| Abstract | Persistent protein synthesis inhibition (PSI) is a robust predictor of eventual neuronal death following cerebral ischemia. We thus tested the hypothesis that persistent PSI inhibition and neuronal death are causally linked. Neuronal viability strongly correlated with both protein synthesis and levels of eukaryotic (translation) initiation factor 4G1 (eIF4G1). We determined that in vitro ischemia activated calpain, which degraded eIF4G1. Overexpression of the calpain inhibitor calpastatin or eIF4G1 resulted in increased protein synthesis and increased neuronal viability compared with controls. The neuroprotective effect of eIF4G1 overexpression was due to restoration of cap-dependent protein synthesis, as well as protein synthesis-independent mechanisms, as inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide did not completely prevent the protective effect of eIF4G1 overexpression. In contrast, shRNA-mediated silencing of eIF4G1 exacerbated ischemia-induced neuronal injury, suggesting eIF4G1 is necessary for maintenance of neuronal viability. Finally, calpain inhibition following global ischemia in vivo blocked decreases in eIF4G1, facilitated protein synthesis, and increased neuronal viability in ischemia-vulnerable hippocampal CA1 neurons. Collectively, these data demonstrate that calpain-mediated degradation of a translation initiation factor, eIF4G1, is a cause of both persistent PSI and neuronal death. |

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.
