Summary | BACKGROUND:The goal of the current study was to test the ability of T cells to stimulate allogeneic endothelial cells to express chemokines, particularly the T-cell recruiting factors monokine induced by interferon-gamma (Mig) and inducible protein (IP)-10.METHODS:Lymph node cells from C57BL/6 (H-2b) recipients of C3H (H-2k) skin grafts or from naïve mice were added to monolayers of C3H-derived endothelial cell line 2F-2B. After 5 or 24 hr, the lymph node cells were removed, and RNA was prepared from the endothelial cells and tested by ribonuclease protection assay or Northern blot hybridization for endothelial cell expression of chemokines.RESULTS:Alloantigen-primed T cells induced endothelial cell expression of regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), IP-10, Mig, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta within 5 hr of coculture. In vitro chemotaxis assays demonstrated the production of T-cell chemoattractants by the endothelial cells. With the exception of low levels of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and RANTES, culture with naïve C57BL/6 lymph node T cells did not induce endothelial cell chemokine expression. Alloantigen-primed CD4 T cells induced endothelial expression of IP-10 and RANTES but none of the other chemokines tested, whereas primed CD8 T cells induced all of the chemokines tested. Expression of IP-10 and Mig was not induced when alloantigen-primed T cells from interferon-gamma deficient recipients of C3H skin grafts were cultured with the endothelial cells. This expression was blocked by addition of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 or lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 specific antibodies to the cultures. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate the ability of alloantigen-primed CD8 T cells to quickly and directly stimulate endothelial cells to express and produce chemokines, including those recruiting T cells. |
