Objective. The spondyloarthritides (SpA) are a group of rheumatic diseases characterized by ossification and inflammation of entheseal tissue, the region where tendon attaches to bone. Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is involved in the pathogenesis of SpA by acting on IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) expressed on enthesis-resident lymphocytes. Upon IL-23 binding, CD31CD42CD82 tissueresident lymphocytes secrete IL-17A and IL-22, leading to inflammation, bone loss, and ossification. Knowledge about enthesis-resident lymphocytes remains fragmentary, and the contribution of entheseal g/d T cells in particular is not clear. This study was undertaken to investigate the presence of g/d T cells in the enthesis.Methods. We used 2-photon microscopy and flow cytometry to analyze entheseal lymphocytes from C57BL/ 6, Tcrd-H2BeGFP, Rorc-GFP, and IL-23R-eGFP mice. To analyze entheseal g/d T cells in IL-232induced inflammation, Tcrd-H2BeGFP mice were crossed with mice of the susceptible B10.RIII background. Hydrodynamic injection of IL-23 minicircle DNA was performed for overexpression of IL-23 and induction of inflammation. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy was used to visualize arthritic inflammation.
