New role for the (pro)renin receptor in T cell development


ABSTRACT: The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) was originally thought to be important in regulating blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), however it is emerging that PRR is instead generally essential for cellular development via its involvement in Wnt signalling. Here, we have specifically deleted PRR from T cells, which require Wnt for their development. T cell-specific PRR-knockout (cKO) mice (ATP6AP2flox/y;Lck-CRE) had a significant decrease in thymic cellularity, corresponding with a 100-fold decrease in the number of CD4+ and CD8+ thymocytes, and a large increase in double negative (DN) precursors. Further characterisation of DN T cell progenitors revealed that deletion of PRR impaired T cell development at multiple stages; including transition from DN3(CD25+CD44-) - DN4(CD25-CD44-), DN4-CD4+ CD8+ double positive (DP), DP-intermediate single positive (CD3-CD8+ ISP) cells. We performed gene expression analysis on sorted DN3 T cells, which indicated that PRR cKO T cells have perturbations in key cellular pathways essential at the DN3 stage, such as RNA processing and translation. Our study identifies a new role for PRR in multiple facets of T cell development, and gives further support to the notion that PRR is generally essential for cellular development.
