Aire is a transcriptional regulator that induces expression of peripheral tissue antigens (PTA) in thymic medullary epithelial cells (MECs), driving immunological self-tolerance in differentiating T cells. To elucidate its mechanistic pathways, we examined its transcriptional impact in MECs in vivo by microarray analysis with mRNA-spanning probes. This analysis revealed initiation of Aire-activated genes to be comparable in Aire-deficient and wild-type MECs, but with a block to elongation after ...[more]

Gene Expression Profile of Medullary Epithelial Cells isolated from thymus of Bone Marrow (BM) reconstituted RAG1 null (control) and SCID NOD mouse

Project description:We identified DNAPK as one of the major proteins that physically interact with Autoimmune regulator (Aire). To establish physiological significance of DNAPK in Aire-driven expression of PTA genes in MECs, we utilized BM-reconstituted SCID mice (which express non functional DNAPK in their MECs) and RAG1 null mouse as a control. MECs from these mutated/reconstituted mice were sorted by Flow cytomety and their expression profile was analyzed using Affymetrix chips. The analysis shows that Aire-dependent PTA genes are significantly underexpressed in reconstituted SCIDS vs. RAGs (Controls), suggesting the involvement of DNAPK in Aire-mediated gene expression. Keywords: gene mutation Since SCID mice lack mature thymocytes and as a result thymic stroma, we reconstituted these animals by BM transfer (IP injection into 2-4d pups) 6 hrs post-irradiation (200rad). Reconstituted thymi were analyzed 6-8w after transfer.

Gene expression profiling of perinatal or adult medullary thymic epithelial cells (MECs)

Project description:A comparative analysis of gene expression of perinate or adult Aire-GFP+ and GFP- MECs in WT or Aire-KO thymus Aire+ and Aire- MECs were sorted from adults (5 weeks old) or perinates (0-3 days old) of Aire-driven Igrp-GFP (Adig) mice in Aire-WT and -KO background. RNA from whole samples was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

Differential features of Aire-induced and Aire-independent promiscuous gene expression in thymic epithelial cells

Project description:Promiscuous gene expression (pGE) of numerous self-antigens in thymic epithelial cells (TEC) enables the elimination of self-reactive T cells. The autoimmune regulator (Aire) is the only known molecular determinant driving pGE in the thymus but the existence of Aire-independent mechanisms has been inferred. Here, we analyzed the poly(A)+ transcriptome of TEC populations by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) in order to reveal differential features of Aire-induced vs. –independent pGE. We report an unanticipated effect of Aire deletion on the proliferation and differentiation of cortical TEC. Moreover, the RNA-seq data reveal the breath of Aire-induced and –independent pGE in medullary TEC (mTEC) subsets and the extent of thymic peripheral tissue representation. The results suggest that Aire-induced promiscuously expressed transcripts affect several functions with far reaching biological consequences in mTEC. High-throughput characterization of TEC transcriptomes will enable progress in understanding TEC biology and the establishment of self-tolerance. The mRNA profiles of cTEC, mTEClo and mTEChi from 6-8 week-old wild type (WT) and Aire-/- (KO) mice were generated by RNA-sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2000.

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 Mature MHC-II high mTECs were flow-sorted from thymi isolated from B6.Sirt1fl/fl, B6.Sirt1fl/flFoxn1-Cre and B6.Aire–/– 6weeks old mice. Typically, 3 mice were pooled to obtain 30-60 thousand sorted mTECs, which were then analyzed by gene expression profiling. Specifically, total RNA was extracted from ~30,000 pooled sorted cells using Trizol. Purified total RNA was then amplified using the MessageAmp RNA kit (Ambion). Biotinylated cRNA was then hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1-ST arrays by the genomics core at the Weizmann Institute

Transcriptional regulation by Aire in medullary thymic epithelial cells revisited

Project description:The deficiency of Aire, a transcriptional regulator whose defect results in the development of autoimmunity, is associated with reduced expression of tissue-restricted self-Ags (TRAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). Although the mechanisms underlying Aire-dependent expression of TRAs need to be explored, the physical identification of the target(s) of Aire has been hampered by the low and promiscuous expression of TRAs. We have tackled this issue by engineering mice with augmented Aire expression. Integration of the transcriptomic data from Aire-augmented and Aire-deficient mTECs revealed that a large proportion of so-called Aire-dependent genes, including those of TRAs, may not be direct transcriptional targets downstream of Aire. Rather, Aire induces TRA expression indirectly through controlling the heterogeneity of mTECs, as revealed by single-cell analyses. In contrast, Ccl25 emerged as a canonical target of Aire, and we verified this both in vitro and in vivo. Our approach has illuminated the Aire?s primary targets while distinguishing them from the secondary targets.

Identification of a novel Aire-regulating cis-regulatory element using H3K27ac ChIP-seq

Project description:Thymic central tolerance is essential to preventing autoimmunity. In medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), the Autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene plays an essential role in this process by driving the expression of a diverse set of tissue-specific antigens (TSAs), which are presented and help tolerize self-reactive thymocytes. Interestingly, Aire has a highly tissue-restricted pattern of expression, with only mTECs and peripheral extrathymic Aire-expressing cells (eTACs) known to express detectable levels in adults. Despite this high level of tissue specificity, the cis-regulatory elements that control Aire expression have remained obscure. We used sequence conservation analysis and ChIP-seq against the enhancer-associated histone mark H3K27ac to identify a candidate Aire cis-regulatory element. There is enrichment of H3K27ac near this element, ACNS1, in mTECs and the element also has characteristics of being NF-ÎºB-responsive. Finally, we find that this element is essential for Aire expression in vivo and necessary to prevent spontaneous autoimmunity, reflecting the importance of this regulatory DNA element in promoting immune tolerance. Two experimental groups (GFP neg mTECs and GFP pos mTECs), each with three samples, and one control sample (D10 Th2 cells).
