Low-dose Interleukin-2 in the Treatment of Autoimmune Disease | touchONCOLOGY - 0 views

  • affect approximately 5 to 8 % of the US population
  • the incidence and prevalence of autoimmune diseases are rising
  • Type 1 diabetes (T1D), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) account for the majority of the patients with autoimmune diseases

  • Autoimmune diseases are characterized by a breakdown of mechanisms that allow the immune system to distinguish between self and nonself and maintain immunologic self-tolerance
  • Tregs, which are important in the maintenance of peripheral immune tolerance.
  • Several subtypes of Tregs exist, the most well studied being CD4+ cells that express high-level CD25 and the transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)
  • Treg deficiency or dysfunction is associated with autoimmune disease
  • In clinical studies, decreased levels of circulating CD25+CD4+ T cells have been reported in patients with autoimmune disease
  • These data have led to the hypothesis that augmentation of Tregs may be a useful therapeutic strategy in autoimmune disease
  • Treg augmentation has resulted in clinical improvements in numerous animal models of autoimmune diseases
  • the administration of in vitro expanded CD4+CD25highCD127-Tregs has been found to be safe and may help to preserve β-cell function in children with T1D
  • ability of IL-2 to augment the numbers and function of CD4+ Tregs.

    Great article.  Immune dysfunction plays role in autoimmune disease and cancer.  Treg cells sit at the center of autoimmunity.  This artice highlights the different uses: low dose IL2 therapy to augment Tregs and reduce autoinflammation and high dose IL2 to augment Treg cells in the fight against cancer.
