interferon gamma, since the latter treatments overcame TNF resistance of several cell lines, whereas LiCl did not. Evidence is presented that LiCl acts, either directly or indirectly, via the TNF-activated phospholipase A2 pathway. In nude mice, a combination of TNF and LiCl led to hemorrhagic necrosis and growth inhibition of L929 tumors, whereas little effect was observed when TNF was administered alone. HeLa D98/AH2 tumors also were sensitive to the potentiating effect of LiCl in vivo. We conclude that LiCl enhances the effectiveness of TNF in vitro and in vivo, results that may have therapeutic implications. |

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.
