Abstract

Binding of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to high affinity receptors on activated normal T cells was shown to be the essential step in induction of proliferation of such cells. The finding of abundant IL-2 receptors on malignant T cells in adult T cell leukemia suggested a deregulation of the IL-2/IL-2 receptor system and was assumed to account for aberrant growth in malignant disorders of T cells.

Abstract

Binding of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to high affinity receptors on activated normal T cells was shown to be the essential step in induction of proliferation of such cells. The finding of abundant IL-2 receptors on malignant T cells in adult T cell leukemia suggested a deregulation of the IL-2/IL-2 receptor system and was assumed to account for aberrant growth in malignant disorders of T cells. In this study we use malignant T cells from nine patients with the clinical diagnosis of T-ALL or T-NHL and did not detect IL-2 dependent growth under conditions in which normal T cells responded to IL-2. IL-2 receptors comparable in numbers to activated T cells were found on T-ALL/T-NHL cells stimulated with PHA and PMA. However, binding studies using radiolabeled IL-2 indicated that the receptors present on malignant T cells were not able to bind to IL-2 with high affinity. Therefore, if IL-2 is involved in the proliferation of malignant T cells, its mechanism of growth regulation may be different from the one for normal T cells. Alternatively, IL-2 may not play a role in the regulation of growth of malignant T cells in vitro.
