| Abstract | In this study we aim at understanding the response of epidermis to barrier disruption by chemical injury. In contrast to cells in culture, engineered skin tissues mimic human epidermis in terms of tissue architecture and exhibit significant barrier function. Skin equivalents were cultured for seven days at the air-liquid interface and then exposed to acetone for various times. Long exposure (>5 min) to acetone resulted in loss of metabolic activity over time. Histological staining showed that the tissues were affected in a time and position-dependent fashion. Using the TUNEL assay we found that exposure to acetone increased apoptosis especially in the upper layers of the epidermis. Interestingly, addition of KGF reduced apoptosis significantly. To identify changes of gene expression in response to barrier disruption and KGF treatment, we employed cDNA micro-array technology. We found that acetone treatment increased the levels of several genes, which are involved in apoptosis. Interestingly, KGF downregulated genes that promote apoptosis and upregulated genes that promote cell survival. Our results suggest that KGF may exert its protective effect(s) by preventing apoptosis. Furthermore, we propose that functional genomics may be used in tissue engineering to understand tissue development, wound regeneration and response to environmental stimuli. |

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.
