The link between thymic atrophy, skewed thymocyte differntiation and immunosuppression is still not fully resolved. This study investigates the TCDD elicted exprssion changes in the ET, cortical thymus epithelial cell line. Keywords: TCDD, AhR, thymic epithelial cells, thymic involution, thymus atrophy ET cells were grown to 80-90% confluence and treated with 5nM TCDD or solvent control (1,4-Dioxane, 0,05%V). 2h,4h and 6h after treatment, RNA was isolated using TRIzol and gene expression measured. All experiments wer done in biological duplicates.

Role of AhR in thymocyte emigration in vivo

Project description:Over-activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by TCDD in mice leads among other phenotypes to a severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. TCDD causes a block in thymocyte maturation and a preferential emigration of immature CD4-CD8- DN thymocytes (recent thymic emigrants) into the periphery. As part of this study gene expression profiles from DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants were generated from TCDD and solvent control mice Keywords: Affymetrix, TCDD, CD4-CD8- thymocytes, Thymus involution, thymic emigration, Ahr Female, 6-8 week old C57BL6 mice were i.p. injected with 10 M-BM-5g/kg TCDD. After 5 days mice were anesthezised and FITC injected into their thymi. after 24h mice were sacrificed and CD4-CD8-FITC+ cells isolated from thymus (thymocytes) and spleen (recent thymus emigrants).

Dynamic Changes in Lymphocyte Populations Establish Zebrafish as a Thymic Involution Model

Project description:The thymus is the site of T lymphocyte development and T cell education to recognize foreign, but not self, antigens. B cells also reside and develop in the thymus, although their function(s) are less clear. During ‘thymic involution,’ a process of lymphoid atrophy and adipose replacement linked to sexual maturation, thymic cells decline. However, thymic B cells decrease far less than T cells, such that B cells comprise ~1% of neonatal thymocytes, but up to ~10% in adulthood in humans. All jawed vertebrates possess a thymus, and we and others have shown that zebrafish (Danio rerio) also have thymic B cells. Here, we investigated the precise identities of zebrafish thymic T and B cells and how they change with involution. We assessed the timing and specific details of zebrafish thymic involution using multiple lymphocyte-specific, fluorophore-labeled transgenic lines, quantifying changes in thymic lymphocytes pre- vs. post-involution. Our results prove that, as in humans, zebrafish thymic B cells increase relative to T cells post-involution. We also performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on D. rerio thymic and marrow lymphocytes of four novel double-transgenic lines, identifying distinct populations of immature T and B cells. Collectively, this is the first comprehensive analysis of zebrafish thymic involution, demonstrating its similarity to human involution, and establishing the highly genetically-manipulatable zebrafish model as a template for involution studies.

Effect of an AhR-/- on transcription in CD4 T cells from the spleen.

Project description:CD4+ T cells from 8-12 week female mice were isolated from wt and AhR-/- mice 24h after injection of 10µg/kg TCDD or solvent control. Keywords: TCDD, AHR, immunosuppression

Effect of an AhR-/- on transcription in CD4 T cells from the spleen.

Project description:CD4+ T cells from 8-12 week female mice were isolated from wt and AhR-/- mice 24h after injection of 10Âµg/kg TCDD or solvent control. Keywords: TCDD, AHR, immunosuppression Each experiment was performed in biological duplicates from 4 pooled animals. Since TCDD treatment showed only marginal impact on the gene expression (~10 transcripts effected in wt mice) wt - ko comparisons were performed on pooled profiles from TCDD and solvent mice.

Next-generation sequencing of cTEC and mTEC isolated from non-pregnant and pregnant females lacking the expression of Klf4 (KO) or not (LOX)

Project description:Stress-induced thymic involution is defined by profound damage to thymic epithelial cells (TECs), resulting in an acute and transient reduction of thymopoietic capacity. During pregnancy, thymic involution is not associated with TEC loss but rather with TEC quality modifications. Study of the mechanisms of TEC maintenance during pregnancy may be of critical importance for identifying new players for thymic regeneration in other models of thymic involution. We report a strong enrichment for motifs recognized by KLF4 based on genes differentially expressed in TECs of pregnant females. Therefore, we studied the impact of Klf4 deletion in TECs during pregnancy by analyzing thymus composition and TEC transcriptome. Conditional Klf4 deletion in homeostatic conditions does not injure thymic integrity. However, pregnant females lacking Klf4 show a disrupted thymus with substantial loss of thymic epithelial cells. Klf4 maintains cTEC number during pregnancy by maintaining cell survival and inhibiting the transition to a mesenchymal state. Our study reveals Klf4 as a protective factor for TECs during pregnancy-associated thymic involution and represents a potential study subject for other models of stress-induced thymic involution.

Tuft cells and fibroblasts promote thymus regeneration through activation of a type-2 immune response [Tuft_after_irr]

Project description:The goal of this study was to understand the role of thymic tuft cells in thymic regeneration following irradiation-induced acute involution. For this purpose we treated WT mice with sublethal irradiation, sorted tuft cells from their thymi 3 days after treatment when the thymus begins its recovery, and performed bulk RNA Seq.

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.

Activation of Inflammation and Metabolic Networks in Age-related Thymic Involution.

Project description:Genetic modeling of thymic involution has demonstrated the importance of individual inflammatory pathways affecting the thymic microenvironment, particularly thymic epithelial cells (TEC). We studied the pathogenic processes in chronological aging of the murine thymus. We used microarrays to elucidate the global gene expression and to identify a leading edge subset of age-associated genes in TEC. Analyses of the TEC transcriptome demonstrated altered expression associated with inflammatory and fatty acid metabolism.
