  Introduction and Aim: Gymnemasylvestre is rich source of triterpenoid saponins and is popularly known for its anti-diabetic potential. Gymnemic acid is chiefly responsible for its therapeutic potential. In fact, gymnemic acid is a group of compounds known as gymnemagenin (oleanane group) and other related compounds are gymnemasides (dammaranes). Despite of its immense medicinal importance, very few studies were conducted for enhanced gymnemic acid production. The present study undertaken for the enhanced gymnemic acid production using silver nitrate (AgNO3) as effective elicitor and its influence on other culture parameters.   Materials and Methods:Callus culture was initiated for cell suspension culture establishment and is used to study the elicitor effect. Different doses of AgNO3 used at varied culture periods and its mediated effect on growth index, pH, EC and MDA content was conducted. Gymnemic acid production was estimated by HPLC.   Results:Cell growth was positively influenced by AgNO3 with concomitant change in pH and EC of the medium. Apparent rise in MDA content in response to increased AgNO3 dosage was observed and is positively correlated with enhanced gymnemic acid production. Dose dependent effect of AgNO3 was observed at different culture periods used under study.  Conclusion: Substantial improvements of gymnemic acid produced in response to AgNO3 at 100µM dosage can be used for its enhanced production at industrial scale. It also offers opportunities for studying elicitor influence on other parameters for gymnemic acid production

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Modulating specific biological effects through the changes in cytokine receptors’ expression level remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the dose-dependent effect of TNF on the balance between proapoptotic and proliferation response depending on the parameters of TNFR1/2 expression density. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Tumor cell lines (HEp-2, K-562, MCF-7, ZR-75/1, MOLT-4, IM-9, and Raji) were characterized for TNFR1/2 co-expression using flow cytometry and were studied to reveal the dose-dependent effect of rhTNF on cell cycle and apoptosis parameters. The associations among the studied parameters were estimated by correlation and regression analysis. <b><i>Results:</i></b> It was found for ZR-75/1 cells (the cell line characterized by high expression of both types) that a dose-dependent increase in expression of both types of TNF-α receptors on cells reduces the proliferative activity of cells. For MOLT-4 cells (which are characterized by lower expression), an increase in proliferative response of cells was positively associated with the percentage of both TNFR1<sup>+</sup> and TNFR2<sup>+</sup> cells. However, opposite effects on the cells were shown for the K-562 and MCF-7 lines having a similar expression profile. A similarity (a large percentage of double-positive cells) was revealed for the lines having similar effects (K-562 and ZR-75/1). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> High expression of TNF receptor type 1 is not always associated with predominant activation of proapoptotic pathways. However, in the case of simultaneous high expression of both types of receptors, the proportion of double-positive cells is crucial for the activation of either the proapoptotic or proliferation pathways.
