Popis: It is largely established that molecules first discovered in the nervous system are also found in the immune system. Neuropilin-1 (NP-1) was initially identified to mediate semaphorin-induced chemorepulsion during brain development and is also involved in peripheral T cell/dendritic cell interactions. Herein, we studied NP-1 during T cell development in the human thymus. NP-1 is expressed in both cortex and medulla of thymic lobules, being found in distinct CD4/CD8-defined thymocyte subsets. NP-1 is also found in thymic epithelial cells (TEC) in situ and in vitro , and is recruited at the site of TEC–thymocyte contact. Moreover, NP-1 was rapidly up-regulated during thymocyte stimulation by T cell receptor (TCR) and IL-7 or after adhesion to TEC. Semaphorin-3A (Sema-3A), a natural ligand of NP-1, is also present in human thymus, both in TEC and thymocytes, being up-regulated in thymocytes after TCR engagement. Functionally, Sema-3A decreases the adhesion capacity of NP-1 + thymocytes and induces their migration by a repulsive effect. In conclusion, we show here that NP-1/Sema-3A-mediated interactions participate in the control of human thymocyte development.
