Regulation of Cutaneous Malignancy by gamma &dgr; T Cells

Michael Girardi,1* David E. Oppenheim,2* Carrie R. Steele,2 Julia M. Lewis,1 Earl Glusac,1 Renata Filler,1 Paul Hobby,3 Brian Sutton,3 Robert E. Tigelaar,1 Adrian C. Hayday2dagger

The localization of gamma delta T cells within epithelia suggests that these cells may contribute to the down-regulation of epithelial malignancies. We report that mice lacking gamma delta cells are highly susceptible to multiple regimens of cutaneous carcinogenesis. After exposure to carcinogens, skin cells expressed Rae-1 and H60, major histocompatibility complex-related molecules structurally resembling human MICA. Each of these is a ligand for NKG2d, a receptor expressed by cytolytic T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. In vitro, skin-associated NKG2d+ gamma delta cells killed skin carcinoma cells by a mechanism that was sensitive to blocking NKG2d engagement. Thus, local T cells may use evolutionarily conserved proteins to negatively regulate malignancy.
