Mice devoid of the IL-15 system lose over 90% of CD8alphaalpha(+) TCRalphabeta and TCRgammadelta intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs). Previous work revealed that IL-15Ralpha and IL-15 expressed by parenchymal cells, but not by bone marrow-derived cells, are required for normal CD8alphaalpha(+) iIEL homeostasis. However, it remains unclear when and how the IL-15 system affects CD8alphaalpha(+) iIELs through their development. This study found that IL-15Ralpha is dispensable for the thymic stage of CD8alphaalpha(+) TCRalphabeta and TCRgammadelta iIEL development but is required for the maintenance and/or differentiation of the putative lineage marker negative precursors in the intestinal epithelium, especially for the most mature CD8 single positive subset. Moreover, the IL-15 system directly supports the survival of mature CD8alphaalpha(+) iIEL in vivo. Taken together, this study suggests that regulation of CD8alphaalpha(+) iIEL homeostasis by the IL-15 system does not occur in the thymus but involves mature cells and putative precursors in the intestine.

IL-15 Does Not Affect IEL Development in the Thymus but Regulates Homeostasis of Putative Precursors and Mature CD8αα+ IELs in the Intestine
