| Abstract | Because Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and dibutiryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) modulate the production and effects of haemopoietic cytokines in allergy, we examined their ability to modulate responses of myeloid progenitors to GM-CSF, and of eosinophil precursors to IL-5. The ability of PGE2, dbcAMP, rolipram, forskolin, dbcGMP and PGD2, to modulate the responses to GM-CSF and IL-5 in colony formation (progenitor) and eosinophil differentiation (precursor) assays using bone-marrow from nonsensitized or from intranasally-challenged, ovalbumin-sensitized mice of five strains was studied. PGE2 (10−7 M) inhibited GM-CSF-stimulated colony formation in bone-marrow from BP-2 mice. This effect was duplicated by dbcAMP (0.3–1×10−6 M), Rolipram (10−5 M) and forskolin (3×10−5 M), but not Prostaglandin D2 (10−6 M). Inhibition affected similarly all myeloid colony types. Progenitors from sensitized and challenged BP-2 mice were also inhibited by PGE2 and cyclic AMP. PGE2 inhibited progenitors from C57BL/10, CBA/J and A/J, but not BALB/c mice. However, BALB/c progenitors were sensitive to dbcAMP and Forskolin (10−4 M). In contrast, in precursor assays, PGE2 (10−7–10−9 M) blocked responses to IL-5 in bone-marrow from BP-2 and BALB/c mice, either naïve or sensitized and challenged, to a similar extent. PGD2 (10−6 M) was ineffective, as was PGE2 (10−7 M), if added after 48 h of culture. In conclusion, PGE2 inhibits the responses of bone-marrow myeloid progenitors to GM-CSF and of eosinophil precursors to IL-5, in naïve or ovalbumin sensitized and challenged mice. These effects are duplicated by cyclic AMP-elevating agents. In the BALB/c strain, the resistance of progenitors, but not precursors, to PGE2 inhibition, indicates these developmental stages are separate targets for PGE2 modulation. |

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.
