✦ Synopsis

The integrin alpha4beta7 binds to MAdCAM-1 and contributes to homing of lymphocytes to gut and other mucosal tissues. In humans, the alpha4beta7(hi) subset of circulating memory cells appears to have been primed in mucosal tissues. The factors that determine whether alpha4beta7(lo) naive cells become alpha4beta(hi) or alpha4beta7(-) cells upon differentiation are poorly understood but could include an influence of the activating antigen-presenting cell. To address this point, the induction of alpha4beta7 following activation of mouse cells with the APC-dependent stimulus soluble anti-CD3 has been examined. Almost all mouse T cells freshly isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and peripheral (PLN; axillary, brachial and inguinal) lymph nodes stained only weakly for alpha4beta7 but a subpopulation became alpha4beta7(hi) upon activation with anti-CD3 in a cell cycle- and accessory cell-dependent manner. A small proportion (approximately 1.5 %) of the starting cells gave rise to alpha4beta7(hi) cells after culture. A higher proportion of alpha4beta7(hi) cells were generated in MLN than PLN cultures. Peyer's patch cultures gave intermediate values. In crossover experiments, MLN dendritic cells (DC) induced higher proportions and numbers of alpha4beta7(hi) cells than PLN DC irrespective of the source of T cells. Therefore, in addition to their other immunoregulatory roles, DC have the potential to shape immune responses by influencing the homing of the lymphocytes they activate.
