Abstract
Signaling through tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) controls bacterial infections and the induction of inflammatory Th1 cell–mediated autoimmune diseases. By dissecting Th1 cell–mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity responses (DTHRs) into single steps, we localized a central defect to the missing TNFR1 expression by endothelial cells (ECs). Adoptive transfer and mast cell knockin experiments into KitW/KitW-v, TNF−/−, and TNFR1−/− mice showed that the signaling defect exclusively affects mast cell–EC interactions but not T cells or antigen-presenting cells. As a consequence, TNFR1−/− mice had strongly reduced mRNA and protein expression of P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 during DTHR elicitation. In consequence, intravital fluorescence microscopy revealed up to 80% reduction of leukocyte rolling and firm adhesion in TNFR1−/− mice. As substitution of TNF−/− mice with TNF-producing mast cells fully restored DTHR in these mice, signaling of mast cell-derived TNF through TNFR1-expressing ECs is essential for the recruitment of leukocytes into sites of inflammation.Keywords
