The lncRNA and gene expression profiles during the early stages of mice thymic involution

ABSTRACT: In this study, we collected mice thymus at the age of 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months for sequencing to observe the lncRNA and gene expression profiles in the early stage of thymic involution. RNA-sequencing showed that 340 and 152 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) overlapped at 3- and 6-month-old groups compared with 1-month-old group in males and females, respectively. GO analysis showed that DEGs were significantly enriched in immune response activation, cell proliferation, and fatty acid metabolic process, etc. Next, we identified 15 causal transcription factors. Meanwhile, we identified 16 key DEGs and 29 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DEL), which overlapped both in the male and female groups of 3 months and 6 months for further analysis. Finally, we identified a novel lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA network related to adipocyte deposition using Cytoscape. In summary, this study systematically identified and analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNAs and genes during the early stages of thymic involution, which provided valuable data reference for further exploring the roles of lncRNAs in thymic involution.

Global transcriptional profiling reveals distinct functions of thymic stromal subsets and age-related changes during thymic involution

Project description:The thymic microenvironment is essential for proper differentiation and selection of thymocytes.Thymic involution in aged mice results in decreased T cell output and immune function. Here we use gene expression profiling of FACS sorted thymic stromal subsets to identify molecular mediators of thymocyte: stromal cell interactions, as well as gene expression changes thymic stromal subsets during early stages of thymic involution . We used microarrays to analyze gene expression differences between thymic stromal subsets from male C57BL/6J mice 1, 3, and 6 months of age. Thymic stromal subsets (cTEC, mTEClo, mTEChi, Sirpa-DC, Sirpa+DC, and fibroblasts) were isolated from two 1-, 3-, and 6- month old male C57BL/6J mice. After enzymatic digestion of the thymi, the stromal cells were FACS purified, and RNA was extracted, amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arraysarrays. Raw data were uploaded to Gene Expression Commons for normalization. Both raw CEL and normalized datasets from the 36 samples are included. A model within Gene Expression Commons has been created for analyses/comparisons of these datasets, along with previously reported thymocyte subset datasets. The model within Gene Expression Commons thus contains 6 thymic stromal populations, each from mice 1, 3, and 6 months of age, with duplicates for each datset.

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.

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.

Transcriptome analysis of murine thymocytes reveals age-associated changes in thymic gene expression

Project description:The decline in adaptive immunity, naïve T-cell output and a contraction in the peripheral T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire with age are largely attributable to thymic involution and the loss of critical cytokines and hormones within the thymic microenvironment. To assess the molecular changes associated with this loss of thymic function, we used cDNA microarray analyses to examine the transcriptomes of thymocytes from mice of various ages ranging from very young (1 month) to very old (24 months). Genes associated with various biological and molecular processes including oxidative phosphorylation, T- and B- cell receptor signaling and antigen presentation were observed to significantly change with thymocyte age. These include several immunoglobulin chains, chemokine and ribosomal proteins, annexin A2, vav 1 and several S100 signaling proteins. The increased expression of immunoglobulin genes in aged thymocytes could be attributed to the thymic B cells which were found to be actively producing IgG and IgM antibodies. Upon further examination, we found that purified thymic T cells derived from aged but not young thymi also exhibited IgM on their cell surface suggesting the possible presence of auto-antibodies on the surface thymocytes with advancing age. These studies provide valuable insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with thymic aging. Keywords: Thymocytes, thymic involution, aging, time course 3 replicates each from the 6, 16 and 24 month old animals were labeled with Cy-3 and hybridized with a Cy-5 labeled pool from 1 month old mice. The data from the 2 channels are being reported here separately.

Quiescent thymic epithelial cells contribute to regeneration following induced acute involution

Project description:This study aims at isolate a subpopulation of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) enrich in thymic epithelial progenitors. While recent studies have shown that bipotent TEC progenitors exist in adults, the identity of thymic epithelial progenitors (TEPCs) is still debated. Using an exclusively in vivo approach, we show that quiescent UEA1– TECs actively proliferate during thymic regeneration in 6-month-old mice and possessed a MHCIIlo Sca1hi CD49fhi CD24lo Plet1– phenotype. We then performed RNA sequencing of UEA1- quiescent (label-retaining cells, called LRCs) cells and compared them to UEA1- GFP- (nonquiescent, NonLRCs) TECs.

Efficient Mammary Gland Involution Requires c-Jun N-terminal kinase

Project description:Involution returns the lactating mammary gland to a quiescent state after weaning. The mechanism of involution involves collapse of the mammary epithelial cell compartment. To test whether the cJUN NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signal transduction pathway contributes to involution, we established mice with JNK deficiency in the mammary epithelium. We found that JNK is required for efficient involution. JNK deficiency did not alter the STAT3/5 or SMAD2/3 signaling pathways that have been previously implicated in this process. Nevertheless, JNK promotes the expression of genes that drive involution, including matrix metalloproteases, cathepsins, and BH3-only proteins. These data demonstrate that JNK has a key role in mammary gland involution post lactation.
