| Abstract | Exposure of cells to elevated temperatures and other environmental stresses results in the expression of specific genes encoding the so-called heat shock proteins (HSPs). Since exogenous H2O2 induces in human monocytes the synthesis of HSPs, and previous induction of HSPs protects these cells from oxidative injury, we investigated whether HSP synthesis was also induced during generation of reactive oxygen species by the phagocyte itself during phagocytosis. As a model system, we analyzed the effects of erythrophagocytosis on protein synthesis by the human premonocytic line U937, in which phagocytosis is induced during differentiation with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Exposure to whole erythrocytes, but not to erythrocyte ghosts, induced in the phagocytic cells only the synthesis of the 70- and 83- to 90-kDa HSPs and a 32-kDa oxidation-related stress protein identical by partial peptide mapping to heme oxygenase. The radioprotective aminothiol N-(2'-mercaptoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (WR-1065), which can substitute for glutathione as hydrogen donor, prevented this induction. These results suggest that oxygen free radicals generated in the presence of hemoglobin-derived iron and consecutive glutathione depletion are involved in induction of stress protein synthesis during erythrophagocytosis. HSPs synthesized during phagocytosis may play a role in the phagocyte's defense mechanisms and in protective immunity. |

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.
