| Abstract | PURPOSE: We investigated apoptosis induced by hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) in human Tenon's capsule using fibroblasts cultured from human Tenon's capsule (HTFs), and the mechanism of induction. METHODS: HTFs were treated with 0-4 mg/L HCPT for 24 hours. Cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and apoptotic cells were analyzed by Hoechst 33258 stain. The mRNA and protein levels of caspase-3, -8, and -9 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: By MTT assay, HCPT induced apoptosis in HTFs in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Hoechst 33258 staining and transmission electron microscopy showed typical apoptotic morphology, such as condensed chromatin, irregular nuclei, and apoptotic body formation. The mRNA and protein levels of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were upregulated, while caspase-8 was unchanged. Z-VAD-FMK, a caspase inhibitor, inhibited the apoptosis of fibroblasts induced by HCPT. The expression levels of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were down-regulated after Z-VAD-FMK treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Caspase-3 and caspase-9 are important elements in regulating HCPT-induced apoptosis in HTFs. |

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.
