Mice Lacking Expression of Secondary Lymphoid Organ Chemokine Have Defects in Lymphocyte Homing and Dendritic Cell Localization

Abstract: Secondary lymphoid organ chemokine (SLC) is expressed in high endothelial venules and in T cell zones of spleen and lymph nodes (LNs) and strongly attracts naive T cells. In mice homozygous for the paucity of lymph node T cell (plt) mutation, naive T cells fail to home to LNs or the lymphoid regions of spleen. Here we demonstrate that expression of SLC is undetectable in plt mice. In addition to the defect in T cell homing, we demonstrate that dendritic cells (DCs) fail to accumulate in spleen and LN T cell zo… Show more

“…In contrast, antigen encounter by naïve CD4 cells on B cells results in the induction of tolerance [29]. In vivo, a highly developed lymphoid architecture along with defined migration pathways ascertain the encounter of naïve CD4 cells with the proper APC [30][31][32]. For CD8 cells, chemokines have recently been shown to play a critical role in attracting the few antigen-specific naïve cells to the site of DC-CD4 cell interaction in lymph nodes [33].…”

“…[26][27][28] One of the best candidates for chemokines is CCL21, which has been proposed to play a role in favoring the interactions between DCs and T cells in secondary lymphoid organs through CCR7 receptor. 4,7,9,29 In fact, mice deficient in the expression of CCL21 showed defects in lymphocyte homing and DC localization, 30 and mice lacking CCR7 receptor also had defects in lymph node architecture. 31 Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that CCL21 could participate itself in lymphoid tissue development and organization in a transgenic model where the CCL21 gene was expressed in pancreatic islets.…”

“…Surprisingly, observations made J. Cyster and collaborators discovered that intrinsic LTβR signaling in hematopoietic cells provided trophic signals necessary for the proliferation CD8α− DC subsets in spleen and lymph node, independent of chemokine expression [18,19]. Moreover, the number of DC in plt (paucity of lymph node T cells) mice, lacking both CCL19 and CCL21 chemokines, was comparable to wild-type mice and required LTβR signaling [20]. The lack of TNF, which also decreases the expression of CXCL13, does not alter DC subsets in vivo, but participates in DC generation from bone marrow precursor cells in GM-CSF cultures suggesting the role played by TNF is redundant in vivo [16].…”
