Survival and Homeostatic Proliferation of Naive Peripheral CD4+ T Cells in the Absence of Self Peptide:MHC Complexes1

Sally R. M. Clarke and Alexander Y. Rudensky2

Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Immunology, University of Washington, School of Medicine, Seattle, WA 98195

TCR-self peptide:MHC interactions play a critical role in thymic positive selection, yet relatively little is known of their function in the periphery. It has been suggested that continued contact with selecting MHC molecules is necessary for long-term peripheral maintenance of naive T cells. More recent studies have also demonstrated a role for specific self peptide:MHC complexes in the homeostatic expansion of naive T cells in lymphopenic mice. Our examination of these processes revealed that, whereas self class II MHC molecules do have a modest effect on long-term survival of individual CD4+ T cells, interactions with specific TCR ligands are not required for peripheral naive CD4+ T cell maintenance. In contrast, selective engagement of TCRs by self-peptide:MHC complexes does promote proliferation of CD4+ T cells under severe lymphopenic conditions, and this division is associated with an activation marker phenotype that is different from that induced by antigenic stimulation. Importantly, however, the ability of naive T cells to divide in response to homeostatic stimuli does not appear to be stringently dependent on TCR-self peptide:MHC interactions. Therefore, these results show that the factors regulating survival and homeostatic expansion of naive T cells in the periphery are not identical. In addition, we provide evidence for a novel form of T cell proliferation that can occur independently of TCR signaling and suggest that this reflects another mechanism regulating homeostatic T cell expansion.
