| Abstract | To construct a recombinant adenovirus vector for expressing the IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP)/IL-4 fusion gene and confirm the anti-inflammatory effect of this gene.The recombinant virus expressing IL-18BP/IL-4 fusion protein (AD-IL-18BP/IL-4) was constructed. AD-IL-18BP/IL-4 was used to infect synovial fibroblasts (SF). ELISA and Western blot analysis were used to determine the expressions of the proteins IL-4 and IL-18BP. To investigate the protective effects of this vector on rheumatoid arthritis, SF were infected with AD-IL-18BP/IL-4 and stimulated by LPS (1 μg/ml) 4 h later. The expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18 in the culture supernatant were detected by ELISA and production of PGE2 and NO was estimated. The protein expression of COX-2, iNOS, and NF-κB p50 in treated SF was analyzed by Western blot.AD-IL-18BP/IL-4 can effectively express the IL-18BP/IL-4 fusion protein. The expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18 were significantly inhibited in LPS-stimulated SF after treatment with AD-IL-18BP/IL-4. The production of PGE2 and NO was significantly decreased. Moreover, NF-κB p50, COX-2, and iNOS levels in SF were markedly suppressed by AD-IL-18BP/IL-4.AD-IL-18BP/IL-4 can suppress the production and expression of inflammatory cytokines such as COX-2, iNOS, and NF-κB in LPS-stimulated SF. |

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.
