The gut epithelium is populated by intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), a heterogeneous T cell population with cytotoxic and regulatory properties, which can be acquired at the epithelial layer. However, the role of T cell receptor (TCR) in this process remains unclear. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct clonal expansions between cell states, with CD4+CD8αα+ IELs being one of the least diverse populations. Conditional deletion of TCR on differentiating CD4+ T cells or of MHCII on intestinal epithelial cells prevented CD4+CD8αα+ IEL differentiation. However, TCR ablation on differentiated CD4+CD8αα+ IELs, or long-term cognate antigen withdraw, did not affect their maintenance. TCR re-engagement of antigen-specific CD4+CD8αα+ IELs by Listeria monocytogenes did not alter their state but correlated with reduced bacterial invasion. Thus, local antigen recognition is an essential signal for differentiation of CD4+ T cells at the epithelium yet differentiated IELs are able to preserve an effector program in the absence of TCR signaling. Immune cell adaptation to the harsh intestinal environment is key for healthy gut maintenance. Bilate et al. showed that a subpopulation of intraepithelial lymphocytes is clonally expanded and depends on antigen receptor signaling for their differentiation. Once differentiated, these cells can thrive without antigen, highlighting the ability of these cells to maintain function under different contexts.
