| Abstract | Platelets release specific growth factors that stimulate division of aortic endothelial cells. Acidification or heating to 56 degrees C of platelet extracts is required to detect these factors. Nonheated platelet extracts inhibit endothelial growth. To determine if this inhibitory effect is due to a discrete chemical substance, a crude extract obtained by freezing and thawing human platelets was incubated with an endothelial cell mitogen and found to inhibit the endothelial cell incorporation of [3H]thymidine by greater than 95%. The inhibitor was partially purified by ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The partially purified material inhibited endothelial cell division as well as DNA synthesis. Inhibition caused by the partially purified material was concentration dependent, reversible, and not due to cytotoxicity. Further purification by heparin-Sepharose chromatography resulted in removal of greater than 95% of the contaminating substances without a loss of inhibitory activity. Physical characterization revealed that heparin-Sepharose-purified factor was heat labile, had a molecular size estimated at 35-40 kDa, and was stable between pH 4.5 and 9.0. Treatment with proteolytic enzymes destroyed all biologic activity, suggesting a peptide composition. These data support the conclusion that platelets contain a potent inhibitor of endothelial replication and growth. Since platelet deposition and release occur after endothelial denudation, release of this platelet-derived growth inhibitor may be an important regulator of reendothelialization that occurs after vessel injury. |

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.
