Project description:The Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) protein is expressed in thymic medullary epithelial cells, where it promotes the ectopic expression of tissue-restricted antigens needed for efficient negative selection of developing thymocytes. Mutations in AIRE cause APECED syndrome, which is characterized by a breakdown of self-tolerance. The molecular mechanism by which AIRE increases the expression of a variety of different genes remains unknown. Here, we studied AIRE-regulated genes using whole genome expression analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation. We show that AIRE preferentially activates genes that are tissue-specific and characterized by low levels of initial expression in stably transfected HEK293 cell model and mouse thymic medullary epithelial cells. In addition, the AIRE-regulated genes lack active chromatin marks, such as histone H3 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and acetylation (AcH3), on their promoters. We also show that during activation by AIRE, the target genes acquire histone H3 modifications associated with transcription and RNA polymerase II. In conclusion, our data show that AIRE is able to promote ectopic gene expression from chromatin associated with histone modifications characteristic to inactive genes. We compared the gene expression profiles of HEK293 cell-lines expressing either YFP (NC) or AIRE (AIRE1) proteins using Illumina BeadChips (GSE16877). Based on these results we chose more than 50 genes that where upregulated in the presence of AIRE and used chromatin immunoprecipitation and custom made Nimblegen tiling arrays to study the regions of 200kb up-and downstream of the genes in HEK293 cells expressing either YFP or AIRE protein. The following antibodies where used in the ChIP experiments: H3K4me3, AcH3, H3K27me3, H3, PolII and AIRE.

Project description:Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is a transcriptional regulator. We here assess the role for AIRE in primary human neutrophils. We found that the functional role for AIRE in neutrophils is to regulate the extrinsic apoptotic pathway involving the Fas/TNFR death receptors and Cathepsin G and the expression of unique immune mediators.

Project description:Autoimmune regulator (Aire) plays an indispensable role in the induction of central immune tolerance. We identify a novel subset of Rorγt-dependent innate lymphoid cell-type in secondary lymphoid organs, which presents endogenously generated antigens and contributes to peripheral T cell tolerance. In this experiment, transcriptomes of these Aire-ILC3 cells are characterized in wild-type Balb/C and Aire-/- Balb/C mice [Ramsey, C. et al. (2002) Hum Mol Genet 11:397-409] using RNA-seq method. To obtain the cells, peripheral lymph nodes were minced, enzymatically digested, and Aire-ILC3 cells were FACS-sorted as Lin-, MHCII+, CD80+, IL7Ra+ 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.
