Figure Legend Snippet: Fgf21 mRNA is enriched in mature mTECs. ( A and B ) Expression levels of Fgf21 mRNA in the various tissues from 4-week-old C57BL/6 mice ( A ) and in the thymus of E15.5 and 0-, 4-, 8- and 12-week-old ( B ). Relative Fgf21 mRNA expression was normalised against 18S rRNA expression. ( C and D ) Thymic cell suspensions from 4-week-old C57BL/6 mice were assessed by flow cytometric analysis using anti-CD45 mAb, anti-EpCAM mAb, anti-MHC II (I-A/I-E) mAb, and UEA-1 lectin, and expression levels of Fgf21 mRNA were determined by RT-realtime PCR in the subpopulations of thymic cells from 4-week-old C57BL/6 mice. ( C ) Anti-CD45 and anti-EpCAM staining discriminated CD45 + , TEC (CD45 − EpCAM + ), and non-TEC stromal cell (CD45 − EpCAM − ) subpopulations. ( D ) Gated TECs were subdivided into cTEC hi (UEA-1 − MHC high ), cTEC lo (UEA-1 − MHC low ), mTEC hi (UEA-1 + MHC high ), and mTEC lo (UEA-1 + MHC low ) subpopulations. ( E ) Thymocytes were removed from embryonic thymi by 1.35 mM dGuo treatment for 6 days, and remaining stromal cells were stimulated with 1 μg/ml RANKL to induce the maturation of TECs. Fgf21 and Aire mRNA were increased along with TEC maturation. Graphs represent the mean ± SD; n ≧5 replicates per group from at least 2 independent experiments.

Figure Legend Snippet: CD4SP and CD8SP populations are decreased in Fgf21 KO mice. ( A and B ) Thymi and spleens were isolated from 4-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice, and their weights were measured. ( C ) Cell numbers of enzymatically digested suspensions from thymi and spleens were counted. ( D ) Thymocytes and splenocytes from WT and Fgf21 KO mice were stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 mAb. Representative flow cytometry plots show CD4/CD8 analysis of thymocytes and splenocytes from 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( E ) Charts show the percentage of DN, DP, CD8SP, and CD4SP cells from 1- and 4-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( F ) Charts show the percent of CD4SP and CD8SP cells from 1- and 4-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( G ) Thymocytes from 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice were defined by TCRβ and CD69 levels and subdivided into 5 subsets (T1; TCRβ − CD69 − , T2; TCRβ int CD69 − , T3; TCRβ int CD69 + , T4; TCRβ hi CD69 + , and T5; TCRβ hi CD69 − ). ( H ) Charts show the percentage of the 5 subsets from 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( I ) Gated CD4SP and CD8SP cells from 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice were defined by CD62L and CD24 levels and subdivided into CD24 + CD62L − immature and CD24 − CD62L + mature SP cells. ( J ) Charts show the percentage of CD24 + CD62L − immature and CD24 − CD62L + mature SP subsets from 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. All data shown are the mean ± SD from ≧6 mice per genotype from 2 independent experiments. *P < 0.05, *P < 0.01 versus WT mice.

Figure Legend Snippet: Thymic stromal cells are not obviously altered in Fgf21 KO mice. ( A ) Enzymatically digested thymic cell suspensions were stained with anti-CD45 mAb and anti-EpCAM mAb, and the TEC (CD45 − EpCAM + ) number was counted from the thymi of E14.5, E15.5, E18.5, and 4-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( B ) Immunohistochemistry of WT and Fgf21 KO thymi with anti-Keratin-5 antibody for a medullary TEC marker (left panels) and anti-Ly-51 antibody for a cortical TEC marker (right panels). ( C ) The ratio of Keratin-5-positive thymic medullary regions was measured from immunostained sections. ( D ) Gated TECs of 1-weeks old were subdivided into mTEC hi (Ly51 − MHC high ), mTEC lo (Ly51 − MHC low ), cTEC hi (Ly51 + MHC high ), and cTEC lo (Ly + MHC low ) subpopulations. Graphs represent the percentage of subpopulations. ( E ) The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of surface MHCII on the TEC was measured by flow cytometry with anti-MHCII antibody. ( F ) Gated CD45 − thymic stromal cells of 1-weeks old were stained with anti-CD140a and anti-CD31 antibodies. Graphs represent the cellularity of CD45 − CD140a + fibroblasts and CD45 − CD31a + endothelial cells in the thymus of WT and Fgf21 KO mice. ( G ) The expression levels of thymic factors were measured in the thymus of 1-week-old WT and Fgf21 KO mice. Graphs represent the mean ± SD; n ≧ 5 replicates per group from at least 3 independent experiments.
