Comprehensive analysis of circRNA expression profiles and circRNA-associated ceRNA networks in age-related changes of mouse thymus

ABSTRACT: Our findings further expand the current knowledge regarding the biology of ceRNAs and their regulatory roles in thymic development and involution process. These newly discovered networks provide more ideas for further research about age-related thymic changes in the future.

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

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine whether thymic tuft cells activation during acute thymic involution is mediated by IL-13, which is produced by ILC2 upon involution and the receptor for which is expressed by tuft cells. For this purpose we sorted thymic tuft cells from WT mice, treated them ex vivo with recombinant IL-13 for 24 hours, and performed bulk RNA-Seq.

mRNA-seq of thymic epithelial cells from PBS or IL-33 treated thymus

Project description:Severe infection commonly results in T cell aging, which leads to impaired pathogen clearance or increased secondary infection in both humans and animals. However, the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that severe infection-induced IL-33 production resulted in acute thymic involution-mediated naive T cell aging and impaired host control of infection in mouse disease models of schistosomiasis or sepsis. Furthermore, we illustrated that IL-33 triggered excessive generation of medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) IV (thymic tuft cells) in a Pou2f3-dependent manner, as a consequence, disturbed mTEC/cortical TEC (cTEC) compartment and caused acute thymic involution during severe infection. More importantly, IL-33 deficiency or IL-33 receptor ST2 deficient thymus transplantation rescued T-cell immunity to better control infection in mice. Our findings not only uncover a novel link between severe infection-induced IL-33 and thymic involution-mediated naive T cell aging, but also suggest that targeting IL-33 or ST2 is a promising strategy to rejuvenate T cell immunity to better control severe infection.

Tuft cells and fibroblasts promote thymus regeneration through activation of a type-2 immune response [ex_vivo_ILC2]

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine whether thymic innate lymphoid cells type-2 (ILC2) activation during acute thymic involution is mediated by the alarmins IL-25 and IL-33. For this purpose we sorted thymic ILC2 from WT mice, treated them ex vivo with recombinant IL-25/IL-33 or both for 24 hours, and performed bulk RNA Seq.

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

Project description:The goal of this study was to understand the role of thymic tuft cells in thymic regeneration following dexamethasone-induced acute involution, and determine whether this is affected by IL-13, which is produced by ILC2 upon involution and the receptor for which is expressed by tuft cells. For this purpose we treated WT and Il13ra1 KO mice with dexamethasone, sorted tuft cells from their thymi 3 days after treatment when the thymus begins its recovery, at an earlier time point (18 hours) for comparison, or at a later time point (6d) when IL-13 has been released, and performed bulk RNA Seq.

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.

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

Project description:The goal of this study was to understand the role of thymic natural killer T cells (NKT) in thymic regeneration following dexamethasone-induced acute involution. For this purpose we treated WT mice with dexamethasone, sorted NKT from their thymi 3 days after treatment when the thymus begins its recovery, or at an earlier time point (18 hours) for comparison, and performed bulk RNA Seq.

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.
