(Submitter supplied) Autoimmune regulator (Aire) is a unique transcriptional regulator that induces promiscuous expression of thousands of tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), a step critical for induction of immunological self-tolerance. Although several recent studies provided very important molecular insights into how Aire operates, a more comprehensive understanding of this process still remains elusive. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) Thymic central tolerance is essential to preventing autoimmunity. In medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), the Autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene plays an essential role in this process by driving the expression of a diverse set of tissue-specific antigens (TSAs), which are presented and help tolerize self-reactive thymocytes. Interestingly, Aire has a highly tissue-restricted pattern of expression, with only mTECs and peripheral extrathymic Aire-expressing cells (eTACs) known to express detectable levels in adults. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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.

(Submitter supplied) Promiscuous gene expression (pGE) of numerous self-antigens in thymic epithelial cells (TEC) enables the elimination of self-reactive T cells. The autoimmune regulator (Aire) is the only known molecular determinant driving pGE in the thymus but the existence of Aire-independent mechanisms has been inferred. Here, we analyzed the poly(A)+ transcriptome of TEC populations by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) in order to reveal differential features of Aire-induced vs. more...

(Submitter supplied) The deficiency of Aire, a transcriptional regulator whose defect results in the development of autoimmunity, is associated with reduced expression of tissue-restricted self-Ags (TRAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). Although the mechanisms underlying Aire-dependent expression of TRAs need to be explored, the physical identification of the target(s) of Aire has been hampered by the low and promiscuous expression of TRAs. more...

(Submitter supplied) The autoimmune regulator, AIRE, induces the transcription of thousands of peripheral tissue genes (PTGs) in thymic epithelial cells (TECs) to mediate immunological tolerance. The chromatin state required for optimal AIRE function in TECs and how this state is induced remains unclear. Using RNA-seq and ATAC-seq, we tested the role of the histone acetyltransferase, KAT7 (also known as HBO1 or MYST2), which is essential for acetylation of histone 3 lysine 14 (H3K14), in TEC differentiation, AIRE-mediated PTG expression and thymic tolerance. more...

(Submitter supplied) Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) govern thymic T lymphocyte differentiation and selection. They can be divided into cortical and medullary TECs based on their anatomical location, function and molecular features. Cortical TECs (cTECs) provide the microenvironment for the commitment of haematopoietic precursors to the T lymphoid lineage and mediate the positive selection of CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) govern thymic T lymphocyte differentiation and selection. Medullary TECs are distinctive for their "promiscuous" gene expression, transcribing thousands of peripheral tissue genes (PTG) that are otherwise only expressed highly in one or two other organs. Much of this PTG expression by mTECs is controlled by the autoimmune regulator, AIRE. This experiment was part of a larger study in which we examined the impact of Kat7 loss on AIRE-mediated PTG expression. more...

(Submitter supplied) The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene disruption in a murine medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC 3.10 cell line) on the transcriptome of these cells during its adhesion with thymocytes. The mTEC-thymocyte adhesion is a crucial step for the negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes and prevention of autoimmune diseases. To generate Aire mutant cell clones, a total of 5x10^5 mTEC 3.10 cells were electro-transfected (Lonza Nucleofector) with CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid targeting the Aire Exon 3 (plasmid "all in one" encoding Aire Exon 3 gRNA + Cas9 + GFP, from Sigma-Aldrich). more...
