Abstract
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is mutated in the severe immunodeficiency disease Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). The function of B cells and the physiologic alterations in WAS remain unclear. We show that B cells from WAS patients exhibited decreased motility and had reduced capacity to migrate, adhere homotypically, and form long protrusions after in vitro culture. WASp-deficient murine B cells also migrated less well to chemokines. Upon antigen challenge, WASp-deficient mice mounted a reduced and delayed humoral immune response to both T-cell-dependent and -independent antigens. This was at least in part due to deficient migration and homing of B cells. In addition, the germinal center reaction was reduced in WASp-deficient mice. Thus, WASp is crucial for optimal B-cell responses and plays a pivotal role in the primary humoral immune response.

Abstract
Background There are three major B-cell compartments in peripheral lymphoid organs: the germinal center (GC), the mantle zone (MNZ) and the marginal zone (MGZ). Unique sets of B-cells reside in these compartments, and they have specific functional roles in humoral immune response. MNZ B cells are naïve cells in a quiescent state and may participate in GC reactions upon proper stimulation. The adult splenic MGZ contains mostly memory B cells and is also known to provide a rapid response to particulate antigens. The GC B-cells proliferate rapidly and undergo selection and affinity maturation. The B-cell maturational process is accompanied by changes in the expression of cell-surface and intracellular proteins and requires signals from the specialized microenvironments. Results We performed laser microdissection of the three compartments for gene expression profiling by cDNA microarray. The transcriptional program of the GC was dominated by upregulation of genes associated with proliferation and DNA repair or recombination. The MNZ and MGZ showed increased expression of genes promoting cellular quiescence. The three compartments also revealed distinct repertoires of apoptosis-associated genes, chemokines and chemokine receptors. The MNZ and GC showed upregulation of CCL20 and CCL18 respectively. The MGZ was characterized by high expression of many chemokines genes e.g. CXCL12, CCL3, CCL14 and IFN-associated genes, consistent with its role in rapid response to infections. A stromal signature was identified including genes associated with macrophages or with synthesis of extracellular matrix and genes that influenced lymphocyte migration and survival. Differentially expressed genes that did not belong to the above categories include the well characterized BCL6 and CD10 and many others whose function is not known. Conclusions Transcriptional profiling of B-cell compartments has identified groups of genes involved in critical molecular and cellular events that affect proliferation, survival migration, and differentiation of the cells. The gene expression study of normal B-cell compartments may additionally contribute to our understanding of the molecular abnormalities of the corresponding lymphoid tumors.

Abstract
A central feature of the immune response is the precise spatio-temporal convergence of T cells and antigen presenting cells (APC) in particular microenvironments within secondary lymphoid organs (SLO). CCR7 and its ligands CCL19 and CCL21 have been identified as the gatekeepers for both naïve T lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DC) to these defined anatomical compartments. A new perception on the regulation of lymphocyte traffic in lymph nodes (LN) has come from observations that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonists affect T cell entry and exit from these organs. Recent developments in intravital microscopy (IVM) techniques reveal unexpected autonomous random motion of lymphocytes within secondary lymphoid tissues, and provoke questions about the mechanisms that guide their compartmental navigation.

Abstract
Immune responses require the orchestrated migration of T cells throughout the body. Conventional CD4+ and CD8+ alphabeta T cells undergo clonal expansion in the secondary lymphoid tissues, during which they are programmed to migrate into specific non-lymphoid tissues and other lymphoid effector sites such as B cell follicles. By contrast, T cell populations expressing receptors with limited diversity (i.e. gammadelta T cells and NK T cells) appear to be preprogrammed to localize in non-lymphoid tissues where they monitor tissue integrity or serve regulatory functions. By promoting chemotaxis and integrin activation, chemokines and their receptors (in conjunction with surface adhesion molecules) control these T cell homing events. Thus, expression of chemokine receptors defines T cells with tropism for particular tissues and/or microenvironments, and identifies T cell subsets with distinct functional properties.

Abstract
T cell differentiation in the adult thymus depends on sequential interactions between lymphoid progenitors and stromal cells found in distinct regions of the cortex and medulla. Therefore, migration of T cell progenitors through distinct stromal environments seems to be a crucial process regulating differentiation and homeostasis inside the thymus. Here we show that CCR7-deficient mice are distinguished by a disturbed thymic architecture, impaired T cell development, and decreased numbers of the thymocytes. Analysis of developing double negative (CD4−CD8−) pool of wild-type thymus reveals that CCR7 expression is restricted to a CD25intCD44+ subpopulation. Correspondingly, CCR7 deficiency results in an accumulation of this population in mutant thymus. Furthermore, immunohistology shows that in CCR7-deficient mice CD25+CD44+ cells accumulate at the cortico-medullary junction, suggesting that CCR7 signaling regulates the migration of early progenitors toward the outer thymic cortex, thereby continuing differentiation. Results obtained from mixed bone marrow chimeras support this view, since the development of CCR7-deficient thymocytes is also disturbed in a morphologically intact thymus. Thus, our findings establish an essential role for CCR7 in intrathymic migration and proper T cell development.

