Effector-T-cell-mediated immunity depends on the efficient localization of antigen-primed lymphocytes to antigen-rich non-lymphoid tissue, which is facilitated by the expression of a unique set of “homing” receptors acquired by memory T cells. We report that engagement of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor c-Met by heart-produced HGF during priming in the lymph nodes instructs T cell cardiotropism, which was associated with a specialized homing “signature” (c-Met+CCR4+CXCR3+). c-Met signals facilitated T cell recruitment to the heart via the chemokine receptor CCR5 by inducing autocrine CCR5 ligand release. c-Met triggering was sufficient to support cardiotropic T cell recirculation, while CCR4 and CXCR3 sustained recruitment during heart inflammation. Transient pharmacological blockade of c-Met during T cell priming led to enhanced survival of heart, but not skin, allografts associated with impaired localization of alloreactive T cells to heart grafts. These findings suggest c-Met as a target for development of organ-selective immunosuppressive therapies. HGF-induced c-Met signals during activation induce cardiotropic memory T cells Cardiotropic T cells express a specific molecular signature (c-Met+CCR4+CXCR3+) By inducing an autocrine chemokine loop, c-Met also promotes T cell recruitment Blockade of the HGF-c-Met axis prevents heart, but not skin, allograft rejection Understanding the signals that imprint tissue-specific immune cell homing might result in novel approaches to target inflammatory disease. Marelli-Berg and colleagues report that hepatocyte growth factor binding to its receptor c-Met instructs T cell homing to the heart, and pharmacological blockade of c-Met prevents T-cell-mediated inflammation in the heart but not the skin.
