The Gfi1-Foxo1 axis controls the fidelity of effector gene expression and developmental maturation of thymocytes

ABSTRACT: Double-positive (DP) thymocytes respond to intrathymic TCR signals by undergoing positive selection and lineage differentiation into single-positive (SP) mature cells. Concomitant with these wellcharacterized events is the acquisition of a mature T cell gene expression program characterized by the induction of effector molecules IL-7Ra, S1P1 and CCR7, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. We report here that transcription repressor Gfi1 orchestrates the fidelity of DP gene expression program and developmental maturation into SP cells. Loss of Gfi1 resulted in premature induction of effector genes and transcription factors Foxo1 and Klf2 in DP thymocytes, and accumulation of post-selection intermediate populations and accelerated transition into SP cells. Strikingly, partial loss of Foxo1 function, but not restored survival fitness, rectified the dysregulated gene expression and thymocyte maturation in Gfi1-deficient mice. Our results establish Gfi1-Foxo1 axis and the transcriptional circuitry that actively maintain DP identity and shape the proper generation of mature T cells

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.

The pioneer transcription factors Foxa1 and Foxa2 regulate alternative RNA splicing during positive selection in the thymus

Project description:Here we show that the pioneer transcription factors Foxa1 and Foxa2 are required to regulate RNA splicing during positive selection at the transition from CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) to single positive (SP thymocyte). Conditional deletion of both Foxa1 and Foxa2 from DP thymocytes led to a partial arrest at the transition from DP to SP, with a reduction in the number of cells undergoing positive selection, and reduced the number and maturation of both CD4SP and CD8SP populations, with a reduction in peripheral naïve CD4+ T-cells. Foxa1 and Foxa2 were required for physiological levels of expression of several genes which encoding splicing factors (Mbnl1, Sf3b1, Hnrnpa1) in cells undergoing positive selection. Within the positively selecting CD69+DP cells, alternative RNA splicing was dysregulated leading to more than 859 significantly differentially expressed exons compared to control, with many genes important for T cell development and for RNA splicing showing differentially used exons.

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. Total RNA extracted from FACS-sorted primary mouse thymocytes. CD4/8 double positive (DP) thymocytes, CD4 single positive (CD4 SP) thymocytes and CD8 single positive (CD8 SP) thymocytes were FACS-sorted from conditional knock-out mice (FoxN1-Gpr177) and C57Bl/6N mice as comparison.

T-cell development

Project description:T cells develop from progenitors that migrate from the bone marrow into the thymus. Thymocytes are subdivided roughly as being double negative (DN), double positive (DP), or single positive (SP), based on the expression of the CD4 and CD8 coreceptors. The DN stage is heterogeneous and can be subdivided into four distinct subsets in mice based on the expression of CD44 and CD25. In human, three distinct DN stages can be recognized: a CD34+CD38−CD1a− stage that represents the most immature thymic subset and the consecutive CD34+CD38+CD1a− and CD34+CD38+CD1a+ stages. Human DN thymocytes mature via an immature single positive (ISP CD4+) and a DP stage into CD4+ or CD8+ SP T cells that express functional T cell receptors (TCR) and that exit the thymus. In this study, gene expression was measured in each of these nine stages.

Expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes

Project description:Review on the role of Bcl11b in thymus and periphery and impact on diseases RNA was extracted from DP thymocytes of bcl11bf/fCd4cre/tcra-/- and tcra-/- mice. Tcra-/- mice only have preselected DP thymocytes. Such mice were used to determine the role of Bcl11b before selection, considering the defective positive selection in bcl11bf/fcd4cre mice. RNA was isolated and submitted for library generation and microarray analysis to determine expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes.

Expression data from CD4 single positive thymocyte subsets from C57BL/6 mice of 6-8 wks of age

Project description:After positive selection in the thymus, the newly generated single positive (SP) thymocytes are phenotypically and functionally immature and undergo apoptosis upon antigen stimulation. In the thymic medullary microenvironment, SP cells progressively acquire immunocompetence. Negative selection to remove autoreactive T cells also occur at this stage. We have defined four subsets of CD4 SP, namely, SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 that follow a functional maturation program and a sequential emergence during mouse ontogeny. We used microarray to detail the global programm of gene expression during the maturation of murine CD4 single positive thymocytes

Expression data from developing thymocytes of N15TCR transgenic Rag2 deficient mice

Project description:T cell development relies on the precise developmental control of various cellular functions for appropriate positive and negative selection. Previously, gene expression profiling of peptide-driven negative selection events in the N15 TCR class I MHC-restricted mouse and D011.10 TCR class II MHC-restricted mouse has offered insights into the coordinate engagement of biological processes affecting thymocyte development. However, there has been little comparable detailed in vivo global genome expression analysis reported for positive selection. We used microarrays to identify the genes differentially expressed during CD8 single positive T cell development in N15 TCR transgenic Rag2 deficient mice. We have analyzed gene expression in the individual populations as development proceeds from DP, intermediate (Int), to SP subsets. To this end, we sorted the individual populations from six age and sex matched 5-6 week old N15 TCR tg+/+ RAG-2-/- H-2b mice for two independent experiments. For sorting subpopulations, cells were stained with anti-CD4 (L3T4) and anti-CD8 (Ly-2) antibodies (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA USA) and DP, Int and SP thymocytes were sorted on a MoFlo (Cytomation, Fort Collins, CO USA).

Glycosylation change in mouse CD8 T cells during development

Project description:Dr. Jameson's research focus is on development and regulation of lymphocytes, especially T cells. Recent work has suggested that differential glycosylation effects the sensitivity of the T cell receptors and its coreceptors, suggesting that regulation of glycosylation may be a critical element in controlling T cell development, survival and functional activity. Determination of how glycosylation enzymes/substrates change in gene expression during development of mouse CD8 T cells. Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. The goal is to build on data suggesting that this developmental step involves regulated expression of sialyltransferases (and/or neuraminidases). Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. Pre-selection CD4+8+ (DP) thymocytes were sorted from TCRa-/- thymi. Post-selection (post-positive selection) DP thymocytes came from an OT-I TCR transgenic mouse. Naïve (CD44lo) CD8 T cells from lymph node of OT-I mice were used as naïve CD8 T cells. For activated cells, naïve OT-I T cells were activated for 48 hours in vitro with cognate antigen (SIINFEKL peptide/Kb) (displayed on cell sized latex beads) in the presence of IL-2 and IL-12.
