The role of interleukin-2 in graft-versus-host disease pathogenesis, prevention and therapy
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a significant complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), posing substantial risks to patient survival. In the late follow-up phase of transplanted patients, GVHD is also a major cause of morbidity and disability, mostly due to low response to first-line steroids and the lack of effective standard therapies in the second line.
This review provides a description of GVHD pathogenesis, with a focus on the central role of Interleukin-2 (IL-2). IL-2 is one of the critical mediators in the complex pathogenesis of GVHD, contributing to the intricate balance between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and effector T cells (Teffs). Due to this pivotal role, several studies investigate the potential of IL-2 as a therapeutic option for GVHD management. We discuss the outcomes of low-dose IL-2 therapies and their impact on Treg proliferation and steroid dependency reduction. Additionally, the effects of combining IL-2 with other treatments, such as extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) and Treg-enriched lymphocyte infusions, are highlighted. Novel approaches, including modified IL-2 complexes and IL-2 receptor blockade, are explored for their potential in selectively enhancing Treg function and limiting Teff activation. The evolving understanding of IL-2′s pivotal role in immune regulation presents promising prospects for applying treatment and prevention strategies for GVHD.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
