| Abstract | Infiltrating monocytes and macrophages contribute to the initiation and perpetuation of mucosal inflammation characteristic for human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Peripheral blood monocytes expressing the low-affinity Fcgamma receptor CD16 have been identified previously as a major proinflammatory cell population, based on their unique cytokine secretion profile. However, the contribution of these cells to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease remains to be elucidated. Thus, in this study we investigated whether the peripheral CD16(+) monocyte count correlates with common IBD disease parameters, and whether these cells infiltrate the intestinal mucosa under inflammatory conditions. We observed that CD16(+) peripheral blood monocytes are increased significantly in active Crohn's disease, particularly in patients with high Crohn's disease activity index and colonic involvement. Furthermore, we found that CD16(+) cells are a major contributor to the inflammatory infiltrate in Crohn's disease mucosa, although their spontaneous migration through primary human intestinal endothelial cells is limited. Our data suggest that lamina propria, but not peripheral blood, CD16(+) monocytes are a crucial proinflammatory cell population in IBD, and a potential target for anti-inflammatory therapy. |

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.
