Notch ligands present during interactions between T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) dictate cell phenotype through a myriad of effects including the induction of T cell regulation, survival, and cytokine response. The presence of Notch ligands on DCs varies with the context of the inflammatory response; Jagged-1 is constitutively expressed, whereas Delta-like 1 and Delta-like 4 are induced in response to pathogen exposure. Although Delta-like and Jagged ligands send different signals through the same Notch receptor, the role of these two ligands in peripheral T cell immunity is not clear. The goal of our studies was to determine the role of Jagged-1 in the pathogen-free inflammation induced by OVA during allergic airway disease in mice. Our studies show that a deletion in DC-expressed Jagged-1 causes a significant increase in cytokine production, resulting in increased mucus production and increased eosinophilia in the lungs of mice sensitized and challenged with OVA. We also observed that a reduction of Jagged-1 expression is correlated with increased expression of the Notch 1 receptor on the surface of CD4+ T cells in both the lung and lymph node. Through transfer studies using OT-II transgenic T cells, we demonstrate that Jagged-1 represses the expansion of CD44+CD62L+CCR7+ memory cells and promotes the expansion of CD44+CD62L− effector cells, but it has no effect on the expansion of naive cells during allergic airway disease. These data suggest that Jagged-1 may have different roles in Ag-specific T cell responses, depending on the maturity of the stimulated T cell.
