Minimal edit, maximal effect: extended survival SCID pigs with single amino acid deletion [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) represents a critical area of research for understanding human immune disorders and developing therapeutic interventions. While murine models have provided valuable insights, their translational relevance is limited by physiological differences from humans. Here, we established and characterized a novel RAG2 biallelic knock out (RAG2bKO) model using TALEN-mediated gene editing, which demonstrates extended viability in specific pathogen-reduced facilities while maintaining complete immunodeficiency. Our model exhibits a precise in-frame deletion of a single histidine residue (p.His109del) in the RAG2 protein, resulting in structural destabilization and functional impairment. Comprehensive phenotypic analysis revealed complete thymic aplasia, splenic hypoplasia, and ablation of mature T and B lymphocytes. RNA-seq and H3K4me3 ChIP-seq approaches, including transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses, demonstrated conserved dysregulation of immune pathways across lymphoid tissues, with significant suppression of adaptive immune pathways and compensatory upregulation of innate immune mechanisms. The RAG2bKO pigs showed extended survival up to one year in controlled environments, representing a significant improvement over existing models. This large animal model provides a robust platform for studying SCID pathogenesis, evaluating long-term therapeutic interventions,

Gene expression profile of the IL2RG gene depletion in pig spleen and thymus

Project description:Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) occurs in various species, including humans, at a frequency as high as one per 50,000 live births. Generally, SCID can be classified according to the cause of the immunodeficiency, and it includes impaired cytokine-mediated signalling, defective V(D)J recombination, impaired pre-T-cell receptor signalling, and metabolic enzyme deficiencies. Although mice with disrupted SCID-causing genes have provided important insights into the human disease, not all the SCID mice have phenotypes that resemble those in human SCID patients. In humans, most SCID patients are reported to have impaired cytokine-mediated signalling in immune cells. IL2RG is a key component of the immune system, which is associated with the development of X-linked SCID in humans. Despite some phenotypic characterisations and functional studies being performed in SCID animals, little is known about the molecular basis of the different phenotypes of SCID in mouse and pig. In the present experiment, we generated monoallelic IL2RG (mIL2RG+/Δ69-368) KO pigs and investigated patterns of gene expression during their immune development in order to further explore our understanding of immune responses in X-linked SCID.

Gene expression profile of the RAG2 gene depletion on pig thymus

Project description:Pigs with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) may provide useful models for regenerative medicine, xenotransplantation, and tumor development and will aid in developing therapies for human SCID patients. Using a reporter-guided transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) system, we generated targeted modifications of recombination activating gene (RAG) 2 in somatic cells at high efficiency, including some that affected both alleles. Somatic-cell nuclear transfer performed with the mutated cells produced pigs with RAG2 mutations without integrated exogenous DNA. Biallelically modified pigs either lacked a thymus or had one that was underdeveloped. Their splenic white pulp lacked B and T cells. Under a conventional housing environment, the biallelic RAG2 mutants manifested a failure to thrive phenotype, with signs of inflammation and apoptosis in the spleen compared with age-matched wild-type animals by the time they were 4 wk of age. Pigs raised in a clean environment were healthier and, following injection of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), quickly developed mature teratomas representing all three germ layers. The pigs also tolerated grafts of allogeneic porcine trophoblast stem cells. These SCID pigs should have a variety of uses in transplantation biology.

Molecular and anatomical roadmap of stroke pathology in immunodeficient mice

Project description:Here, we assessed the stroke pathology of popular genetic immunodeficient mouse models using NOD scid gamma (NSG) and recombination activating gene 2 (Rag2–/–) mice as well as pharmacologically immunosuppressed mice and compared them to immune competent, wildtype (WT) C57BL/6J mice three weeks after injury.
