A killer T lymphocyte must both seek and destroy transformed cells within cancerous tissue in order to eliminate a tumor. Although lymphocytes are constitutively non-adherent cells, they undergo facultative polarity during migration and upon interaction with cells presenting cognate antigen, suggesting that lymphocyte polarity might be critical for tumor cell rejection. Using two-photon imaging of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes, we found that CD44, a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins and glycosaminoglycans, is crucial for interstitial navigation within tumors as well as efficiency of target cell screening. CD44 functions as a critical regulator of intra-tumoral movement by stabilizing cell polarity in migrating T cells. Stable anterior-posterior asymmetry is maintained by CD44 independently of its extracellular domain. Instead, migratory polarity depends on the recruitment of ERM-proteins by the intracellular domain of CD44 to the posterior cellular protrusion. These data provide evidence that facultative polarity mediated by CD44 is a key regulator of killer T cell migration and navigation, and that even moderate disturbances in the ability to seek out transformed cells have profound effects on the capacity to ultimately reject tumors.
