Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are very unique in the intestinal immune system. They include γδT cells and CD4–CD8–TCRαβ+T cells (double negative: DNT), both of which are specific for the intestine, in addition to CD4+and CD8+T cells. IELs exist within the monolayer of the intestinal epithelial cells and dynamically move between lamina propria (LP) and intraepithelial (IE) region. The localization and movement patterns of IEL subsets and the regulatory factors have been unknown. Here, we developed a novel in vitro live imaging system and quantified the motility and morphological changes among subsets of IELs. We identified CD8αα as the key regulatory factor. IELs, especially γδ and DNT cells, showed amoeboid shape and frequent morphological change, while most T cells in MLN or SP showed round shape in vitro. TCR signal, IL-15, gut microbes, CCL25, and integrin αEβ7 expression were non-essential for IEL movement in vitro. CD8αα+cells showed higher motility and larger morphological changes than CD8αα–cells. Adoptive transferred CD8αα+CD4-IELs localized to IE region of recipient NSG mice, while CD8αα–CD4-IELs localized to the LP. Our results showed that the CD8αα/TL signal is essential for the localization of IELs to IE region in vivo. CD8αα/TL may be an effective target to increase the number of IELs, which protects against intestinal infection, allergy, tumorigenesis or inflammation.
