ABSTRACT: Background and aims
CD14+ mononuclear phagocytes [MNPs] and T cells infiltrate colon in ulcerative colitis [UC]. Here we investigated how CD14+ MNPs and the cytokines they produce shape the colonic effector T cell profile.Methods
Colonic or mesenteric lymph node [mLNs] CD4+ T cells isolated from UC or Crohn's disease [CD] patients were stimulated with cytokines or autologous CD14+ MNPs. Cytokine expression was assessed by intracytoplasmic staining and multiplex ELISA. Unsupervised phenotypic multicolour analysis of colonic CD14+ MNPs was performed using the FlowSOM algorithm.Results
Among CD14+CD64+HLA-DR+SIRP??+ MNPs, only the pro-inflammatory cytokine-producing CD163- subpopulation accumulated in inflamed UC colon and promoted mucosal IL-1?-dependent Th17, Th17/Th1, Th17/Th22 but not Th1 responses. Unsupervised phenotypic analysis of CD14+CD64+ MNPs segregated CD163- monocyte-like cells and CD163+ macrophages. Unexpectedly, IL-12, IL-1? and CD163-, but not CD163+, cells induced IL-8 expression in colonic CD4+ T cells, which co-expressed IFN-? and/or IL-17 in UC and not CD. The CD163- monocyte-like cells increased the frequency of IL-8+IL-17+/-IFN-??+/- T cells through IL-1? and IL-12. Finally, colonic IL-8+ T cells co-expressing GM-CSF, TNF-? and IL-6 were detected ex vivo and, promoted by IL-12 in the mucosa and mLNs in UC only.Conclusions
Our findings established a link between monocyte-like CD163- MNPs, IL-12, IL-1? and the detection of colonic memory IL-8-producing CD4+ T cells, which might all contribute to the pathogenesis of UC.
