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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Impact of Hells loss-of-function on DNA methylation in B cells during humoral immune responses: kinetic comparison of Mb1-Hells knockout and control mice by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:We are interested in deciphering the mechanism by which DNA methylation in late B cell differentiation affects humoral immune response. We chose to study a very rare immunodeficiency called ICF type 4, where a point mutation in a gene encoding the protein HELLS causes a lack of both circulating antibodies and memory B cells in human. HELLS is a chromatin remodeler, that allows for DNA methylation to occur. Using a Hells conditional knock-out in B cells, we measured the kinetics of the immune B cell response, following immunization with NP-CGG, and show a lack of memory and plasma cells accompanied by a defect in germinal center maintenance, but not by its formation. Single cell RNAseq of cell sorted naive, germinal center B cells and memory B cells at day 7 and day 14 post NP-immunization helped us better characterize the phenotype.

Impact of Hells loss-of-function on DNA methylation in B cells during humoral immune responses: kinetic comparison of Mb1-Hells knockout and control mice by bulk RNA sequencing.

Project description:The transcriptomic impact of Hells loss-of-function was quantified by RNA sequencing of sample from conditional knockout (Mb1-Cre+/WT HellsF/F) and littermate control mice (Mb1-CreWT/WT HellsF/F). Three time points were chosen to follow the kinetic: day 0 for naïve B cells collection, day 7 and day 14 post NP-CGG intraperitoneal immunization for germinal center B cells collection. At each time point, 4 mice of each genotype were used. Live cells were FACS sorted (AriaIII) using surface markers as follows: B220+CD21+CD23+ for naïve B cells, and B220+CD95+GL7+ for germinal center B cells. Due to their low frequency, germinal center B cells were FACS-sorted twice using the same gating strategy. Collected samples were lysed and processed for RNA extraction.

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

Project description: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.

Expression Data from in vivo Tfh vs GC Tfh vs non-Tfh

Project description:CD4 T cell help is critical for both the generation and maintenance of germinal centers, and T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the CD4 T cell subset required for this process. SAP (SH2D1A) expression in CD4 T cells is essential for germinal center development. However, SAP-deficient mice have only a moderate defect in TFH differentiation as defined by common TFH surface markers. CXCR5+ TFH cells are found within the germinal center as well as along the boundary regions of T/B cell zones. Here we show that germinal center associated T cells (GC TFH) can be identified by their co-expression of CXCR5 and the GL7 epitope, allowing for phenotypic and functional analysis of TFH and GC TFH populations. Here we show GC TFH are a functionally discrete subset of further polarized TFH cells, with enhanced B cell help capacity and a specialized ability to produce IL-4 in a TH2-independent manner. Strikingly, SAP-deficient mice have an absence of the GC TFH subset and SAP- TFH are defective in IL-4 and IL-21 production. We further demonstrate that SLAM (Slamf1, CD150), a surface receptor that utilizes SAP signaling, is specifically required for IL-4 production by GC TFH. GC TFH cells require IL-4 and IL-21 production for optimal help to B cells. These data illustrate complexities of SAP-dependent SLAM family receptor signaling, revealing a prominent role for SLAM receptor ligation in IL-4 production by germinal center CD4 T cells but not in TFH and GC TFH differentiation. Analysis of in vivo polyclonal GC Tfh vs Tfh vs Non-Tfh eight days after LCMV viral infection. Analysis of in vivo follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5high GL7low), versus germinal center follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5hi GL7hi), versus non-follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5low) eight days after viral infection.
