| Abstract | Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligatory intracellular bacterium, is the causative agent of scrub typhus. The disease is histopathologically characterized by inflammatory manifestations, indicating that orientiae induce mechanisms that amplify the inflammatory response. Here we investigated the transcriptional response of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene and the host cell responses of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) to O. tsutsugamushi. Induction of the TNF-α gene was not blocked by a eukaryotic protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, suggesting that de novo synthesis of host cell protein is not required for this transcriptional response. The induction of TNF-α mRNA by O. tsutsugamushi was not blocked by the inhibitors of NF-κB activation. Inactivation of Orientia by heat abolished both MAPK activation and TNF-α production, whereas treatment of host cells with cytochalasin D impaired neither NF-κB and MAPK activation nor TNF-α production. In conclusion, our data suggest that O. tsutsugamushi-stimulated TNF-α production and MAPK activation requires cellular attachment by viable orientiae but not bacterial internalization into the host cells. |

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.
