| Abstract | Maneb and paraquat are known to induce Parkinson’s disease (PD) phenotype, however, caffeine offers neuroprotection. Nitric oxide (NO) acts an important mediator in PD phenotype and tyrosine kinase (TK), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) are known to regulate its production. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of caffeine in the regulation of NO production and microglial activation and their subsequent contribution in dopaminergic neuroprotection. The animals were treated with caffeine and/or maneb and paraquat along with controls. In a few sets of experiments, the animals were also treated with aminoguanidine, an inhibitor of inducible NO synthase, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-kB, genistein, an inhibitor of TK or SB202190, an inhibitor of p38 MAPK. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactivity and anti-integrin αM (OX-42) staining were performed to assess the number of dopaminergic neurons and activation of microglia, respectively. NO was measured in terms of nitrite, however, the expressions of p38 MAPK, interleukin (IL)-1β, NF-kB and TK were checked by western blot analyses. Maneb and paraquat induced the number of degenerating dopaminergic neurons, microglial cells, nitrite content, expressions of IL-1β, p38 MAPK, NF-kB and TK and caffeine co-treatment reduced the level of such alterations. Reductions were more pronounced in the animals co-treated with aminoguanidine, PDTC, genistein or SB202190. The results obtained thus demonstrate that caffeine down-regulates NO production, neuroinflammation and microglial activation, which possibly contribute to neuroprotection. |

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.
