Chemokines and their receptors play a critical role in the selective attraction of various subsets of leukocytes. We examined the chemokine receptor expressions and responsiveness of cord blood (CB) T cells. Flow-cytometric analysis revealed that peripheral blood (PB) T cells expressed CCR-1, CCR-2, CCR-5, CCR-6, CXC chemokine receptor-3 (CXCR-3), and CXCR-4, while CB T cells expressed only CXCR-4 on their surface. Chemotactic migratory response of CB T cells to macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, RANTES, MIP-3alpha, monokine induced by IFN-gamma, and IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 was significantly impaired compared with those of PB T cells. In contrast, the ability of CB T cells to migrate to MIP-3beta, 6Ckine, and stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha was greater than that of PB T cells, and these events were correlated with the expression levels of CCR-7 and CXCR-4, respectively. Engagement of CD3 and CD28 specifically up-regulated CXCR-3 expression and chemotaxis to monokine induced by IFN-gamma and IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10, whereas this stimulation down-regulated CCR-7 expression and chemotaxis to MIP-3beta and 6Ckine in PB T cells, but not in CB T cells. These results suggest that PB T cells and CB T cells exhibit distinct chemokine responsiveness via different chemokine receptor repertoire.
