Initiation of nasopharyngeal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) development is independent of the programmed cytokine cascade necessary for the formation of Peyer's patches (PP) and peripheral lymph nodes (PLN), a cytokine cascade which consists of IL-7R, LTalpha1beta2/LTbetaR, and NIK. However, the subsequent organization of NALT seems to be controlled by these cytokine signaling cascades since the maturation of NALT structure is generally incomplete in those cytokine cascade-deficient mice. NALT as well as PP and PLN are completely absent in Id2(-/-) mice. NALT organogenesis is initiated following the adoptive transfer of CD3(-)CD4(+)CD45(+) cells into Id2(-/-) mice, constituting direct evidence that CD3(-)CD4(+)CD45(+) inducer cells can provide an IL-7R-, LTalpha1beta2/LTbetaR-, and NIK-independent tissue organogenesis pathway for secondary lymphoid tissue development.
鼻咽相关淋巴组织(NALT)发育的起始独立于派尔集合淋巴结(PP)和外周淋巴结(PLN)形成所必需的程序性细胞因子级联反应,该细胞因子级联反应由IL-7R、LTα1β2/LTβR和NIK组成。然而,NALT随后的组织形成似乎受这些细胞因子信号级联反应的控制,因为在那些细胞因子级联反应缺陷的小鼠中,NALT结构的成熟通常是不完全的。Id2(-/-)小鼠中完全不存在NALT以及PP和PLN。将CD3(-)CD4(+)CD45(+)细胞过继转移到Id2(-/-)小鼠后,NALT器官发生开始,这构成了直接证据,即CD3(-)CD4(+)CD45(+)诱导细胞可为次级淋巴组织发育提供一条独立于IL-7R、LTα1β2/LTβR和NIK的组织器官发生途径。
