| Abstract | Incubation of DDT1 MF-2 hamster vas deferens cells with glucocorticoids results in a marked increase in beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) number. The increase in receptor number was visualized by indirect immunofluorescence with antiserum specific for the beta AR and was verified by radioligand binding. The steady-state levels of beta AR mRNA were quantified in untreated (control) and glucocorticoid-treated cells by DNA-excess solution hybridization using a single-stranded probe corresponding to nucleotides +12 to 182 of the hamster beta 2AR cDNA coding region. The steady-state level increased from 0.37 pg of beta AR mRNA per microgram of total cellular RNA in untreated cells to 1.05 pg of beta AR mRNA per microgram of RNA in cells treated with dexamethasone (500 nM) for 2-4 hr. After this sharp transient peak, the steady-state level of receptor mRNA declined by 6 hr to a level approximately twice that of the untreated cells. Half-maximal effects were achieved at 20-40 nM dexamethasone. Testosterone (500 nM) and 17 beta-estradiol (500 nM), in contrast, did not alter the steady-state levels of beta AR mRNA. Actinomycin D, a potent inhibitor of transcription, abolished the dexamethasone-induced increase in beta AR mRNA, suggesting that the permissive hormone effect was exerted on gene transcription. The half-life of the receptor mRNA measured in the presence of actinomycin D was found to be 12 hr in both the untreated and the dexamethasone-treated cells. These studies provide a molecular explanation for the well-known regulation of GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-linked cell-surface receptors by permissive hormones. |

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.
