| Abstract | Inflammation following a knee injury is one of the factors associated with initiation of cartilage degeneration leading to osteoarthritis (OA). The hypothesis tested was that inflammation results in elevated expression of proteinases implicated in OA.Mature female rabbits received a single carrageenan injection to the right hind knee and the left knee served as the control. Five animals were killed at time points of 1, 2 and 4 weeks. The synovium and cartilage from both knees were collected and analysed for specific mRNA levels.Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 mRNA levels peaked at 2 weeks and returned to normal levels in tissues by 4 weeks post-carrageenan treatment. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, MMP-1, MMP-3 and cathepsin K followed the trend set by the inflammatory cytokines. Both synovium and cartilage tissues exhibited similar patterns of molecular expression, with cartilage from the tibial plateau responding more strongly than the femoral condyles.The acute inflammatory milieu controls the transient expression of many degradative proteinases in the knee. However, a single acute exposure to inflammation in the rabbit knee is insufficient to create a chronic inflammatory environment and other complementary factors, such as persistent mechanical instability and/or injury, may contribute to the establishment of OA. |

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.
