| Abstract | Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with microvascular complications and a higher incidence of preeclampsia. The regulatory signaling pathways involving nitric oxide, cGMP, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) have been shown to be down-regulated under diabetic conditions and contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular complications in diabetes. The present study was undertaken to investigate how high glucose concentrations regulate PKG expression in cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs). Human CTBs (Sw. 71) were treated with 45, 135, 225, 495, or 945 mg/dL glucose for 48 h. Some cells were pretreated with a p38 inhibitor (10 μM SB203580) or 10 μM rosiglitazone. After treatment, the cell lysates were subjected to measure the expression of protein kinase G1α (PKG1α), protein kinase G1β (PKG1β), soluble guanylate cyclase 1α (sGC1α), and soluble guanylate cyclase 1 β (sGC1β) by Western blot. Statistical comparisons were performed using analysis of variance with Duncan’s post hoc test. The expressions of PKG1α, PKG1β, sGC1α, and sGC1β were significantly down-regulated (p < 0.05) in CTBs treated with >135 mg/dL glucose compared to basal (45 mg/dL). The hyperglycemia-induced down-regulation of cGMP and cGMP-dependent PKG were attenuated by the SB203580 or rosiglitazone pretreatment. Exposure of CTBs to excess glucose down-regulates cGMP and cGMP-dependent PKG, contributing to the development of vascular complications in diabetic mothers during pregnancy. The attenuation of hyperglycemia-induced down-regulation of PKG proteins by SB203580 or rosiglitazone pretreatment further suggests the involvement of stress signaling mechanisms in this process. |

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.