Abstract
To understand the modulation of dendritic cell (DC) function by IL-10, gene expression profiling was performed by using Affymetrix technology (Santa Clara, CA) in human monocyte-derived DC treated with IL-10, alone or in combination with LPS. The modulation of selected genes was validated by real-time PCR, Northern blot, and protein production. IL-10 regulated in DC the expression of a limited number of genes, including IL-7, the receptors for transferrin and vitamin D(3), structural matrix proteins, and signal transduction elements. The combined treatment with LPS plus IL-10 modulated a number of genes comparable to LPS alone, but the expression profiles were distinct. As expected, IL-10 suppressed the expression of several LPS-inducible proinflammatory molecules. Among genes uniquely modulated by the concomitant treatment with LPS plus IL-10, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma was down-regulated while the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, signaling lymphocytic activation molecule, regulator of G protein signaling 16, and the chemokine, CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 13, were up-regulated. Overall, four distinct transcriptional programs were identified, related to: 1) control of immunity and inflammation; 2) tuning of cytokine receptor and G protein-coupled receptor signaling; 3) remodeling of extracellular matrix; and 4) B cell function and lymphoid tissue neogenesis. Among the latter genes, we further demonstrate that IL-10 synergizes with TLR ligands for the production of functionally active B cell-attracting chemokine, CXCL13, in both myeloid and plasmacytoid DC. This novel finding reveals that IL-10 sustains humoral immunity by inducing the production in APCs of the chemokine, CXCL13, which amplifies B cell recruitment and promotes lymphoid tissue neogenesis.

Abstract
Functional anatomy offers an attempt to exploit anatomical information as a platform from which to decipher mechanistic details of complex or multistep immunological processes. Immune function depends on structural organization, therefore this approach contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the immune system. Major advances in functional anatomy require progress in both experimental techniques and analytical equipment - largely synonymous to refinement of the anatomist's favorite tool, the microscope. Here, we describe how currently available techniques co-operate to gain new insights into the biology of secondary lymphoid organs.

Abstract
Results from several mouse tolerance models indicate that autoreactive B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs develop an anergic phenotype, migrate to the boundary between the T cell zone and the B cell follicle (T/B boundary), and undergo rapid cell death. We have used B cells from mice that are double-transgenic for soluble hen egg lysozyme (HEL) and an Ig that recognizes HEL with a high affinity to characterize the mechanisms underlying the migration and elimination of autoreactive B cells. In contrast to the situation for acutely activated B cells, we find that anergic B cells have reduced levels of CXCR5, the receptor for the follicular chemokine, CXCL13, and this contributes to their exclusion from follicles. CCR7 expression is required for follicular exclusion of anergic cells, although up-regulation of the receptor does not appear to be necessary. By TUNEL analysis, we observe that excluded anergic cells die in situ at the T/B boundary. We also show that this elimination occurs via a Fas-independent mechanism. Using CCR7(-/-)Ig(HEL)-transgenic B cells we find that localization to the T/B boundary is not a necessary event to achieve the competitive elimination of autoantigen-binding B cells. These findings characterize the mechanism for follicular exclusion of autoantigen-binding B cells and they indicate that B cells compete for survival by mechanisms that are separate from competition for the follicular niche.

Abstract
Selective lymphocyte sequestration was described over 30 years ago as the transient withdrawal of Ag-specific lymphocytes from the circulation as a result of their activation in secondary lymphoid organs. We used a TCR-transgenic adoptive transfer system to further characterize the Ag and adjuvant dependence of this process in mice. In addition, we examined the contribution of the alpha(L) and alpha(4) integrin chains as well as Galpha(i) protein-coupled receptor signaling to the retention of Ag-specific T cells in peripheral lymph nodes. Our results demonstrate that selective lymphocyte sequestration is T cell autonomous and adjuvant independent, and that the duration of sequestration is not controlled by the continued presence of Ag in secondary lymphoid organs. This process is not critically dependent on the alpha(L) and alpha(4) integrin chains or Galpha(i) protein-coupled receptor signaling. Selective lymphocyte sequestration may be mediated by redundant mechanisms and/or controlled by novel or nonclassical adhesion or trafficking molecules.

Abstract
The factors directing marginal zone B cells to the splenic marginal zone are not well understood. Here we report that FTY720, a drug that targets sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, induced marginal zone B cell migration into follicles. Marginal zone B cells expressed S1P receptors 1 and 3 (S1P(1) and S1P(3), respectively). Using gene-targeted mice, we show that S1P(1) but not S1P(3) was required for localization in the marginal zone. In mice lacking the chemokine CXCL13, S1P(1)-deficient marginal zone B cells reacquired a marginal zone distribution. Exposure to lipopolysaccharide or antigen caused marginal zone B cells to downregulate S1P(1) and S1P(3) and to migrate into the splenic white pulp. These data suggest that marginal zone B cell localization to the marginal zone depends on responsiveness to the blood lysophospholipid S1P, with S1P(1) signaling overcoming the recruiting activity of CXCL13.

Abstract
The sequence of events that leads to the development of a T-dependent B-cell response has been studied for many years and much attention has focused on the importance of these interactions for the B cell and the antibody response. While a role for B cells in T-cell memory has been demonstrated, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this are unclear and the importance for T cells to migrate into follicles and interact with B cells has received relatively little attention. These interactions between T and B lymphocytes are facilitated by a co-ordinated series of migration events within lymph nodes and here we propose that this migration and these events are essential for the terminal differentiation of all CD4+ T cells and without it tolerance may result.

