Murine myeloid cells develop from hemopoietic stem/progenitor cells, and different types of progenitor cells have varying differentiation potentials. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), an important cell subpopulation regulating immune responses, arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. The IL-2/IL-2R pathway plays a crucial role in regulating Tregs, and different subunit combinations of IL-2R can affect immune cell activation.
Murine myeloid cells are developed from hemopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Different types of progenitor cells have variable differentiation potentials. Among the ten main types of cells differentiated from lymphoid progenitor cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), an important cell subpopulation regulating immune and inflammatory responses, arise from the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Tregs then differentiate into T lymphocytes and migrate to the thymus and finally generate Treg subsets, which are subsequently activated and regulated by inflammatory cytokines in the peripheral blood. Tregs also have different phenotypes and immunomodulatory functions. The cytokine interleukin-2/interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2/IL-2R) pathway is an important regulatory signaling pathway of Tregs. Besides, different types of CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells have different immune effects in the absence of IL-2. IL-2R consists of three subunits, alpha chain (CD25), beta chain (CD122), and gamma chain (CD132). Different subunit combinations have different effects on the activation of immune cells. Multiple studies have shown that IL2RA deficiency has various effects on the immune function in mice. This article reviews the subunit composition and signaling pathway of IL-2R, the classification of Tregs in a murine myeloid cell line and the regulatory effect of IL-2/IL-2R on them, the regulatory impact and signaling mechanism of IL-2/IL-2R on CD4(+)/CD8(+) lymphocyte differentiation, the primary manifestations and molecular mechanism of immune dysfunction in IL -2-and IL-2R-deficient mice, soluble IL-2R alpha as a biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic efficacy of treatment in immune system disorders, and the development and clinical application of IL-2 mutants.
