Previous work has shown that ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury (IRI) is dependent on CD4+ T cells from naive mice acting within 24 h. We hypothesize that NKT cells are key participants in the early innate response in IRI. Kidneys from C57BL/6 mice were subjected to IRI (0.5, 1, 3, and 24 h of reperfusion). After 30 min of reperfusion, we observed a significant increase in CD4+ cells (145% of control) from single-cell kidney suspensions as measured by flow cytometry. A significant fraction of CD4+ T cells expressed the activation marker, CD69+, and adhesion molecule, LFA-1high. Three hours after reperfusion, kidney IFN-{gamma}-producing cells were comprised largely of GR-1+CD11b+ neutrophils, but also contained CD1d-restricted NKT cells. Kidney IRI in mice administered Abs to block CD1d, or deplete NKT cells or in mice deficient of NKT cells (J{alpha}18–/–), was markedly attenuated. These effects were associated with a significant decrease in renal infiltration and, in activation of NKT cells, and a decrease in IFN-{gamma}-producing neutrophils. The results support the essential role of NKT cells and neutrophils in the innate immune response of renal IRI by mediating neutrophil infiltration and production of IFN-{gamma}.
