Abstract:
:Mice lacking suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) accumulate CD8(+) T lymphocytes in the thymus and in the periphery. Whereas IL-7 and IL-15 promote the generation of CD8 single positive (SP) thymocytes, IL-15 drives the expansion of CD8 T cells in the periphery. Here, we investigated whether increased production of CD8 SP thymocytes is accompanied by their increased export in SOCS1-deficient mice. In vivo labeling with bromodeoxyuridine showed increased cycling of CD8 SP thymocytes in SOCS1-deficient mice. However, SOCS1-deficient thymi contained increased proportion of CD24(lo)CD69(lo) SP thymocytes as well as increased expression of Qa-2 in both CD4 and CD8 SP compartments. Analysis of recent thymic emigrants (RTE) following intrathymic labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate revealed less efficient export of CD8 RTEs from SOCS1-deficient thymi and comparable CD4:CD8 ratio among RTEs in SOCS1-null and control mice. These findings show that the rate of export of CD8 SP thymocytes is not proportional to their generation in SOCS1-deficient thymi and suggest the existence of homeostatic mechanisms controlling the egress of CD8 T cells.
