The median leukocyte rolling velocity was reduced in L mice and increased in 7 b b 2/2 mice, suggesting that 7 integrins and L-selectin mediate rolling in Peyer’s patch HEV at different velocities. 7/L exhibited both a low rolling flux fraction and low adhesion and had severely reduced Peyer’s patch size and cellularity. The residual rolling in these mice was completely blocked by a P-selectin mAb. A significant P-selectin component was also detected in the other genotypes. Twenty-six percent of B and T lymphocytes isolated from Peyer’s patches of wild-type mice expressed functional b 2/2 ligands for P-selectin, and this fraction was increased to 57% in 7/L mice. Peyer’s patch HEV were found to express P-selectin under the conditions of intravital microscopy, but not in situ. Our data suggest a novel P-selectin dependent mechanism of http://www.jimmunol.org/ b lymphocyte homing to Peyer’s patches.

  • In Sickness and in Health: the Immunological Roles of the Lymphatic System
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review In Sickness and in Health: The Immunological Roles of the Lymphatic System Louise A. Johnson MRC Human Immunology Unit, MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DS, UK; [email protected] Abstract: The lymphatic system plays crucial roles in immunity far beyond those of simply providing conduits for leukocytes and antigens in lymph fluid. Endothelial cells within this vasculature are dis- tinct and highly specialized to perform roles based upon their location. Afferent lymphatic capillaries have unique intercellular junctions for efficient uptake of fluid and macromolecules, while expressing chemotactic and adhesion molecules that permit selective trafficking of specific immune cell subsets. Moreover, in response to events within peripheral tissue such as inflammation or infection, soluble factors from lymphatic endothelial cells exert “remote control” to modulate leukocyte migration across high endothelial venules from the blood to lymph nodes draining the tissue. These immune hubs are highly organized and perfectly arrayed to survey antigens from peripheral tissue while optimizing encounters between antigen-presenting cells and cognate lymphocytes. Furthermore, subsets of lymphatic endothelial cells exhibit differences in gene expression relating to specific func- tions and locality within the lymph node, facilitating both innate and acquired immune responses through antigen presentation, lymph node remodeling and regulation of leukocyte entry and exit. This review details the immune cell subsets in afferent and efferent lymph, and explores the mech- anisms by which endothelial cells of the lymphatic system regulate such trafficking, for immune surveillance and tolerance during steady-state conditions, and in response to infection, acute and Citation: Johnson, L.A.

  • T-Cell Trafficking Facilitated by High Endothelial Venules Is Required for Tumor Control After Regulatory T-Cell Depletion
    Published OnlineFirst September 7, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-1912 Cancer Microenvironment and Immunology Research T-Cell Trafficking Facilitated by High Endothelial Venules Is Required for Tumor Control after Regulatory T-Cell Depletion James P. Hindley1, Emma Jones1, Kathryn Smart1, Hayley Bridgeman1, Sarah N. Lauder1, Beatrice Ondondo1, Scott Cutting1, Kristin Ladell1, Katherine K. Wynn1, David Withers2, David A. Price1, Ann Ager1, Andrew J. Godkin1, and Awen M. Gallimore1 Abstract The evolution of immune blockades in tumors limits successful antitumor immunity, but the mechanisms underlying this process are not fully understood. Depletion of regulatory T cells (Treg), a T-cell subset that dampens excessive inflammatory and autoreactive responses, can allow activation of tumor-specific T cells. However, cancer immunotherapy studies have shown that a persistent failure of activated lymphocytes to infiltrate tumors remains a fundamental problem. In evaluating this issue, we found that despite an increase in T- cell activation and proliferation following Treg depletion, there was no significant association with tumor growth rate. In contrast, there was a highly significant association between low tumor growth rate and the extent of T-cell infiltration. Further analyses revealed a total concordance between low tumor growth rate, high T-cell infiltration, and the presence of high endothelial venules (HEV). HEV are blood vessels normally found in secondary lymphoid tissue where they are specialized for lymphocyte recruitment. Thus, our findings suggest that Treg depletion may promote HEV neogenesis, facilitating increased lymphocyte infiltration and destruction of the tumor tissue. These findings are important as they point to a hitherto unidentified role of Tregs, the manipulation of which may refine strategies for more effective cancer immunotherapy.

Ruddle* Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases, School of Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA High endothelial venules (HEVs) and lymphatic vessels (LVs) are essential for the function of the immune system, by providing communication between the body and lymph nodes (LNs), specialized sites of antigen presentation and recognition. HEVs bring in naïve and central memory cells and LVs transport antigen, antigen-presenting cells, and lymphocytes in and out of LNs. Tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) are accumulations of lymphoid and stromal cells that arise and organize at ectopic sites in response to chronic inflammation in autoimmunity, microbial infection, graft rejection, and cancer. TLOs are distinguished from primary lymphoid organs – the thymus and bone marrow, and secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) – the LNs, spleen, and Peyer’s patches, in that Edited by: they arise in response to inflammatory signals, rather than in ontogeny.

  • Hevs, Lymphatics and Homeostatic Immune Cell Trafficking in Lymph Nodes
    REVIEWS HEVs, lymphatics and homeostatic immune cell trafficking in lymph nodes Jean-Philippe Girard1,2, Christine Moussion1,2,3* and Reinhold Förster4 Abstract | In search of foreign antigens, lymphocytes recirculate from the blood, through lymph nodes, into lymphatics and back to the blood. Dendritic cells also migrate to lymph nodes for optimal interaction with lymphocytes. This continuous trafficking of immune cells into and out of lymph nodes is essential for immune surveillance of foreign invaders. In this article, we review our current understanding of the functions of high endothelial venules (HEVs), stroma and lymphatics in the entry, positioning and exit of immune cells in lymph nodes during homeostasis, and we highlight the unexpected role of dendritic cells in the control of lymphocyte homing through HEVs. Lymph The trafficking of immune cells in lymph nodes has a of B and T cells (as well as DCs) are regulated by the Interstitial protein-poor aqueous crucial role in immunity. The hundreds of lymph nodes chemokine ligands CC-chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21), fluid in the extravascular space (~450) that are dispersed in the human body are essential CCL19 and CXC-chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) that that is channelled in lymphatic for the encounter of circulating naive lymphocytes with are produced by fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in the vessels and returned to the follicular dendritic cells circulation via the thoracic duct. antigens and antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic T cell areas and by (FDCs) in the cells (DCs), which drain from peripheral tissues through B cell follicles9–12. If lymphocytes do not recognize their interstitial fluids (lymph).
