    Abstract miRNAs regulate a large variety of developmental processes including development of the immune system. T cell development is tightly controlled through the interplay of transcriptional programs and cytokine-mediated signals. However, the role of individual miRNAs in this process remains largely elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that hematopoietic cell-specific loss of miR-17∼92, a cluster of six miRNAs implicated in B and T lineage leukemogenesis, resulted in profound defects in T cell development both at the level of prethymic T cell progenitors as well as intrathymically. We identified reduced surface expression of IL-7R and concomitant limited responsiveness to IL-7 signals as a common mechanism resulting in reduced cell survival of common lymphoid progenitors and thymocytes at the double-negative to double-positive transition. In conclusion, we identified miR-17∼92 as a critical modulator of multiple stages of T cell development.

    Abstract T-cell development in the thymus depends on continuous supply of T-cell progenitors from bone marrow (BM). Several extrathymic candidate progenitors have been described that range from multipotent cells to lymphoid cell committed progenitors and even largely T-lineage committed precursors. However, the nature of precursors seeding the thymus under physiologic conditions has remained largely elusive and it is not known whether there is only one physiologic T-cell precursor population or many. Here, we used a competitive in vivo assay based on depletion rather than enrichment of classes of BM-derived precursor populations, thereby only minimally altering physiologic precursor ratios to assess the contribution of various extrathymic precursors to T-lineage differentiation. We found that under these conditions multiple precursors, belonging to both multipotent progenitor (MPP) and common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) subsets have robust T-lineage potential. However, differentiation kinetics of different precursors varied considerably, which might ensure continuous thymic output despite gated importation of extrathymic precursors. In conclusion, our data suggest that the thymus functions to impose T-cell fate on any precursor capable of filling the limited number of progenitor niches.
