Project description:Transcriptome was assessed in the transitions from the normal thymus (with regular progenitor turnover), to a thymus devoid of extrinsic progenitor competition for 10 weeks, to fully malignant T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Comparison of global gene expression between normal thymus, to thymus grafts with autonomous thymopoiesis, and T-ALL

Project description:During development, cortical (c) and medullary (m) thymic epithelial cells (TEC) arise from the third pharyngeal pouch endoderm. Current models suggest that within the thymic primordium most TEC exist in a bipotent/common thymic epithelial progenitor cell (TEPC) state able to generate both cTEC and mTEC, at least until embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) in the mouse. This view however, is challenged by recent transcriptomics and genetic evidence. We therefore set out to investigate the fate and potency of TEC in the early thymus. Here using single cell (sc) RNAseq we identify a candidate mTEC progenitor population at E12.5, consistent with recent reports. Via lineage-tracing we demonstrate this population is mTEC fate-restricted, validating our bioinformatics prediction. Using potency analyses we also establish that most E11.5 and E12.5 progenitor TEC are cTEC-fated. Finally we show that overnight culture causes most if not all E12.5 cTEC-fated TEPC to acquire functional bipotency, and provide a likely molecular mechanism for this changed differentiation potential. Collectively, our data overturn the widely held view that a common TEPC predominates in the E12.5 thymus, showing instead that sublineage-primed progenitors are present from the earliest stages of thymus organogenesis but that these early fetal TEPC exhibit cell-fate plasticity in response to extrinsic factors. Our data provide a significant advance in understanding of fetal thymic epithelial development and thus have implications for thymus-related clinical research, in particular research focussed on generating TEC from pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Antibody persistence frequently determines the longevity of immunity, yet the mechanisms that set antibody-producing plasma cell turnover rates are unestablished. While it is proposed that new plasma cells displace existing ones in competition for specialised survival niches, it is also possible that the spontaneous loss of existing plasma cells frees niches thereby creating opportunities for recruitment, possibilities with quite different implications for maximising antibody production and persistence. Here, using a genetic reporter to timestamp plasma cells, we define the distribution, phenotype, transcriptional program and population structure of long-lived plasma cells and calculate turnover dynamics. We show that the attributes of longevity are acquired and that turnover of long-lived plasma cells at homeostasis is unaffected by the absence of B cells, indicating that the mechanism of turnover is independent of competition. We propose that understanding plasma cell population dynamics may allow their manipulation to achieve specific outcomes.

Project description:T lymphocyte acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is frequently associated with increased expression of the E protein transcription factor inhibitors TAL1 and LYL1. In mouse models, ectopic expression of Tal1 or Lyl1 in T cell progenitors, or inactivation of E2a, is sufficient to predispose mice to develop T-ALL. How E2a suppresses thymocyte transformation is currently unknown. Here, we show that early deletion of E2a, prior to the DN3 stage, was required for robust leukemogenesis and was associated with alterations in thymus cellularity, T cell differentiation, and gene expression in immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. Introduction of wild-type thymocytes into mice with early deletion of E2a prevented leukemogenesis, or delayed disease onset, and impacted the expression of multiple genes associated with transformation and genome instability. Our data indicate that E2a suppresses leukemogenesis by promoting T cell development and enforcing inter-thymocyte competition, a mechanism that is emerging as a safeguard against thymocyte transformation. These studies have implications for understanding how multiple essential regulators of T cell development suppress T-ALL and support the hypothesis that thymus cellularity is a determinant of leukemogenesis

Project description:NUP98-PHF23 is oncogenic and results in a Hoxa/b + Meis1 overexpression in NP23 leukemias and in premalignant (clinically healthy) hematopoietic tissues. Gene expression profiles from AML, pre-T LBL and B-ALL were compared to wild type bone marrow, thymus and spleen tissues respectively. Similarly, gene expression profiles from premalignant (clinically healthy) NP23 bone marrow, thymus and spleen were compared to wild type bone marrow, thymus and spleen tissues respectively. 106A and 748T lymphoblastic cell lines were compared to wild type thymic tissue.
