| Abstract | Transendothelial migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and their subsequent interaction with the subendothelial matrix lead to their differentiation to macrophages (mϕs). To study whether preexposure of monocytes in circulation to modified proteins influences their differentiation to mϕs, an in vitro model system using isolated PBMC in culture was used. The effect of modified proteins such as oxidatively modified LDL (ox-LDL), acetylated and non-enzymatically glycated-BSA (NEG-BSA) on the differentiation process was studied by monitoring the upregulation of mϕ specific functions such as endocytosis, production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), expression of surface antigen, activity of β-glucuronidase and down regulation of monocyte specific myeloperoxidase activity. Rate of endocytosis, production of MMPs and β-glucuronidase activity were significantly greater in cells treated with modified proteins irrespective of the nature of modification. Both CuSO$_{4}$ ox-LDL and HOCl ox-LDL increased the rate of expression of the mϕ specific functions. FACS analysis showed that the rate of upregulation of mϕ specific CD71 and down regulation of monocyte specific CD14 were high in cells supplemented with modified proteins. Studies using PPARγ antagonist and agonist suggest its involvement in CuSO$_{4}$ ox-LDL induced monocyte-macrophage (mo-mϕ) differentiation whereas the expression of macrophage specific functions in cells exposed to other modified proteins was independent of PPARγ. PBMC isolated from hypercholesterolemic rabbits in culture expressed mϕ specific functions at a faster rate compared to normal controls indicating that these observations are relevant in vivo. These results indicate that preexposure of monocytes to modified proteins promote their differentiation to mϕs and may serve as a feed forward type control for clearing modified proteins. |

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.
