Cholinergic regulation of thymocyte negative selection

ABSTRACT: Acetylcholine (ACh) and its receptors (AChRs) are widely produced by various kinds of immune cells and fine-tune both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, whether cholinergic signaling regulates immune cell development is unclear. Here, we show that mouse CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes express high levels of a9 nicotinic (n) AChR, and that this receptor controls the negative selection of thymocytes. Knock-out mice lacking a9 nAChR show an altered TCR repertoire and reduced CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in a mixed bone marrow chimera setting. Although thymic tuft cells, B cells, and a portion of T cells were all found to express choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and so are sources of ACh in mouse thymus, T cell-derived ACh plays a more important regulatory role. Our results thus reveal a new mechanism of immune cell development control that involves lymphocyte-mediated cholinergic signaling.

Single-cell transcriptome and TCR repertoire sequencing of cholinergic CD4+ T cells in liver cancer

Project description:ACh was originally isolated from spleen back in 1929, however, its contribution to immune regulation has only recently been appreciated. Subsets of both T and B lymphocytes have been found to express choline acetyltransferase (Chat) and produce ACh. To date, Chat-expressing T cells have been described as relaying neural signals in the spleen to modulate immune responses; regulating blood pressure; and promoting anti-viral immune responses. In a murine multi-hit model of hepatocellular carcinoma, we observed activation of the adaptive immune response and induction of Chat-expressing CD4+ T cells. These cholinergic T cells curtail the development of liver cancer by supporting anti-tumor immune responses. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptome and TCR repertoire of the Chat-expressing CD4+ T cells in healthy and HCC-bearing livers.

Tri-KIX_DP_thymocytes

Project description:To determine the effect of mutation of the KIX domain of CBP and p300 on gene expression, thymuses dissected from four to seven week old wild type and CBP KIX/KIX;p300 +/KIX adult mice were dissociated into single cell suspesions, antibody stained for CD4 and CD8, sorted for CD4+ CD8+ double positive thymocytes, RNA was made from the sorted cells and transcriptional profiling by array was carried out. CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocytes were chosen because these cells express c-Myb.

Molecular mechanism underline immune cell type population shift upon anti-DLL4 treatment

Project description:Molecular mechanism underline immune cell type population shift upon anti-DLL4 treatment C57BL/6 mice were injected with anti-DLL4, or an isotype control antibody as controls. Two weeks later mice were sacrificed, and thymi was harvested from 4 anti-DLL4 and 4 control animals. Total thymocytes, DN cells (CD4-CD8-) and DN1(CD4-CD8- CD44+CD25-) cells were isolated. Samples included in this data set are: 3 Thymocytes-anti-DLL4; 3 Thymocytes-isotype control; 3 DN1-anti-DLL4; 2 DN1-isotype controls; 3 DN-anti-DLL4; 3 DN-isotyoe control.

HDAC3 restrains cytokine signaling during thymocyte development for the generation of CD4 T cells (RNA-Seq)

Project description:CD4 and CD8 T cells are vital components of the immune system. According to the kinetic signaling model, commitment to the CD4 or CD8 lineage is determined by whether persistent TCR signaling or cytokine signaling predominates, respectively. We found histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is critical for the development of CD4 T cells, as its deletion leads to the generation of only CD8SP thymocytes. In the absence of HDAC3, MHC Class II-restricted OT-II thymocytes are redirected to the CD8 cytotoxic lineage. Analysis of histone acetylation and RNA-seq reveals HDAC3-deficient DP thymocytes are biased towards the CD8 lineage prior to positive selection. In addition, HDAC3-deficient DP thymocytes have increased IL-21R expression and STAT5 activation. As a result, HDAC3 is required to restrain cytokine signaling in DP thymocytes and is required for the generation of CD4 T cells.

Transcriptome of double-positive thymocyte precursors transduced with a retrovirus encoding Lin28a

Project description:We performed paired-end RNA-seq to compare the transcriptome of DP thymocytes that ectopically express Lin28 in vivo versus untransduced (GFP-ve) DP thymocytes. Transduced (GFP+) and untransduced (GFP-) CD4+ CD8+ CD3- thymocytes were sorted and pooled from three recipients of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells transduced with Lin28-RV six weeks post-reconstitution. Total RNA was extracted and paired-end library construction and sequencing was performed on oligo-dT purified RNA.

Gene expression profiling of thymocytes from conditional knock-out mice (FoxN1-Cre mediated KO of Gpr177)

Project description:Comparative gene expression profiling of thymocytes at the DP, CD4 SP and CD8 SP stage derived from FoxN1-Gpr177 mice (FoxN1-Cre mediated deletion of (Exon3 of) Gpr177/Wtls) or C57Bl/6N mice as comparison. Objective was to test the influence of TEC-secreted Wnt ligands on the transcriptome of thymocytes at the respective developmental stages.

Project description:The NOTCH1 signaling pathway is a critical determinant of cell fate decisions and drives oncogenesis through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. To elucidate tumorigenic pathways that cooperate with activated Notch1 in leukemogenesis,we performed miRNA expression profiling of normal CD4+CD8+ thymocytes, non-malignant ICN1 over-expressing CD4+CD8+ cells and ICN1-induced tumor CD4+CD8+ cells. Three groups of the murine T cells: Control CD4+CD8+ normal thymocytes vs.non-malignant ICN1-expressing CD4+CD8+ cells vs. ICN1-tumor CD4+CD8+ cells .
