HOXA3 was knocked down during the 3PPE-to-TEC transition to investigate its role in TEC differentiation and function. RNA-seq was performed on HOXA3 knockdown and control TEC-like cells (3 biological replicates each). HOXA3 knockdown disrupted epithelial differentiation and reduced TEC-associated gene expression, including K8, AIRE, and CD205, along with decreased FOXN1 protein. HOXA3-deficient TECs showed impaired support for T-cell generation from CD34+ progenitors. CXCL12 was identified as a downregulated gene and confirmed at mRNA and protein levels. Exogenous CXCL12 partially rescued the impaired T-cell-supporting function. This dataset provides insights into molecular regulation of human TEC differentiation.2026/08/24GSE344232GSM9973282GSM9973281GSM9973280GSM9973279GSM9973284GSM997328324676344232Homo sapiens
