| Abstract | TNFalpha is crucially involved in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure. The formation and release of TNFalpha and its downstream signal transduction cascade following activation of its two receptor subtypes is characterized, with special emphasis on the cardiovascular system. In the vasculature, TNFalpha alters endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function as well as endothelial cell-blood cell interaction; the importance of such alterations for vascular dysfunction, the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis are discussed. In the myocardium, TNFalpha contributes to reversible and irreversible ischemia/reperfusion injury, post-myocardial infarction remodeling and heart failure development. Simultaneously, TNFalpha also contributes to cardioprotection by ischemic conditioning. Emphasis is placed on such ambivalent (detrimental vs. beneficial) role of TNFalpha, which appears to be dose- and time-dependent and in part related to the activation of the specific receptor subtype. Given the ambivalent role of TNFalpha and its receptors, it is not surprising that clinical trials using compounds that antagonize TNFalpha revealed ambiguous and largely disappointing results in cardiovascular disease, notably in heart failure. Future perspectives to antagonize and/or potentially recruit TNFalpha in the cardiovascular system are critically 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.
