RBPJ-dependent Notch signaling initiates the T cell program in a subset of thymus-seeding progenitors.

T cell specification and commitment require Notch signaling. Although the requirement for Notch signaling during intrathymic T cell development is known, it is still unclear whether the onset of T cell priming can occur in a prethymic niche and whether RBPJ-dependent Notch signaling has a role during this event. Here, we established an Rbpj-inducible system that allowed temporal and tissue-specific control of the responsiveness to Notch in all hematopoietic cells. Using this system, we found that Notch signaling was required before the early T cell progenitor stage in the thymus. Lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors in the bone marrow underwent Notch signaling with Rbpj induction, which inhibited development towards the myeloid lineage in thymus-seeding progenitors. Thus, our results indicated that the onset of T cell differentiation occurred in a prethymic setting, and that Notch played an important role during this event.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
