Cutting Edge

Cutting Edge: Organogenesis of Nasal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (NALT) Occurs Independently of Lymphotoxin-{alpha} (LT{alpha}) and Retinoic Acid Receptor-Related Orphan Receptor-{gamma}, but the Organization of NALT Is LT{alpha} Dependent1

Peyer’s patch and nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) are mucosal lymphoid tissues that appear similar in structure and function. Surprisingly, we found that NALT, unlike Peyer’s patch, was formed independently of lymphotoxin (LT){alpha}. Furthermore, using mice deficient in the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-{gamma}, we found that NALT was formed in the absence of CD4+CD3- cells, which are thought to be the embryonic source of LT{alpha}. However, we also found that NALT of LT{alpha}-/- animals was disorganized and lymphopenic, suggesting that the organization and recruitment of lymphocytes within NALT remained dependent on LT{alpha}. Finally, we demonstrated that both the structure and function of NALT were restored in LT{alpha}-/- animals upon reconstitution with normal bone marrow. These results demonstrate that the organogenesis of NALT occurs through unique mechanisms.
