Single cell sequencing defines a branched progenitor population of stable medullary thymic epithelial cells

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play a critical role in central immune tolerance by mediating negative selection of autoreactive T cells through the collective expression of the peripheral self-antigen compartment, including tissue-specific antigens (TSAs). Recent work has shown that gene expression patterns within the mTEC compartment are remarkably heterogenous and include multiple differentiated cell states. To further define mTEC development and medullary epithelial lineage relationships, we combined lineage tracing and recovery from transient in vivo mTEC ablation with single cell RNA-sequencing in Mus musculus. The combination of bioinformatic and experimental approaches revealed a non-stem transit-amplifying population of cycling mTECs that preceded Aire expression. Based on our findings, we propose a branching model of mTEC development wherein a heterogeneous pool of transit-amplifying cells gives rise to Aire- and Ccl21a-expressing mTEC subsets. We further use experimental techniques to show that within the Aire-expressing developmental branch, TSA expression peaked as Aire expression decreased, implying Aire expression must be established before TSA expression can occur. Collectively, these data provide a higher order roadmap of mTEC development and demonstrate the power of combinatorial approaches leveraging both in vivo models and high-dimensional datasets.

ATAC-seq profiling of medullary thymic epithelial cells from wildtype and Kat7-knockout mice

Project description:Thymic epithelial cells govern thymic T lymphocyte differentiation and selection. Medullary TECs (mTECs) facilitate the negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the differentiation of FOXP3+ regulatory T cells. Medullary TECs are also distinctive for their “promiscuous” gene expression, transcribing thousands of peripheral tissue genes (PTG) that are otherwise only expressed highly in one or two other organs. Much of this PTG expression by mTECs is controlled by the autoimmune regulator, AIRE. To probe the mechanism by which KAT7 promotes AIRE function, we performed ATAC-seq to compare chromatin accessibility in MHCII-high medullary thymic epithelial cells from Kat7-knockout and wildtype mice.

Single cell RNA-seq of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC)

Project description:10x sequencing of TSPAN8+, GP2+ or Unselected medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) isolated from female C57BL/6, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 x BALB/c F1 mice with the intent to identify co-expression patterns in promiscuously expressed genes in individual mTEC.

Lymphtoxin pathway effects on thymic medullary epithelial cells

Project description:We compared gene expression profiles of lymphotoxin alpha- and lymphtoxin beta receptor-deficient thymic medullary epithelial cells with their wild-type littermates, as well as with Aire-deficient and wild-type littermates. This was done in order to determine whether there was overlap in the effects of lymphotoxin and aire. Keywords: genetic modification

Comparison of ectopic gene expression in Cdx1+/+ and Cdx1-/- thymic medullary epithelial cells

Project description:We have found that Cdx1 can promote ectopic gene expression in thymic epithelial cells. We isolated MHCIIhi CD80hi medullary thymic epithelial cells from Cdx1-/- and Cdx1+/+ and compare gene expression between the two subsets, also in the context of Cdx1-mediated changes in intestinal epithelial cells.

Expression data of HDAC3-deficient and sufficient medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells play essential role for induction of central self-tolerance by facilitating negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Although studies highlighted the non-canonical NFκB pathway as the key regulator of mTEC development, comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways regulating this process still remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), which is highly expressed by mTECs, on mTEC development and function. We used Affymetrix mouse 1ST arrays to analyze the impact of the Hdac3 gene on the gene expression profile of MHC-II medullary thymic epithelial cells

Functionally diverse thymic medullary epithelial cells interplay to direct central tolerance

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) are essential for the establishment of self-tolerance in T cells. Promiscuous gene expression by a subpopulation of mTECs regulated by nuclear protein Aire contributes to the display of self-genomic products to newly generated T cells. Recent reports have highlighted additional self-antigen-displaying mTEC subpopulations; namely, Fezf2-expressing mTECs and a mosaic of self-mimetic mTECs including thymic tuft cells. In addition, a functionally different subset of mTECs produces chemokine CCL21 that attracts developing thymocytes to the medullary region. Here we report that CCL21+ mTECs and Aire+ mTECs non-redundantly cooperate to direct self-tolerance to prevent autoimmune pathology by optimizing the deletion of self-reactive T cells and the generation of regulatory T cells. We also detected a cooperation for self-tolerance between Aire and Fezf2, which unexpectedly regulates thymic tuft cells. Our results indicate an indispensable interplay among functionally diverse mTECs for the establishment of central self-tolerance.

Expression data of Sirt1-deficient and sufficient medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells play essential role for induction of central self-tolerance. This functional capacity is mediated through a phenomenon known as promiscuous gene expression (pGE) of various tissue-restricted antigen (TRA) genes. pGE was previously shown to be mediated by a single factor called the Autoimmune regulator (Aire), which is specically expressed by mTECs. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of deacetylase Sirtuin1, which is also highly expressed by mTECs, on mTEC gene expression profile and compare it with the impact of Aire. We used Affymetrix mouse 1ST arrays to analyze the impact of the Sirt1 gene on the gene expression profile of MHC-II high medullary thymic epithelial cells
