IL-2 receptor beta-dependent STAT5 activation is required for the development of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells.
IL-2(-/-) mice develop autoimmunity despite having relatively normal numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs). In contrast, we demonstrate that IL-2(-/-) x IL-15(-/-) and IL-2Rbeta(-/-) mice have a significant decrease in Treg numbers. Ectopic expression of foxp3 in a subset of CD4(+) T cells rescued Treg development and prevented autoimmunity in IL-2Rbeta(-/-) mice, suggesting that IL-2Rbeta-depe...
متن کاملT-cell tolerance and the multi-functional role of IL-2R signaling in T-regulatory cells.
Signaling through the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) contributes to T-cell tolerance by controlling three important aspects of regulatory T-cell (Treg) biology. IL-2 is essential for thymic Treg development and regulates Treg homeostasis and suppressive function. Analogous to activated conventional T lymphocytes, IL-2R signaling also plays an important part in Treg cell growth, survival, and ef...
متن کاملThe influence of IL-2 family cytokines on activation and function of naturally occurring regulatory T cells.
IL-2 is essential for CD4+CD25+forkhead box P3+ (FoxP3+) naturally occurring regulatory T cell (Treg) homeostasis and activation. Binding of IL-2 to its receptor leads to phosphorylation of STAT5, and binding of phosphorylated STAT5 to the foxp3 promoter increases foxp3 transcription, resulting in elevated levels of FoxP3 protein in Tregs. Transcriptional regulation by the elevated levels of Fo...
متن کاملA dynamic dual role of IL-2 signaling in the two-step differentiation process of adaptive regulatory T cells.
The molecular mechanism of the extrathymic generation of adaptive, or inducible, CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (iTregs) remains incompletely defined. We show that exposure of splenic CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(-) cells to IL-2, but not other common γ-chain cytokines, resulted in Stat5 phosphorylation and induced Foxp3 expression in ∼10% of the cells. Thus, IL-2/Stat5 signaling may be critical for F...

Regulatory T cells (T reg), defined by the expression of the transcription factor Foxp3, are crucial for immunological self-tolerance and homeostasis. 1 T reg cells are mainly developed in the thymus as natural T reg cells (nT reg), which can be best depicted by a 2-step model. The initial signals from the high-affinity T-cell receptor (TCR) and CD28 co-stimulation lead to the generation of a p...
