| Abstract | Calcium levels in the lens rise with increasing age and increased intracellular calcium accumulation is known to be a risk factor for cataract formation. Calbindin-D28K (CALB1) is an intracellular calcium buffer. It is not clear whether CALB1 levels change in response to the Ca2+ accumulation in the lens that occurs with age. The present study investigated the distribution of CALB1 in the lenses of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and whether this changed with age. Lenses were isolated from SD rats at 1, 6, 12 and 18 months of age. CALB1 distribution was examined using immunohistochemistry. Lens epithelial cells were counted in median sagittal plane slices from the hematoxylin and eosin-stained lens and quantified using western blot analysis. Calb1 gene expression was examined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. CALB1 was distributed in the epithelial and fiber cells of the lens. CALB1 levels declined significantly with increasing age, whilst there was no significant accompanying decrease in the number of lens cells. A similar reduction was noted in CALB1 mRNA levels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that CALB1 expression and CALB1 protein levels in SD rat lens decrease with age. This reduction does not reflect a reduction in lens cell numbers but a genuine reduction in gene expression within these cells. Thus, CALB1 may be important in changes occurring in the lens in older age, in particular in the development of cataracts. |

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.
