Abstract：
:In order to elucidate possible roles of thymic nurse cells (TNC) we isolated them as lympho-epithelial cell complexes from spontaneous thymomas of BUF/Mna rats and characterized them using immuno- and enzyme-histochemical techniques. A remarkable increase in the number of TNC was seen at 8 months of age, immediately before or in accordance with the onset of thymomas. No structural abnormality in the TNC was detected by light-microscopy compared with those from normal control thymi. Phenotypically, the TNC per se were positive for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, class II, cytokeratin and thymulin, but lacked macrophage markers, indicating their epithelial origin. They also expressed some of the markers for non-epithelial components, such as Thy-1, S100 and peanut agglutinin (PNA). The majority of intra-TNC cells were MHC class 1+, Thy-1+, CD5+, CD4+ CD8+ (double positive) and PNA+, but with some heterogeneity in their phenotype. The intra-TNC cells from thymomas revealed higher proliferation indices than those from control thymi, as assessed by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-uptake. It was also demonstrated for the first time that, not only in thymoma rats but also in normal control rats, about 15-30% of TNC enclosed macrophage populations within them. These results may suggest that the TNC in BUF/Mna thymomas represent typical TNC populations, but they are hyperactive particularly in their number and nursing capacity, resulting in the unusual increment of thymocytes in the thymomas. This animal model lends itself greatly to studies on the regulatory roles of TNC in T-cell development.
