The fact that proliferative unresponsiveness exists even though T-TIL can produce IL2 and express IL2R alpha/beta suggests that T-TIL have a selective loss of a common intracellular signaling pathway which is requisite to proliferation but not other aspects of response to antigenic stimulation. Paper-7674801.
These results show for the first time that in fresh human monocytes, IL-8 expression is differentially regulated by IL-2 and IFN-gamma and suggest that the interactions among IL-2, IL-8, and IFN-gamma may be important for the development and control of the inflammatory response. Paper-7656822.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF alpha) enhanced the IL-2-dependent proliferation of TIL's cultured in low concentrations of IL-2 (10 U/ml); however, neither TNF alpha nor interferon gamma was able to reduce the inhibitory effect of TGF beta 2 on TIL proliferation. Paper-6478503.

The LAK activity induced by human recombinant IL-2 was very similar in controls and patients with rheumatoid arthritis but was significantly decreased in patients with sarcoidosis, although the frequency of LAK-cell precursors measured using a limiting dilution assay was comparable in all three groups. Paper-5489221.
These observations suggest that SHP-1 normally functions to antagonize the IL-2 signal transduction pathway and that HTLV-I infection and oncogenic transformation can lead to loss of SHP-1 expression resulting in constitutive activation of IL-2 regulated T cell responses. Paper-1390462.
The repressive effect of Nur77 on IL-2 promoter activation is mediated through inhibition of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappaB ( NF-kappaB), since blocking or alteration of the IL-2 NF-kappaB binding sites resulted in abrogation of the repressive effect of Nur77. Paper-10659971.

We now report that PA682BM-1 can be triggered by the protein kinase C (PKC) activators, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and (-) Indolactam-v, to secrete IFN gamma, whereas JLP(c) cells spontaneously produce low levels of IFN gamma that can be enhanced by PKC activators and interleukin-2 ( IL-2). Paper-7482112.
T cells grown in response to CD3 plus CD28 plus IL-2 stimulation produced both IL-4 and interferon-gamma ( IFN-gamma) on restimulation (Th0 cells) and could be functionally differentiated into Th1- or Th2-type cells by the addition of IFN-gamma or IL-4, respectively, during cell cloning.

Paper-7550327.
Our studies show that the mechanism of IL-10 regulation of quiescent CD4(+) T-cell activation is mainly by blocking induction of IL-2 that is critical to downregulation of p27(Kip1) and upregulation of D cyclins in T-cell activation and entry into the cell cycle. Paper-1705894.
OBJECTIVE: Interferon-gamma ( IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 ( IL-4) production of ovalbumin- stimulated and interleukin-2 (IL-2)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from egg-sensitive patients was investigated and compared with that of stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from nonatopic healthy children. Paper-615503.
Recently, interleukin 2 ( IL-2) has been shown to induce increased activity of the p56lck protein-tyrosine kinase ( PTK) in T-cell and natural killer cell lines, and evidence for a direct interaction between the p75 subunit of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) and this src-family kinase has been reported. Paper-7334362.

The results showed that the combined transcriptional regulatory sequences of E(AFP)-P(ALB) could control the targeted expression of cytokine genes in AFP-positive human HCC cells, and the expression level of the IL-2/IFNalpha2b fused gene was positively correlated to the level of AFP expression in the infected cells. Paper-1792134.
Here, we demonstrate that interleukin-2 ( IL-2) induces FOXP3 expression in OKT3-stimulated or antigen-stimulated CD8 T cells, indicating that FOXP3 expression is neither limited to a unique subset of CD8 T cells nor dependent on the mode of T-cell receptor stimulation. Paper-13168827.
Numbers of IL-2 secreting cells were higher in MS patients compared to patients with AM + TH after stimulation with myelin proteolipid protein ( PLP), myelin associated glycoprotein ( MAG) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein ( MOG), but not after stimulation with myelin basic protein ( MBP). Paper-7759304.

