| Abstract | Mechanical loading is known to trigger proliferation of tumor cells. Periostin is a new molecule found to increase in many cancers. To determine how mechanical strain modulates tumor growth and its possible mediation by periostin through TGF-β1, Lewis lung cancer cells were cultured on flexible-bottomed culture plates and cyclically strained using Flexercell Strain Unit. Real-time RT-PCR was used to quantify periostin and TGF-β1 mRNA levels at 6, 12, 18, and 24 h of loading. In addition, periostin and TGF-β1 neutralizing antibodies were added to the medium. We showed that the proliferative ability of Lewis cancer cells was significantly increased by cyclical strain. This change can be blocked by 5 µg/ml of periostin neutralizing antibody. Periostin mRNA increased by 1.1-, 3.2-, 4.7-, and 9.2-fold while TGF-β1 mRNA increased by 5.3-, 10.3-, 7.1-, and 6.5-fold at 6, 12, 18, and 24 h, respectively. Periostin protein in medium increased after cyclical strain. Expression of periostin mRNA in response to mechanical loading was completely blocked by 2.5 µg/ml of TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody. In addition, overexpression of periostin in Lewis cells can promote cell proliferation. Our results suggest that periostin is a potent positive regulator of tumor growth in response to mechanical loading and is possibly a downstream factor of TGF-β1. |

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.
