Lymphocyte recruitment maintains intestinal immune homeostasis but also contributes to inflammation. The orphan chemoattractant receptor GPR15 mediates regulatory T cell homing and immunosuppression in the mouse colon. We show that GPR15 is also expressed by mouse TH17 and TH1 effector cells, and is required for colitis in a model that depends on their trafficking to the colon. In humans GPR15 is expressed by effector cells including pathogenic TH2 cells in ulcerative colitis, but is not expressed by regulatory T (Treg) cells. The TH2 transcriptional activator GATA-3 and the Treg–associated transcriptional repressor FOXP3 robustly bind human, but not mouse, GPR15 enhancer sequences, correlating with expression. Our results highlight species differences in GPR15 regulation, and suggest it as a potential therapeutic target for colitis.
