ThymoSpheres culture: a model to study human polyclonal unconventional T cells

ABSTRACT: In vitro cultures remain crucial for studying the fundamental mechanisms of human T cell development. Here, we introduce a novel in vitro cultivation system based on ThymoSpheres (TS): dense spheroids of DLL4 expressing stromal cells and human hematopoietic precursor cells (HPCs), in the absence of thymic epithelial cells. These spheroids are subsequently cultured at the air-liquid interphase. TS generate large numbers of mature T cells, are easy to manipulate, scalable, and can be repeatably sampled to monitor T cell differentiation. The mature T cells generated from primary human HPCs were extensively characterized using single-cell RNA and combinedT cell receptor (TCR) sequencing. These predominantly CD8α T cells exhibit transcriptional and CDR3 characteristics recently described in a human polyclonal αβ unconventional T cell (UTC) lineage. This includes the expression of hallmark genes associated with agonist selection, such as IKZF2(Helios), and expression of various Natural Killer (NK) receptors. The TCR repertoire of these UTCs is polyclonal and enriched for CDR3-associated autoreactive features and early rearrangements of the TCRα chain. In conclusion, TS cultures offer an intriguing platform to study the development of this human polyclonal UTC lineage and its inducing selection mechanisms.

Alpha/Beta Mouse TCR Sequencing of CD4+ thymic regulatory and conventional T-cells

Project description:Thymic regulatory T cells (tTreg) are critical in maintenance of normal T cell immunity and tolerance. The role of TCR in tTreg cell selection remains incompletely understood. Here we assessed TCRa and TCRb sequences of tTreg and conventional thymic CD4+ T (Tconv) cells by high throughput sequencing. We identified ab TCR sequences that were unique to either tTreg or Tconv cells and found that these were distinct as recognized by machine learning (ML) algorithm and by preferentially used amino acid trimers in ab CDR3 of tTreg cells. In addition, a proportion of ab TCR sequences expressed by tTreg were also found in Tconv cells, and ML classified the great majority of these shared ab TCR sequences as characteristic of Tconv and not tTreg cells. These findings identify two populations of tTreg, one in which Treg fate is associated with unique properties of the TCR, and another with TCR properties characteristic of Tconv cells for which tTreg fate is determined by factors beyond TCR sequence.

Parallel T-cell cloning and deep sequencing of the transcripts of human MAIT cells reveal stable oligoclonal TCRβ repertoire

Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant in humans and recognize conserved bacterial antigens derived from riboflavin precursors, presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like molecule MR1. Here, we show via transcriptomic analysis that human MAIT cells are remarkably oligoclonal in both blood and liver, display high inter-individual homology, and exhibit a restricted length CDR3β domain of the TCRVβ chain. We extend this analysis to a second sub-population of MAIT cells expressing a semi-invariant TCR conserved between individuals. Study of CDR3 regions of TCRalpha and beta sequences

T cell receptors repertoire sequencing of the human CD8+ naive subsets (CXCR3-,CXCR3+)

Project description:The presented data corresponds to the analysis of two discrete subsets of human CD8+ naive T cells, defined by positive and negative expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 (TNR3-, TNR3+). In this study we demonstrated that these subsets have different potential to generate fully-differentiated effector T cells following antigen-specific stimulation. The performed systematic immune repertoire analysis (T cell receptor beta chain (TRB)) of the sorted cell subsets revealed diverse physico-chemical properties of TRB CDR3 sequences suggesting enhanced TCR self-reactivity in human TNR3+ cells. In total, we analyzed 74 samples (from 11 patients, 3 replicates of each cell subset (excluding one missing replicate) and additionally for 3 patients CD8+ memory T cells in 3 replicates). We used the Human TCR Profiling Kit (MiLaboratory LLC) for sequencing libraries preparation and Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencing (150+150bp) followed by the demultiplexing procedure using MIGEC software (https://github.com/mikessh/migec).

Single-cell analysis of human fetal and post-natal γδ thymocytes reveals distinct functional programming.

Project description:Developmental thymic waves of innate-like and adaptive-like gd T cells have been described, but the current understanding of γδ T cell development is mainly limited to mouse models. Here, we combined single cell (sc) RNA gene expression and sc γδ T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing on fetal and pediatric γδ thymocytes in order to understand the ontogeny of human γδ T cells. Mature fetal γδ thymocytes were committed to either a type 1, a type 3 or type 2-like effector fate, independent from γδ T cell subset type (Vγ9Vδ2 vs nonVγ9Vδ2), and were enriched for public CDR3 features upon maturation. Strikingly, type 1, type 3 and type 2 cells expressed different CDR3 sequences and followed distinct developmental trajectories. In contrast, the pediatric thymus generated only a small effector subset that was highly biased towards Vγ9Vδ2 TCR usage and showed a mixed type 1/type 3 effector profile. Thus, our combined dataset of gene expression and detailed TCR information at the single-cell level defines γδ thymocyte development in human and provides a resource for further study.

Impact of Jmjd3 and Utx histone demethylases on Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27Me3) in mature CD4 SP thymocytes

Project description:While histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27Me3) is associated with gene silencing, whether H3K27Me3 demethylation affects transcription and cell differentiation in vivo has remained elusive. To investigate this, we conditionally inactivated the two H3K27Me3 demethylases, Jmjd3 and Utx, in non-dividing intrathymic CD4+ T cell precursors. We show that both enzymes redundantly promote H3K27Me3 removal at, and expression of, a specific subset of genes involved in terminal thymocyte differentiation, especially S1pr1, encoding a sphingosine-phosphate receptor required for thymocyte egress. Floxed alleles of the genes encoding Utx and Jmjd3 (Kdm6a and Kdm6b, respectively) were deleted in double positive (DP) thymocytes carrying a CD4 Cre transgene. Genome-wide H3K27Me3 ChipSeq was performed on (i) pre-selection (CD69lo) DP thymocytes from wild-type mice carrying an endogenous polyclonal TCR repertoire, (ii) mature (TCRhi CD24lo) CD4 SP thymocytes from wild type (Wt), Jmjd3KO, UtxKO and dKO mice carrying an endogenous polyclonal TCR repertoire and (iii) mature (Va2hi CD24lo) CD4 SP thymocytes from wild type and dKO mice carrying the OTII TCR transgene.

A mechanism for expansion of the regulatory T cell repertoire and its role in enforcing self-tolerance

Project description:To investigate the influence of CNS3, a cis-regulatory element in the Foxp3 locus, on the selection of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire of regulator CD4+ T cells (Treg), we crossed Foxp3ΔCNS3-gfp or control Foxp3gfp mice to DO11.10 TCRβ transgene and Tcra-/+ background. We isolated Treg and conventional CD4+T cells from thymus, spleen and lymph nodes of Foxp3ΔCNS3-gfp DO11.10 TCRβ Tcra-/+ or Foxp3gfp DO11.10 TCRβ Tcra-/+ male littermates, and sequenced the TCRα chains. Analysis of the diversity of Complementary Determining Region 3 (CDR3) of TCRα showed a distinct clustering of CNS3-deficient Treg cells from the CNS3-sufficient ones.
