In jawed vertebrates the adaptive immune system is represented by two lineages of lymphocytes. B cells and T cells that express recombinatorial antigen receptors of enormous diversity known as immunoglobulins and the T cell receptor (TCR). The recent identification of recombined immune receptors that are structurally based on the TCR in subpopulations of neutrophils and eosinophils (referred to here as TCR-like immunoreceptors, \"TCRL\") provides unexpected evidence for the existence of flexible host defense mechanisms beyond the realm of lymphocytes. Consistent with this, subpopulations of monocytes and macrophages from humans and mice now have also been shown to constitutively express recombined TCR-like immunoreceptors. Available in vitro evidence suggests that the TCRL in macrophages may exert functions as facilitators of phagocytosis and self-recruitment. More importantly, our recent findings that the macrophage-TCRL is implicated in granuloma formation in tuberculosis and the neutrophil-TCRL is associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia establish for the first time a link between myeloid recombinatorial immune receptors and clinical disease. The discovery of recombined TCR-like immune receptors in granulocytes and macrophages extends the principle of combinatorial immune recognition to phagocytic cells. Conceptually, this unifies the two hitherto disparate cardinal features of innate and adaptive immunity, phagocytic capacity and recombinatorial immune recognition on a common cellular platform. Moreover, it strongly suggests that flexible host defense in vertebrates may operate on a broader cellular basis than currently thought.

Inflammation is also a well-established attribute of cancer progression and macrophages are one of the major immune cells that infiltrate tumors. Here, we demonstrate that the macrophage-TCR alpha beta is expressed in the tumor microenvironment of human and murine malignancies. We identify TCR alpha beta(+) macrophages in each case of four randomly selected distinct human tumor entities. In human tumor tissues, the TCR alpha beta expressed by macrophages in the tumor microenvironment is a combinatorial and individual-specific immune receptor. Furthermore, we routinely find TCR alpha beta(+) macrophage subpopulations in experimental tumors (TS/A, mammary adenocarcinoma) which we induced both in normal mice and mice deficient in the macrophage receptor stabilin-1. Expression of the combinatorial murine tumor macrophage TCRotS is individual-specific and independent of stabilin-1. These results demonstrate that TCR alpha beta expression is a characteristic feature of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment and identify an as yet unrecognized flexible element in the macrophage-based host response to tumors.

Here, we demonstrate the presence of a second recombinatorial immunoreceptor, which is structurally based on the TCR gamma- and delta-chains, in human and murine monocytes and differentially activated macrophages (referred to here as TCRLm gamma delta). In vitro, infection of macrophages with mycobacteria and gram positive or gram negative bacteria induced expression of donor-specific and differential TCRLm V delta repertoires indicating that the novel immunoreceptor represents a dynamic flexible host defense system that responds to bacterial challenge. In vivo, we find that TCRLm gamma delta bearing macrophages, which express highly restricted repertoires of the antigen-binding V delta chain, accumulate in the cerebrospinal fluid in acute bacterial meningitis and in advanced lesions of atherosclerosis. These results identify an as yet unrecognized monocyte/macrophage subpopulation that bears combinatorial TCRLm gamma delta immune receptors, and is associated with both acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Here, we demonstrate in vitro that macrophage-TCR beta repertoires are modulated by atherogenic low density cholesterol (LDL) and high-density cholesterol (HDL). In vivo, analysis of freshly obtained artery specimens from patients with severe carotid atherosclerosis reveals massive abundance of TCR alpha beta(+) macrophages within the atherosclerotic lesions. Experimental atherosclerosis in mouse carotids induces accumulation of TCR bearing macrophages in the vascular wall and TCR deficient rag(-/-) mice have an altered macrophage-dependent inflammatory response. We find that the majority of TCR alpha beta bearing macrophages are localized in the hot spot regions of the atherosclerotic lesions. Advanced carotid artery lesions express highly restricted TCR alpha beta repertoires that are characterized by a striking usage of the V beta 22 and V beta 16 chains.
