| Abstract | CD16+ monocytes are expanded in various inflammatory conditions. Recently it was reported that CD16+ monocytes can be divided into two subsets with contrasting potential of modulating inflammatory responses, namely CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocytes. Here, we characterized and quantified CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subsets in asthmatic patients in the context of severity of disease and different treatment options. Subjects included seventeen severe asthmatics and eighteen moderate asthmatics treated with moderate-to-high doses of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (GCS), twenty nine steroid-naive mild asthmatics and fifteen healthy controls. First, we demonstrated that CD14++CD16+ monocytes, in contrast to CD14+CD16+ monocytes, present significantly higher expression of anti-inflammatory molecule CD163. The frequency of CD14++CD16+, but not CD14+CD16+ monocytes, was significantly higher in patients with severe asthma as compared to mild and moderate asthmatics. However, the frequency of both CD16+ monocyte subsets did not correlate directly with exhaled nitric oxide levels. Short-term administration of oral GCS in patients with exacerbations resulted in a preferential decrease of CD14+CD16+ monocytes. Our study indicates that CD14++CD16+ and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subsets in asthmatics are differentially modulated by both the inflammatory process and GCS treatment. |

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.
