MAIT cells at different developmental stages egress the thymus to colonize specific tissues and sense increases in peripheral ligands

Listed in NCBI GEO

MAIT but not iNKT cells can be selected by thymic epithelial cells, while both require CD4+CD8+ thymocytes for maturation.

Description

MAIT and iNKT cells have similar developmental dynamics and thymic-residency properties but proliferate at different developmental stages.MAIT cells exit the thymus in an S1PR-dependent manner at different maturation stages to colonize specific peripheral organs.PLZF+Tbet-RORgt- MAIT cells preferentially colonize the intestine in a CCR9-dependent manner.Thymic output contributes to peripheral MAIT and iNKT cell numbers at steady state.

Thymic MAIT17 cells are activated and expand in colitis and after bacterial exposure.
