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

Project description:Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is the primary regulator of necroptotic cell death. RIPK3 expression is often silenced in various cancer cells, which suggests that it may have tumor suppressor properties. However, the exact mechanism by which RIPK3 negatively regulates cancer development and progression remains unclear. This report indicates that RIPK3 acts as a potent regulator of homeostatic proliferation of CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes. Abnormal proliferation of RIPK3-deficient DP thymocytes occurs independently of the well-known role for RIPK3 in necroptosis (upstream of MLKL activation), and is associated with an incidental thymic mass, likely thymic hyperplasia. In addition, Ripk3-null mice developed increased thymic tumor formation accompanied by reduced host survival in the context of a N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced tumor model. Moreover, RIPK3 deficiency in p53-null mice promoted thymic lymphoma development via upregulated ERK signaling, which correlated with markedly reduced survival rates. Mechanistically, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) activates RIPK3, which in turn leads to increases in the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 2 (PP2A), thereby suppressing hyper-activation of ERK in DP thymocytes. Overall, these findings suggest that a RIPK3-PP2A-ERK signaling axis regulates DP thymocyte homeostasis and may provide a potential therapeutic target to improve thymic lymphoma therapies.

Project description:Microarray analysis of thymic deletion in the B10 mouse strain The gene expression patterns of thymocytes at the pre-selection stage and undergoing positive selection or negative selection were compared in the C57BL/10-H2k (B10k) strain. In order to sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing positive selection the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was used, which directs thymocyte development towards a MHC class II-restricted HEL-reactive lineage. To sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing negative selection, the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was crossed to the insHEL transgenic, which expresses HEL under the control of the insulin promoter in the thymic stroma, leading to efficient negative selection at the early single positive (CD4+CD8low) stage. To prepare the samples, thymic cell suspensions from female 6-8 week old B10k mice, either 3A9 TCRHEL or 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics, were stained with CD4-FITC, CD69-PE, CD8-PerCP, and 1G12 supernatant (which recognises the 3A9 TCRHEL complex) followed by anti-IgG1-APC, and sorted. Pre-selection cells (from both transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8+CD69-1G12low. Cells undergoing positive selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL transgenics) or negative selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8lowCD69+1G12high. Keywords: repeat

Project description: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.

Project description:PTEN is thought to play a critical role in T cell activation by negatively regulating the PI3K signaling pathway important for cellular activation, growth, and proliferation. T cells from mice in which PTEN was conditionally deleted in the thymus were reported to display CD28-independent IL-2 production and relative resistance to anergy induction. However, such observations could have stemmed from alterations in T cell development due to early deletion in thymocytes. To directly eliminate PTEN in post-thymic T cells, we utilized CAR Tg x PTENflox/flox mice which enabled gene deletion using a Cre adenovirus in vitro. Gene expression profiling revealed a small subset of induced genes that were augmented upon PTEN deletion and T cell stimulation. Our results indicate that deletion of PTEN can augment the activation of post-thymic T cells. Nonetheless, PTEN inhibition may be a viable target for immune potentiation due to increased cytokine production by activated CD4+ cells.

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 Four subsets of CD4+CD8-CD25-NK1.1- thymocytes from C57BL/6 mice of 6-8 wks of age were purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays, namely, SP1 (Qa-2-6C10+CD69+), SP2 (Qa-2-6C10-CD69+), SP3 (Qa-2-6C10-CD69-), SP4 (Qa-2+6C10-CD69-).
