| Abstract | Consumption of flavanol-rich foods is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, which was linked to improvements in endothelial function. The specific flavanols involved in these beneficial effects and underlying molecular mechanisms is still largely unknown. We have shown that exposure of TNF -activated endothelial cells to flavanol metabolites (4'-O-methyl(-)-epicatechin, 4'-O-methyl(-)-epicatechin-7-ß-D-glucuronide and (-)-epicatechin-4'-sulfate) at physiologically-relevant concentrations decreased the adhesion of monocytes to endothelial monolayers. Nutrigenomic analysis showed that these metabolites modulate expression of genes involved in the regulation of cell adhesion/junctions, focal adhesion or cytoskeleton remodeling, and this by affecting phosphorylation levels of p65 and p38 of NF-κB and MAPK cell-signaling pathways respectively. Together with cell signaling pathways, microRNAs (short, endogenous, noncoding, single-stranded RNAs) represent another class of molecular post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Our nutrigenomic studies have shown that exposure of endothelial cells to the same metabolites can also modulate the expression of miRNAs. Among differentially-expressed miRNAs are those involved in the regulation of inflammation or cell adhesion, such as miR-221 and miR-181. Bioinformatic analysis shows that the potential target genes these miRNAs are also involved in regulation of cell adhesion, cytoskeleton, focal adhesion, transendothelial migration. These miRNAs could exert post-transcriptional regulation by inhibiting protein synthesis, as BIRC2, or by inducing mRNA degradation, as WASP1.These data suggest that miRNAs are important molecular targets of flavanol metabolites involved in the regulation of expression of genes controlling adhesion and transendothelial migration processes. This original result contributes to increase the knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of flavanols on vascular endothelium. |

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.