Abstract
B cell neoplasms present heterogeneous patterns of lymphoid organ involvement, which may be a result of the differential expression of chemokine receptors. We found that chemokine receptor (CCR)7, CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)4, or CXCR5, the main chemokine receptors that mediate B cell entry into secondary lymphoid tissues and their homing to T cell and B cell zones therein, were highly expressed in B malignancies with widespread involvement of lymph nodes. Conversely, those pathologies with little or no nodular dissemination showed no expression to very low levels of CCR7 and CXCR5 and low to moderate levels of CXCR4. These findings provide evidence for the role of CCR7, CXCR4, and CXCR5 in determining the pattern of lymphoid organ involvement of B tumors. Functional studies were performed on B malignancies expressing different levels of CCR7, CXCR5, and CXCR4. Multiple myeloma (MM) cells did not express CCR7 nor CXCR5 and did not migrate in response to their ligands; a moderate expression of CXCR4 on MM cells was accompanied by a migratory response to its ligand, CXCL12. By contrast, cells from B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) expressed the highest levels of these chemokine receptors and efficiently migrated in response to all ligands of CCR7, CXCR4, and CXCR5. In addition, the migration index of B-CLL cells in response to both of the CCR7 ligands correlated with the presence of clinical lymphadenopathy, thus indicating that the high expression of functional chemokine receptors justifies the widespread character of B-CLL, representing a clinical target for the control of tumor cell dissemination.

Abstract
The generation, development, maturation and selection of mammalian B lymphocytes is a complex process that is initiated in the embryo and proceeds throughout life to provide the organism an essential part of the immune system it requires to cope with pathogens. Transcriptional regulation of this highly complex series of events is a major control mechanism, although control is also exerted on all other layers, including splicing, translation and protein stability. This review summarizes our current understanding of transcriptional control of the well-studied murine B cell development, which bears strong similarity to its human counterpart. Animal and cell models with loss of function (gene "knock outs") or gain of function (often transgenes) have significantly contributed to our knowledge about the role of specific transcription factors during B lymphopoiesis. In particular, a large number of different transcriptional regulators have been linked to distinct stages of the life of B lymphocytes such as: differentiation in the bone marrow, migration to the peripheral organs and antigen-induced activation.

Abstract
Productive interaction between T and B lymphocytes is required for humoral immune responses to many foreign protein antigens and production of pathogenic antibodies characteristic of several autoimmune conditions. Thus, much attention has been given in recent years to understand the dynamic molecular interactions and signal transduction required for productive T-B interaction. In this review we highlight current knowledge of signaling and biologic responses that occur in B cells during cognate interactions with helper T cells, focusing on the dynamic function of B cell-surface molecules in T-B synapses.

Abstract
Adaptive immunity depends on T-cell exit from the thymus and T and B cells travelling between secondary lymphoid organs to survey for antigens. After activation in lymphoid organs, T cells must again return to circulation to reach sites of infection; however, the mechanisms regulating lymphoid organ exit are unknown. An immunosuppressant drug, FTY720, inhibits lymphocyte emigration from lymphoid organs, and phosphorylated FTY720 binds and activates four of the five known sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. However, the role of S1P receptors in normal immune cell trafficking is unclear. Here we show that in mice whose haematopoietic cells lack a single S1P receptor (S1P1; also known as Edg1) there are no T cells in the periphery because mature T cells are unable to exit the thymus. Although B cells are present in peripheral lymphoid organs, they are severely deficient in blood and lymph. Adoptive cell transfer experiments establish an intrinsic requirement for S1P1 in T and B cells for lymphoid organ egress. Furthermore, S1P1-dependent chemotactic responsiveness is strongly upregulated in T-cell development before exit from the thymus, whereas S1P1 is downregulated during peripheral lymphocyte activation, and this is associated with retention in lymphoid organs. We find that FTY720 treatment downregulates S1P1, creating a temporary pharmacological S1P1-null state in lymphocytes, providing an explanation for the mechanism of FTY720-induced lymphocyte sequestration. These findings establish that S1P1 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation and that it regulates egress from both thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs.

Abstract
In recent years, our understanding of B-cell biology and the roles of B cells in normal immune responses and autoimmunity has increased dramatically. We no longer think of B cells simply as antibody factories. It is clear that these diverse and exquisitely regulated cells may contribute in a multitude of ways to immune responses. Animal models, clinical trials of biologic agents, and the ever expanding field of molecular biology have made great contributions to our current knowledge. With this improved understanding, we are afforded the opportunity to consider numerous potential therapeutic targets for treating autoimmune disease. As this growing science evolves, we can expect to see the advent of new therapies and new hope for patients who are afflicted with these disorders.

Abstract
Chemokines are important players in the development of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The participation of secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (CCL21) is essential in the induction of the disease due to its expression in lymphatic vessels and in secondary lymphoid organs. Since there is no information about its participation during the effector phase of ACD, we studied this chemokine in patients already diagnosed with ACD, who were challenged with the relevant positive and negative (control) antigens. All patients showed a specific antigen-induced immune response characterized by early expression of inflammatory markers in blood endothelial cells followed by dermal accumulation of mononuclear cells with an important increase in infiltration of CXCR3+ but not of CCR7+ cells. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed low levels of CCL21 in lymphatic vessels at 2 h, whereas they were significantly increased at 10 and 48 h in all positive patch tests. In contrast, very low expression of this chemokine was observed in skin biopsies from the control site at 48 h. In addition, Langerin+ cells, which were present in dermis from positive patch tests at 2 h, were diminished in number at 10 and 48 h, but a significant number of those cells was still present in dermal areas of the control site at 48 h. We demonstrate for the first time that CCL21, a constitutively expressed chemokine, is strongly upregulated in human lymphatic vessels during a Th1/Tc1 allergic inflammatory response. This can provide the signal required for CCR7+ cells to leave the skin through CCL21-positive lymphatic vessels.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of pathogenic autoantibodies. A new study demonstrates that passive antibody specific for the TNF family member, CD154, ameliorates disease by reducing levels of self-reactive antibody in the serum. This study demonstrates a substantial potential for anti-CD154 antibody in the treatment of humoral autoimmunity.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that chemoattractant cytokines (chemokines), together with tissue-specific adhesion molecules, coordinate the migration of antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) from their sites of antigen-driven differentiation in lymphoid tissues to target effector tissues. Developing ASCs downregulate the expression of receptors for lymphoid tissue chemokines and selectively upregulate the expression of chemokine receptors that might target the migration of IgA ASCs to mucosal surfaces, IgG ASCs to sites of tissue inflammation and both types of ASC to the bone marrow - an important site for serum antibody production. By directing plasma-cell homing, chemokines might help to determine the character and efficiency of mucosal, inflammatory and systemic antibody responses.

