| Abstract | Epidemiologic studies reported that the prevalence of hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) in male is about 1.5-fold higher than that in female. Decreases in circulatory estrogen (E$_{2}$) have been reported to downregulate the expression of E$_{2}$ receptor (ER) and significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Patients that received E$_{2}$ replacement therapy were found to have a reduction in the incidence of colon adenoma and carcinoma. Furthermore, significant decreases in the expression of ER have been found in colorectal cancer specimens. Evidences strongly suggest the protective roles of E$_{2}$ and ER against colorectal cancer. However, the mechanisms of ERα effects on colorectal cancer cells remained un-clear. LoVo cells were transient transfected to overexpress ERα, DNA fragmentation and the activated caspases measurements were performed to evaluate apoptotic effects. Western blotting was used to evaluate protein levels, and luciferase activity assay to measure the Htnf-a promoter activity. The results clearly demonstrated that overexpressed ERα with or without E$_{2}$ (10$^{−8}$ M) treatment could activate caspase -8, -9, and 3 and induce DNA fragmentation in LoVo cell. At the same time, overexpressed ERα plus E$_{2}$ significantly increases the expression and promoter activity of hTNF-α, and the DNA fragmentation effect induced by E$_{2}$ plus ERα were reduced by the addition of hTNF antibody (0.1 ng(ml). In addition, E$_{2}$ plus ERα significantly upregulated p21 and p27 levels and downregulated the β-catenin and its target genes, cyclin D1 and Rb, which regulate the cell cycle and cell proliferation. The results indicate that E$_{2}$ plus overexpressed ERα induce LoVo cell apoptosis might mediate through the increase of hTNF-α gene expression, which in turn activate caspase-8, -9 and caspase-3 and lead to the DNA fragmentation and apoptosis. E$_{2}$ plus ERα also showed the downregulation of β-catenin signalings implicating the suppression of proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cells. Efforts aiming at enhancing ERα expression and(or activity may be proved to be an alternative therapy against colorectal cancer. |

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.
