Post-transcriptional control of T-cell development in the thymus.
Immunol. Lett. 247, 1-12 (2022)
T-cell development in the thymus is dependent on the continual colonization by bone-marrow derived progenitor cells. Once inside the thymus, progenitors undergo a series of well-defined differentiation events, including lineage commitment, somatic recombination of T-cell receptor (TCR) gene loci, and selection of clones with productively recombined yet non-autoreactive TCRs. Cell-cell interactions, cytokine signals, transcriptional as well as epigenetic programs controlling T-cell development are comparatively well-characterized. In contrast, the contribution of post-transcriptional control and its underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of post-transcriptional regulation of T-cell development, focussing on microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). We highlight the current challenges, and how they can potentially be overcome with evolving sophisticated methodology to enable a thorough mechanistic understanding and decipher the regulatory networks operating in the gene expression programs of T-cell development.
