It is well known that transfer of CD4+CD45RBhigh (naïve) T cells into syngeneic lymphocyte-deficient mice induces chronic colitis. However, no studies have reported the presence of small bowel inflammation in this T cell-dependent model. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare small and large bowel inflammation induced by transfer of naïve T cells into two different immunodeficient recipient mice. T and B cell-deficient recombinase activating gene 1-deficient [RAG knockout (KO)] and T cell-deficient T cell receptor-β × T cell receptor-δ double-deficient (TCR KO) mice were reconstituted with wild-type naïve T cells and observed for signs of disease. We found that reconstituted RAG KO mice developed moderate to severe colitis and inflammation of the entire small intestine at 6–8 wk after T cell transfer. Adoptive transfer of naïve T cells into TCR KO mice induced a milder form of chronic colitis and small bowel inflammation that was confined primarily to the duodenum at 10–12 wk after T cell transfer. T helper cell 1 and macrophage-derived proinflammatory cytokine mRNA levels correlated well with the localization and severity of the chronic large and small bowel inflammation. In addition, we observed comparable homing and expansion of donor lymphocytes in the gut and secondary lymphoid tissues of both recipients. Taken together, our data demonstrate that transfer of naïve T cells into immunodeficient recipient mice induces both chronic small and large bowel inflammation and that the presence of B cells in the TCR KO recipients may play a role in regulating chronic intestinal inflammation.

T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) are small circularized DNA elements produced during rearrangement of T cell receptor (TCR) genes. Because TRECS are fairly stable, do not replicate during mitosis, and are not diluted during division of naïve T cells1, they are suitable for assessing the number of newly formed T cells 2. In this study, we detected TRECs in 475 healthy Chinese children aged 0–18 years in different clinical settings. We found a strong correlation between TRECs levels and peripheral CD4 naïve T cell numbers, but not between TRECs levels and effector or memory CD4 and CD8 T cell numbers. TRECs levels fell significantly compared with normal controls in patients with severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) (n=7), wiskott-aldrich syndrome (WAS) (n=22), or activated PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS) (n=5). TRECs levels in those with signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) deficiency (n=8) decreased or did not change significantly, a finding consistent with that for CD4 naïve T cells. We also measured TRECs levels in seven PIDs after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (WAS=5; chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)=2), and found the complications after HSCT may reduce TRECs levels by interfering with production of naïve T cells. In conclusion, we established reference values for TRECs, which can be used to screen for primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) during early life and track immune reconstitution after HSCT.
