| Abstract | Neutrophils undergo spontaneous apoptosis, but their survival can be extended during inflammatory responses. alpha(M)beta(2) is reported either to delay or accelerate neutrophil apoptosis, but the mechanisms by which this integrin can support such diametrically opposed responses are poorly understood. The abilities of closely related alpha(M)beta(2) ligands, plasminogen and angiostatin, derived from plasminogen, as well as fibrinogen and its two derivative alpha(M)beta(2) recognition peptides, P1 and P2-C, differed markedly in their effects on neutrophil apoptosis. Plasminogen, fibrinogen, and P2-C suppressed apoptosis via activation of Akt and ERK1/2 kinases, while angiostatin and P1 failed to activate these prosurvival pathways and did not prevent neutrophil apoptosis. Using cells transfected with alpha(M)beta(2) or its individual alpha(M) or beta(2) subunits, and purified receptors and its constituent chains, we show that engagement of both subunits with prosurvival ligands is essential for induction of the prosurvival response. Hence, engagement of a single integrin by closely related ligands can induce distinct signaling pathways, which can elicit distinct cellular responses. |

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.
