Regulatory T cells (Tregs) require IL-2 for survival in the periphery, yet how IL-2 shapes Treg heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Here we show that inhibition of IL-2R signaling in post-thymic Tregs leads to a preferential early loss of circulating Tregs (cTregs). Gene expression of cTregs was more dependent on IL-2R signaling than effector Tregs (eTregs).

Immunologic self-tolerance involves signals from co-inhibitory receptors. Several T cell co-inhibitors, including PD-1, are expressed upon activation, whereas CD5 and BTLA are expressed constitutively. The relationship between constitutively expressed co-inhibitors and when they are needed is unknown.

Primary cutaneous gamma delta T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounting for <1% of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. The exact cause of PCGDTCL is not known, however, it is thought that chronic antigen exposure in the skin may lead to immune dysregulation at the site, resulting in abnormal proliferation of mature, post-thymic cytotoxic gamma delta T cells. Mutations are the most common genetic alteration seen in PCGDTCL, while structural abnormalities such as gene fusions are not common.

The T cell population size is stringently controlled before, during, and after immune responses, as improper cell death regulation can result in autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. RIPK1 is an important regulator of peripheral T cell survival and homeostasis. However, whether different peripheral T cell subsets show a differential requirement for RIPK1 and which programmed cell death pathway they engage in vivo remains unclear.

Autoimmune diseases often arise from conditions where the immune system is compromised. While lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) is crucial for immune system development and maturation, it is also caused by environmental insults, such as infection, and becomes a risk factor for autoimmunity in adults. We used Dsg3H1 TCR transgenic mice, whose T cells are designed to recognize desmogrein-3, a skin antigen, to explore the impact of lymphopenia on post-thymic tolerance.
