| Abstract | The mdr1-type P-glycoproteins (P-gps) confer multidrug resistance to cancer cells by active extrusion of a wide range of drugs from the cell. To study their physiological roles, we have generated mice genetically deficient in the mdr1b gene [mdr1b (−/−) mice] and in both the mdr1a and mdr1b genes [mdr1a/1b (−/−) mice]. In spite of the host of functions speculatively attributed to the mdr1-type P-gps, we found no physiological abnormalities in either strain. Viability, fertility, and a range of histological, hematological, serum–chemical, and immunological parameters were not abnormal in mdr1a/1b (−/−) mice. The high level of mdr1b P-gp normally present in the pregnant uterus did not protect fetuses from a drug (digoxin) in the bloodstream of the mother, although the protein did reduce drug accumulation in the adrenal gland and ovaries. Pharmacologically, mdr1a/1b (−/−) mice behaved similarly to the previously analyzed mdr1a (−/−) mice, displaying, for instance, increased brain penetration and reduced elimination of digoxin. However, both mdr1a and mdr1b P-gps contributed to the extrusion of rhodamine from hematopoietic progenitor cells, suggesting a potential role for the endogenous mdr1-type P-gps in protection of bone marrow against cytotoxic anticancer drugs. This, and the normal viability of mdr1a/1b (−/−) mice, has implications for the use of P-gp-blocking agents in cancer and other chemotherapy. mdr1a/1b (−/−) mice should provide a useful model system to further test the pharmacological roles of the drug-transporting P-gps and to analyze the specificity and effectivity of P-gp-blocking drugs. |

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.
