Interleukin (IL)-2 receptor subunit gamma (IL2RG), a common receptor for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21, has been shown to interrupt estrous cycle, yet its role in PCOS remains unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The evaluated expression levels of IL2RG in human granulosa cells (GCs) and IL2RG-dependent cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-15) in follicular fluid were demonstrated in 18 PCOS patients and 22 control subjects. The positive correlation between IL2RG and PCOS was analysed through GEO databases. In vivo, we found that in the PCOS model (6\u00a0mg\/100\u00a0g body-weight of dehydroepiandrosterone subcutaneous injection for 21 days), the ovarian index, testosterone, glucose, and LH\/FSH levels were elevated, and the estrous cycle was disrupted. Knocking down IL2RG (KO) restored the above levels. However, in the dehydroepiandrosterone-treated group, these levels did not recover even after IL2RG was knocked-down. The decreased expression of Gasdermin E (GSDME) but increased caspase-3 level in IL2RG KO rats compared with WT were found. In vitro, knockdown of IL2RG by siRNA inhibited caspase-3-mediated GSDME cleavage in testosterone-induced KGN cells. Furthermore, the caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK and the caspase-1 inhibitor Belnacasan alleviated pyroptosis in testosterone-induced KGN cells by lactate dehydrogenase test, fluorescence assay, and flow cytometry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IL2RG is expressed higher in PCOS patients, exerting an inhibitory effect on caspase-3-mediated GSDME cleavage upon knockdown. However, the knockout of IL2RG led to the conversion of GSDME-mediated pyroptosis into apoptosis.