Abstract
Directed cellular migrations underlie immune system organization. Chemokines and their receptors (along with surface-adhesion molecules) are central to these migrations, targeting developing and mature leukocytes to tissues and microenvironments suitable for their differentiation and function. The chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 play a central role in the migration of hematopoietic stem cells, and several chemokine receptors are transiently expressed during distinct stages of B- and T-cell development. In the periphery, mature naïve B and T cells utilize the receptors CCR7, CXCR4, and CXCR5 to recirculate through specialized microenvironments within the secondary lymphoid tissues, while effector and memory lymphocytes express bewildering patterns of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors that allow them to function within microenvironments and non-lymphoid tissues inaccessible to naïve cells. Here, we summarize the role of chemokines and their receptors in the spatial organization of the immune system and consider the implications for immune function.

Abstract
The development of secondary lymphoid organs is a complex process dependent on a coordinated interaction of cells of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic origin. In this context, chemokines and cytokines belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/lymphotoxin (LT) family are critical signaling molecules during the initial steps of lymph node and Peyer's patch organogenesis. Homeostatic chemokines, such as CXCL13, CCL21, and CCL19, as well as their corresponding receptors, CXCR5 and CCR7, have now been shown to closely cooperate in the development of lymphoid organs and the maintenance of lymphoid tissue microarchitecture. We summarize recent data on the function of CXCR5 and CCR7 and their intricate connection to the TNF/LT system in order to refine the current model of lymphoid organ development.

Abstract
Lymphoid organs represent highly specialized tissues enabling the development and activation of B and T lymphocytes. Contact between lymphoid and parenchymal cells in bone marrow and thymus is a prerequisite for proper development of B and T cells, respectively, while secondary lymphoid organs, such as spleen and lymph nodes are the places where B and T cells get into contact with antigen presenting cells in order to initiate an adaptive immune response. Recent evidence suggests that few constitutively produced chemokines are essentially required to allow for the correct positioning and interaction of lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells thus creating microenvironments for efficient development and activation of the immune system at multiple stages.

Abstract
NKT cells play important roles in the regulation of diverse immune responses. Therefore, chemokine receptor expression and chemotactic responses of murine TCRalphabeta NKT cells were examined to define their homing potential. Most NKT cells stained for the chemokine receptor CXCR3, while >90% of Valpha14i-positive and approximately 50% of Valpha14i-negative NKT cells expressed CXCR6 via an enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter construct. CXCR4 expression was higher on Valpha14i-negative than Valpha14i-positive NKT cells. In spleen only, subsets of Valpha14i-positive and -negative NKT cells also expressed CXCR5. NKT cell subsets migrated in response to ligands for the inflammatory chemokine receptors CXCR3 (monokine induced by IFN-gamma/CXC ligand (CXCL)9) and CXCR6 (CXCL16), and regulatory chemokine receptors CCR7 (secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC)/CC ligand (CCL)21), CXCR4 (stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCL12), and CXCR5 (B cell-attracting chemokine-1/CXCL13); but not to ligands for other chemokine receptors. Two NKT cell subsets migrated in response to the lymphoid homing chemokine SLC/CCL21: CD4(-) Valpha14i-negative NKT cells that were L-selectin(high) and enriched for expression of Ly49G2 (consistent with the phenotype of most NKT cells found in peripheral lymph nodes); and immature Valpha14i-positive cells lacking NK1.1 and L-selectin. Mature NK1.1(+) Valpha14i-positive NKT cells did not migrate to SLC/CCL21. BCA-1/CXCL13, which mediates homing to B cell zones, elicited migration of Valpha14i-positive and -negative NKT cells in the spleen. These cells were primarily CD4(+) or CD4(-)CD8(-) and were enriched for Ly49C/I, but not Ly49G2. Low levels of chemotaxis to CXCL16 were only detected in Valpha14i-positive NKT cell subsets. Our results identify subsets of NKT cells with distinct homing and localization patterns, suggesting that these populations play specialized roles in immunological processes in vivo.

Abstract
Chemokine receptors on T cells are frequently categorized as functioning either in immune system homeostasis within lymphoid organs, or in peripheral inflammation. CXCR3 is in the latter category and is reported to be expressed selectively on Th1 cells. We found that CXCR3 was expressed in vivo on newly activated tonsillar CD4(+) T cells. Using CD4(+) T cells from cord blood, we found that CXCR3 was induced by cellular activation in vitro independently of the cytokine milieu, although on resting cells, expression was maintained preferentially on those that had been activated in type 1 conditions. In inflamed tonsils, CXCR3(+)CD4(+) T cells were localized around and within germinal centers. The inference that CXCR3 has a role in germinal center reactions was supported by the finding that the CXCR3 ligand CXC chemokine ligand 9 was expressed in a pattern demarcating a subset of germinal centers both in tonsil and in lymph nodes from an HIV-infected individual. We next investigated the role of CXCR3 on peripheral effector/memory CD4(+) T cells by comparing its pattern of expression with that of CCR5, another Th1-cell associated chemokine receptor. Analysis of cells directly from peripheral blood and after activation in vitro suggested that CXCR3 expression preceded that of CCR5, supporting a model of sequential induction of chemokine receptors during CD4(+) T cell differentiation. Taken together, our data show that CXCR3 can be expressed at all stages of CD4(+) T cell activation and differentiation, bridging central function in lymphoid organs and effector function in peripheral tissues.

