“…Due to specialized patterns of antigen recognition and activation [23], cdT cells are capable of fast and vigorous responses to various pathogens. Conventional abT lymphocytes need 5-7 days to manifest their cytotoxic activity [3,5] and thus it is not surprising that self-tolerant clones of circulating abT lymphocytes did not recognize autologous PMN as targets.…”

During inflammation and sepsis, accumulation of activated neutrophils causes lung tissue damage and organ failure. Effective clearance of neutrophils reduces the risk of organ failure; however, its mechanisms are poorly understood. Because lungs are rich in cdT cells, we investigated the physiological role of these cells in the protection of lung tissue from infiltrating neutrophils. In a mouse model of sepsis, we found that the lungs of survivors contained significantly higher numbers of cdT cells than those of mice that died from sepsis. The number of cdT cells correlated inversely with the number of neutrophils in the lungs and with the degree of lung tissue damage. LPS rapidly elicited the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 on the surface of human neutrophils. Inhibitors of transcription, protein synthesis, and intracellular protein transport blocked HSP72 expression, indicating that de novo synthesis is required. cdT cells targeted and rapidly killed LPS-treated neutrophils through direct cell-to-cell contact. Pre-treatment with neutralizing antibodies to HSP72 diminished neutrophil killing. Our data indicate that HSP72 expression on the cell surface predisposes inflamed neutrophils to killing by cdT cells. This intercellular exchange may allow cdT cells to resolve inflammation and limit host tissue damage during sepsis.

Herein, we provide evidence that during allergic inflammation, CCL25 induces the selective migration of IL-17 + γδ T cells mediated by α 4 β 7 integrin. Intrapleural injection of CCL25 into ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized C57BL/6 mice triggered the accumulation of γδ T lymphocytes expressing CCR9 (CCL25 receptor) and α 4 β 7 integrin in the pleura, but failed to attract αβ T lymphocytes. CCL25 attracted CCR6 + γδ T cells producing IL-17 (but not IFN-γ or IL-4). OVA challenge triggered increased production of CCL25 followed by the accumulation of CCR9 + , α 4 β 7 + , and CCR6 + /IL-17 + γδ T cells into the pleural cavities of OVA-immunized mice, which was inhibited by the in vivo neutralization of CCL25. The in vivo blockade of α 4 β 7 integrin also inhibited the migration of IL-17 + γδ T lymphocytes (but not of αβ T lymphocytes) into mouse pleura after OVA challenge, suggesting that the CCL25/α 4 β 7 integrin pathway is selective for γδ T cells. In addition, α 4 β 7 integrin blockade impaired the in vitro transmigration of γδ T cells across endothelium (which expresses α 4 β 7 ligands VCAM-1 and MadCAM-1), which was induced by CCL25 and by cell-free pleural washes recovered from OVA-challenged mice. Our results reveal that during an allergic reaction, CCL25 drives IL-17 + γδ T-cell mobilization to inflamed tissue via α 4 β 7 integrin and modulates IL-17 levels.

CCL25 is mostly described as a homeostatic chemokine that plays a major role in T-cell development in the thymus and in intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) homing into small intestine mucosa [12]. Recent data have provided evidence that CCL25 production increases during inflammatory processes that take place at nonmucosal tissues, such as autoimmune arthritis, atherosclerosis, and allergy [11,13,14]. Moreover, we and others have shown that γδ T lymphocytes migrate in vitro toward CCL25, via its counterpart receptor CCR9 [11,...

Germ‐line and rearranged Tcrd transcription distinguish bona fide NK cells and NK‐like γδ T cells

NK cells and cd T cells are distinct subsets of lymphocytes that contextually share multiple phenotypic and functional characteristics. However, the acquisition and the extent of these similarities remain poorly understood. Here, using T cell receptor d locus-histone 2B-enhanced GFP (Tcrd-H2BEGFP) reporter mice, we show that germline transcription of Tcrd occurs in all maturing NK cells. We also describe a population of mouse NK-like cells that are indistinguishable from "bona fide" NK cells using standard protocols. Requirements for V(D)J recombination and a functional thymus, along with very low-level expression of surface TCRcd but high intracellular CD3, define these cells as cd T cells. "NK-like cd T cells" are CD127 + , have a memory-activated phenotype, express multiple NK cell receptors and readily produce interferon-c in response to IL-12/IL-18 stimulation. The close phenotypic resemblance between NK cells and NK-like cd T cells is a source of experimental ambiguity in studies bridging NK and T cell biology, such as those on thymic NK cell development. Instead, it ascribes chronic TCRcd engagement as a means of acquiring NK-like function. IntroductionClassification of NK cells and some cd T cell subsets as innate immune cells is argued by their recognition and response to self ligands and microbial molecules without any requirement for prior specific immunization [1][2][3][4][5]. NK cells are mediators of immunity against various infectious diseases and tumor cells, performing direct cell-mediated cytotoxicity and producing cytokines in response to cell-associated and soluble stimuli [6,7]. They additionally shape adaptive immune responses, mainly through the production of cytokines [8]. Their activation is regulated through germ-line-encoded receptors including NKG2D, the natural cytotoxicity receptors and inhibitory receptors for MHC class I, many of which recognize self-encoded ligands [9][10][11]. Most cd T cell subsets are unconventional T cells that -similar to CD1d-restricted Va14i NKT cells, MR1-restricted MAIT cells and certain populations of CD8 + T cells -are not restricted to classical MHC class I-or MHC class II-bearing specific peptides [2,3]. They have heterogeneous effector functions associated with differential TCRcd usage. Roles have been described in immunity against infectious pathogens and tumors [12] and cd T cells have been strongly implicated in immunosuppressive regulation of the immune system and in the process of wound healing [13,14]. Using TCR transfer experiments, or direct ligand binding, TCRcd ligands have been described for a small number of subsets [5]. In the mouse, cd T cell subsets recognize the non-classical MHC class I molecules T10/T22 [15], and an unknown ligand expressed by keratinocytes [16]. In humans, some Vd1 cd T cells recognize non-classical MHC class I molecules MICA and MICB, and Vc9Vd2 cd T cells have been reported to recognize self and bacterial phosphoantigens, and a complex formed between F1-ATP synthase and apolipoprotein A-1 [5,[17][18][19][20].Du...
