The mechanism of circulating T cells entry into the brain in Alzheimer's diseases (AD) remains unclear. Here, we showed that peripheral T cells derived from AD patients overexpress CXCR2 to enhance its transendothelial migration. T cells migration through in vitro blood-brain barrier model was effectively blocked by anti-CXCR2 antibody or IL-8 (a CXCR2 ligand) RNAi in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs). Amyloid beta (Abeta) injection in rat hippocampus upregulated CXCR2 expression accompanied with increased T cells occurrence in the brain, and this enhanced T cells entry was effectively blocked by CXCR2 antagonist. Furthermore, anti-TNF-alpha antibody blocked IL-8 production in HBMECs and T cells transendothelial migration caused by the culture supernatant of microglia treated with Abeta. Blockage of intracerebral TNF-alpha abolished the upregulation of CXCR2 in peripheral T cells and the increased T cells occurrence in the brain induced by Abeta injection in rat hippocampus. These data suggest that CXCR2 overexpression in peripheral T cells is intracerebral microglial TNF-alpha-dependent and TNF-alpha primes T cells transendothelial migration in Alzheimer's diseases.
