Background

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) exerts immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory effects on cytotoxic effector cells by activating regulatory T cells (Tregs). These IL-2 effects depend on different expression patterns of IL-2 receptor (IL-2R): CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells carry high levels of the dimeric IL-2Rβ (CD122) and IL-2Rγ (γc); Treg cells express high levels of IL-2Rα (CD25) as well as moderate levels of CD122 and γc.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) was the first cytokine to be molecularly cloned and is essential for T cell proliferation, the generation of effector cells, and the production of memory cells as a T cell growth factor. IL-2 promotes the generation, survival, and functional activity of Treg cells, thus possessing dual and opposing functions: maintaining Treg cells to control immune responses and stimulating conventional T cells to promote immune responses. Literature has demonstrated that certain conformations of IL-2 can selectively target Treg cells by increasing the dependency on CD25 binding at the expense of CD122 binding. Recent therapeutic strategies have emerged, using IL-2, monoclonal antibodies against IL-2, or IL-2 variants to increase the number and function of Treg cells for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, while addressing the ongoing challenge of minimizing the production of effector cells, memory cells, natural killer cells, and other innate lymphoid cells.
