摘要
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays an established role in T-cell regulation through binding to the high-affinity IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). The alpha-chain encoded by the IL2RA (CD25) gene is a substantial component of the high-affinity receptor molecule highly expressed by activated T lymphocytes. Recently, a strong evidence was obtained for the involvement of IL-2RA in conferring susceptibility to type I diabetes (T1D). Significant association with T1D was also found in the region on chromosome 4q27 containing the IL2 gene and homologous to the susceptibility locus idd3 in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, an animal model for human T1D. Here we focus on the discussion of these new findings suggesting for a crucial role of IL-2/IL-2RA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in preventing T1D. The non-redundant role of IL-2 and its receptor in etiology of T1D could be particularly attributable to the regulation of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells, whose function is critical in maintaining immune homeostasis.
