Psychological Stress-Induced Modulation of Interleukin 2 Receptor Gene Expression and Interleukin 2 Production in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes
Abstract
We explored the expression of the interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) and the synthesis of IL-2R messenger RNA by peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from medical students experiencing examination stress in three independent studies. The peripheral blood leukocytes obtained at low-stress baseline periods had significantly higher percentages of IL-2R-positive cells when compared with cells obtained from the same individuals during examinations. In addition, IL2-R messenger RNA in peripheral blood leukocytes decreased significantly during examination periods in a subset of 13 subjects. In one study, we found an increase in the accumulation of interleukin 2 in cultures of cells showing down regulation of IL-2R expression and IL-2R messenger RNA levels. While there are ample data demonstrating stress-associated decrements in the immune response in humans and animals, these data provide the first evidence that this interaction may be observed at the level of gene expression. The data suggest one mechanism whereby the central nervous system modulates the immune response during psychological stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
