TNFR2-mediated signaling and TNFR2 function in immune cells.

TNFR2 function Signaling via TNFR2 Ref.
Effector T-cells Co-stimulation and cell death induction Elicit activation-induced cell death; upregulates the expression of the inhibitory receptor Tim3 (42)
Regulatory T-cells Proliferation, suppressive activity, stability Enhance cell proliferation and stability through signaling pathways such as IKK/NF-κB, mTOR, and MAPK (19, 56, 78)
MDSCs Cell survival, suppressive activity, recruitment Upregulation of cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) and inhibition of caspase-8 activity (79)
Regulatory B-cells Suppressive activity Characterizes TLR9-driven formation of IL-10-producing B cells (80)
Macrophages Production of pro-inflammatory factors Enhance activation of the p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways (25)
NK cells Suppressive activity Activating the BIRC3/TRAF1 signaling pathway (24)
MSCs Proliferation, functional properties, immunosuppressive activity Promotes the expression of immunosuppressive proteins on MSCs (81, 82)
EPCs Survival, differentiation, and immunosuppressive activity Increases the expression of pro-angiogenic mediators such as VEGF, basic fibroblast growth factor, and IL-8; production of different anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10, TGFβ, and HLA-G. (83)
