| Abstract | Endocardial endothelial cells (EECs), when compared with endothelial cells of arteries and veins, possess higher resistance to apoptosis-inducing anticancer agents. The mechanism of this resistance property is unknown. We have investigated the molecular mechanism, which contributes to increased cell survival capacity in EECs. We explored whether the resistance to apoptosis is associated with the cellular expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters such as P-glycoprotein, MRP-1, and ABCG2. We used primary and immortalized porcine endocardial endothelial cells (PEECs and hTERT PEECs) and compared the results with that in porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAECs), left atrioventricular valve endothelial cells (PVECs), and human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (EA.hy926). FACS and immunoblot analysis revealed a significantly higher expression of ABCG2 in PEECs and hTERT PEECs compared to PAECs, PVECs, and EA.hy926. Using apoptosis-inducing anticancer agents such as doxorubicin and camptothecin, through chromatin condensation assay and immunoblot analysis, we demonstrated a higher resistance to apoptosis in EECs compared to PAECs, PVECs, and EA.hy926. Interestingly, resistance in EECs reversed in presence of ABCG2 specific inhibitor, fumitremorgin C. Our observations suggest that an inherently high expression of ABCG2 in EECs protects them against apoptosis in presence of anticancer agents. |

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.
