| Abstract | Cell therapy treatment of post-myocardial infarction patients aims to regenerate tissue to improve function and prevent scarring. Although scaffold-free cell sheets offer an attractive solution, the monolayers are limited currently in their integrity as the individual layers do not cyclically stretch and cannot match the mechanical force transduction of the myocardium. In this study, we have explored stretching HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes and embryonic stem cells derived into cardiomyocytes cultured in monolayers, and on temperature-responsive substrates to increase contractile protein and extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion for the purpose of reinforcing the baseline proteins and ECM. Sheets of HL-1 cells were stretched at 3 conditions (5, 10, 19%) along with static, unstretched controls at 1 Hz for 24 h. Embryonic stem cells derived into cardiomyocytes were stretched at 0 and 10% at 1 Hz for 24 h. Contractile proteins α- and β-myosin heavy chain (αMHC and βMHC) and sarcomeric α-actinin exhibited a significant increase in protein expression at 10% elongation strain. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and connexin43 (Cx43) mRNA expression increased between static and conditioned cells; however, mRNA and protein expression at 19% strain increased less than cyclically strained cells at 5% strain. ECM secretion was not found to increase with conditioning. Effective engineering of cell monolayers with improved mechanical integrity may require an optimal strain condition to achieve maximum expression. |

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.
