Single-cell immune profiling reveals thymus-seeding populations, T cell commitment, and multi-lineage development in the human thymus

ABSTRACT: Development of T lymphocytes in the thymus has been widely studied in mice, but our insights into human T cell development are scarce. Using a combination of single-cell techniques and functional assays, we report deep immune profiling of human T cell development, with a focus on the initial development stages of pre-lineage commitment. We identified three thymus-seeding progenitor populations that also have a counterpart in the bone marrow. We found that the human thymus physiologically supports development of monocytes, DCs, NK cells, and limited development of B lymphocytes. These insights are important to monitor and guide regenerative therapies after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Single-cell RNA Sequencing Resolves Spatiotemporal Development of Pre-thymic Lymphoid Progenitors and Thymus Organogenesis in Human Embryos

Project description:Human T lymphogenesis includes emergence, migration and thymus-seeding of T lymphoid precursor, followed by T-lymphocytes commitment in thymus, which are largely unknown. Here, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing using cells isolated from human hemogenic/hematopoietic sites such as aorto-gonad-mesonephros (AGM), liver, and thymic primordia spanning embryonic and fetal stages. The transcriptional atlas of thymic primordia illustrates the cellular trajectory of early T-lymphocyte development. Further, thymic seeding progenitors in liver and unique T lymphoid progenitors in AGM at CS14, are first unveiled. We also reveal the stepwise-specification of thymic epithelial cells，and the potential cell-cell interactions between T-lymphocyte progenitors and stromal cells during thymus organogenesis. Our data provide new insights into T lymphogenesis, which prospectively directs the efficient regeneration of T- lymphocytes from pluripotent stem cells

Integrated scRNA-Seq Identifies Human Postnatal Thymus Seeding Progenitors and Regulatory Dynamics of Differentiating Immature Thymocytes

Project description:During postnatal life, thymopoiesis depends on the continuous colonization of the thymus by bone marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitors that migrate through the bloodstream. The current understanding of the nature of thymic immigrants is largely based on data from pre-clinical models. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to examine the immature postnatal thymocyte population in humans. Integration of bone marrow and peripheral blood precursor datasets identified two putative thymus seeding precursors that varied in expression of CD7; CD10; and the homing receptors CCR7, CCR9, and ITGB7. Whereas both precursors supported T cell development, only one contributed to intrathymic dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, predominantly of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Trajectory inference delineated the transcriptional dynamics underlying early human T lineage development, enabling prediction of transcription factor (TF) modules that drive stage-specific steps of human T cell development. This comprehensive dataset defines the expression signature of immature human thymocytes and provides a resource for the further study of human thymopoiesis.

IL-2 and IL-15 drive intrathymic development of distinct periphery-seeding CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T lymphocytes

Project description:Development of Foxp3-expressing regulatory T-lymphocytes (Treg) in the thymus is controlled by signals delivered in T-cell precursors via the TCR, co-stimulatory receptors, and cytokine receptors. In absence of IL-2, IL-15 or their receptors, fewer Treg apparently develop in the thymus. However, it was recently shown that a substantial part of thymic Treg are cells that had recirculated from the periphery back to the thymus, troubling interpretation of these results. We therefore reassessed the involvement of IL-2 and IL-15 in the development of Treg, taking into account Treg-recirculation. In three-week-old mice, when substantial amounts of recirculating Treg are present in the thymus, we found similarly reduced proportions of newly developed Treg in absence of IL-2 or IL-15, and in absence of both cytokines even less Treg developed. In neonates, when practically no recirculating Treg were found in the thymus, the absence of IL-2 led to substantially more reduced Treg-development than deficiency in IL-15. IL-2 and IL-15 differentially modulated the CD25, GITR, OX40, and CD73-phenotypes of thymus-egress-competent and periphery-seeding Treg. Interestingly, IL-2 and IL-15 also modulated the TCR-repertoire expressed by developing Treg. Upon transfer into Treg-less Foxp3sf mice, thymus-exit-competent Treg from IL-2- (and to a lesser extent IL-15-) deficient mice suppressed immunopathology less efficiently than wt Treg. Taken together, our results firmly establish important non-redundant quantitative and qualitative roles for IL-2 and, to a lesser extent, IL-15 in intrathymic Treg-development.

Single-cell RNA sequencing resolves cellular heterogeneity throughout embryonic development of the thymus

Project description:This dataset consists of single-cell RNA-seq (Drop-seq) data from eight days of mouse thymus development. Samples span from embryonic day 12.5, when the thymus coalesces, until birth. They cover the whole thymus, including mesenchyme, endothelium, epithelium, thymocytes, and other lymphocytes. The dataset also includes Drop-seq data on Rag1-/- embryos and on fetal thymic organ cultures (control and a retinoic acid perturbation).

Project description:We have performed single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate human regulatory T cell development in the thymus. Treg cells were isolated from a postnatal thymus derived from a 7-week old infant. We examined the composition of the Treg cell compartment in the human thymus and aimed to dissect developmental pathways in Treg cell development.
