Does the IL-2 receptor α chain induced on dendritic cells have a biological function?
The IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) α chain (CD25), but not the IL-2R β chain, is induced on dendritic cells (DC) by brief periods of culture. To test if this IL-2Rα is important for DC function, DC were isolated from the spleens of mutant mice with the IL-2Rα gene disrupted and compared with normal DC for ability to stimulate proliferation of allogeneic CD4 and CD8 T cells in culture. The IL-2Rα null DC...
متن کاملInterleukin 2 (IL-2) augments transcription of the IL-2 receptor gene.
We demonstrate that purified interleukin 2 (IL-2) can directly upregulate IL-2 receptor expression on phytohemagglutinin-activated T lymphocytes maintained in culture until IL-2 receptor expression had markedly declined. The IL-2-induced increase in IL-2 receptor number is maximal within 12 hr, requires new RNA and protein synthesis, and is mediated by an interaction of ligand with the high-aff...
متن کاملEnhanced Interleukin (IL)-13 Responses in Mice Lacking IL-13 Receptor α 2
Interleukin (IL)-13 has recently been shown to play important and unique roles in asthma, parasite immunity, and tumor recurrence. At least two distinct receptor components, IL-4 receptor (R)alpha and IL-13Ralpha1, mediate the diverse actions of IL-13. We have recently described an additional high affinity receptor for IL-13, IL-13Ralpha2, whose function in IL-13 signaling is unknown. To better...
متن کاملIL-2 negatively regulates IL-7 receptor chain expression in activated T lymphocytes
Interleukin (IL)-2 is a type I four-helical bundle cytokine that plays vital roles in antigen-mediated proliferation of peripheral blood T cells and also is critical for activation-induced cell death. We now demonstrate that IL-2 potently decreases expression of IL-7 receptor chain (IL-7R ) mRNA and protein. The fact that IL-7R is a component of the receptors for both IL-7 and thymic stromal ly...
متن کاملCorrelation of -475 IL-2 Promoter Gene Polymorphisms and the Levels of Serum IL-2 on the Risk of Multiple Sclerosis
Background: The aim of present study is to asset the IL-2 promoter gene (SNP -475) as a candidate gene for multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. Methods: This study included 70 patients with relapsing – remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and 50 healthy controls. Following the extraction of genomic DNA from peripheral blood, frequency of genotypes and alleles of SNP -475 was calculated usi...
