| Abstract | Doppel (Dpl) is a recently identified prion (PrP)-like protein due to the structural and biochemical similarities, however, its natural function and pathogenic role in neurodegenerative diseases remains unclear. To investigate the possible pathogenic pathway of Dpl and its structural analog for cell apoptosis, mammalian expressing recombinant plasmids containing human PRND gene encoding the full-length Dpl and a truncated human PRNP gene deleting the sequences encoding the peptide from aa 32 to 121 (PrPΔ32-121) were generated. MTT assays showed the cell viabilities of the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y receiving Dpl and PrPΔ32-121 expressing plasmids were remarkably lower. Obvious apoptosis phenomena were observed to be associated with the cells transient expressing Dpl and PrPΔ32-121, including reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ψm), decreased pro-caspase-3 quantity, more numbers of annexin V- and annexin V/PI-double-stained cells and depressed Bcl-2 level. Moreover, we also found that the Dpl- and PrPΔ32-121-induced cytotoxicities and relevant apoptotic events in SH-SY5Y cells could be fully antagonized by co-expression of the human full-length PrP. These data highly indicate that cytotoxicity induced by the expression of Dpl and truncated PrP in neural derived cells are closely related with the apoptosis process, probably triggering the mitochondrial pathway. It also implies that the cell-benefit activity of the full-length PrP may result from its anti-apoptosis capacity. |

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.
