| Abstract | We previously have identified a subpopulation of contact-insensitive (CS-) cells which lacks density-dependent inhibition of cell division in primary and low-passage cultures of Syrian hamster embryonic (SHE) fibroblastic cells. Further, we have shown that the proportion of these CS- cells declines as a result of the stable phenotypic conversion of the CS- cells to contact-sensitive (CS+) cells. To determine whether these transient CS- cells are more sensitive to carcinogenic/mutagenic perturbation, the susceptibility to neoplastic transformation and somatic mutation induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was examined in clonally isolated cell cultures containing various proportions of CS- cells (0.02-4%). The frequencies of morphological transformation, focus formation, and neoplastic transformation showed a positive correlation to the proportion of CS- cells in the treated cultures. In contrast, the frequency of MNNG-induced somatic mutation at the Na+,K+-ATPase locus was similar among cultures varying in their proportion of CS- cells. Thus, there is a transient subpopulation of CS- cells in primary SHE cell cultures that is more susceptible to neoplastic transformation although equally susceptible to induced point mutation. This dissociation between somatic point mutation and neoplastic transformation indicates a fundamental difference in the nature of these two phenomena. A possible relationship between the propensity of CS- cells (versus CS+ cells) to carcinogen-induced neoplastic transformation and the state of differentiation of the CS- cells is 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.
