| Abstract | Transcription of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene is rapidly and transiently induced by lipopolysaccharide in cells of monocytemacrophage lineage. Previous studies have suggested that in the mouse, multiple NF-kappaBRel-binding sites contribute to the TNF transcriptional response to LPS. But the role of these regulatory elements in transcriptional activation of the TNF-alpha gene in human monocytes remains unclear. Previously, a transcription factor, termed lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor (LITAF), was found to regulate TNF-alpha gene expression. However, the specific protein domain(s) of human (h)LITAF that interact with the hTNF-alpha promoter had not been identified. In this study, we identify by footprinting a sequence motif, CTCCC (-515 to -511), within the TNF-alpha promoter that binds to hLITAF. We also identify the region of hLITAF (amino acids 165-180) that was named peptide B and specifically mediates binding to the hTNF-alpha promoter. When THP-1 cells were stimulated with this peptide B, it was sufficient to induce TNF-alpha secretion. Induction of TNF-alpha transcription by LPS or peptide B depended on the presence of the -515 to -511 promoter region, which was found to be essential for hLITAF binding. Together, these findings help to clarify the mechanism of hLITAFhTNF-alpha interaction and the manner by which hLITAF contributes to hTNF-alpha regulation in an attempt to design new pharmacological interventions to address TNF-related diseases. |

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.