Abstract
As activated B cells differentiate into plasma cells they complete a final series of migration steps that take them to locations where they can efficiently carry out their effector function, secreting immunoglobulin (Ig) M or IgG into circulation or releasing dimeric IgA adjacent to the epithelium for transcytosis. Recent experiments have established a key role for chemokines in directing antibody secreting cell (ASC) movement within the secondary lymphoid organs where they are generated, as well as in guiding the cells to the bone marrow or mucosal surfaces. This review discusses the chemokines involved in directing ASC movements, particularly focusing on the role of CXCR4 and CXCL12/SDF1. The function of CCR9 and CCR10 in IgA ASC homing and contributions made by integrins and lectins are also discussed.

Abstract
In adaptive antibody responses, B cells are induced to grow either in follicles where they form germinal centers or in extrafollicular foci as plasmablasts. Extrafollicular growth typically occurs in the medullary cords of lymph nodes and in foci in the red pulp of the spleen. It is not a feature of secondary lymphoid tissue associated with the internal epithelia of the body. All types of naïve and memory B cells can be recruited into extrafollicular responses. These responses are associated with immunoglobulin class switching but, at the most, only low-level hypermutation.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer is characterized by a specific metastatic pattern. The mechanism for organ-specific metastasis is poorly understood, although evidence has suggested that the chemokine stromal derived factor-1 (CXCL12) and its cognate receptor CXCR4 may regulate breast cancer metastasis. We hypothesized that the CXCL12-CXCR4 biological axis is important in mediating non-small cell lung cancer metastases. Our results indicate that both non-small cell lung cancer tumor specimens resected from patients and non-small cell lung cancer cell lines express CXCR4, but not CXCL12. Non-small cell lung cancer cell lines undergo chemotaxis in response to CXCL12. CXCL12-CXCR4 activation of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines showed intracellular calcium mobilization and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation with enhanced extracellular signal-related kinase-1/2 phosphorylation without change in either proliferation or apoptosis. Target organs in a murine model that are the preferred destination of human non-small cell lung cancer metastases elaborate higher levels of CXCL12 than does the primary tumor, and suggest the generation of chemotactic gradients. The administration of specific neutralizing anti-CXCL12 antibodies to severe combined immunodeficient mice expressing human non-small cell lung cancer abrogated organ metastases, without affecting primary tumor-derived angiogenesis. These data suggest that the CXCL12-CXCR4 biological axis is involved in regulating the metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
The development of immunity depends upon the capacity of responding T cells to become mobilized from lymphoid tissues where they are primed to sites of antigen exposure, wherever they occur in the body. Activation-induced alterations in the ability of T cells to migrate signify a fundamental change in biological function. Considerable attention is now focused on identifying mechanisms that regulate the migration and persistence of T cells that disseminate to non-lymphoid compartments as effector cells, and those that are retained in the lymphoid compartment. There are many unanswered questions about the developmental relationships and roles in protective immunity of antigen-experienced T cells that partition in different tissues.

Abstract
The effective onset of adaptive immune responses requires that naïve antigen-specific lymphocytes, being inherently rare throughout the body, rapidly encounter foreign antigens. This problem has been elegantly solved in evolution by inventing secondary lymphoid tissues as intersections in the migratory pathway of antigen-presenting dendritic cells and antigen-specific lymphocytes. Chemokines play a central role in guiding cell movements in the course of immune responses and in lymphoid system homeostasis. In particular, the chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR5 are key molecules for the entry of lymphocytes and dendritic cells into secondary lymphoid organs and their homing to T-cell and B-cell zones therein. CCR7 and CXCR5 are differentially expressed on the cell surface of lymphocytes and dendritic cells depending on the stage of cellular differentiation and activation, thus allowing these cells to change their homing capacity and prospective traffic routes.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that serve an important function in detecting pathogens and initiating inflammatory responses. Upon encounter with foreign Ag, dendritic cells (DCs) go through a maturation process characterized by an increase in surface expression of MHC class II and costimulatory molecules, which leads to initiation of an effective immune response in naive T cells. The innate immune response to bacterial flagellin is mediated by TLR5, which is expressed on human DCs. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether flagellin could induce DC maturation. Immature DCs were cultured in the absence or presence of flagellin and monitored for expression of cell surface maturation markers. Stimulation with flagellin induced increased surface expression of CD83, CD80, CD86, MHC class II, and the lymph node-homing chemokine receptor CCR7. Flagellin stimulated the expression of chemokines active on neutrophils (IL-8/CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL)8, GRO-alpha/CXCL1, GRO-beta/CXCL2, GRO-gamma/CXCL3), monocytes (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/CC chemokine ligand (CCL)2), and immature DCs (macrophage-inflammatory protein-1 alpha/CCL3, macrophage-inflammatory protein-1 beta/CCL4), but not chemokines active on effector T cells (IFN-inducible protein-10 kDa/CXCL10, monokine induced by IFN-gamma/CXCL9, IFN-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant/CXCL11). However, stimulating DCs with both flagellin and IFN-inducible protein-10 kDa, monokine induced by IFN-gamma, and IFN-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant expression, whereas stimulation with IFN-beta or flagellin alone failed to induce these chemokines. In functional assays, flagellin-matured DCs displayed enhanced T cell stimulatory activity with a concomitant decrease in endocytic activity. Finally, DCs isolated from mouse spleens or bone marrows were shown to not express TLR5 and were not responsive to flagellin stimulation. These results demonstrate that flagellin can directly stimulate human but not murine DC maturation, providing an additional mechanism by which motile bacteria can initiate an acquired immune response.

