| Abstract | Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and oral mucosa in which the cell-mediated cytotoxicity is regarded as a major mechanism of pathogenesis. To understand its pathophysiology further, the present study examined the in situ expression of chemokines and chemokine receptors in oral lichen planus. Immunohistochemical analysis of 15 cases has consistently revealed that infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the submucosa predominantly expressed CCR5 and CXCR3. Furthermore, infiltrating T cells, particularly CD8+ T cells, were positive for RANTES/CCL5 and IP-10/CXCL10, the ligands of CCR5 and CXCR3, respectively. By immunoelectron microscopy, these chemokines were localized in the cytolytic granules of CD8+ T cells. Lesional keratinocytes also overexpressed the ligands of CXCR3, namely, MIG/CXCL9, CXCL10, and I-TAC/CXCL11. Our data suggest that the chemokines signaling via CCR5 and CXCR3, which are known to be selectively expressed by type 1 T cells, are predominantly involved in T-cell infiltration of oral lichen planus. Furthermore, the presence of CCL5 and CXCL10 in the cytolytic granules of tissue-infiltrating CD8+ T cells expressing CCR5 and CXCR3 reveals a potential self-recruiting mechanism involving activated effector cytotoxic T cells. |

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.
