IL-6 is a critical driver of acute and chronic inflammation, and has been reported to act as a T cell survival factor. The influence of IL-6 on T cell homeostasis is not well resolved. We demonstrate that IL-6 signaling drives T cell expansion under inflammatory conditions, but not during normal homeostasis. During inflammation, IL-6Rα-deficient T cells are unable to effectively compete with wild type T cells. IL-6 promotes T cell proliferation, and this is associated with low-level expression of the RORγt transcription factor. T cells upregulate Rorc mRNA at levels substantially diminished from that seen in Th17 cells. Blockade of RORγt through genetic knock-out or a small molecule inhibitor leads to T cell expansion defects comparable to those in IL-6Rα-deficient T cells. Our results indicate that IL-6 plays a key role in T cell expansion during inflammation, and implicates a role for the transient induction of low-level RORγt.
