| Abstract | Because p38 plays a critical role in inflammation, it has been an attractive target for the development of anti-inflammation therapeutics. However, p38 inhibitors showed side effects, including severe liver toxicity, that often prevailed over the benefits in clinical studies, and the mechanism of toxicity is not clear. In this study, we demonstrate that p38 regulates the inflammatory responses in acute liver inflammation in a tissue-specific manner, and liver toxicity by p38 inhibitors may be a result of the inhibition of protective activity of p38 in the liver. Genetic ablation of p38 in T and NKT cells protected mice from liver injury in Con A-induced liver inflammation, whereas liver-specific deletion of p38 aggravated liver pathology. We found that p38 deficiency in the liver increased the expression of chemokines to recruit more inflammatory cells, indicating that p38 in the liver plays a protective anti-inflammatory role during acute liver inflammation. Therefore, our results suggest that p38 regulates the inflammatory responses in a tissue-specific manner, and that the tissue-specific p38 targeting strategies can be used for the development of an effective anti-inflammation treatment with an improved side-effect profile. |

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.