Abstract
Lymphoid tissue development is associated with local accumulation of CD4+ CD3- IL-7R alpha hi hematopoietic cells that deliver lymphotoxin (LT)alpha 1 beta 2 signals to resident stromal cells. Previous studies have established an important role for CXCL13 (BLC) in the development of Peyer's patches (PP) and some peripheral lymph nodes (LNs), but the chemokine requirements for several LN types, including mesenteric LNs, remain undefined. Using CXCL13-/- mice that additionally carry the paucity of LN T cell mutation (plt/plt), we discovered that CCR7 ligands function in peripheral LN development. We also tested for a genetic interaction during LN development between CXCL13 and a cytokine receptor required in PP development, IL-7R alpha. Mice deficient for both CXCL13 and IL-7R alpha displayed a striking absence of LNs, including mesenteric LNs. These data extend the role of CXCL13 to the development of all LNs and establish a previously unappreciated role for IL-7R alpha in this process. Both circulating and LN CD4+ CD3- IL-7R alpha hi cells are shown to express LT alpha 1 beta 2 in an IL-7R alpha-dependent manner. Furthermore, CXCL13 was found to be sufficient to mediate CD4+ CD3- IL-7R alpha hi cell recruitment in vivo to an ectopic site. These findings indicate that CXCL13 and CCR7 ligands promote accumulation of CD4+ CD3- IL-7R alpha hi cells, delivering IL-7R alpha-dependent LT alpha 1 beta 2 signals critical for LN development.

Abstract
Homeostatic chemokines participate in the development of secondary lymphoid organs and later on in the functional organization of these tissues. The development of lymph nodes (LNs) and Peyer's patches depends on the recruitment of CD3- CD4+ interleukin (IL)-7R alpha hi cells to sites of future organ development. CD3- CD4+ IL-7R alpha hi cells express the chemokine receptor CXCR5 and might be attracted by its ligand CXCL13, which is secreted by mesenchymal cells. Mesenchymal cells also secrete CCL19, a ligand for CCR7, yet it is not clear whether CCR7 and CCL19 are important for secondary lymphoid organ development. Analyzing CXCR5-/- CCR7-/- double deficient mice we now show that these mice lack all examined peripheral LNs suggesting a profound role for both receptors in secondary lymphoid organ development. We demonstrate that CD3- CD4+ IL-7R alpha hi cells express CXCR5 as well as CCR7 indicating that both receptors cooperate during an early step of secondary lymphoid organ development. Furthermore, CXCR5-/- CCR7-/- mice display a severely disturbed architecture of mesenteric LN and spleen. Due to an impaired migration of B cells into the white pulp, CXCR5-/- CCR7-/- mice fail to develop B cell follicles but show small clusters of unorganized lymphocytes in the spleen. These data demonstrate a cooperative function of CXCR5 and CCR7 in lymphoid organ organogenesis and organization.

Abstract
Circulating B cells enter the CNS as part of normal immune surveillance and in pathologic states, including the common and disabling illness multiple sclerosis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that mediate human B cell interaction with the specialized brain endothelial cells comprising the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We studied the molecular mechanisms that regulate the migration of normal human B cells purified ex vivo, across human adult brain-derived endothelial cells (HBECs). We found that B cells migrated across HBECs more efficiently than T cells from the same individuals. B cell migration was significantly inhibited by blocking Abs to the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VLA-4, but not VCAM-1, similar to the results previously reported for T cells. Blockade of the chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and IL-8, but not RANTES or IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10, significantly inhibited B cell migration, and these results were correlated with the chemokine receptor expression of B cells measured by flow cytometry and by RNase protection assay. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, a natural inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, significantly decreased B cell migration across the HBECs. A comprehensive RT-PCR comparative analysis of all known matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in human B and T cells revealed distinct profiles of expression of these molecules in the different cell subsets. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie human B cell migration across the BBB. Furthermore, they identify potential common, and unique, therapeutic targets for limiting CNS B cell infiltration and predict how therapies currently developed to target T cell migration, such as anti-VLA-4 Abs, may impact on B cell trafficking.

