(Submitter supplied) T helper (Th) cells control host defense to pathogens. IL 12R expression is required for Th1, IL-4Rα for Th2, and IL-6Rα/
gp130 for Th17 differentiation to allow responsiveness to IL-12, IL-4, and IL-6, respectively. IL-2 via STAT5 controls Th2 differentiation by regulating the Th2 cytokine gene cluster and Il4ra expression. Here we show that IL-2 regulates Th1 differentiation, inducing STAT5-dependent IL-12Rβ2 and T-bet expression, with impaired human Th1 differentiation when IL-2 was blocked.
