Expression data of HDAC3-deficient and sufficient medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

ABSTRACT: Medullary thymic epithelial cells play essential role for induction of central self-tolerance by facilitating negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Although studies highlighted the non-canonical NFκB pathway as the key regulator of mTEC development, comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways regulating this process still remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), which is highly expressed by mTECs, on mTEC development and function. We used Affymetrix mouse 1ST arrays to analyze the impact of the Hdac3 gene on the gene expression profile of MHC-II medullary thymic epithelial cells

Expression data of HDAC3-deficient and sufficient medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells play essential role for induction of central self-tolerance by facilitating negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Although studies highlighted the non-canonical NFÎºB pathway as the key regulator of mTEC development, comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways regulating this process still remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), which is highly expressed by mTECs, on mTEC development and function. We used Affymetrix mouse 1ST arrays to analyze the impact of the Hdac3 gene on the gene expression profile of MHC-II medullary thymic epithelial cells Residual MHC-II low mTECs were flow-sorted from thymi isolated from HDAC3fl/fl (WT) and HDAC3fl/flFoxn1-Cre (HDAC3 cKO) 6weeks old mice. Typically, 10-30 HDAC3 cKOmice were pooled to obtain 30,000 sorted mTECs, which were then analyzed by gene expression profiling. Specifically, total RNA was extracted from ~30,000 pooled sorted cells using Trizol. Purified total RNA was then amplified using the MessageAmp RNA kit (Ambion). Biotinylated cRNA was then hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1-ST arrays by the genomics core at the Weizmann Institute

Expression data of Sirt1-deficient and sufficient medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells play essential role for induction of central self-tolerance. This functional capacity is mediated through a phenomenon known as promiscuous gene expression (pGE) of various tissue-restricted antigen (TRA) genes. pGE was previously shown to be mediated by a single factor called the Autoimmune regulator (Aire), which is specically expressed by mTECs. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of deacetylase Sirtuin1, which is also highly expressed by mTECs, on mTEC gene expression profile and compare it with the impact of Aire. We used Affymetrix mouse 1ST arrays to analyze the impact of the Sirt1 gene on the gene expression profile of MHC-II high medullary thymic epithelial cells Mature MHC-II high mTECs were flow-sorted from thymi isolated from B6.Sirt1fl/fl, B6.Sirt1fl/flFoxn1-Cre and B6.Aire–/– 6weeks old mice. Typically, 3 mice were pooled to obtain 30-60 thousand sorted mTECs, which were then analyzed by gene expression profiling. Specifically, total RNA was extracted from ~30,000 pooled sorted cells using Trizol. Purified total RNA was then amplified using the MessageAmp RNA kit (Ambion). Biotinylated cRNA was then hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1-ST arrays by the genomics core at the Weizmann Institute

Single-cell RNA-seq of murine medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:The capability of T cells for discrimination between self and non-self peptides is based on rigorous negative selection of developing thymocytes by medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). The mTECs purge autoreactive T cells by expression of cell-type specific genes referred to as tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs), therefore, the expression patterns of TRA genes can help understand development of mTECs and the regulatory mechanism during the development. We use single-cell RNA-sequencing to resolve patterns of TRA expression, and to elucidate how these patterns are changed during mTEC development. Thymi were collected from 2 and 4 week-old wild-type male and female mice. The mTEC suspension obtained from sorting was loaded onto the Fluidigm C1 platform using mediumsized capture chips (10-17m cells). External RNA Control Consortium (ERCC) spike-ins (Ambion, Life Technologies) were included in the lysis buffer. Reverse transcription and cDNA preamplification were performed using the SMARTer Ultra Low RNA kit (Clontech). The cDNA libraries for sequencing were prepared and libraries from 96 single cells were pooled and subsequently purified; pooled samples were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument.

Functionally diverse thymic medullary epithelial cells interplay to direct central tolerance

Project description:Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) are essential for the establishment of self-tolerance in T cells. Promiscuous gene expression by a subpopulation of mTECs regulated by nuclear protein Aire contributes to the display of self-genomic products to newly generated T cells. Recent reports have highlighted additional self-antigen-displaying mTEC subpopulations; namely, Fezf2-expressing mTECs and a mosaic of self-mimetic mTECs including thymic tuft cells. In addition, a functionally different subset of mTECs produces chemokine CCL21 that attracts developing thymocytes to the medullary region. Here we report that CCL21+ mTECs and Aire+ mTECs non-redundantly cooperate to direct self-tolerance to prevent autoimmune pathology by optimizing the deletion of self-reactive T cells and the generation of regulatory T cells. We also detected a cooperation for self-tolerance between Aire and Fezf2, which unexpectedly regulates thymic tuft cells. Our results indicate an indispensable interplay among functionally diverse mTECs for the establishment of central self-tolerance.

Genome-wide analysis of TRA (tissue restricted antigen)-specific co-expression groups in mouse medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Analysis of gene co-expression patterns in TRA-specific medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) subsets. The whole genome gene signatures of purified mTEC subsets respectively positive for the TRAs Gp2, Pdpn, Cea1, Gad1, Ins2, Tspan8 were compared to their corresponding TRA-negative mTEC subset control. Results provide the enriched and depleted gene expressions in the different subsets. Total RNA obtained from FACS isolated mTECs positive for the respective TRAs were compared to their TRA-negative mTEC subsets using specific antibodies (Pdpn, Gp2, Cea1, Tspan8) or reporter mice (Gad1, Ins2).

Genome-wide analysis of the TEC-specific Hipk2 gene knockout in mouse medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs)

Project description:Analysis of the role of Hipk2 in regulating gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells. The whole genome gene signatures of purified mTEC subsets (CD80 low, CD80 high) from TEC-specific Hipk2 knockout mice were compared to mating wildtype control mice (floxed, Cre-). Results provide the up- or down-regulated genes, affected by the Hipk2 gene knockout. Total RNA obtained from isolated CD80 low and CD80 high mTECs of TEC-specific Hipk2 knockout mice compared to control mice mTEC subsets

Tissue restricted antigen expression by medullary thymic epithelial cell subsets induces distinct autoreactive T cell fates

Project description:Cellular interactions in the thymus play an essential role in ensuring the development of a self-tolerant T cell repertoire. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) contribute to tolerance by expressing and presenting tissue-restricted antigens (TRA) so that developing T cells can assess the self-reactivity of their antigen receptors prior to leaving the thymus. This has largely been studied in the context of autoimmune regulator (Aire) dependent TRA expression in mature mTECs. Yet, mTECs are a heterogeneous population of cells that differentially express unique pools of TRA, and whether mTEC subsets induce distinct autoreactive T cell fates remains unclear. Here we attribute unique roles for mTEC subsets in directing distinct mechanisms of T cell tolerance that significantly impact infection and tumor control. These results have important implications in the design of effective therapeutic approaches that aim to modulate the function of self-reactive T cells.
