| Abstract | Infiltration of activated monocytes into the brain is a prerequisite for the development of various neurological disorders such as HIV-associated dementia, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory processes. In these pathologies, the chemokine SDF-1alpha (CXCL12) is over-expressed and might attract monocytes into the CNS. We demonstrate here that SDF-1alpha stimulates migration of monocytes through its receptor, CXCR4, and decreases monocyte adherence to surfaces coated with ICAM-1, a ligand for beta(2) integrins. SDF-1alpha also decreases monocyte adherence to brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) that are activated with TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, or recombinant envelope glycoprotein from HIV-1, which increase BMVEC expression of ICAM-1. The decreased adherence is linked to down-regulation on monocytes of the activation-dependent epitope of the beta(2) integrin LFA-1 by SDF-1alpha. Knockdown of Lyn in monocytes using small interfering RNA decreases SDF-1alpha-mediated migration and prevents the inhibition of monocyte attachment to ICAM-1 and activated BMVEC. Thus, in SDF-1alpha-stimulated monocytes, Lyn acts as a positive regulator of migration and a negative regulator of adhesion to BMVEC through the LFA-1 integrin. These results provide a novel Lyn-mediated signaling mechanism for the regulation of monocyte movement at the blood-brain barrier. |

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.
