| Abstract | Syncytium formation is one of major cytopathic effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and requires the interaction of CD4 molecules on uninfected cells with HIV envelope glyoprotein gp120 expressed on HIV-infected cells. Recent evidence suggests chemokine receptors function as fusion cofactors. We have recently found that fusion regulatory protein (FRP)-1/ CD98 is involved in syncytium formation of HIV gp160-expressing U2ME-7 cells and TALL-1 cells persistently infected with HIV. However, resting lymphocytes were found to express no FRP-1 molecule. In this study, we demonstrated that recombinant gp120 (rpg120) has the ability to induce expression of FRP-1 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Three-color flow cytometric analysis showed that rgp120-induced FRP-1 was expressed selectively on CD4+ T cells in a dose-dependent manner. FRP-1 expression level was maximum 3 days after addition of rgp120. Anti-CD4 and anti-gp120 antibodies blocked rgp120-induced FRP-1 expression. Co-cultivation of PBMC with HIV-1 gp160-expressing HeLa cells also resulted in the increased expression of FRP-1 on T cells. These results suggest that FRP-1 molecules are induced on CD4+ T cells via CD4-gp120 interaction and may play an important role in regulation of HIV-induced syncytium formation. |

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.
