| Abstract | Interleukin-7 is essential for the development and maintenance of T cells, and the expression of the IL-7 receptor is tightly regulated at every stage of the T cell’s lifespan. In mature CD8 T cells, IL-7 plays important roles in cell survival, peripheral homeostasis, and cytolytic function. The IL-7 receptor alpha-chain (CD127) is expressed at high levels on naïve and memory cells, but it is rapidly downregulated upon IL-7 stimulation. In this study, we illustrate the dynamicity of the CD127 promoter and show that it possesses positive as well as negative regulatory sites involved in upregulating and downregulating CD127 expression, respectively. We cloned the CD127 gene promoter and identified key cis-regulatory elements required for CD127 expression in mature resting primary CD8 T cells. The core promoter necessary for efficient basal transcription is contained within the first 262 bp upstream of the TATA box. Additional positive regulatory elements are located between −1200 and −2406 bp, conferring a further 2- to 4-fold enhancement in gene expression. While transcription of the CD127 gene is increased directly through a glucocorticoid response element located between −2255 and −2269 bp upstream of the TATA box, we identified a suppressive region that lies upstream of 1760 bp from the TATA box, which is likely involved in the IL-7-mediated suppression of CD127 transcription. Finally, we illustrated IL-7 does not bias alternative splicing of CD127 transcripts in primary human CD8 T cells. |

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.
