IL-2 and RAPA effects on STAT5 phosphorylation. Prediabetic female NOD mice 12–16 weeks of age were injected with PBS, 1 mg/kg RAPA 16 and 2 h before analysis, 250,000 IU IL-2 2 h before the analysis, or the combined treatment (IL-2 + RAPA). Phosphorylation of STAT5 on Treg cells (CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells) and Teff cells (CD4+ Foxp3 T cells) was determined by flow cytometry. Shown are the gating strategy to define the percentage of p-STAT5+ Treg and Teff cells (top) and the percentage of p-STAT5+ Treg cells (bottom left) or Teff cells (bottom right) in the DLN. Data are cumulative of three independent experiments, symbols represent individual mice, and horizontal lines represent the median. ***P < 0.001 (unpaired, two-tailed Student t test).
