| Abstract | Id is one of the helix-loop-helix family of proteins that regulate differentiation in several types of cells, including myoblasts. We found that Id mRNA was constitutively expressed in ROS17/2.8 rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma cells and that the level of Id message in these cells was suppressed by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D), a calcitropic hormone known to enhance expression of differentiation-related phenotypes in these cells. The vitamin D suppression was dose-dependent, starting at 10(-11) M and saturating at 10(-8) M. This vitamin D effect was seen within 6 hr after the initiation of the treatment and lasted at least 48 hr. Cycloheximide did not block the vitamin D suppression of Id message level. Vitamin D reduced the rate of Id gene transcription by approximately 80% as estimated by nuclear run-on assay. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assay indicated the specific binding of nuclear factors from ROS17/2.8 cells to an E-box DNA sequence, and the binding signal was enhanced in nuclear extracts of the cells treated with vitamin D. The suppressive effect was specific to vitamin D, since another calcitropic hormone, the synthetic compound dexamethasone, did not suppress Id message expression. These observations indicate the presence of helix-loop-helix proteins in osteoblastic cells and indicate that vitamin D, a potent regulator of differentiation in several types of cells, controls the expression of the helix-loop-helix molecules. |

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.
