Background Somatic mutation in the X-linked phosphatidylinositol glycan class A gene (PIG-A) causes glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchor deficiency in human patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Design and Methods We produced an animal model of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria by conditional Pig-a gene inactivation (Pig-a(-/-)) in hematopoietic cells, mice carrying two lox sites Ranking exon 6 of the Pig-a gene were bred with mice carrying the transgene Cre-recombinase under the human c-fes promoter. We characterized the phenotypic and functional properties of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-deficient and glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-normal hematopoietic cells from these Pig-a(-/-) mice using gene expression microarray, flow cytometry, bone marrow transplantation, spectratyping, and immunoblotting. Results In comparison to glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-normal bone marrow cells, glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-deficient bone marrow cells From the same Pig-a(-/-) animals showed up regulation of the expression of immune function genes and contained a significantly higher proportion of CD8 T cells. Both characteristics were maintained when glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-deficient cells were transplanted into lethally-irradiated recipients. Glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-deficient T cells were inactive, showed pronounced V beta 5.1/5.2 skewing, had fewer gamma-interferon-producing cells after lectin stimulation, and contained fewer CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells. However, the levels of T-cell receptor signaling proteins from glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-deficient cells were normal relative to glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-normal cells from wild type animals, and cells were capable of inducing target cell apoptosis in vitro. Conclusions Deletion of the Pig-a gene in hematopoietic cells does not cause Frank marrow failure but leads to the appearance of clonally-restricted, inactive yet functionally competent CD8 T cells.
