| Abstract | Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) regulates the production, maturation, and function of neutrophils. Its expression is often induced during infection, resulting in high concentrations of G-CSF in inflammatory exudates and in the blood, suggesting that it may regulate both local and systemic neutrophil responses. Herein, we characterize the neutrophil response in G-CSFR−/− mice following intratracheal injection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa–laden agarose beads, modeling the pulmonary infection observed in many patients with cystic fibrosis. G-CSFR−/− mice are markedly susceptible to bronchopulmonary P aeruginosa infection, exhibiting decreased survival and bacterial clearance as well as extensive damage to lung tissue. The systemic neutrophil response was mediated primarily by enhanced neutrophil release from the bone marrow rather than increased neutrophil production and was attenuated in G-CSFR−/− mice. Despite normal to increased local production of inflammatory chemokines, neutrophil accumulation into the infected lung of G-CSFR−/− mice was markedly reduced. Moreover, the percentage of apoptotic neutrophils in the lung was elevated, suggesting that G-CSF signals may play an important role in regulating neutrophil survival at the inflammatory site. Collectively, these data provide new evidence that G-CSF signals play important but specific roles in the regulation of the systemic and local neutrophil response following infection. |

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.
