    Abstract:
    The expression of alpha-subunit of interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2Ralpha) was assessed by quantifying activation-induced upregulation of CD25 in human blood lymphocytes (HBL) stimulated by interleukin-2 (IL-2). It was established that exogenous IL-2 induced no surface expression of CD25 neither proliferation at 48 h of IL-2 action. In component HBL, pretreated by sub-mitogenic doses of phytohemagglutinin (PHA), 5-15 % of cell population was revealed to represent the CD2t+ cells, and in the competent cells only, exogenous IL-2 induced the surface expression of CD25 as well as the growth and the proliferative response, which was comparable with those to mitogenic doses of PHA. The JAK3 inhibitor WHI-P131 eliminated IL-2-dependent CD25 expression without influencing the CD25 expression in competent cells. Unlike, PP2 was found to inhibit the IL-2-dependent CD25 expression in a lesser extent than WHI-P131, however this drug was effectively inhibited CD25 expression in PHA-pretreated, competent HBL. These data suggest that Src-dependent signaling participate in the early IL-2Ralpha expression that precedes the IL-2-dependent cell cycle progression of activated HBL. It is concluded that in normal T cells, the IL-2Ralpha expression in firstly induced by antigen (mitogen) and thereafter it is held IL-2 through JAK-dependent signaling pathway.
