Abstract:
:The process of thymopoiesis is tightly regulated by a series of selection events which ensure that only functional T-lymphocytes directed against foreign antigens are exported into the periphery. The adaptive immune response largely depends on the regulation of thymocyte development, and thymocytes which fail selection in the thymus are removed by apoptosis. However, the roles of specific apoptotic proteins in early T-lymphocyte development are poorly understood. Here, we report a novel function for Bim in thymocyte development. There is an accumulation of thymocytes in Bim(-/-) mice that lack expression of CD4, CD8, CD44, and CD25 but express CD3 and TCRbeta. Further, the CD4(-)CD8(-)CD25(-)CD44(-)CD3(+)TCRbeta(+) thymocytes are smaller and do not proliferate. These data suggest that these thymocytes are mature DN thymocytes that may have down-regulated the expression of CD4 and CD8. The DN thymocyte phenotype in Bim(-/-) mice is unaffected by the additional loss of Bak or Bax and is similar to the thymic phenotype in mice lacking both Bak and Bax. These data demonstrate that Bim functions to ensure the proper homeostasis of mature thymocytes during selection and thymic export.
