| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrated in this study that Notch1, 2 and Rbpj-mediated Notch signal controls the number and maturation of TCRαβ+CD8αα+ (CD8αα) intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL), one of four major IEL subsets, in the small intestine. The analysis using bone marrow chimeric mice revealed that intrinsic Notch signal in CD8αα IEL at intraepithelial stage is required for maintaining the number of CD8αα IEL. By DNA microarray analysis, we identified Atp8a2 as one of Notch target genes in CD8αα IEL. As Atp8a2 has flippase activity, Rbpj deficient CD8αα IEL exhibited lower flippase activity than control cells. The depletion of intestinal macrophages by administrating anit-CSF1 receptor antibody in T cell specific Rbpj deficient mice increased the number of CD8αα IEL in the small intestine. Our data suggest that Notch-mediated Atp8a2 expression modulates the number of CD8αα IEL through control of phospholipid asymmetry and engulfment of macrophages.
