| Abstract | Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells invade interstitial connective tissue and proliferate. Suppression of this invasion and proliferation could serve as a novel molecular therapy. Since insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) interacts with components of interstitial tissue, we focused on the inhibition of IGF-IR, analyzing HLE and HLF, poorly-differentiated HCC cells, as well as PLC/PRF/5 and Huh-7, well-differentiated HCC cells. Cell numbers were counted under serum starvation. Western blot analysis showed that all cell lines clearly expressed IGF-IR. Either a neutralizing antibody of IGF-IR or picropodophyllin (PPP), a specific inhibitor of IGF-IR, were used, with MTS assay, to analyze changes in cell number or, with wound assay, to analyze invasion. HLF significantly proliferated without serum while the cell numbers of the other cell lines did not. IGF-IR antibody did not affect HLF cell number, while PPP decreased it. Wound assay clearly indicated that PPP inhibited the invasion of HLF. H&E staining showed that apoptosis caused the inhibition of proliferation and metastasis. In conclusion, IGF-IR was involved in the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells in interstitial connective tissue. It was proposed that an inhibitor of IGF-IR, PPP, would be a good candidate for molecular therapy for HCC via the suppression of proliferation/invasion in interstitial connective tissue. |

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.
