| Abstract | The metals, zinc (Zn$^{2+}$) and copper (Cu$^{2+}$) from inhaled particulate matter may reach the systemic circulation and the cardiac tissue. In the present study, the potential of Zn$^{2+}$ and Cu$^{2+}$ to induce interleukin (IL)-6 responses in cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), in mono- and cocultures, was examined. Both metals induced IL-6 release in a concentration (20–200 μM)-dependent manner. Zn$^{2+}$ appeared more potent than Cu$^{2+}$ in both mono- and cocultures of CMs and CFs. In the cocultures, the basal- and metal-induced IL-6 responses were synergistically increased compared to the monocultures. Exposure to Zn$^{2+}$ increased phosphorylation of the MAP-kinases, ERK1/2 and p38, in monocultures of CMs and CFs. Cu$^{2+}$ induced an increased phosphorylation of p38 in both cell types and of ERK1/2 in CFs, but at higher concentrations than Zn$^{2+}$. Treatment with a p38 inhibitor (SB202190) reduced the IL-6 responses to Zn$^{2+}$ and Cu$^{2+}$ in both cell types. Pretreatment with PD98059 to inhibit ERK1/2 was without significant effect; however, insignificant reductions was observed in the in the CFs. In conclusion, Zn$^{2+}$ and Cu$^{2+}$ increased IL-6 release and MAP-kinase activation in primary cardiac cells, processes known to be involved in cardiac inflammation and hypertrophy. |

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.
