The JAK-STAT signaling pathway and immune. Interactions between a large number of cytokines and the JAK-STAT pathway influence immune cell differentiation and development and exert immunoregulatory effects. IFN and IL-12 are crucial for Th1 cell differentiation and drive T-bet gene expression through STAT1 and STAT4, respectively. IL-4 upregulates GATA3 genes via STAT6 to activate Th2 cell differentiation. IL-6 and TGF play an essential role in Th17 cell differentiation via STAT3 to trigger RORt gene expression. IL-6 and IL-12 influence T follicular helper cell differentiation via STAT3 to increase Bcl-6 transcription. IL-2 induces Treg cell differentiation via the direct combination of STAT5A/B with the Foxp3 gene
