| Abstract | The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for murine fibroblasts. PDGF-stimulated cells express a set of immediate-early-response genes but require additional (progression) factors in serum to progress through the cell cycle. Serum-deprived cells are reversibly arrested in G0 phase and fail to fully traverse the G1 phase of the cell cycle when stimulated by PDGF alone. We now report that serum-deprived normal rat kidney fibroblast (NRK) cells stimulated by either PDGF AA or PDGF BB homodimers undergo apoptotic cell death. Furthermore, we show that epidermal growth factor also induces apoptotic cell death in serum-deprived NRK cells, epidermal growth factor enhances the rate of apoptosis in PDGF-treated cells, and a progression factor (insulin) but not endogenously expressed Bc1-2 fully protects NRK cells from PDGF-stimulated apoptosis. The results indicate that PDGF induces apoptosis in growth-arrested NRK cells and that the inability of NRK cells to transit the G1/S checkpoint is the critical determinant in establishing the genetic program(s) to direct the PDGF signal to apoptosis. The results suggest that polypeptide growth factors in vivo may signal cell fate positively or negatively in settings that limit the potential of cells to completely transit the cell cycle. |

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.
