| Abstract | Nerve growth factor (NGF) therapy has been considered as potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of neural injury and degeneration. However, the high concentration of NGF may exert adverse effects and long period treatment of NGF raises an issue of medical cost. Thus, to investigate combination of NGF therapy with other approach to promote neurite outgrowth is of great interest. Here, we intend to explore the possibility and associated molecular mechanisms of combining NGF and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) in promoting neurite outgrowth, which is an essential process in neuronal regeneration. PC12 cells, which will differentiate into neurons upon NGF stimulation as the in vitro model. LIPUS (1MHz) was applied to PC12 cells for 10 min every other day with spatial average intensity 50 $mW/cm^{2},$ 20% duty cycle, 100 Hz pulse repetition frequency, and then incubated with NGF. It is found that LIPUS alone could not significantly induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. However, LIPUS could significantly enhance the neurite length in the presence of NGF. In addition, LIPUS alone could increase the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Akt and CREB. However, LIPUS combined with NGF could only increase the levels of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB, but not change the level of p-Akt. Taken together, these results provide important insights that LIPUS synergistically enhances NGF-induced ERK1/2-CREB pathway to promote neurite outgrowth. |

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.
