| Abstract | Our previous study showed the local production of γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) in hypertrophic-zone chondrocytes of the rat tibial growth plate, an important long bone growth site. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of GABA receptors in growth plate chondrocytes by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Chondrocytes expressed both GABA$_{A}$ and GABA$_{B}$ receptor subunit mRNAs as well as the corresponding proteins necessary for the assembly of functional receptors. The GABA$_{A}$ receptor subunits detected included α1–α4, α6, β1–β3, and δ, and both R1 and R2 subunits of GABA$_{B}$ receptors were detected. All receptor subunits were expressed in chondrocytes of the proliferative and hypertrophic zones. These results suggest that GABA is an autocrine/paracrine factor that regulates the physiological state of the growth plate. Subsequent studies with the mouse chondrogenic cell line ATDC5 showed the presence of mRNAs and the corresponding proteins for GABA$_{A}$ receptor α1, β2, and β3 subunits and GABA$_{B}$ receptor R1 and R2 subunits. GABA, muscimol (a GABA$_{A}$ receptor agonist), and baclofen (a GABA$_{B}$ receptor agonist) increased 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation into ATDC5 cells. The effect of muscimol was blocked by bicuculline (a GABA$_{A}$ receptor antagonist), and the effect of baclofen was blocked by CGP 35348 (a GABA$_{B}$ receptor antagonist). These results suggest that GABA contributes to the ATDC5 cell proliferation via GABA$_{A}$ and GABA$_{B}$ receptors and these mechanisms may be involved in cartilaginous cell growth. |

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.
