| Abstract | Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expression in the lung is induced in pathological conditions such as asthma and pneumonia; however, the exact impact of COX-2 gene expression in the airway in regulating inflammatory and immunological response in the lung is not understood. To define a physiological role of inducible COX-2 in airway epithelial cells, we developed a novel line of transgenic mice, referred to as CycloOxygenase-2 TransActivated (COTA) mice, that overexpress a COX-2 transgene in the distribution of the CC-10 promoter in response to doxycycline. In response to doxycycline treatment, COX-2 expression was increased in airway epithelium of COTA mice and whole lung tissue contained a three- to sevenfold increase in prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) and 6-Keto prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) compared to wild-type and untreated COTA mice. Interestingly, primary mouse tracheal epithelial cells from COTA mice produced only PGE(2) by doxycycline-induced COX-2 activation, providing an indication of cellular specificity in terms of mediator production. In the ovalbumin model, in which doxycycline was given at the sensitization stage, there was an increase in interleukin (IL)-4 level in lung tissue from COTA mice compared to untreated COTA and wild-type mice. In addition, COTA mice that were treated with doxycycline had impaired clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia compared to wild-type mice. COX-2 gene expression in airway epithelial cells has an important role in determining immunological response to infectious and allergic 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.
