Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of FRC aging, senescence, and lymphopenia on naïve T cell aging. (A) Overview of fibroblastic reticular cell isolation from young ( n = 3; 27, 31, and 41 years old) and older ( n = 3; 85, 94, and 96 years old) adults. (B) T cell viability and (C) CD45RA high CD27 high naïve CD4 T cells after 14 days organoid cultures ( n = 3 young T cell donors) with FRCs isolated from young or older adults. (D) Overview and characterization of senescent FRCs generated from FRCs from young tissue donor. Relative gene expression of IL-6, p21 and p16 determined by qPCR, normalized to RPLP0 control gene. (E) Percent Live T cells and (F) frequencies of CD45RA high CD27 high naïve CD4 and CD8 T cells in 2DF (comparison control) or 3DF with proliferating (PRO) or senescent (SEN) FRCs. T cells are from four different young donors, performed in duplicate. (G) Effect of T cell input number on CD45RA high CD27 high naïve CD4 T cell frequencies in young donors ( n = 4) after 14 days organoid cultures. (H) Frequencies of CD45RA high CD27 high CD38 + CD25 neg naïve CD4 and CD8 T cells in cohort of patients 1–2 years after chemotherapy induced lymphopenia ( n = 10) compared with control cohort ( n = 10). ns, not significant. p -values determined by (B,C) paired t -test, (E–G) RM one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak multiple comparisons tests and (H) Mann-Whitney test.
