| Abstract | The rMTC 6-23 cell line was derived from a calcitonin-producing rat medullary thyroid carcinoma. During characterization of these cells we discovered that they also synthesize and secrete neurotensin (NT), a tridecapeptide originally isolated from the hypothalamus and not previously associated with C cells. Immunoreactive NT (iNT) was measured with two antisera: HC-8, which recognizes the COOH-terminal eight amino acids, and TG-1, which binds the NH2-terminal region of NT. By use of these antisera, 2 M acetic acid extracts of rMTC 6-23 cells were found to contain 0.7--5.0 pmol of iNT per mg of cell protein. Successive fractionation of iNT from cell extracts by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatograpy, and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography showed at each step a peak of iNT that was indistinguishable from synthetic NT in its chromatographic behavior. Biologic activity of the iNT was confirmed by demonstrating the characteristic fall in arterial blood pressure in the rat after intravenous injection of material purified from rMTC 6-23 cells. Calcium (0.5--4.0 mM) stimulated release of iNT in a dose-dependent manner; the effect was maximal at 3--4 mM calcium. K+ (50 mM) stimulated release of iNT that was maximal in the presence of 1.0--1.5 mM calcium. Synthesis and secretion of iNT by these cells were shown during a 16-day growth experiment. These results demonstrate that rMTC 6-23 cells contain NT and suggest the possibility of an association between neurotensin and calcitonin. |

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.
