The majority of lymphomas induced in Rag-deficient mice by Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) infection express the CD4 and/or CD8 markers, indicating that proviral insertions cause activation of genes affecting the development from CD4(-)8(-) pro-T cells into CD4(+)8(+) pre-T cells. Similar to MoMuLV wild-type tumors, 50% of CD4(+)8(+) Rag-deficient tumors carry a provirus near the Pim1 protooncogene. To study the function of PIM proteins in T cell development in a more controlled setting, a Pim1 transgene was crossed into mice deficient in either cytokine or T cell receptor (TCR) signal transduction pathways. Pim1 reconstitutes thymic cellularity in interleukin (IL)-7- and common gamma chain-deficient mice. In Pim1-transgenic Rag-deficient mice but notably not in CD3gamma-deficient mice, we observed slow expansion of the CD4(+)8(+) thymic compartment to almost normal size. Based on these results, we propose that PIM1 functions as an efficient effector of the IL-7 pathway, thereby enabling Rag-deficient pro-T cells to bypass the pre-TCR-controlled checkpoint in T cell development.
