FADD regulates thymocyte development at the ?-selection checkpoint by modulating Notch signaling.


ABSTRACT: Non-apoptotic functions of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) have been implicated in T lineage lymphocytes, but the nature of FADD-dependent non-apoptotic mechanism in early T-cell development has not been completely elucidated. In this study, we show that tissue-specific deletion of FADD in immature (CD44(-)CD25(+)) thymocytes results in severe perturbation of ?? lineage development. Meanwhile, loss of FADD signaling at a later (CD44(-)CD25(-)) developmental stage does not affect subsequent T-cell development. Collectively, our work presents that FADD deficiency induces failed survival in double-negative 4 (DN4) cells, while pre-T-cell receptor (TCR) signal remains intact. In addition, Notch signaling is positive regulated on DN4 and double-positive thymocytes in T-cell-specific FADD-knockout mice, which express higher levels of a subset of Notch-target genes, including Hes1, Deltex1 and CD25. Moreover, a transcriptional repressor of Notch1, NKAP is downregulated coupled with the loss of FADD in thymocytes and is found to associate with FADD. These data suggest that as a death receptor, FADD is also required for cell survival in ?-selection as a regulator of Notch1 expression.

In this study, we show that tissue-specific deletion of FADD in immature (CD44(-)CD25(+)) thymocytes results in severe perturbation of αβ lineage development.
