Core Tip This study elucidated a critical pathogenic role for γδ T cells in driving intestinal fibrosis. Mechanistically, these cells promote fibrosis most likely by upregulating the CD73-adenosine receptor-cyclic AMP signaling pathway. Depletion of γδ T cells or pharmacological inhibition of CD73 attenuated fibrogenesis, as evidenced by reduced collagen deposition and profibrotic cytokine expression. Conversely, adoptive transfer of γδ T cells exacerbated disease severity. These findings nominate the γδ T cell-CD73-adenosine receptor-cyclic AMP pathway as a novel and promising therapeutic target for intestinal fibrosis.
