| Abstract | We investigated the role of NO on expressional regulation of the chemotactic cytokine RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) during tissue regeneration using an excisional wound-healing model in mice. Wound repair was characterized by a large and sustained induction of RANTES expression, and inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) during repair only slightly decreased RANTES expression levels. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed keratinocytes of the wound margins and the hyperproliferative epithelium to be the main RANTES-expressing cell type within the wound. Therefore we analysed the regulation of RANTES expression in vitro in cultured human keratinocytes of the cell line HaCaT. Here we demonstrate that NO very efficiently suppressed interleukin-1beta- and tumour-necrosis-factor-alpha-induced RANTES expression in keratinocytes. Furthermore, down-regulation of cytokine-induced RANTES mRNA in keratinocytes was dependent on endogenously produced NO, as inhibition of the co-induced iNOS by L-N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine increased cytokine-triggered RANTES expression in the cells. Moreover, we observed strongest RANTES-immunopositive labelling in epithelial areas which were characterized by a NO-mediated low cellularity. Thus our data implicate NO as a negative regulator of RANTES expression during wound repair in vivo, as decreased numbers of keratinocytes observed in the absence of wound-derived NO might compensate for the high levels of RANTES expression which are associated with normal repair. |

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.
