Notably, there is a remarkable correlation between coreceptor expression and T cell function, such that CD4 coreceptor expression marks helper lineage T cells, whereas CD8 coreceptor expression is associated withcytolyticactivity.TheassociationbetweencoreceptorphenotypeandTeffector functionisthoughttobeimposedduringTcelldevelopmentinthethymus,where immature thymocytes that express both CD4 and CD8 coreceptor molecules, i.e., + + CD4 CD8 double-positive (DP) cells, make lineage decision into either CD4 single-positive (CD4SP) or CD8 single-positive (CD8SP) T cells [8, 28, 88]. The process of CD4 versus CD8 cell fate decision has fascinated immunologists for a long time. However, deciphering the molecular basis of this process turned out to be a daunting task. A major obstacle is the multiplicity of events that occur at the sametimewhenCD4versusCD8lineagecommitmentismade.Mostprominently, CD4/CD8lineagechoicecoincideswiththeTcellreceptor(TCR)-inducedpositive selection, which upregulates TCR expression. However, positive selection also induces changes in coreceptor expression, so that the exact cellular phenotype at lineagedecisionhadremainedobscureandconfusing[88].

In fact, it became evident thatcellfatedecisioninthethymus requiresadditional regulatory pathways,workinginconcertwithTCRsignalingtodeterminethelineagechoice. Aseriesofexperimentalresultsfollowedbyfurthergeneticevidencerevealedthis requirementtobethesignalingbyintra-thymiccytokines.Thus,cytokinesignaling activity specifies CD4/CD8 lineage fate during positive selection and further imposes T cell function and promotes maturation of post-selection thymocytes [10, 67, 74, 117]. In this article, we aimed to review our current understanding of CD4/CD8lineagechoiceduringTcelldevelopmentandtohighlightrecentfindings ontheroleofcytokinereceptorsignalinginthisprocess. 1.2 TCellDevelopmentandCD4/CD8LineageChoice inthe Thymus Because both CD4SP and CD8SP cells originate from DP thymocytes, early attempts to explain CD4 versus CD8 lineage choice were proposed around the ideathatlineagedecisionwasmadebyselectivelyextinguishingtheexpressionof one or the other coreceptor [23, 103]. The molecular identity of the signals that would instruct the termination of either CD4 versus CD8 coreceptor expression, however,remaineddisputed.Differenthypothesesandtheirvariationsofstochastic orinstructionalmechanismswereputforwardtoexplaintheprogressionofDPinto SPcells[4,5,7,28,103].BecauseforcedexpressionofanMHCclassI(MHC-I) restrictedTCRresultsinthegenerationofCD8Tcells,butMHCclassII(MHC-II)- restricted TCR transgenes produce CD4 T cells, evidently, lineage fate is encoded inthespecificityoftheTCR.However,itwasnotknownhowthisinformationwas extracted by the immune system and then translated into lineage specification. An attractivemodelthathasbeenfavoredforalongtimeproposedthatMHC-I-versus MHC-II-restricted TCRs differ in their signaling strength, such that strong TCR signalsterminateCD8expressionanddriveCD4lineagechoice,whereasweakTCR signals terminate CD4 expression and impose CD8 lineage fate [5, 28, 36, 103]. WithregardtothemolecularbasisofdistinctTCRsignalingstrength,itwasnoted thatCD4coreceptors,whichpreferentiallyassociatewithMHC-II-restrictedTCR, bindssignificantlylargeramountsofthetyrosinekinaseLckthanCD8coreceptors, which associates with MHC-I-specific TCR [97, 99, 100]. Thus, the “strength-of- signal”modelpositsthatCD4/CD8lineagechoiceismadeattheDPstage,where quantitativedifferencesinTCRsignalsinstructtheexpressionofanMHC-matched coreceptorthatassociateswiththesignal-transducingTCR[5,36,37,56,108].
