| Abstract | Peripheral nerve sheath tumors from individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) are highly vascular and contain Schwann cells which are deficient in neurofibromin. This study examines the angiogenic expression profile of neurofibromin-deficient human Schwann cells relative to normal human Schwann cells, characterizing both pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors. Conditioned media from neurofibromin-deficient Schwann cell lines was pro-angiogenic as evidenced by its ability to stimulate endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Using gene array and protein array analysis, we found increased expression of pro-angiogenic factors and decreased expression of anti-angiogenic factors in neurofibromin-deficient Schwann cells relative to normal human Schwann cells. Neurofibromin-deficient Schwann cells also showed increased expression of several growth factor receptors and decreased expression of an integrin. We conclude that neurofibromin-deficient Schwann cells have dysregulated expression of pro-angiogenic factors, anti-angiogenic factors, growth factor receptors, and an integrin. These dysregulated molecules may contribute to the growth and progression of NF1 peripheral nerve sheath tumors. |

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.
