CD4-positive T lymphocytes provide a neuroimmunological link in the control of adult hippocampal neurogenesis
Open accessAbstract
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis occurs in an exceptional permissive microenvironment. Neuroimmunological mechanisms might be prominently involved in the endogenous homeostatic principles that control baseline levels of adult neurogenesis. We show in this study that this homeostasis is partially dependent on CD4-positive T lymphocytes. Systemic depletion of CD4-positive T lymphocytes led to significantly reduced hippocampal neurogenesis, impaired reversal learning in the Morris water maze, and decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in the brain. No such effect of CD8 or B cells was observed. Repopulation of RAG2−/− mice with CD4, but not with CD8 cells again increased precursor cell proliferation. The T cells in our experiments were non-CNS specific and rarely detectable in the healthy brain. Thus, we can exclude cell-cell contacts between immune and brain cells or lymphocyte infiltration into the CNS as a prerequisite for an effect of CD4-T cells on neurogenesis. We propose that systemic CD4-T cell activity is required for maintaining cellular plasticity in the adult hippocampus and represents an evolutionary relevant communication route for the brain to respond to environmental changes.

CD4+ T cells are necessary for hippocampal neurogenesis in adult rodents.
“CD4+ T cells are necessary for hippocampal neurogenesis in adult rodents”
From Inflammatory T helper 17 cells promote depression-like behavior in mice (2013) · cites this paper as [28]
The Abstract and Discussion report that CD4+ T-cell depletion reduces adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mice, supporting a role in maintaining its baseline level. But the Discussion also says neurogenesis remained at low levels in CD4-depleted and CD4-knockout mice and could still increase with running. Thus, the paper does not establish that CD4+ T cells are necessary for neurogenesis to occur. Page numbers were not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
