Project description:Subpopulations of human fetal thymocyte and circulating naïve T cells were obtained through FACS sorting, including CD3-CD4+CD8- intrathymic T progenitor cells (ITTP), CD3intCD4+CD8+ "double positive" thymocytes (DP), CD3highCD4+CD8- "single positive" thymocytes (SP4), CD3+CD4+CD8-CD45RA+CD62L+ naïve T cells from cord blood (CB4+), and CD3+CD4+CD8-CD45RA+CD62L+ naïve T cells from adult blood (AB4+).

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that mature regulatory T cells ( Tregs) develop in the thymus via two pathways involving distinct Treg progenitors (TregP) - CD25+FOXP3- (CD25+ TregP) and CD25-FOXP3lo (FOXP3lo TregP) Treg progenitors. To examine this process in more detail we carried out single-cell RNA-Seq and TCR-Seq on sorted CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes, CD4+ Ssingle -positive (CD4SP)P thymocytes, CD25+ TregP, FOXP3lo TregP, mature CD25+FOXP3+ Tregs and recirculating/long-term resident Tregs (RT-Tregs). Sorted populations were individually hashtagged and then combined into one scRNA-Seq/TCR-Seq library before sequencing and subsequent analysis. We found that both CD25+ TregP and FOXP3lo TregP arise via an initial agonist activated state that gives rise to a second transitional stage before differentiating into mature Tregs. Using both scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq on sorted thymocyte subsets we demonstrate that CD25+Foxp3- TregP are significantly enriched for Il2 production, suggesting that they are the major source of IL-2 needed to convert TregP into mature Tregs. Using TCR-Seq we found that several TCRs were clearly biased in favor of the conventional or Treg lineages, but that a large fraction of TCRs were found in both these lineages. Finally, we found that recirculating/resident Tregs in the thymus are not monomorphic, but are composed of multiple distinct subsets and that these RT-Tregs express the most diverse TCR repertoire of all CD4SP thymcocytes. Thus, our studies define multiple stages of Treg differentiation within the thymus, and serve as a resource for future studies on CD4+ thymocyte development and Treg differentiation.

Project description:Analysis of T-cells lacking the proprotein convertase furin. Proprotein convertases promote the proteolytic maturation of proproteins. Furin is induced in activated T-cells. Results provide insight into the function of furin in T-cells. CD4+CD62L+CD44- naive, CD4+CD62L-CD44+ memory and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells were isolated from Fur flox/flox and CD4 cre Fur flox/flox mice. Naive T cells were activated via TCR. Total RNA was extracted from all cells and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were isolated from a buffy coat (Australian Blood Bank) using Ficoll methodology. CD4+ T cells were isolated using Dynal Beads kit. Pure CD4+ T cells were then stained using a cocktail of monoclonal antobodies (mAbs), including: anti-CD4PE, CD45RO ECD, CD62L APC-Cy7, CD25 APC, CD127 Pacific Blue. After incubation, cells were washed twice in PBS/FCS (0.2%), and sorted into five different cell subsets: CD4+CD25+CD127low CD62L+CD45RO- (naive regulatory T cells), CD4+CD25+CD127low CD62L+/- CD45RO+ (activated regulatory T cells), CD4+CD25+CD127hi CD62L+/- CD45RO+ (memory T cells), CD4+CD25-CD127low CD62L+/- CD45RO+ (effector T cells) and CD4+CD25-CD127hi CD62L+ CD45RO- (naive T cells).

Project description:We investigated at which stage of maturation commitment to a stable Foxp3-expressing phenotype takes place. We assessed stability of Foxp3 expression in thymic Foxp3+ Treg subsets of different maturity, defined by CD24 expression. Next we compared gene expression profiles of Foxp3+ Treg subsets (+) of different maturity (24lo, 24int, 24hi) and could identify a set of genes that were specifically up or downregulated in Foxp3+ Tregs, but not in Foxp3- conventional T cells, in a maturation-dependent manner. Gene expression of Foxp3+ Treg subsets (+) of different maturity (24lo, 24int, 24hi) compared to their Foxp3- conventional Tcell subsets (-) counterpart.

Project description:We used whole genome transcriptome as gene discovery to further understand the differential behaviour of the first (embryonic) and second waves of thymic settling progenitors in the murine embryo. Mouse embryos at days 13 and 18 of gestation were isolated and the thymic lobes were dissected. Single cell suspension was prepared and treated with biotinilated antibodies to CD3, CD4, CD8, TER119, Gr1, CD25, CD19, NK1.1 and CD11c. Cell suspensions were then incubated with streptavidin Miltenyi Macs beads. Lineage negative thymocytes were recovered in Macs columns. Cell suspensions were then incubated with antibodies against CD135, CD117, CD44, CD24 and Streptavidin bound to PECy7. Lin-, CD117+, CD44+, CD24low, CD135+ cells were then isolated by cell sorting. 3 biological replicates of each sample were isolated with 104-3x104 cells

Project description:We analyzed open chromatin regions in thymic Treg cells, their immediate precursors (CD25+ Foxp3-), and mature and semi-mature CD4 single positive cells. We wished to understand which chromatin regions become accessible in response to TCR-stimulation and then Foxp3 expression as Treg cells develop.
