| Abstract | Acute inflammation is important for tissue repair; however, chronic inflammation contributes to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and occurs when glial cells undergo prolonged activation. In the brain, stress or damage causes the release of nucleotides and activation of the G$_{q}$ protein-coupled P2Y$_{2}$ nucleotide receptor subtype (P2Y$_{2}$R) leading to pro-inflammatory responses that can protect neurons from injury, including the stimulation and recruitment of glial cells. P2Y$_{2}$R activation induces the phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a response dependent upon the presence of a SH3 binding domain in the intracellular C terminus of the P2Y$_{2}$R that promotes Src binding and transactivation of EGFR, a pathway that regulates the proliferation of cortical astrocytes. Other studies indicate that P2Y$_{2}$R activation increases astrocyte migration. P2Y$_{2}$R activation by UTP increases the expression in astrocytes of α$_{V}$β$_{3/5}$ integrins that bind directly to the P2Y$_{2}$R via an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif in the first extracellular loop of the P2Y$_{2}$R, an interaction required for G$_{o}$ and G$_{12}$ protein-dependent astrocyte migration. In rat primary cortical neurons (rPCNs) P2Y$_{2}$R expression is increased by stimulation with interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose levels are elevated in AD, in part due to nucleotide-stimulated release from glial cells. Other results indicate that oligomeric β-amyloid peptide (Aβ$_{1-42}$), a contributor to AD, increases nucleotide release from astrocytes, which would serve to activate upregulated P2Y$_{2}$Rs in neurons. Data with rPCNs suggest that P2Y$_{2}$R upregulation by IL-1β and subsequent activation by UTP are neuroprotective, since this increases the non-amyloidogenic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein. Furthermore, activation of IL-1β-upregulated P2Y$_{2}$Rs in rPCNs increases the phosphorylation of cofilin, a cytoskeletal protein that stabilizes neurite outgrowths. Thus, activation of pro-inflammatory P2Y$_{2}$Rs in glial cells can promote neuroprotective responses, suggesting that P2Y$_{2}$Rs represent a novel pharmacological target in neurodegenerative and other pro-inflammatory diseases. |

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.
