Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) constituting Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is related to a dysregulated T cell response. CCL20 attracts memory T lymphocytes and dendritic cells. We asked whether CCL20 expression is altered in IBD. Colonic biopsies were obtained from 114 subjects with IBD, non-IBD colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and healthy controls. CCL20 and CCR6 mRNA expression was measured by Taqman-PCR, and protein secretion from colonic explant cultures (CEC) and its regulation by TNF-alpha by ELISA. CCL20, CCR6, and Langerin were identified by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. CCL20 mRNA and protein were severalfold increased in involved CD and UC but not in non-IBD colitis. TNF-alpha increased and anti-TNF-alpha decreased CCL20 release in healthy control CEC but not in involved IBD colonic specimens. CCL20 localized to follicle-associated epithelium, and CCR6 to the adjacent mantle zone of lymphoid follicles. Furthermore, abundant numbers of Langerin(+) immature dendritic cells were identified in the subepithelial space of IBD specimens. CCL20 might regulate the attraction of T lymphocytes and dendritic cells in IBD.