Abstract
We studied gene expression profiles of 17 cutaneous B cell lymphomas that were collected with 4-6 mm skin punch biopsies. We also included tissue from two cases of mycosis fungoides, three normal skin biopsies, and three tonsils to create a framework for further interpretation. A hierarchical cluster algorithm was applied for data analysis. Our results indicate that small amounts of skin tissue can be used successfully to perform microarray analysis and result in distinct gene expression patterns. Duplicate specimens clustered together demonstrating a reproducible technique. Within the cutaneous B cell lymphoma specimens two specific B cell differentiation stage signatures of germinal center B cells and plasma cells could be identified. Primary cutaneous follicular and primary cutaneous diffuse large B cell lymphomas had a germinal center B cell signature, whereas a subset of marginal zone lymphomas demonstrated a plasma cell signature. Primary and secondary follicular B cell lymphoma of the skin were closely related, despite previously reported genetic and phenotypic differences. In contrast primary and secondary cutaneous diffuse large B cell lymphoma were less related to each other. This pilot study allows a first glance into the complex and unique microenvironment of B cell lymphomas of the skin and provides a basis for future studies, which may lead to the identification of potential histologic and prognostic markers as well as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Chemokines are essential regulators of lymphocyte migration throughout the body. The chemokine system controls lymphocyte recirculation in immune-system homeostasis, as well as the activation-dependent and tissue-selective trafficking of effector and memory lymphocytes during immune responses. In addition, there is now substantial evidence that chemokines are critical factors for the development and organization of secondary lymphoid organs and that they are involved in all stages of lymphoid organogenesis.

Abstract
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type 1 is a recessive Mendelian disorder resulting from mutations in a novel gene, AIRE, and is characterized by a spectrum of organ-specific autoimmune diseases. It is not known what tolerance mechanisms are defective as a result of AIRE mutation. By tracing the fate of autoreactive CD4+ T cells with high affinity for a pancreatic antigen in transgenic mice with an Aire mutation, we show here that Aire deficiency causes almost complete failure to delete the organ-specific cells in the thymus. These results indicate that autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome 1 is caused by failure of a specialized mechanism for deleting forbidden T cell clones, establishing a central role for this tolerance mechanism.

Abstract
Chemokines regulate both homeostatic leukocyte recirculation and trafficking to sites of infection and inflammation. Apart from the well-established physiological functions, chemokines receive growing interest for their role in pathophysiological processes such as autoimmune diseases, cancer, and allograft rejection. The chemokine receptor CCR7, which is responsible for directing T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells (DCs) into secondary lymphoid organs and their precise positioning therein, has already been implicated in lymphoid organ infiltration by neoplastic cells and the localization of metastasis formation. We have shown that the differential expression of CCR7 by neoplastic cells in two entities of Hodgkin's disease (HD), classic HD (cHD) and the nodular lymphocyte predominant HD (NLPHD), may account for the differences observed in tumor cell dissemination within the affected lymph nodes. Because of the prominent role of the chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR5 in lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid organs, we hypothesized that they may also be involved in the action of FTY720, a synthetic immunosuppressant inducing lymphopenia. By using CXCR5 and CCR7 knockout mice, we have tested for a possible function of these receptors in the FTY720-induced migration of lymphocytes into Peyer's patches (PPs) and peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs). Lymphopenia is noticeably delayed in mice lacking CCR7, whereas CXCR5 knockout mice show a significant reduction of lymphocyte accumulation in secondary lymphoid organs that are infrequently present in these mice. However, FTY720-induced lymphocyte sequestration appears to be essentially independent of CCR7 and CXCR5.

Abstract
It has been proposed that the positioning of mobile cells within a tissue is determined by their overall profile of chemokine receptors. This study examines the profiles of chemokine receptors expressed on resting and activated adult human microglial cells, astrocytes and a microglial cell line, CHME3. Microglia express highest levels of CXCR1, CXCR3 and CCR3. Astrocytes also have moderate levels of CXCR1 and CXCR3, and some CCR3, while both cell types also expressed CCR4, CCR5, CCR6, CXCR2, CXCR4 and CXCR5 at lower levels. Activation of the cells with the inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) increased the expression of some but not all receptors over a period of 24 h. Microglia showed moderate enhancement of receptor expression, while astrocytes responded particularly strongly to TNFalpha with enhanced CXCR3, CCR3 and CXCR1. However, the migratory and proliferative responses of the microglia and astrocytes to the same chemokine were different, with microglia migrating and astrocytes proliferating in response to CXCL10. The data indicates a mechanism by which activated microglia and astrocytes become selectively more sensitive to inflammatory chemokines during CNS disease, and the paper discusses which of the many chemokines present in CNS would have priority of action on microglia and astrocytes.

Abstract
FTY720 is a sphingosine-derived immunosuppressant. Phosphorylated FTY720 promotes T cell homing from spleen and peripheral blood to LNs by acting as an agonist for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. Here we demonstrate that FTY720 enhances the activity of the sphingosine transporter Abcb1 (Mdr1) and the leukotriene C(4) transporter Abcc1 (Mrp1). Both transporters must be active for FTY720-mediated T cell migration and LN homing. Migration and homing driven by FTY720, phosphorylated FTY720, or S1P also require 5-lipoxygenase-mediated synthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes and their efflux from the cell. FTY720-mediated LN homing events further downstream are dependent on CCL19, CCL21, VLA-4alpha, and CD44. Use of T cells deficient in 5-lipoxygenase, Abcb1, and Abcc1, and comparison of the effects of FTY720 with those of S1P, suggest a model of sequential engagement of Abcb1, SP1 receptors, 5-lipoxygenase, and Abcc1 to enhance T cell migration and homing.

