| Abstract | Previous studies of Min/+ (multiple intestinal neoplasia) mice on a sensitive genetic background, C57BL/6 (B6), showed that adenomas have lost heterozygosity for the germ-line ApcMin mutation in the Apc (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene. We now report that on a strongly resistant genetic background, AKR/J (AKR), Min-induced adenoma multiplicity is reduced by about two orders of magnitude compared with that observed on the B6 background. Somatic treatment with a strong mutagen increases tumor number in AKR Min/+ mice in an age-dependent manner, similar to results previously reported for B6 Min/+ mice. Immunohistochemical analyses indicate that Apc expression is suppressed in all intestinal tumors from both untreated and treated AKR Min/+ mice. However, the mechanism of Apc inactivation in AKR Min/+ mice often differs from that observed for B6 Min/+ mice. Although loss of heterozygosity is observed in some tumors, a significant percentage of tumors showed neither loss of heterozygosity nor Apc truncation mutations. These results extend our understanding of the effects of genetic background on Min-induced tumorigenesis in several ways. First, the AKR strain carries modifiers of Min in addition to Mom1. This combination of AKR modifiers can almost completely suppress spontaneous intestinal tumorigenesis associated with the Min mutation. Second, even on such a highly resistant genetic background, tumor formation continues to involve an absence of Apc function. The means by which Apc function is inactivated is affected by genetic background. Possible scenarios 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.
