Project description:During T cell development in the thymus, negative selection eliminates autoreactive and potentially harmful T cells, leading to central tolerance. This process, involves specific apoptosis programs thought to be governed by the transcription factor Nur77. To analyze the genetic pathways involved in thymic negative selection and to point to new genes involved in thymic selection, we performed a high throughput temporal expression profiling of thymocytes from HNT-TCR transgenic mice undergoing specific peptide-mediated thymic negative selection, using oligonucleotide microarrays. We used HNT-TCR transgenic mice that are on a B10D2 background and express a transgenic TCR (V beta 8), specific for the HA peptide (HNTNGVTAACSHE) presented by MHC class II I-A^d. In this model of thymic negative selection, a single injection of the specific HA peptide induces massive and synchronized deletion of thymocytes. In this study, we analyzed the dynamically regulated genes over a 24 hours period, with a focus on the early time points of 3 and 6 hours after peptide injection.
