Single cell RNAseq of B cell interacting reticular cells and immune cells from murine secondary lymphoid organs

ABSTRACT: B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of stromal cells and immune cells from murine lymph nodes, Peyer’spatches and spleens to analyse local BRC-immune cell interactions and compare them across SLOs and species. Shared BRC subsets were imprinted by tissue-specific gene signatures, but also expressed functionally convergent niche factors that directed regionalized leukocyte composition. Local BRC-immune cell interactions sustained BRC subset identity via immune cell-provided maturation factors. Bidirectional signalling programs were independent of activation state and mirrored across murine and human tissues. Collectively, our data reveal a conserved set of feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.

Single-cell gene expression of lymph node B cell-interacting reticular cells

Project description:Efficient germinal center formation requires the coordinated movement of B cells between distinct regions of the B cell follicle where their fate and function is governed by the integration of cues from their interacting partners. While CXCL13 is known to be important for B cell chemoattraction and follicle formation, the molecular identity of B cell-interacting reticular cells remains ill-defined. Moreover, how CXCL13-expressing, B-cell interacting reticular cells are reprogramed to cater to the developing germinal center remains unclear. Here we use the Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato mouse model to genetically target and decipher the cellular composition of lymph node CXCL13-expressing reticular cells under steady-state and inflammatory conditions. Moreover, we examine the consequence of cell-specific, genetic perturbation of CXCL12 on the molecular identity of the reticular cell network. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that B cell follicle reticular cell subset specification is predetermined in the steady-state, although additional transcriptional changes accompany germinal center formation. Although genetic perturbation of CXCL12 alters GC topology, the molecular identity of the underlying reticular cells remains largely unperturbed.

Single-cell gene expression of germinal center B cells from CXCL12-conditionally deficient and –sufficient mice

Project description:The chemokines CXCL13 and CXCL12 are reported to be important for the germinal center reaction. Since CXCL12-deficient mice are embryonically lethal, here we took advantage of the Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato mouse models to genetically ablate CXCL12 from B cell-interacting reticular cells and examine the molecular consequence on germinal center B cells. Spatial segregation of follicular dendritic cells, germinal center B cells and follicular helper T cells is impaired in Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato Cxcl12fl/fl mice. Single cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that all germinal center B cell subsets (corresponding to distinct stages of the germinal center response) are present in draining lymph nodes of immunized CXCL12-conditionally deficient mice. While most transcriptional regulators of the germinal center response are unperturbed by the genetic perturbation of CXCL12, Bach2 levels were elevated in germinal center B cells from lymph nodes of Cxcl12fl/fl mice. Moreover, single cell B cell receptor sequencing revealed that germinal center B cells in Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato Cxcl12fl/fl mice harbour a lower mutational burden when compared to germinal center B cells isolated from immunized control mice. Gene expression profiles were validated by flow cytometry and suggest that the provision of CXCL12 by reticular cells governs efficient germinal center responses.

Bisphosphonate effect on murine whole draining lymph nodes before and 8 hours after VSV infection

Project description:Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs that are widely used to inhibit loss of bone mass in patients. We show that the administration of clinically relevant doses of bisphosphonates in mice increases antibody responses to live and inactive viruses, proteins, haptens and existing commercial vaccine formulations. Bisphosphonates exert this adjuvant-like activity in the absence of CD4+ and γδ T cells, neutrophils or dendritic cells and their effect does not rely on local macrophage depletion nor does it depend upon Toll-like receptor signaling or the inflammasome. Rather, bisphosphonates target directly B cells and enhance B cell expansion and antibody production upon antigen encounter. These data establish bisphosphonates as a novel class of adjuvants that boost humoral immune responses. Of note, gene-expression profile analysis shows that bisphosphonate treatment up-regulates a number of B cell-specific transcripts and gene sets associated with B cell function, suggesting that bisphosphonates might directly target B cells. C57Bl/6 mice received intrafoodpad injections of Clodronate (CLD, 2mg) or vehicle control (PBS) 3 and 1 day prior to infection with VSV serotype Indiana in the same footpad. Popliteal lymph nodes were harvested immediately before or 8 hours after the infection. Total RNA was extracted and prepared for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Prognostic value of biomarkers EpCAM and B-crystallin is associated with lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer by iTRAQ analysis

Project description:Metastasis is responsible for the majority of deaths in a variety of cancer types, including breast cancer. Although several factors or biomarkers have been identified to predict the outcome of patients with breast cancer, few studies have been conducted to identify metastasis-associated biomarkers. Quantitative iTRAQ proteomics analysis was used to detect differentially expressed proteins between lymph node metastases and their paired primary tumor tissues from 23 patients with metastatic breast cancer. Immunohistochemistry was performed to validate the expression of two upregulated (EpCAM, FADD) and two downregulated (NDRG1, αB-crystallin) proteins in 190 paraffin-embedded tissue samples. These four proteins were further analyzed for their correlation with clinicopathological features in 190 breast cancer patients. We identified 637 differentially regulated proteins (397 upregulated and 240 downregulated) in lymph node metastases compared with their paired primary tumor tissues. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis using GEO profiling confirmed the difference in the expression of EpCAM between metastases and primary tumors tissues. Two upregulated (EpCAM, FADD) and two downregulated (NDRG1, αB-crystallin) proteins were associated with the progression of breast cancer. Obviously, EpCAM plays a role in the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lymph node. We further identified αB-crystallin as an independent biomarker to predict lymph node metastasis and the outcome of breast cancer patients.

Type I interferon signaling in fibroblastic reticular cells prevents exhaustive activation of antiviral CD8+ T cells

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) shape the organization of secondary lymphoid organs and actively promote the induction of immune responses by coordinating the interaction of innate and adaptive immune cells. However, the mechanisms underlying FRC functions during viral infections have remained largely unexplored. In the study, we combined FRC-specific genetic ablation of the type 1 IFN-alpha receptor (IFNAR) with high-dimensional transcriptomics analyses to elaborate the phenotypical alterations and functional consequences of impaired innate immunological sensing in FRC during lymph node-restricted viral infection

Single cell RNAseq analysis of fibroblastic reticular cells from murine brachial lymph nodes during inflamed and resting states

Project description:The lymph node is home to resident macrophage populations that are essential for healthy immune function and homeostasis. They are involved in multiple processes including the initiation of the local response to pathogens, halting viral and bacterial spread, and clearance of apoptotic cells, but the macrophage niche and factors that create it are largely undefined. Here we analyse fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) as an essential component of the lymph node macrophage niche using single-cell RNA-sequencing. Our analysis revealed that most reticular cell subsets within lymph nodes expressed master macrophage regulator CSF1. We further show that signalling through CSF1R was sufficient to support macrophage development, while in the presence of LPS, FRCs underwent a mechanistic switch and maintained support through CSF1R-independent mechanisms. Our data reveal a critically important role for FRCs in the creation of the parenchymal macrophage niche within LNs.

Fibroblastic reticular cell lineage convergence in Peyer’s patches governs intestinal homeostasis

Project description:Peyer`s patches (PP) are underpinned by a dense network of FRCs. To elaborate the subset composition and topological organization of PP FRCs, we employed well-characterized Ccl19-Cre and Col6a1-Cre mouse models that permit FRC targeting in secondary lymphoid organs. To define PP FRC subsets and their relation to the observed FRC lineages, we isolated fibroblasts from Col6a1Eyfp and Ccl19Eyfp PPs and performed droplet-based single cell transcriptomics analysis. Taken together, the molecular definition of the PP FRC landscape reveals two FRC lineages furnishing distinct microenvironmental niches.
