CK12a, a CCL19-like Chemokine That Orchestrates both Nasal and Systemic Antiviral Immune Responses in Rainbow Trout [MUCOSAL IMMUNOLOGY]

Chemokines and chemokine receptors have rapidly diversified in teleost fish but their immune functions remain unclear. We report in this study that CCL19, a chemokine known to control lymphocyte migration and compartmentalization of lymphoid tissues in mammals, diversified in salmonids leading to the presence of six CCL19-like genes named CK10a, CK10b, CK12a, CK12b, CK13a, and CK13b. Salmonid CCL19-like genes all contain the DCCL-conserved motif but share low amino acid sequence identity. CK12 (but not CK10 or CK13) is constitutively expressed at high levels in all four trout MALT. Nasal vaccination with a live attenuated virus results in sustained upregulation of CK12 (but not CK10 or CK13) expression in trout nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue. Recombinant His-tagged trout CK12a (rCK12a) is not chemotactic in vitro but it increases the width of the nasal lamina propria when delivered intranasally. rCK12a delivered intranasally or i.p. stimulates the expression of CD8α, granulysin, and IFN- in mucosal and systemic compartments and increases nasal CD8α+ cell numbers. rCK12a is able to stimulate proliferation of head kidney leukocytes from Ag-experienced trout but not naive controls, yet it does not confer protection against viral challenge. These results show that local nasal production of CK12a contributes to antiviral immune protection both locally and systemically via stimulation of CD8 cellular immune responses and highlight a conserved role for CK12 in the orchestration of mucosal and systemic immune responses against viral pathogens in vertebrates.
