Gene expressions in reaggregated thymus organ culture (RTOC) and 2D culture of thymic stromal cells

ABSTRACT: Comparison of gene expression profiles between RTOC and 2D culture of thymic stromal cells Beta5t, which is a specific subunit of thymoproteasomes, is indispensable for maturation of CD8+ T cells. beta5t is expressed in thymus, and it is necessary for its expression to maintain 3D architecture of thymus. To search for the genes associated with its expression, we performed the microarray analysis, and compared expression levels of each gene between reaggregate thymus organ culture (RTOC) and 2D culture of thymic stromal cells.

Expression data from thymic endothelial cells after damage

Project description:The thymus is extremely sensitive to damage but also has a remarkable ability to repair itself. However, the mechanisms underlying this endogenous regeneration remain poorly understood and this capacity diminishes considerably with age. To identify alternate regeneration pathways in the thymus, we performed an unbiased transcriptome analysis of the non-hematopoietic (CD45-) stromal cell compartment of the thymus, which is less sensitive to thymic damage compared to the CD45+ hematopoietic compartment. Recent work has suggested that ECs can contribute towards thymic regeneration via their production of so-called angiocrine factors. Using a technique to constitutively activate the Akt pathway in ECs using the pro-survival adenoviral gene E4ORF1, ECs can be propagated and expanded ex vivo (exEC) while maintaining their phenotype and vascular tube formation capacity. We compared the gene expression of freshly isolated thymic ECs and exEC-derived from the thymus.

Transcriptome analysis of thymic epithelial cells and thymic non-epithelial stromal cells from young, middle-aged and castrated middle-aged male mice

Project description:The thymus is primarily responsible for generating naïve, self-tolerant T cells from hematopoietic precursors. Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) together with other stromal cells create a specialized microenvironment which orchestrates the major selection processes for T cell development. Thymic function progressively deteriorates as part of the aging process, with a dramatic loss in TECs and T cell production, and this ultimately constrains the host immune repertoire. We have previously demonstrated the role of sex steroids in thymic involution in male mice, with surgical castration of middle-aged (9-12 month) male mice resulting in thymus regeneration, peaking around day 28. We have also demonstrated phenotypic alterations in TEC subsets within one week following castration that may contribute to this transient thymus regeneration effect. In this study, we aimed to examine genetic alterations in TEC and non-TEC stromal cell subsets (predominantly fibroblasts and endothelial cells) during age-related thymic involution (5-6 week old young adults compared to 9-12 month middle aged); and genetic changes in TEC and non-TEC at several timepoints following castration, to identify factors that may be involved in thymus regeneration.

Bi-directional signaling by membrane-bound KitL induces proliferation and co-ordinates thymic endothelial cell and thymocyte expansion

Project description:The ligand for the c-Kit receptor, KitL, exists as a membrane-associated (mKitL) and a soluble form (sKitL). KitL functions outside c-Kit activation have not been identified. We show that co-culture of c-Kit– and mKitL–expressing NIH3T3 cells results in signaling through mKitL: c-Kit–bound mKitL recruits calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand (CAML) to selectively activate Akt, leading to CREB phosphorylation, mTOR pathway activation, and increased cell proliferation. Activation of mKitL in thymic vascular endothelial cells (VECs) induces mKitL- and Akt-dependent proliferation, and genetic ablation of mKitL in thymic VECs blocks their c-Kit responsiveness and proliferation during neonatal thymic expansion. Therefore, mKitL–c-Kit form a bi-directional signaling complex that acts in the developing thymus to coordinate thymic VEC and early thymic progenitor (ETP) expansion by simultaneously promoting ETP survival and VEC proliferation. This mechanism may be relevant to both normal tissues and malignant tumors that depend on KitL–c-Kit signaling for their proliferation.

Dynamic changes of nonepithelial thymic stroma during thymus organogenesis

Project description:The thymic stroma provides the microenvironment for T cell lineage commitment, development, maturation, and repertoire selection. While the thymic epithelial cell (TEC) compartment is relatively well characterised, a comparably detailed analysis of the non-TEC stromal compartment including the endothelial cells and fibroblasts is currently lacking. Here, we probe the composition of thymic mesenchymal cells and their dynamic change during thymus organogenesis. Using a single cell transcriptomic approach, we identify previously unappreciated heterogeneity within the non-TEC stromal compartment and demonstrate dynamic shifts within non-TEC stromal cell populations over thymic development. We then use a compound heterozygous model (Tbx1+/-Crkl+/-) for 22q11.2DS syndrome to show that significant reductions of multiple mesenchymal subpopulations associated with functional defects and accelerated aging are associated with the thymic hypoplasia observed in this condition. Thus, we provided a comprehensive picture of non-TEC thymic stromal development and their functional defects in a disease model of thymic hypoplasia.

microRNA expression in thymic epithelial cells

Project description:Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) support T cell development in the thymus. Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) facilitate positive selection of developing thymocytes whereas medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) facilitate the deletion of self-reactive thymocytes in order to prevent autoimmunity. The mTEC compartment is highly dynamic with continuous maturation and turnover, but the genetic regulation of these processes remains poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of TEC genetic programs since miRNA-deficient TECs are severely defective. However, the individual miRNAs important for TEC maintenance and function and their mechanisms of action remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-205 is highly and preferentially expressed in mTECs during both thymic ontogeny and in the postnatal thymus. This distinct expression is suggestive of functional importance for TEC biology. Genetic ablation of miR-205 in TECs, however, neither revealed a role for miR-205 in TEC function during homeostatic conditions nor during recovery from thymic stress conditions. Thus, despite its distinct expression, miR-205 on its own is largely dispensable for mTEC biology. In order to identify miRNAs differentially expressed in mTECs, we purified cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs), mTECs and CD45+ cells as three distinct populations and prepared RNA for microarray analysis. Thymic subsets were FACS-purified from 4-week old NOD wildtype mice. Thymi from 10-12 female mice were pooled together for stromal cell isolation for a total of 3 CD45+, 2 cTEC and 3 mTEC biologic replicates.

Expression data from thymic non-hematopoietic stromal cells after damage

Project description:The thymus is extremely sensitive to damage but also has a remarkable ability to repair itself. However, the mechanisms underlying this endogenous regeneration remain poorly understood and this capacity diminishes considerably with age. To identify alternate regeneration pathways in the thymus, we performed an unbiased transcriptome analysis of the non-hematopoietic (CD45-) stromal cell compartment of the thymus, which is less sensitive to thymic damage compared to the CD45+ hematopoietic compartment. Concentrating on a model of thymic damage caused by a sublethal dose of total body irradiation (SL-TBI), where after an initial depletion of thymic cellularity with regeneration initiated after a nadir between days 3-4 and complete recovery by day 42, we found significant upregulation at both days 4 and 7 of several genes known to be involved in thymic function.
