Human V{gamma}2V{delta}2 T Cells Produce IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha} with an On/Off/On Cycling Pattern in Response to Live Bacterial Products1

Whereas cytokine production in {alpha}{beta} T cells is rapidly regulated by exposure to peptide Ag, the mechanisms regulating cytokine production by {gamma}{delta} T cells are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that human V{gamma}2V{delta}2 T cells produce IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha} as early as 2 h after Ag exposure, and that they produce these cytokines in a dose- and time- dependent manner in response to stimulation with a live bacterial product, iso-butylamine (IBA), but not to dead bacteria or LPS. {gamma}{delta} T cells began, ceased, and then resumed IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha} generation in an on/off/on cycling pattern, both in vitro and in vivo, depending on the presence or absence of IBA. IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha}, whose optimum production was dependent on IBA-stimulated {gamma}{delta} T cells, were critical for monocyte-mediated killing of Escherichia coli. By limiting cytokine production to periods of direct contact with live bacteria, {gamma}{delta} T cells focus their resources at the site of infection, while limiting systemic immunopathology. Thus, human {gamma}{delta} T cells may mediate innate resistance to extracellular bacteria via tightly regulated cytokine production without necessarily expanding in number.
