Macrophages play a central role in host defense against mycobacterial infection and anti- TNF therapy is associated with granuloma disorganization and reactivation of tuberculosis in humans. Here, we provide evidence for the presence of a T cell receptor (TCR) αβ based recombinatorial immune receptor in subpopulations of human and mouse monocytes and macrophages. In vitro, we find that the macrophage-TCRαβ induces the release of CCL2 and modulates phagocytosis. TNF blockade suppresses macrophage-TCRαβ expression. Infection of macrophages from healthy individuals with mycobacteria triggers formation of clusters that express restricted TCR Vβ repertoires. In vivo, TCRαβ bearing macrophages abundantly accumulate at the inner host-pathogen contact zone of caseous granulomas from patients with lung tuberculosis. In chimeric mouse models, deletion of the variable macrophage-TCRαβ or TNF is associated with structurally compromised granulomas of pulmonary tuberculosis even in the presence of intact T cells. These results uncover a TNF-regulated recombinatorial immune receptor in monocytes/macrophages and demonstrate its implication in granuloma formation in tuberculosis. Infection with mycobacteria results in a host response which results in the formation of granulomas, highly organized structures characterized by the presence of macrophages, which are considered to rely solely on invariant immune receptors. On the other hand, the presence of variable immune receptors is required for granuloma formation but this process is not solely dependent on T cells. Furthermore, TNF is required for the maintenance of the mycobacterial granuloma structure in humans. We now find evidence for subpopulations of human and mouse macrophages that express variable αβ T cell receptors (TCRαβ). Engagement of the macrophage-TCRαβ triggers CCL2 release and phagocytosis of baits directed to this receptor is enhanced. TCRαβ bearing macrophages accumulate in human tuberculosis granulomas and anti-TNF treatment of macrophages results in downregulation of the TCRαβ, which is associated with caspase 3 cleavage and suppression of TCRξ. Anti-TNF treatment reduces mycobacteria induced cluster formation of TCRαβ positive macrophages, which is in line with reduced granuloma formation in rag1–/–(T cell rag1+/+) and TNF–/–(T cell TNF+/+) chimeric mice. Consequently, both chimeras show reduced CCL2 staining after mycobacterial infection. In summary, we have identified a recombinatorial immunoreceptor in monocytes/macrophages and demonstrate its implication in mycobacterial infection.
