| Abstract | TNF-α is an endogenous signaling protein which controls physiological activities and participates in immune response. It is known to interact with TNF receptors (TNFR), of which have two kinds leading to totally different effects. Binding of TNF-α to TNFR1 can induce either cell proliferation or cell death, i.e., necroptosis, depending on the kinds of protein to which it binds during the signaling cascade. On the contrary, binding of TNF-α to TNFR2 induces only cell death process. TNF-α can also cause antiviral effect by inducing interferon, and can inhibit tumor growth. Moreover, TNF-α helps action of immune cells and it leads to increasement of tumor cell lysis. TNF-α also makes tumor vessels more permeable and induces coagulation and thrombosis in the tumor vessels, which ultimately contribute to antitumor effect. However, TNF-α also has several toxic effects, which include the change in redox status of antioxidant factors, induction of excess inflammation response, and action as pro-inflammatory cytokine of itself. These toxicities need to be considered when developing TNF-α as an anticancer agent. In this review, pharmaceutical approaches to optimize and utilize its antitumor activity of TNF-α as well as to decrease its adverse effect are discussed. |

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.
