| Abstract | Inflammatory processes driven by cytokines play a crucial role during osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Dendritic polyglycerol sulfate (dPGS) was analyzed in vitro for its effects on articular chondrocytes, cartilage and cytokines involved in the OA process.The metabolic activity of cultured human articular chondrocytes stimulated for 24 h with dPGS (10−3–10−6 mol/L) was monitored using AlamarBlue® assay. The dPGS uptake was studied using fluorescence labeled nanoparticles. Further, chondrocytes were either treated with 10−6 M dPGS, TNFα (10 ng/mL) alone or with a combination of both. The influence on extracellular matrix components, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1 and the anaphylatoxin receptor C3aR was analyzed by RTD-PCR, flow cytometry and ELISA.Even at higher dosages (10−3 mol/L), dPGS did not influence chondrocytes viability. Uptake of dPGS was successfully monitored in human articular chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, penetration into cartilage chips was up to ~50 µm. Cellular treatment with dPGS had no effect on synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-6, but expression of the anti-inflammatory IL-10 was upregulated. Cotreatment with TNFα and dPGS reduced the TNFα level, while IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 expression did not change. Collagen type II gene expression was significantly reduced after preincubating cells with dPGS, but remained unaffected at the protein level.Results indicate that dPGS could play a role in regulation of cytokines associated with the inflammatory aspect of OA progression. |

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.