Abstract
The steps involved in lymphocyte homing to the white pulp cords of the spleen are poorly understood. We demonstrate here that the integrins lymphocyte function associated (LFA)-1 and alpha 4 beta 1 make essential and mostly overlapping contributions necessary for B cell migration into white pulp cords. T cell entry to the white pulp is also reduced by blockade of LFA-1 and alpha 4 beta 1. The LFA-1 ligand, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 is critical for lymphocyte entry and both hematopoietic cells and radiation-resistant cells contribute to this requirement. Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 contributes to the alpha 4 beta 1 ligand requirement and a second ligand, possibly fibronectin, also plays a role. By contrast with the entry requirements, antigen-induced movement of B cells from follicles to the outer T zone is not prevented by integrin blocking antibodies. Comparison of the distribution of integrin-blocked B cells and B cells treated with the G alpha i inhibitor, pertussis toxin, early after transfer reveals in both cases reduced accumulation in the inner marginal zone. These observations suggest that chemokine receptor signaling and the integrins LFA-1 and alpha 4 beta 1 function together to promote lymphocyte transit from the marginal zone into white pulp cords.

Abstract
Follicular B helper T (T(FH)) cells make up a CD4(+) memory T cell subset with unique migration properties, defined by the expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR5 and responsiveness to the CXCR5-selective chemokine BCA-1, which is produced in B cell follicles. The generation of T(FH) cells is closely associated with initiation of adaptive immunity. Here, we discuss the relationship of T(FH) cells with those T cells characterized by an inherent secondary lymphoid tissue homing program. Special emphasis is placed on the potential involvement of T(FH) cells in the humoral immune response within B cell follicles, as well as the differentiation potential of these non-polarized cells.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of CD4 T cell accumulation in B cell follicles after immunization. Follicular T cell numbers were correlated with the number of B cells, indicating B cell control of the niche that T cells occupy. Despite this, we found no role for B cells in the follicular migration of T cells. Instead, T cells are induced to migrate into B cell follicles entirely as a result of interaction with dendritic cells (DCs). Migration relies on CD40-dependent maturation of DCs, as it did not occur in CD40-deficient mice but was reconstituted with CD40(+) DCs. Restoration was not achieved by the activation of DCs with bacterial activators (e.g., lipopolysaccharide, CpG), but was by the injection of OX40L-huIgG1 fusion protein. Crucially, the up-regulation of OX40L (on antigen-presenting cells) and CXCR-5 (on T cells) are CD40-dependent events and we show that T cells do not migrate to follicles in immunized OX40-deficient mice.

Abstract
Homing of blood-borne lymphocytes to peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs) is a multistep process dependent on the sequential engagement of L-selectin, which mediates lymphocyte rolling along the luminal surface of high endothelial venules (HEVs), followed by activation of lymphocyte integrins and transmigration through HEVs. Within lymphoid tissue, B and T lymphocytes then migrate toward specific microenvironments such as B-cell follicles and the paracortex, respectively. The lymphocyte-expressed chemokine receptor CCR7 is playing an important role during this process, as its HEV-presented ligands CCL19 and CCL21 can trigger rapid integrin activation under flow in addition to inducing a chemotactic response, which may participate in transmigration and/or interstitial migration. Here, we report that Tyrphostin (Tyr) AG490, a pharmacological inhibitor of Janus family tyrosine kinases (Jaks), blocked the chemotactic response of primary mouse lymphocytes to CCL19 and CCL21 in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, Tyr AG490 inhibited rapid CCL21-mediated up-regulation of alpha4 and beta2 integrin adhesiveness in static adhesion assays and under physiological flow, whereas adhesion induced by phorbol myristate acetate remained unaltered. Using intravital microscopy of subiliac PLNs in mice, we found that adoptively transferred Tyr AG490-treated lymphocytes adhered significantly less in HEVs compared with control cells, although L-selectin-mediated rolling was similar in both samples. Finally, we observed rapid Jak2 phosphorylation in CCL21-stimulated primary mouse lymphocytes. Thus, our study suggests a role for Jak tyrosine kinases during CCR7-mediated lymphocyte recirculation.

Abstract
Several recent studies have revealed important contributions of chemokines and their receptors to the development and progression of both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic neoplasms. The chemokine receptor CCR6 is unusual in that it mediates leukocyte chemotaxis in response to a single chemokine, CCL20 (macrophage inhibitory factor-3alpha), as well as in response to a family of antimicrobial peptides termed "beta-defensins." CCR6 is critical for mucosal immunity, and expression of the receptor is tightly regulated on hematopoietic cells. Here we characterize the expression of CCR6 on B cells and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. We demonstrate that CCR6 expression is limited to cells comprising the mantle and marginal zones of the secondary lymphoid tissues and serves to identify the majority of mantle cell, marginal zone, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Furthermore, we show that CCR6 serves as a functional chemokine receptor when expressed by neoplastic cells. Finally, we establish that the cognate ligand for CCR6 is present on mucosal epithelium infiltrated by neoplastic cells in select extranodal lymphomas. Thus, CCR6 is a useful new marker identifying a subset of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and likely contributes to the localization of select extranodal lymphomas at mucosal sites.

Abstract
The lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTbetaR) plays critical roles in inflammation and lymphoid organogenesis through activation of NF-kappaB. In addition to activation of the classical NF-kappaB, ligation of this receptor induces the processing of the cytosolic NF-kappaB2/p100 precursor to yield the mature p52 subunit, followed by translocation of p52 to the nucleus. This activation of NF-kappaB2 requires NIK and IKKalpha, while NEMO/IKKgamma is dispensable for p100 processing. IKKbeta-dependent activation of canonical NF-kappaB is required for the expression but not processing of p100 and for the expression of proinflammatory molecules including VCAM-1, MIP-1beta, and MIP-2 in response to LTbetaR ligation. In contrast, IKKalpha controls the induction by LTbetaR ligation of chemokines and cytokines involved in lymphoid organogenesis, including SLC, BLC, ELC, SDF1, and BAFF.
