| Abstract | The effect of metalloendoprotease inhibitors on the biochemical differentiation of the rat skeletal muscle line, L6, was investigated. Confluent unfused L6 cells exposed briefly to 1,10-phenanthroline, a chelator of divalent metal cations, or continuously to dipeptide amide metalloendoprotease substrates that are blocked at the NH2-terminals, N-carbobenzyloxyserylleucyl amide and N-carbobenzyloxyglycylleucyl amide, did not fuse or express creatine kinase, myosin heavy chain, or alpha-actin. These effects were reversible and dose-dependent. Exposure to N-carbobenzyloxylglycylglycyl amide, which is not a metalloendoprotease inhibitor, had no effect. As the differentiation in a culture progressed, 1,10-phenanthroline became less effective in blocking the accumulation of creatine kinase and myosin heavy chain. Exposure of partially fused cultures to N-carbobenzyloxyserylleucyl amide prevented any further accumulation of muscle-specific proteins. In confluent cultures where cell division was blocked before the onset of differentiation, N-carbobenzyloxyserylleucyl amide still prevented fusion and the induction of creatine kinase. This indicates that these inhibitors do not act by interfering with the cell cycle. Experiments that measured DNA synthesis rates, plating efficiencies, and the effects of sequential dipeptide and dimethyl sulfoxide treatments indicate that L6 myoblasts do not irreversibly withdraw from the cell cycle when exposed to N-carbobenzyloxyserylleucyl amide. These results are consistent with the role of a metalloendoprotease in initiating the terminal differentiation of cultured muscle cells. |

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.
