| Abstract | FcγRIIb is the sole inhibitory FcR for IgG in humans and mice, where it is involved in the negative regulation of Ab production and cellular activation. FcγRIIb-deficient mice show exacerbated disease following the induction of nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN). In this study, we determined the cellular origin of the FcγRIIb-knockout phenotype by inducing NTN in mice with a deficiency of FcγRIIb on either B cells alone (FcγRIIB(fl/fl)/CD19Cre(+)) or myeloid cells (FcγRIIB(fl/fl)/CEBP Cre(+)). Deletion of FcγRIIb from B cells did not increase susceptibility to NTN, compared with wild-type (WT) mice, despite higher Ab titers in the FcγRIIB(fl/fl)/CD19Cre(+) mice compared with the WT littermate controls. In contrast, mice lacking FcγRIIb on myeloid cells had exacerbated disease as measured by increased glomerular thrombosis, glomerular crescents, albuminuria, serum urea, and glomerular neutrophil infiltration when compared with WT littermate controls. The role for FcγRIIb expression on radioresistant intrinsic renal cells in the protection from NTN was then investigated using bone marrow chimeric mice. FcγRIIb(-/-) mice transplanted with FcγRIIb(-/-) bone marrow were more susceptible to NTN than WT mice transplanted with FcγRIIb(-/-) bone marrow, indicating that the presence of WT intrinsic renal cells protects from NTN. These results demonstrate that FcγRIIb on myeloid cells plays a major role in protection from NTN, and therefore, augmentation of FcγRIIb on these cells could be a therapeutic target in human Ab-mediated glomerulonephritis. Where there was a lack of FcγRIIb on circulating myeloid cells, expression of FcγRIIb on intrinsic renal cells provided an additional level of protection from Ab-mediated glomerulonephritis. |

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.
