| Abstract | Prion diseases are conformational diseases, many factors are involved in altering the conformation of prion, such as RNA, DNA, pH, and copper etc. However the neurotoxic mechanism of prion diseases is not clear yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the nucleoprotein complex of RNA and recombinant ovine prion protein (OvPrP$^{C}$) on the cultured rat cortical neurons in vitro. Our previous study revealed that the nucleoprotein complex (OvPrP$^{C}$-RNA) is characterized with high β sheet conformation and proteinase K resistance. Here we found that the OvPrP$^{C}$-RNA induced marked neuronal cell death by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazole -2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl –tetrazolium bromide) and TUNEL (TdT mediated biotin-dUTP nicked-end labeling) assay, and the neurotoxic effects were confirmed by testing the content of Bcl-2 Associated X protein (Bax) in the immunoprecipitation assay and Western blot assay. Compared to the control group, there is no significant difference of active Bax or total Bax after RNA alone treatment or OvPrP$^{C}$ alone treatment, but the OvPrP$^{C}$-RNA induced significant increases of active Bax level, while the contents of total Bax had no obvious changes after OvPrP$^{C}$-RNA treatment. The results suggested that OvPrP$^{C}$-RNA is neurotoxic in vitro, which added further evidence to the current understanding of mechanism of cellular injury by RNA molecules for transformation of the PrP$^{C}$ to PrP$^{Sc}$. |

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.
