Role of β7 Integrins in Intestinal Lymphocyte Homing and Retention

Abstract: Lymphocytes involved in intestinal immune response are found in organized immune inductive sites of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) such as Peyer’s patches (PP), mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and diffuse effector sites of gut epithelium and lamina propria (LP). β7 integrins are responsible for efficient trafficking and retention of lymphocytes in these sites. Naïve and effector lymphocytes use α4β7 integrin to extravasate from blood to gut mucosal tissues of GALT, MLN and LP via interactions with Muc… Show more

“…3A). β7 integrin is a cell adhesion molecule that is important in mediating efficient homing and retention of lymphocytes into the gut (28). Higher expression of β7 integrin on the surface of D7 TEC s agrees with our earlier observation that D7 TEC s traffic more efficiently to the gut than D7 HC s, suggesting that these two phenotypically distinct T-cell subsets might play distinct immunological roles.…”

“…a E (CD103)b 7 is widely expressed by intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in the skin and gut mucosa (24,25) and is thought to mediate the retention of T cells in relevant peripheral tissues by binding to E-cadherin expressed on the surface of epithelial cells (26). a E (CD103)b 7 has also been shown to enhance the cytolytic activity of T cells against E-cadherinexpressing tumor cells in vitro (27)(28)(29).…”
