doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2026.115313
Figure Lengend Snippet: eIF4G2 specifically sustains surface expression of the IL-7 receptor (A–C) Expression of IL-7Rα (CD127). (A) Representative histogram and (B) quantification of CD127 median fluorescence intensity (MFI) on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells ( n = 3, ∗∗ p < 0.01). (C) MFI of CD127 on DP, CD4 SP, and CD8 SP thymocytes ( n = 3, ns p > 0.05, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001). (D–F) Expression of the common γc (CD132). (D) Representative histogram and (E) quantification of CD132 MFI on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells ( n = 4, ∗ p < 0.05). ppp(F) MFI of CD132 on DP, CD4 SP, and CD8 SP thymocytes ( n = 3, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001). (G and H) Expression of IL-4Rα (CD124) expression detection on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells. (G) Representative histogram and (H) quantification of CD124 MFI on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells ( n = 3, ns p > 0.05). (I and J) Expression of GP130 on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells. (I) Representative histogram and (J) quantification of GP130 MFI on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells ( n = 3, ∗∗ p < 0.01). (K) Quantification of CD124 MFI on DP, CD4 SP and CD8 SP ( n = 3, ns p > 0.05). (L–N) Expression of IL-2Rα (CD25). (L) Representative histogram and (M) quantification of CD25 MFI on CD4 + CD8 lo transitional cells ( n = 3, ns p > 0.05). (N) MFI of CD25 on DP, CD4 SP, and CD8 SP subsets ( n = 3, ns p > 0.05). Data are representative of at least two independent experiments. Bar graphs show mean ± SEM and unpaired Students’ t test was used to perform the statistical analysis.
