Mucosal T lymphocytes play an important role in regulating gastrointestinal immune response. This is no trivial task because the intestinal mucosa is the main interface between host tissues and the environment. Discriminating normal bacterial flora and food-related antigens from pathogenic bacteria and toxins is critically important and in large part is regulated by T cells in the mucosa. It has become clear over the last several years that a dysregulated T-cell response plays a pathogenic role in inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal track. Therefore, understanding the signals that control lymphocyte trafficking and activation in the gut is relevant to both host defense and inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal mucosa is unusual in that it contains large populations of T lymphocytes that are distributed diffusely throughout the lamina propria and epithelium. 1, 2 The majority of these T cells are memory cells (CD45RO+) and express receptors (ie, CD25) that indicate recent activation. Thus, intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and lamina propria lymphocytes (LPLs) are believed to be previously activated/memory cells recruited into the intestinal mucosa after activation in gut-associated lymphoid tissue, such as Peyer’s patches. The molecular mechanisms regulating the selective trafficking of these cells from these specialized lymphoid structures, where they recognize and become activated by specific antigens, into the mucosa are not completely understood. Two articles in this issue of GASTROENTER-OLOGY address this important subject. 3, 4 Leukocyte extravasation from the blood into the tissues is a regulated multistep process involving a series of coordinated leukocyte–endothelial cell interactions. 5 Several families of molecular regulators such as the selectins, the integrins, and the chemokines are thought to control different aspects of the process. In the multistep model, leukocyte extravasation begins with leukocyte rolling, a process that is dependent on selectins. Conversion of rolling to firm adherence depends on the activation of leukocyte integrins. Increasing evidence supports a role for chemokines as important activators of leukocyte integrins, thereby providing critical signals determining where, when, and which leukocyte subset will enter a tissue. 6Lymphocytes are migratory cells, which initially traffic from their site of origin in the bone marrow to the thymus, and then continuously recirculate between blood and specialized lymphoid and extralymphoid tissue in the periphery. 7 These naive cells are preprogrammed with a tropism for these secondary lymphoid organs (ie, Peyer’s patches and lymph nodes). However, antigen-specific activation seems to reprogram the trafficking properties of naive T and B cells in the periphery. Memory and effector cells home much more effectively than their naive precursors to extralymphoid sites of tissue inflammation and display striking selectivity for trafficking to the gastrointestinal tract, skin, or other specific organs where the antigenic stimulus arose. This tissue-specific targeting of antigen-reactive populations is thought to increase the efficiency of immune surveillance by circulating memory cells, as well as enhancing local immune responses.
