Murine intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) consist of T cells bearing alpha beta-antigen receptor (alpha beta-IELs) and those bearing gamma delta-IELs). Although gamma delta-IELs outnumber alpha beta-IELs in germ-free (GF) mice, oral inoculation of fecal suspension from conventional (CV) mice into GF mice induced the increase in number of alpha beta-IELs, leaving the number of gamma delta-IELs unchanged, and the number of alpha beta-IELs reached the level of CV mice by 3 weeks after conventionalization. Expansion of alpha beta-IELs and increase in their CD44+ subset in conventionalized mice were not affected until 2 weeks after beginning of daily injection of cyclosporin A (CsA). However, further expansion of alpha beta-IELs during 2-3 weeks after conventionalization was blocked by injection of CsA. Although the relative constitution of CD4- 8-, CD4+ 8-, CD4- 8 alpha alpha+, CD4- 8 alpha beta+ and CD4+ 8+ subsets among alpha beta-IELs was comparable between control and CsA-treated groups, CsA injection resulted in the decrease in ratio of high-density fraction cells to low density fraction cells in IELs. CsA completely abrogated the expansion of T cells in peripheral lymph nodes stimulated by alloantigens in vivo, and proliferation of IELs from GF mice induced by immobilized anti-alpha beta-T-cell receptor (TCR) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in vitro was also eliminated by CsA. These results indicate that microbial colonization-induced expansion of alpha beta-IELs is subdivided into two steps: the early phase of expansion takes place via TCR-non-mediated pathway and the late phase of expansion requires TCR-mediated signal transduction.
