Homeostatic regulation of intestinal epithelia by intraepithelial gamma delta T cells
摘要:
Although T cells bearing γδ T-cell receptors have long been known to be present in the epithelial lining of many organs, their specificity and function remain elusive. In the present study, we examined the intestinal epithelia of T-cell-receptor mutant mice, which were deficient in either γδ T cells or αβ T cells, and of normal littermates. The absence of γδ T cells was associated with a reduction in epithelial cell turnover and a downregulation of the expression of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. No such effects were observed in αβ T-cell-deficient mice. These findings indicate that intraepithelial γδ T cells regulate the generation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells.
