摘要

Positive and negative selection of thymocytes in the thymus are critical for the development of a mature and self-tolerant T-cell repertoire. The proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bim is important for negative selection by inducing apoptosis in thymocytes receiving a strong signal through their antigen receptor. However, in the case of ubiquitous self-antigens (UbA), Bim is not required for the clonal deletion of self-reactive thymocytes, suggesting the existence of nonapoptotic clonal deletion mechanisms. Unlike UbA, clonal deletion to tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs) requires positive selection and CCR7-mediated migration to the medulla. This led us to hypothesize that Bim is required for the latter. To study the role of Bim in clonal deletion to TRA, we constructed bone marrow (BM) chimeras using OT-I Bim-deficient or -sufficient donor bone marrow and recipients that express membrane bound chicken ovalbumin under control of the rat insulin promoter (Rip-mOVA). We found that clonal deletion to TRA was completely abrogated in the absence of Bim and large numbers of mature OT-I CD8 T cells survived in the periphery. Despite the large numbers of autoreactive T cells, the chimeras did not develop diabetes and OT-I Bim-deficient T cells from these chimeras were functionally impaired. Collectively, these data provide unique evidence of a differential, thymocyte-intrinsic, molecular requirement downstream of the T-cell receptor (TCR) for clonal deletion to UbA versus TRA and highlight the profound ability of other tolerance mechanisms to control T-cell autoreactivity in the absence of thymic clonal deletion.
