Pulmonary diseases associated with fibrosis, including scleroderma lung disease, are characterized by accumulation of T cells in the lungs. These cells are thought to facilitate lung fibrosis, but the exact mechanisms of their profibrotic action are not clear. Several αV-containing integrins, including αVβ3 and αVβ5 have been shown to directly activate TGF-β and promote collagen accumulation. Whether pulmonary T cells express profibrotic integrins and regulate collagen accumulation is unknown. Expression of integrins was assessed by immunohistochemistry in the lung tissue and by flow cytometry in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from patients or from a CCL18 overexpression animal model of pulmonary T cell infiltration. Experiments in cell culture tested whether integrin-expressing T cells are profibrotic in co-cultures with pulmonary fibroblasts and through what possible mechanism. Lymphocytes and integrin-positive cells were present in the lungs, and pulmonary T cells expressed integrins αVβ3 and αVβ5, in patients and in the animal model. Systemic administration of neutralizing anti-integrin αV antibody or genetic deficiency of integrin β3 in the CCL18 overexpression model significantly attenuated CCL18-driven pulmonary lymphocytic infiltration and collagen accumulation. Jurkat T cells overexpressing integrin αVβ3 or integrin αVβ5 in co-cultures with primary pulmonary fibroblasts stimulated collagen accumulation and Smad2 nuclear translocation. Neutralizing anti-TGF-β antibody attenuated the profibrotic effect of integrin-expressing T cells. Pulmonary infiltrating T lymphocytes may express integrins αVβ3 and αVβ5 that are necessary for lymphocytic infiltration and T cell-associated TGF-β activation and collagen accumulation.
