Project description:In early gene therapy trials for SCID-X1, using γ-retroviral vectors, T cell leukemias developed in a subset of patients secondary to insertional proto-oncogene activation. In contrast, we have reported development of T cell leukemias in SCID-X1 mice following lentivirus-mediated gene therapy independent of insertional mutagenesis. A distinguishing feature in our study was that only a proportion of transplanted γc-deficient progenitors were transduced and therefore competent for reconstitution. We hypothesized that reconstitution of SCID-X1 mice with limiting numbers of hematopoietic progenitors might be a risk factor for lymphoid malignancy. To test this hypothesis, in the absence of transduction, SCID-X1 mice were reconstituted with serially fewer wild-type hematopoietic progenitors. A robust inverse correlation between hematopoietic progenitor cell dose and T-lymphoid malignancy was observed, with earlier disease onset at lower cell doses. Malignancies were of donor origin and carried activating Notch1 mutations. These findings align with emerging evidence that thymocyte self-renewal induced by progenitor deprivation carries an oncogenic risk that is modulated by intra-thymic competition from differentiation-committed cells. Although insertional proto-oncogene activation is required for the development of malignancy in humans, failure of γc-deficient thymocytes to effectively compete with this at-risk cell population may have also contributed to oncogenesis observed in early SCID-X1 trials.

Project description:Effect of an immunosupressive dose of TCDD, a ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, on the gene expression profile of fetal DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants C57BL6 mice were mated and the pregnant dams sacrifice at day 15 of gestation. Fetal thymic lobes were prepared and cultured for 6 days on culture inserts (5-6 lobes/culture insert). Medium, containing either 10 nM TCDD or solvent control was exchanged every 48 hours. At day six (gestation day 21, corresponding to birth), single cell suspensions of the thymocytes were prepared and CD4-CD8- cells isolated by MACS sorting. Purity of the population was checked FACS analysis, to be greater 95%. RNA was purified (TRIZOL), amplified (Ambion Kit) and processed (Affymetrix standard protocol) according to manufacturers instructions. Raw cell files were processed with the bioconductor affy package

Project description:Microarray analysis of thymic deletion in the B10 mouse strain; The gene expression patterns of thymocytes at the pre-selection stage and undergoing positive selection or negative selection were compared in the C57BL/10-H2k (B10k) strain. In order to sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing positive selection the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was used, which directs thymocyte development towards a MHC class II-restricted HEL-reactive lineage. To sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing negative selection, the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was crossed to the insHEL transgenic, which expresses HEL under the control of the insulin promoter in the thymic stroma, leading to efficient negative selection at the early single positive (CD4+CD8low) stage. To prepare the samples, thymic cell suspensions from female 6-8 week old B10k mice, either 3A9 TCRHEL or 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics, were stained with CD4-FITC, CD69-PE, CD8-PerCP, and 1G12 supernatant (which recognises the 3A9 TCRHEL complex) followed by anti-IgG1-APC, and sorted. Pre-selection cells (from both transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8+CD69-1G12low. Cells undergoing positive selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL transgenics) or negative selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8lowCD69+1G12high. Experiment Overall Design: Single positive or double positive thymocytes from B10 mice were compared to those from B10 TCRHEL transgenic mice. 3 biological replicaes were used for each of the 4 different groups of thymocytes.

Project description:In the earliest step of thymic organogenesis, mesenchymal cells support the growth of thymic epithelial cells (TECs). It is established that TECs and thymocytes influence each other for their growth/differentiation, a process called thymic crosstalk. However, little is known about the influence of developing thymocytes or TECs on mesenchymal cells. Here, we show that during normal thymus development fibroblast ingrowth occurs towards hypoxic areas. Similar overgrowth of mesenchymal cells is seen in a fetal thymic organ culture system under low oxygen conditions. However, when thymocytes were depleted by deoxyguanosine treatment, mesenchymal cells were also induced, precluding the direct effect of hypoxia. In the fetal thymus of hCD3εTg mice, which lack T lineage cells, an overgrowth of mesenchymal cells can be seen at a very early stage of thymic organogenesis. The growth of the mesenchymal cells is due to extensive proliferation and not mere enrichment. With RNA sequencing analysis comparing hCD3εTg with wild type TECs, we identified candidate factors that could be involved in mesenchymal network formation.

Project description:We report that a large percentage of thymic B cells undergo class switching intrathymically. Thymic B cell class switching requires cognate T-B interaction. To determine whether B cell specificity was also important for thymic B cell class-switching, we sorted class-switched thymic B cells (CD19+B220+IgM-IgD-), unswitched B cells (CD19+B220+IgM+IgD+) and bulk splenic B cells in 3H9 heavy chain-fixed mice and performed high throughput sequencing analysis of the light chain of these populations. Results of this analysis indicated that class-switched thymic B cells have a distinct repertoire compared with unswitched thymic B cells and splenic B cells. Further reactivity tests indicated that a large part of BCRs enriched in class-switched thymic B cells are autoreactive. These data suggest that autoreactive B cells are selected into class-switched population and expanded in the thymus. Light chain repertoire profiles of class-switched thymic B cells, unswithced thymic B cells and splenic B cells from 3H9 mice were generated by deep sequencing.

Project description:Thymic antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including thymic dendritic cells (t-DCs) and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) have been described to play a critical role in thymic Treg generation. Our findings could show that both these thymic APCs can induce a more pronounced demethylation of Foxp3 and other Treg-specific epigenetic signature genes in developing Tregs when compared to splenic DCs. In order to elucidate the unique properties of thymic APCs, gene expression profiling was performed in comparison to splenic DCs. Transcriptome analysis of thymic APCs revealed differential expression of costimulatory molecules that could be involved in stable Treg generation. Importantly, both mTEC- and t-DC- induced alloantigen-specific Tregs displayed significantly higher efficacy in prolonging skin allograft acceptance when compared to alloantigen-specific Tregs generated by splenic DCs.
