Abstract:CD4+CD3- cells are the predominant hematopoietic cells found in mouse fetal intestine. We prove their role as Peyers patch (PP)-inducing cells by transfer into neonatal PP-deficient mice. To test the requirement of chemokines and adhesion molecules in induction of PP, we studied mice deficient in CXCR5 and/or {alpha}4{beta}1 integrin-mediated adhesion. CXCR5-/- mice have CD4+CD3- cells, which are inefficient in inducing PP formation. We show here that CXCR5/CXCL13 signaling activates {alpha}4{beta}1 integrin on CD4+CD3- cells. Blocking of {beta}1 integrin or VCAM-1, the ligand of {alpha}4{beta}1 integrin, inhibits PP formation. This study demonstrates the link between chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules that regulates stromal/hematopoietic cell interaction leading to PP formation.
