| Abstract | β$_{2}$-glycoprotein I (β$_{2}$-GPI) is a plasma glycoprotein with diverse functions, but the impact and molecular effects of β$_{2}$-GPI on vascular biology are as yet unclear. Based on the limited information available on the contribution of β$_{2}$-GPI to endothelial cells, we investigated the effect of β$_{2}$-GPI on cell growth and migration in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). The regulation of β$_{2}$-GPI as part of intracellular signaling in HAECs was also examined. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a pro-angiogenic factor that may regulate endothelial functions. We found that β$_{2}$-GPI dose-dependently inhibited VEGF-induced endothelial cell growth using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-dipenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and cell counts. Using wound healing and Boyden chamber assays, β$_{2}$-GPI remarkably reduced VEGF-increased cell migration at the physiological concentration. Furthermore, β$_{2}$-GPI suppressed VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and Akt. These results suggest that β$_{2}$-GPI plays an essential role in the down-regulation of VEGF-induced endothelial responses and may be a useful component for anti-angiogenic therapy. |

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.
