TCR engagement on adherent human effector memory CD4(+) T cells by TNF-treated HUVECs under flow induces formation of a transendothelial protrusion (TEP) by the T cell but fails to induce transendothelial migration (TEM). In contrast, TCR engagement of the same T cell populations by TNF-treated human dermal microvascular cells (HDMEC) not only induces TEP formation, but triggers TEM at or near the interendothelial cell junctions via a process in which TEP formation appears to be the first step. Transduction of adhesion molecules in unactivated HDMEC and use of blocking Abs as conducted with TNF-activated HDMEC indicate that ICAM-1 plays a nonredundant role in TCR-driven TEP formation and TEM, and that TCR-driven TEM is also dependent upon fractalkine. TEP formation, dependence on ICAM-1, and dependence on fractalkine distinguish TCR-induced TEM from IP-10-induced TEM. These in vitro observations suggest that presentation of Ag by human microvascular endothelial cells to circulating CD4(+) effector memory T cells may function to initiate recall responses in peripheral tissues.
