Mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are innate T lymphocytes that detect a large variety of bacteria and yeasts. This recognition depends on the detection of microbial compounds presented by the evolutionarily conserved major-histocompatibility-complex (MHC) class I molecule, MR1. Here we show that MAIT cells display cytotoxic activity towards MR1 overexpressing non-hematopoietic cells cocultured with bacteria. The NK receptor, CD161, highly expressed by MAIT cells, modulated the cytokine but not the cytotoxic response triggered by bacteria infected cells. MAIT cells are also activated by and kill epithelial cells expressing endogenous levels of MRI after infection with the invasive bacteria Shigella flexneri. In contrast, MAIT cells were not activated by epithelial cells infected by Salmonella enterica Typhimurium. Finally, MAIT cells are activated in human volunteers receiving an attenuated strain of Shigella dysenteriae-1 tested as a potential vaccine. Thus, in humans, MAIT cells are the most abundant T cell subset able to detect and kill bacteria infected cells. Human Mucosa-Associated Invariant T cells (MAIT) detect microbe-derived compounds presented by the MHC-like molecule, MR1. These foreign antigens are produced by a wide variety of microbes, including commensal and pathogenic bacteria or yeasts. MAIT cells expend shortly after birth and constitute the major antibacterial T cell subset described and, hence, could play important roles in infectious diseases. Here we show that MAIT cells recognize epithelial cells infected by the intestinal pathogen Shigella flexneri in a process requiring endogenous MR1, while the closely related bacterium Salmonella Tyhpimurium is not. Upon recognition, infected epithelial cells are efficiently lysed by MAIT cells. We also show that the triggering of CD161, a natural killer receptor highly expressed by MAIT cells, can modulate the cytokine but not the cytotoxic function of these cells. Finally, we provide evidence that MAIT cells are activated during the course of an experimental enteric infection in humans. Our study provides important insight on the antibacterial function of MAIT cells and their interaction with pathogenic bacterial species.
