Central memory T (T-CM) cells patrol lymph nodes and perform conventional memory responses on restimulation: proliferation, migration and differentiation into diverse T cell subsets while also self-renewing. Resident memory T (T-RM) cells are parked within single organs, share properties with terminal effectors and contribute to rapid host protection. We observed that reactivated T-RM cells rejoined the circulating pool. Epigenetic analyses revealed that T-RM cells align closely with conventional memory T cell populations, bearing little resemblance to recently activated effectors. Fully differentiated T-RM cells isolated from small intestine epithelium exhibited the potential to differentiate into T-CM cells, effector memory T cells and T-RM cells on recall. Ex-T-RM cells, former intestinal T-RM cells that rejoined the circulating pool, heritably maintained a predilection for homing back to their tissue of origin on subsequent reactivation and a heightened capacity to redifferentiate into T-RM cells. Thus, T-RM cells can rejoin the circulation but are advantaged to re-form local T-RM when called on.Tissue-resident memory (T-RM) cells are generally stably maintained in discrete tissues or organs. Masopust and colleagues show that T-RM cells can reenter the circulation, and exhibit considerable plasticity, although they retain a proclivity to reestablish themselves in their tissue of origin.
