| Abstract | Substance P (SP) is a potent modulator of neuroimmunoregulation. We recently reported that human immune cells express SP and its receptor. We have now investigated the possible role that SP and its receptor plays in HIV infection of human mononuclear phagocytes. SP enhanced HIV replication in human blood-isolated mononuclear phagocytes, whereas the nonpeptide SP antagonist (CP-96,345) potently inhibited HIV infectivity of these cells in a concentration-dependent fashion. CP-96,345 prevented the formation of typical giant syncytia induced by HIV Bal strain replication in these cells. This inhibitory effect of CP-96,345 was because of the antagonism of neurokinin-1 receptor, a primary SP receptor. Both CP-96,345 and anti-SP antibody inhibited SP-enhanced HIV replication in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Among HIV strains tested (both prototype and primary isolates), only the R5 strains (Bal, ADA, BL-6, and CSF-6) that use the CCR5 coreceptor for entry into MDM were significantly inhibited by CP-96,345; in contrast, the X4 strain (UG024), which uses CXCR4 as its coreceptor, was not inhibited. In addition, the M-tropic ADA (CCR5-dependent)-pseudotyped HIV infection of MDM was markedly inhibited by CP-96,345, whereas murine leukemia virus-pseudotyped HIV was not affected, indicating that the major effect of CP-96,345 is regulated by Env-determined early events in HIV infection of MDM. CP-96,345 significantly down-regulated CCR5 expression in MDM at both protein and mRNA levels. Thus, SP–neurokinin-1 receptor interaction may play an important role in the regulation of CCR5 expression in MDM, affecting the R5 HIV strain infection of MDM. |

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.
