Chemokines and their receptors play a critical role in the
selective attraction of various subsets of leukocytes. We examined the
chemokine receptor expressions and responsiveness of cord blood (CB) T
cells. Flow-cytometric analysis revealed that peripheral blood (PB) T
cells expressed CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-5, CCR-6, CXC chemokine receptor-3
(CXCR-3), and CXCR-4, while CB T cells expressed only CXCR-4 on their
surface. Chemotactic migratory response of CB T cells to
macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1
, monocyte chemoattractant
protein-1, RANTES, MIP-3
, monokine induced by IFN-
, and
IFN-
-inducible protein-10 was significantly impaired compared with
those of PB T cells. In contrast, the ability of CB T cells to migrate
to MIP-3
, 6Ckine, and stromal cell-derived factor-1
was greater
than that of PB T cells, and these events were correlated with the
expression levels of CCR-7 and CXCR-4, respectively. Engagement of CD3
and CD28 specifically up-regulated CXCR-3 expression and chemotaxis to
monokine induced by IFN-
and IFN-
-inducible protein-10, whereas
this stimulation down-regulated CCR-7 expression and chemotaxis to
MIP-3
and 6Ckine in PB T cells, but not in CB T cells. These results
suggest that PB T cells and CB T cells exhibit distinct chemokine
responsiveness via different chemokine receptor
repertoire.
