| Abstract | Anti-inflammatory effects of procyanidin B1 have been documented; however, the molecular mechanisms that are involved have not been fully elucidated. Molecular docking models were applied to evaluate the binding capacity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and procyanidin B1 with the toll-like receptor (TLR)4/myeloid differentiation factor (MD)-2 complex. LPS-induced production of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in a human monocyte cell line (THP1) was measured by ELISA. mRNA expression of MD-2, TLR4, TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-6, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB was measured by real-time PCR with or without an 18-h co-treatment with procyanidin B1. In addition, protein expression of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF-κB was determined by Western blotting. Structural modeling studies identified Tyr296 in TLR4 and Ser120 in MD-2 as critical sites for hydrogen bonding with procyanidin B1, similar to the sites occupied by LPS. The production of TNF-α was significantly decreased by procyanidin B1 in LPS-treated THP1 cells (p < 0.05). Procyanidin B1 also significantly suppressed levels of phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κB protein, as well as mRNA levels of MD-2, TRAF-6, and NF-κB (all p < 0.05). Procyanidin B1 can compete with LPS for binding to the TLR4–MD-2 heterodimer and suppress downstream activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. |

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.
