| Abstract | An intimate interplay exists between the bone and the immune system, which has been recently termed osteoimmunology. The activity of immune cells affects the intrinsic balance of bone mineralization and resorption carried out by the opposing actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The aim of this study was to determine the possible interaction between inflammatory-induced conditions and matrix metalloproteinases-2,-9 (MMP-2,-9) synthesis and secretion by bone marrow-derived osteoprogenitor cells during advanced stages of osteogenesis. Rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured in the presence of osteogenic supplements in order to direct the cells towards the osteogenic differentiation lineage. At the late stages of osteogenesis, assessed by histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, cultures were exposed to pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1alpha (IL-1α). Biochemical, histochemical and molecular biology techniques were used to discern the influence of pro-inflammatory cytokines on MMP-2,-9 synthesis and secretion. Results indicated that MMP-9 synthesis and secretion were significantly induced after exposure to the cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1α) treatment, while MMP-2 levels remained unchanged. These results indicate that in response to inflammatory processes, osteoblasts, in addition to osteoclasts, can also be involved and contribute to the process of active bone resorption by secretion and activation of MMPs. |

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.
