| Abstract | At nanomolar concentrations, phorbol ester, a class of potent tumor promoters, can promote differentiation in the human malignant T-lymphoblastic cell line MOLT-3. The optimal dose for induction, as measured by the increase of the number of cells containing sheep erythrocyte receptors (E-rosette assay), is between 8 and 16 nM 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), although there were significant increases of E-rosette-positive (E(+)) cells at concentrations as low as 1.6 nM TPA. The induction was linear for 4 days, then it reached a plateau. This induction was independent of the cell densities of the cultures, and the viability of the E(+) cells remained high (95-100%) even after 10 days of culture in the presence of the tumor promoters. The E(+) cells, when measured with the more stable 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide E-rosette assay, indicated that virtually all (75-95%) of the MOLT-3 cells became E(+) by 4 days in culture. This induction by TPA was also accompanied by a dramatic drop in the plating efficiencies and a reduction in DNA synthesis. Examination of phorbol and other phrobol esters indicated that the ability to induce these cells correlated well with the tumor-promoting activities of these compounds, because only TPA and to a lesser extent phorbol 12,13,-dibenzoate induced E(+) cells, while phorbol and 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate had no effect. Studies of MOLT-3 cells depleted of E(+) cells indicated that the induction of E(+) cells cannot be explained solely on the basis of enrichment or stimulation of the background E(+) cells in MOLT-3 cultures. Finally, we have shown that TPA also affected another differentiation marker, the loss of the enzyme terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase. Terminal transferase activities and percentages of terminal-transferase-positive cells in these cultures were reduced to as low as 1/10th in 4 days in the presence of 16 nM TPA. |

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.
