We have recently shown that MHC class II-dependent thymocyte–thymocyte (T-T) interaction successfully generates CD4+ T cells (T-T CD4+ T cells), and that T-T CD4+ T cells expressing promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein (PLZF) show an innate property both in mice and humans. In this article, we report that the thymic T-T interaction is essential for the conversion of CD8+ T cells into innate phenotype in the physiological condition. CD8+ T cells developed in the presence of PLZF+ CD4+ T cells showed marked upregulation of eomesodermin (Eomes), activation/memory phenotype, and rapid production of IFN-γ on ex vivo stimulation. Their development was highly dependent on the PLZF expression in T-T CD4+ T cells and the IL-4 secreted by PLZF+ T-T CD4+ T cells. The same events may take place in humans, as a substantial number of Eomes expressing innate CD8+ T cells were found in human fetal thymi and spleens. It suggests that PLZF+ T-T CD4+ T cells in combination with Eomes+ CD8+ T cells might actively participate in the innate immune response against various pathogens, particularly in human perinatal period.
