Gene expression analysis of thymocyte subsets

ABSTRACT: Mouse thymocytes can be classified into four major subsets based on expression of CD4 and CD8 co-receptors. CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN) cells become CD4+CD8+ (double positive, DP) cells following productive T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain rearrangement. A small proportion of DP cells are selected through interaction of clonal TCRalpha/beta and MHC self peptide complex expressed on thymic stromal cells. DP cell expressing MHC class I-restricted TCR become CD4-CD8+ cells, which will finally differentiate into cytotoxic T cells, while MHC class II restricted selection generates CD4+CD8- helper lineage T cells. We used microarrays to identify genes important for thymocyte differentiation and lineage determination by profiling gene expression in different thymocyte subsets. Mouse thymocytes were divided into four subsets based on CD4, CD8a, and TCRb expression and purified by flw cytometry. FACS purified DN (CD4-CD8a-TCRb-), DP (CD4+CD8a+), CD4SP (CD4+CD8a-TCRbhi) and CD8SP (CD4-CD8a+TCRbhi) populations were lysed in Trizol, and provided to the Genomics Core Facility of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) for quality control, quantification, reverse transcription, labeling and hybridization to MOE430A 2.0 microarray chips (Affymetrix). Arrays were scanned per the manufacturer’s specifications for the Affymetrix MOE430v2 chip.

scRNAseq in Pten enhancer wild-type or deleted thymocytes, enriched for immature thymocyte stages (CD4-CD3-)

Project description:Single cell suspensions of total thymocytes were obtained from Pten enhancer (PE) wild-type or knockout mice. This single-cell suspension was enriched in CD4-CD3- immature thymocyte progenitor cells. CD4-CD3- enriched thymocytes were then mixed 1:1 with single-cell suspensions from total unenriched thymocytes and subsequntly loaded in a 10x Chromium instrument for single-cell RNAseq analyses. Our results revealed Pten levels are signifcantly decreased in CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) thymocytes, CD8+ intermediate single positive (ISP) thymocytes and CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes in PE knockout mice, compared to PE wild-type mice.

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.

Pre-T cell receptor Self-MHC Sampling Restricts Thymocyte Dedifferentiation

Project description:Programming T lymphocytes to distinguish self from non-self is a vital, multi-step process arising in the thymus. Signalling through the pre-T cell receptor (preTCR), a CD3-associated heterodimer comprising an invariant pTα chain and a clone-specific β chain, constitutes a critical early checkpoint in thymocyte development within the αβ T-cell lineage. Recent work demonstrates that preTCRs arrayed on double negative (DN) thymocytes, like αβ TCRs appearing on double positive (DP) thymocytes, ligate peptides bound to MHC molecules (pMHC) on thymic stroma but via a different molecular docking strategy. Here we show the consequences of those distinctive interactions for thymocyte progression, using synchronized fetal thymic progenitor cultures differing in the presence or absence of pMHC on support stroma, determining single cell transcriptomes at key thymocyte developmental transitions. Although MHC negative stroma fosters αβ T lymphocyte differentiation, the absence of pMHC-preTCR interplay leads to deviant thymocyte transcriptional programming associated with de-differentiation. Highly proliferative DN and DP subsets with antecedent characteristics of T cell lymphoblastic and myeloid malignancies emerge. Thus, in addition to fostering β chain repertoire broadening for subsequent αβ TCR utilization, preTCR-pMHC interaction limits cellular plasticity to facilitate normal thymocyte differentiation and proliferation that, if absent, introduces significant developmental vulnerabilities.

Paxbp1 is indispensable for the survival of CD4 and CD8 double-positive thymocytes

Project description:The lifespan of double-positive (DP) thymocytes is critical for intrathymic development and shaping the peripheral T cell repertoire. However, the molecular mechanisms that control DP thymocyte survival remain poorly understood. Paxbp1 is a conserved nuclear protein that has been reported to play important roles in cell growth and development. Its high expression in T cells suggests a possible role in T cell development. Here, we observed that deletion of Paxbp1 resulted in thymic atrophy in mice lacking Paxbp1 in the early stages of T cell development. Conditional loss of Paxbp1 resulted in fewer CD4+CD8+ DP T cells, CD4 and CD8 single positive (SP) T cells in the thymus, and fewer T cells in the periphery. Meanwhile, Paxbp1 deficiency had limited effects on the CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) or immature single-positive (ISP) cell populations. Instead, we observed a significant increase in the susceptibility of Paxbp1-deficient DP thymocytes to apoptosis. Consistent with this, RNA-Seq analysis revealed a significant enrichment of the apoptotic pathway within differentially expressed genes in Paxbp1-deficient DP cells compared to control DP cells. Together, our results suggest a new function for Paxbp1, which is an important mediator of DP thymocyte survival and critical for proper thymic development.

Expression data of murine T-ALL OT-1 (Tot-1si) with early expression of mature alphabeta TCR

Project description:In mice and humans, an immature CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) thymocyte subset expresses early, mature αβTCR. These early αβTCR+ DN (EADN) cells are susceptible to leukemogenesis in both species. Using the OT-1 TCR transgenic system to model EADN-stage αβ TCR expression, we found that EADN cells show coreceptor-independent reactivity to MHC, and their TCR:MHC dependent signals can drive T-ALL transformation. We generated gene expression data from OT-1 leukemic cells and assessed their developmental stage by comparing to wild-type thymocyte subsets.
