Differential expression of circRNAs discriminates between different maturational stages of human intrathymic thymocytes.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable single stranded RNA molecules which form a covalently closed continuous loop. They are involved in multiple biological processes, functioning mainly through interactions with microRNAs and proteins or by the expression of specific peptides. Preliminary data exist on circRNA expression in different peripheral blood cell populations. Deregulation of circRNAs has been shown to be key in the development of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). However, a detailed analysis on circRNAs expression in intrathymic thymocyte populations was still missing and might be key to understanding thymus development as well as tumours arising in the lymphoblastic line. The aim of this study was to investigate whether circRNAs are differentially expressed in thymocytes at different maturational stages during the intrathymic differentiation process.

Total RNA seq transcriptome profiling of thymocytes

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable RNA molecules whose deregulation can drive disease and cancer mechanisms by impacting on their interactions with microRNAs and proteins and on expression of the encoded peptides. This study describes the landscape of circRNA expressed in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). Analysis by CirComPara of RNA-seq data of 25 T-ALL patients of five genetic T-ALL subtypes and human thymocyte populations from healthy donors detected over 68,500 circRNAs. Further study of 3 447 highly expressed circRNAs derived mostly from exonic regions of 1,966 loci informed prominent differences in circRNA expression between normal and malignant T-cells, with 944 circRNAs differentially expressed in T-ALL, mostly upregulated. Next, circRNA expression signatures of different molecular genetic subgroups were defined. Examination of circRNA expression variation during thymocyte maturation and comparison with putative-cell of origin of each T-ALL subtype identified ectopic group-specific circRNAs, whose expression and backsplice sequence were confirmed in T-ALL cell lines. Our findings on circRNAs significantly extend previous data on expression of linear transcripts in subtypes of human T-ALL, opening functional investigation of deregulated circRNAs so far uncharacterized in human T-ALL, including a few for which oncogenic roles or molecular functions have been already proven in different settings.

Intrathymic T-cell selection

Project description:Comparisons between untreated primary cells T-cell precursors from the thymus. CD69- thymocytes are from Zap70-deficent mice and are >95% CD4+CD8+. These cells fail to generate intrathymic TCR signals as a result of their lacking Zap70 molecules, and are thus representative of "preselection" CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. The CD69hi population comes from wildtype mice and is heterogeneous for CD4 and CD8 expression. These cells have been intrathymically TCR-signaled and are undergoing selection.

Identification and characterization of circular RNAs as a new class of putative biomarkers in human blood

Project description:Covalently closed circular RNA molecules (circRNAs) have recently emerged as a class of RNA isoforms with widespread and tissue specific expression across animals, oftentimes independent of the corresponding linear mRNAs. circRNAs are remarkably stable and sometimes highly expressed molecules. Here, we sequenced RNA in human peripheral whole blood to determine the potential of circRNAs as biomarkers in an easily accessible body fluid. We report the reproducible detection of thousands of circRNAs. Importantly, we observed that hundreds of circRNAs are much higher expressed than corresponding linear mRNAs. Thus, circRNA expression in human blood reveals and quantifies the activity of hundreds of coding genes not accessible by classical mRNA specific assays. Our findings suggest that circRNAs could be used as biomarker molecules in standard clinical blood samples. Sequencing of blood RNA from five healthy individuals (biological replicates) plus technical replicate of one sample and detection of circRNAs.

Origin of the sharp boundary that discriminates positive and negative selection of thymocytes.

Project description:T lymphocytes play a key role in adaptive immunity and are activated by interactions of their T cell receptors (TCR) with peptides (p) derived from antigenic proteins bound to MHC gene products. The repertoire of T lymphocytes available in peripheral organs is tuned in the thymus. Immature T lymphocytes (thymocytes) interact with diverse endogenous peptides bound to MHC in the thymus. TCR expressed on thymocytes must bind weakly to endogenous pMHC (positive selection) but must not bind too strongly to them (negative selection) to emerge from the thymus. Negatively selecting pMHC ligands bind TCR with a binding affinity that exceeds a sharply defined (digital) threshold. In contrast, there is no sharp threshold separating positively selecting ligands from those that bind too weakly to elicit a response. We describe results of computer simulations and experiments, which suggest that the contrast between the characters of the positive and negative selection thresholds originates in differences in the way in which Ras proteins are activated by ligands of varying potency. The molecular mechanism suggested by our studies generates hypotheses for how genetic aberrations may dampen the digital negative selection response, with concomitant escape of autoimmune T lymphocytes from the thymus.

Transcription profiling of human pre and pro B cells from patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leudemia

Project description:This data was generated as part of a larger study in to the leukemic stem cell potential of sorted childhood ALL populations. This work has been submitted for publication with the following summary. "We examined the leukemic stem cell potential of blasts at different stages of maturation in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Human leukemic bone marrow was transplanted intrafemorally onto NOD/scid mice. Cells sorted using the B precursor differentiation markers CD19, CD20 and CD34 were isolated from patient samples and engrafted mice before serial transplantation onto primary or subsequent (up to quaternary) recipients. Surprisingly, blasts representative of all the different maturational stages were able to reconstitute and re-establish the complete leukemic phenotype in vivo. Sorted blast populations mirrored normal B precursor cells with transcription of a number of stage appropriate genes. These observations lead to a new model for leukemia-propagating stem cells in childhood ALL." Diagnosis bone marrow specimens from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were FACS sorted into populations with surface expression CD34+CD19+ and CD34-CD19+. Expression analysis was performed to assess the developmental state of these two blast populations. These initial data have not been confirmed by RT PCR and should be viewed as preliminary. We are continuing with our work to further assess the transcriptional status of these populations.

Evolutionary transition from degenerate to non-redundant cytokine signaling networks supporting intrathymic T cell development

Project description:In mammals, T cell development in the thymus is critically dependent on the presence of the IL7 cytokine. Here, we describe the identification of the zebrafish ortholog of mammalian IL7, based on chromosomal localization, expression patterns, and deduced protein sequence. To examine the biological role of il7 in teleosts, we generated an il7 allele lacking most of its coding exons using CRISPR/Cas9-based mutagenesis. il7-deficient animals are viable, and exhibit no obvious signs of immune disorder. With respect to intrathymic T cell development, il7-deficiency is associated with only mild a reduction of thymocytes, contrasting with the much stronger reduction of T cell development il7r-deficient fish. Genetic interaction studies between il7 and crlf2(tslpr) suggest the contribution of an additional, as yet unidentified cytokine(s) to intrathymic T cell development. Such activities were also ascertained for other cytokines, such as il2 and il15, collectively indicating that, in contrast to the situation in mammals, T cell development in the thymus of teleosts is driven by a degenerate multi-component network of gc cytokines. This network configuration thus explains why deficiencies of single components have little detrimental effect. By contrast, the dependence on a single cytokine in the mammalian thymus has catastrophic consequences in case of congenital deficiencies in genes affecting the IL7 signaling pathway. We speculate that the transition from a degenerate to a non-redundant cytokine network supporting intrathymic T cell development emerged as the consequence of repurposing evolutionary ancient constitutive cytokine pathways for regulatory functions in the mammalian peripheral immune system.
