| Abstract | We compared the expression of the ABCB1 gene in healthy male and female Thai subjects; this gene encodes the P-glycoprotein transporter in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We also identified the most suitable housekeeping genes for normalization of ABCB1 expression levels in PBMCs. PBMCs from 30 females and 26 males were isolated. Total RNA was extracted, followed by reverse transcription (100 ng total RNA per sample). The internal normalization controls were actin-beta, beta-2M and GAPDH. Real-time quantitative PCR was then performed to determine the expression levels of the ABCB1 gene. The expression levels were found to be 1.5- to 2.5-fold higher in males, depending on the endogenous control used for normalization. Actin-beta was the most stable control gene and could be used as a single endogenous control for normalization of ABCB1 expression levels in PBMCs. However, more than one endogenous control genes are recommended for normalization of gene expression. We conclude that the expression levels of ABCB1 in PBMCs is influenced by gender; this helps, in part, explain the gender difference in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs that are P-glycoprotein substrates. ABCB1 gene expression profiles need to be carefully interpreted with regards to the endogenous control genes that are involved. |

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.