Thus, by pharmacologic, genetic, and biochemical criteria in vitro and in vivo, our results suggest that IL-15 and IL-2 oppositely regulate CX3CR1 gene expression by differentially recruiting NFAT1 and NFAT2 to a kappaB-like NFAT site within the CX3CR1 promoter. Paper-10630708.
However, proliferation of TH2 cells is enhanced by IL-2 pretreatment, while the TH1 clones or CTL clones through the T cell receptor (TCR) profoundly inhibits IL-2-induced proliferation of those cells, whereas such stimulation either has very little effect or augments the proliferation of IL-4-producing clones. Paper-11964814.
Using a cDNA-polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) with specific primer sets for the various CSF, we showed that IL-2 treatment induced the expression of mRNA for M-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5, but not for granulocyte CSF ( G-CSF) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting differential expression of CSF in vivo in response to IL-2. Paper-6913638.
Additionally, upon overexpression, the ALX NES mutant was found to be impaired in inhibiting TCR/ CD28- induced transcriptional up-regulation of the RE/AP composite element from the IL-2 promoter, whereas a truncated form of ALX that is a potent inhibitor of RE/AP activation was found to reside entirely in the cytoplasm. Paper-11474498.

The number of alleles now recognized at these loci within the IL-2 and IL-2Rbeta genes increases to 16 and 12, respectively. Paper-8780130.
Notably, the cells infected with the bFGF- expressing adenovirus containing the IL-2 signal sequence were markedly enhanced cell survival in the early phase of the culture, compared with the control cells and even those infected with the bFGF- expressing adenovirus without the IL-2 signal sequence. Paper-8519478.
Although the expression of IL-2R beta was not down-regulated but somewhat up-regulated by treatment with GM-CSF in both mRNA and protein levels, GM-CSF was found to compete (75%) with radiolabeled IL-2 for binding to IL-2R on M07E cells, whereas no competition of GM-CSF binding was observed with IL-2 even at a 400-fold molar excess. Paper-7569322.
The differential propensity of CD8(+) T cells to produce either IL-2 or perforin is in part related to levels of CD28 and the transcription factor T-bet, as CD8(+) T cells that rapidly upregulate perforin harbor high levels of T-bet and those producing IL-2 express high amounts of CD28. Paper-14272655.
T cell clones derived from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with multiple sclerosis ( MS) were analysed for their capacity to produce interleukin 2 ( IL-2), interleukin 4 ( IL-4), interferon-gamma ( IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-alpha). Paper-7407924.
Expression of the full-length complementary DNA encoding NF-ATc activates the interleukin ( IL-2) promoter in non-T lymphocytes, whereas a dominant negative of NF-ATc specifically blocks activation of the IL-2 promoter in T lymphocytes, indicating that NF-ATc is required for IL-2 gene expression. Paper-122216.
We report that virus-specific CD4+ T cells expressing 4-1BB ( CD137) or OX40 ( CD134) produced more IL-2 than cells lacking these costimulatory receptors (P<0.05) and that 4-1BB was expressed at a lower level on HIV- than CMV-specific IFN-gamma and IL-2 producing CD4+ T cells (P<0.0001 and P<0.01, respectively). Paper-13885630.
It is concluded that: 1) both T cells lacking and T cells having receptors for IL 2 produce IL 2, but only IL 2 receptor-negative T cells appear to secrete IL 3; and 2) virtually all of the T cells that produce IFN-gamma after PHA stimulation express receptors for IL 2. Paper-4638304.
In the present study, we examined function of a mutant gammac chain (A156V) isolated from an X-SCID patient and found that T cells expressing the mutant gammac chain were selectively impaired in their responses to IL-4 or IL-7 compared with the wild-type gammac chain expressing cells although responses to IL-2 or IL-15 were relatively maintained. Paper-1795499.
In this paper, we provide evidence that IL-2- mediated induction of the c-myb gene occurs via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase ( PI3K) signaling pathway, that protein kinase B ( PKB) is the principal transducer of this signal, and that activation of the c-myb promoter can be abolished by deletion of conserved E2F and NF-kappaB binding sites. Paper-9037613.
In this study, we observed that IL-18 induced NK cell apoptosis and inhibited NK cell expansion in the presence of low concentrations of interleukin-2 ( IL-2), while high concentrations of IL-2 overcame these effects of IL-18, and high concentrations of IL-2 promoted the stimulatory activity of IL-18 on NK cells. Paper-15522608.
Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) are orally available small molecules that potently inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-alpha) production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (HuPBMCs) but enhance secretion of such cytokines as interleukin-2 ( IL-2) and interferon-gamma ( IFN-gamma) by stimulated T cells. Paper-11248933.
Suppression of viral replication with antiretroviral therapy was associated with increased 4-1BB expression on HIV- and CMV-specific IL-2 producing CD4+ T cells (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively) and the percentage of IL-2 producing HIV-specific CD4+ T cells that expressed 4-1BB was inversely correlated with HIV plasma viral load (r=-0.75, P=0.007). Paper-13885630.
