趋化因子在调节T细胞免疫功能的过程中发挥核心作用,例如它们在淋巴组织内的迁移和炎症部位的病原体靶向。在这里,我们使用多光子显微镜跟踪T细胞,以证明趋化因子CXCL10增强了CD8+ T细胞控制慢性感染小鼠大脑中弓形虫病原体的能力。这种趋化因子以两种不同的方式促进T细胞的功能:它维持大脑中效应T细胞的数量,并在不改变步行统计性质的情况下加快平均迁移速度。值得注意的是,这些统计数据不是布朗式的;相反,大脑中CD8+ T细胞的运动可以用广义的lsamvy walk来描述。根据我们的模型,这一令人惊讶的特征使T细胞能够以比布朗随机漫步者更高的效率找到罕见的目标。因此,CD8+ T细胞的行为类似于从贻贝到海洋捕食者和猴子等生物中报道的lsamvy策略,并且CXCL10帮助T细胞缩短寻找罕见靶标的平均时间。
Chemokines play a central role in regulating processes essential to the immune function of T cells, such as their migration within lymphoid tissues and targeting of pathogens in sites of inflammation. Here we track T cells using multi-photon microscopy to demonstrate that the chemokine CXCL10 enhances the ability of CD8+ T cells to control the pathogen T. gondii in the brains of chronically infected mice. This chemokine boosts T cell function in two different ways: it maintains the effector T cell population in the brain and speeds up the average migration speed without changing the nature of the walk statistics. Remarkably, these statistics are not Brownian; rather, CD8+ T cell motility in the brain is well described by a generalized Lévy walk. According to our model, this surprising feature enables T cells to find rare targets with more than an order of magnitude more efficiency than Brownian random walkers. Thus, CD8+ T cell behavior is similar to Lévy strategies reported in organisms ranging from mussels to marine predators and monkeys, and CXCL10 aids T cells in shortening the average time to find rare targets.
