| Abstract | Blockade of the heregulin-mediated growth signaling is important to prevent the proliferation of colon cancer. We previously reported that butyrate is a potent inhibitor of the heregulin-stimulated proliferation of colon cancer cells. While clinical use of butyrate is limited due to its very short plasma half-life, using tributyrin (TB) as a prodrug of butyrate may be an alternative solution. In the present study, we investigated a possibility to use TB-incorporated emulsion as a potent inhibitor of colon cancer cell proliferation. When the growth of CaCo-2 and SNU-C4, two colon cancer cells, was stimulated by serum, TB emulsion exerted 2.8- and 5.7-fold higher inhibitory effect compared with free butyrate, based on the 50 % inhibitory concentration. When the growth of colon cancer cells was stimulated by heregulin, pretreatment with TB emulsion almost completely suppressed the heregulin-stimulated proliferation of cells at a concentration ineffective as butyrate. The more potent inhibition of heregulin-stimulated proliferation by TB emulsion was associated with more effective blockade of the activation of Akt and ERK1/2, which are important downstream molecules mediating hereuglin-stimulated proliferation of cancer cells. Taken together, TB emulsion is a potent agent that can inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer cells. |

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.
