Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays a critical role in controlling the immune homeostasis by regulating the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, especially T cells. IL-2 signaling is mediated via the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) complex, which consists of the IL-2Rα (CD25), the IL-2Rβ, and the IL-2Rγ. While the latter are required for signal transduction, IL-2Rα controls the ligand-binding affinity of the receptor complex. A soluble form of the IL-2Rα (sIL-2Rα) is found constitutively in human serum, though its levels are increased under various pathophysiological conditions. The sIL-2Rα originates partly from activated T cells through proteolytic cleavage, but neither the responsible proteases nor stimuli that lead to IL-2Rα cleavage are known. Here, we show that the metalloproteases ADAM10 and ADAM17 can cleave the IL-2Rα and generate a soluble ectodomain, which functions as a decoy receptor that inhibits IL-2 signaling in T cells. We demonstrate that ADAM10 is mainly responsible for constitutive shedding of the IL-2Rα, while ADAM17 is involved in IL-2Rα cleavage upon T cell activation. In vivo, we found that mice with a CD4-specific deletion of ADAM10, but not ADAM17, show reduced steady-state sIL-2Rα serum levels. We propose that the identification of proteases involved in sIL-2Rα generation will allow for manipulation of IL-2Rα cleavage, especially as constitutive and induced cleavage of IL-2Rα are executed by different proteases, and thus offer a novel opportunity to alter IL-2 function.

We propose that the identification of proteases involved in sIL-2Rα generation will allow for manipulation of IL-2Rα cleavage, especially as constitutive and induced cleavage of IL-2Rα are executed by different proteases, and thus offer a novel opportunity to alter IL-2 function. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is not only one of the earliest discovered cytokines, it is also one of the most important regulators of immune responses. After its initial description as a T cell proliferation factor (1Morgan D.A. Ruscetti F.W. Gallo R. Selective in vitro growth of T lymphocytes from normal human bone marrows.Science (New York, N.Y.). 1976; 193: 1007-1008Crossref PubMed Scopus (1754) Google Scholar), a variety of other functions of IL-2 have been described, including differentiation of CD4+ T cell subsets, antibody production by B cells, and cytotoxic activity of NK cells (2Leonard W.J. Lin J.X. O'Shea J.J. The gammac family of cytokines: Basic biology to therapeutic ramifications.Immunity. 2019; 50: 832-850Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (121) Google Scholar). However, the most important function is probably the maintenance of the homeostasis of regulatory T cells and, consequently, self-tolerance (3Toomer K.H. Malek T.R. Cytokine signaling in the development and homeostasis of regulatory T cells.Cold Spring Harb. Perspect. Biol. 2018; 10a028597Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar, 4Nelson B.H. IL-2, regulatory T cells, and tolerance.J. Immunol. (Baltimore, Md. : 1950). 2004; 172: 3983-3988Crossref PubMed Scopus (440) Google Scholar). Signal transduction of IL-2 is mediated via different combinations of the receptor subunits IL-2 receptor α (IL-2Rα/CD25/Tac), IL-2Rβ (CD122), and IL-2Rγ (common γ chain/γc/CD132). A heterodimer of IL-2Rβ and γc is required for the induction of intracellular signals via activation of the Janus kinases JAK1 and JAK3. The IL-2Rα is the only one of these receptors that is specific for IL-2. Its extracellular part consists of two sushi domains and a flexible, 54 amino-acid residues long stalk region that connects the extracellular domains with the transmembrane helix. The intracellular region is rather short and lacks interaction sites for kinases. Consequently, the IL-2Rα is not directly involved in signal transduction (5Wang X. Lupardus P. Laporte S.L. Garcia K.C. Structural biology of shared cytokine receptors.Annu. Rev. Immunol. 2009; 27: 29-60Crossref PubMed Scopus (258) Google Scholar). It does, however, bind IL-2 and facilitate binding of the cytokine to the other two receptor subunits, giving the trimeric receptor complex a higher affinity than the dimeric complex. Thus, the expression of the IL-2Rα dictates sensitivity of a cell toward IL-2. Notably, high expression of IL-2Rα is especially found on regulatory T cells and transiently also on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation (6Boyman O. Sprent J. The role of interleukin-2 during homeostasis and activation of the immune system.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2012; 12: 180-190Crossref PubMed Scopus (974) Google Scholar, 7Spolski R. Li P. Leonard W.J. Biology and regulation of IL-2: From molecular mechanisms to human therapy.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2018; 18: 648-659Crossref PubMed Scopus (175) Google Scholar). In addition to the membrane-bound receptor, also a soluble form of the IL-2Ra has been described. This soluble (s)IL-2Rα is present in the blood of healthy humans (8Bien E. Balcerska soluble receptor in human of and A PubMed Scopus Google and is in from activated T cells R. receptors are from activated human cells in Immunol. (Baltimore, Md. : 1950). Google Scholar). Notably, the of soluble IL-2Rα (sIL-2Rα) is increased in a variety of including different which has to its as a (8Bien E.
