Plasticity of Th17 cells in Peyer's patches is responsible for the induction of T cell-dependent IgA responses.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal Peyer's patches are essential lymphoid organs for the generation of T cell-dependent immunoglobulin A (IgA) for gut homeostasis. Through the use of interleukin 17 (IL-17) fate-reporter mice, we found here that endogenous cells of the TH17 subset of helper T cells in lymphoid organs of naive mice 'preferentially' homed to the intestines and were maintained independently of IL-23. In Peyer's patches, such TH17 cells acquired a follicular helper T cell (TFH cell) phenotype and induced the development of IgA-producing germinal center B cells. Mice deficient in TH17 cells failed to generate antigen-specific IgA responses, which provides evidence that TH17 cells are the crucial subset required for the production of high-affinity T cell-dependent IgA.

α-Glucosidase inhibitors boost gut immunity by inducing IgA responses in Peyer's patches.

Project description:Peyer's patches (PPs) are specialized gut-associated lymphoid tissues that initiate follicular helper T (Tfh)-mediated immunoglobulin A (IgA) response to luminal antigens derived from commensal symbionts, pathobionts, and dietary sources. IgA-producing B cells migrate from PPs to the small intestinal lamina propria and secrete IgA across the epithelium, modulating the ecological balance of the commensal microbiota and neutralizing pathogenic microorganisms. α-glucosidase inhibitors (α-GIs) are antidiabetic drugs that inhibit carbohydrate digestion in the small intestinal epithelium, leading to alterations in the commensal microbiota composition and metabolic activity. The commensal microbiota and IgA responses exhibit bidirectional interactions that modulate intestinal homeostasis and immunity. However, the effect of α-GIs on the intestinal IgA response remains unclear. We investigated whether α-GIs affect IgA responses by administering voglibose and acarbose to mice via drinking water. We analyzed Tfh cells, germinal center (GC) B cells, and IgA-producing B cells in PPs by flow cytometry. We also assessed pathogen-specific IgA responses. We discovered that voglibose and acarbose induced Tfh cells, GCB cells, and IgA-producing B cells in the PPs of the proximal small intestine in mice. This effect was attributed to the modification of the microbiota rather than a shortage of monosaccharides. Furthermore, voglibose enhanced secretory IgA (S-IgA) production against attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which α-GIs augment antigen-specific IgA responses by stimulating Tfh-GCB responses in PPs, and suggest a potential therapeutic application as an adjuvant for augmenting mucosal vaccines.

Dietary Antigens Induce Germinal Center Responses in Peyer's Patches and Antigen-Specific IgA Production.

Project description:The primary induction sites for intestinal IgA are the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT), such as Peyer's patches (PPs) and isolated lymphoid follicles (ILFs). The commensal microbiota is known to contribute to IgA production in the gut; however, the role of dietary antigens in IgA production is poorly understood. To understand the effect of dietary antigens on IgA production, post-weaning mice were maintained on an elemental diet without any large immunogenic molecules. We found that dietary antigens contribute to IgA production in PPs through induction of follicular helper T cells and germinal center B cells. The role of dietary antigens in the PP responses was further confirmed by adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the elemental diet. Although dietary antigens are important for PP responses, they have fewer effects than the microbiota on the development and maturation of ILFs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that dietary antigens are essential for a normal antigen-specific IgA response to Salmonella typhi serovar Typhimurium infection. These results provide new insights into the role of dietary antigens in the regulation of mucosal immune responses.

IgA production requires B cell interaction with subepithelial dendritic cells in Peyer's patches.

Project description:Immunoglobulin A (IgA) induction primarily occurs in intestinal Peyer's patches (PPs). However, the cellular interactions necessary for IgA class switching are poorly defined. Here we show that in mice, activated B cells use the chemokine receptor CCR6 to access the subepithelial dome (SED) of PPs. There, B cells undergo prolonged interactions with SED dendritic cells (DCs). PP IgA class switching requires innate lymphoid cells, which promote lymphotoxin-? receptor (LT?R)-dependent maintenance of DCs. PP DCs augment IgA production by integrin ?v?8-mediated activation of transforming growth factor-? (TGF?). In mice where B cells cannot access the SED, IgA responses against oral antigen and gut commensals are impaired. These studies establish the PP SED as a niche supporting DC-B cell interactions needed for TGF? activation and induction of mucosal IgA responses.

Phenotypic Analysis of a Population of IgA+ Cells in the Follicle-Associated Epithelium of Mouse Peyer's Patches.

Project description:The follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) selectively transports prions, viruses, pathogenic bacteria, commensal microflora, and even secretory IgA (SIgA)-immune complexes from the intestinal lumen to underlying gut-associated lymphoid tissues like Peyer's patches. The FAE consists of a single layer of columnar epithelial cells that includes enterocytes and M (microfold) cells, intermingled with dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, and naïve and memory B and T lymphocytes. In this report we describe a population of IgA+ cells that reside within and immediately below the FAE in mouse Peyer's patches. Immunofluorescence microscopy analysis indicated that the FAE-associated IgA+ cells were negative for surface antigen markers specific for B cells (B220), T cells (CD3), DCs (CD11c), and plasma cells (CD138). The IgA+ cells were also negative Ki-67 and IRF4, indicating that they are not mature B cells or plasma cells. The IgA+ cells were, however, often found in close proximity to DCs, leading us to speculate that the population of IgA+ cells in the FAE constitutes an atypical subset of B cells involved in mucosal antigen surveillance and/or immune recall.

Integrin CD11b provides a new marker of pre-germinal center IgA+ B cells in murine Peyer's patches.

Project description:Activated B cells can enter germinal centers (GCs) for affinity maturation to produce high-affinity antibodies. However, which activated B cells will enter GCs remains unknown. Here, we found a small population of CD11b+IgA+ B cells located outside of GCs in murine Peyer's patches (PPs). After injection of the CD11b+IgA+ PP B cells into a PP of a recipient mouse, they entered GCs forty hours later. They expressed GC surface markers and pre-GC B cell genes, suggesting that CD11b provides a novel surface marker of pre-GC IgA+ B cells in murine PPs. Furthermore, independently of dendritic cell activation, CD11b expression on B cells can be induced by bacterial antigens, such as pam3CSK4 and heat-killed Escherichia coli in vitro. In addition, mice orally administered with pam3CSK4 or heat-killed E. coli increased the number of PP GC B cells within two days, and enhanced the mucosal antigen-specific IgA response. Our results demonstrate that the induction of CD11b on B cells is a promising marker for selecting an effective mucosal vaccine adjuvant.

HMGB1 promotes CXCL12-dependent egress of murine B cells from Peyer's patches in homeostasis.

Project description:High mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) is an alarmin that, once released, promotes inflammatory responses, alone and as a complex with the chemokine CXCL12. Here, we report that the HMGB1-CXCL12 complex plays an essential role also in homeostasis by controlling the migration of B lymphocytes. We show that extracellular HMGB1 is critical for the CXCL12-dependent egress of B cells from the Peyer's patches (PP). This promigratory function of the complex was restricted to the PPs, since HMGB1 was not required for B-cell migratory processes in other locations. Accordingly, we detected higher constitutive levels of the HMGB1-CXCL12 complex in PPs than in other lymphoid organs. HMGB1-CXCL12 in vivo inhibition was associated with a reduced basal IgA production in the gut. Collectively, our results demonstrate a role for the HMGB1-CXCL12 complex in orchestrating B-cell trafficking in homeostasis, and provide a novel target to control lymphocyte migration in mucosal immunity.

Role of Peyer's patches in the induction of Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative spiral bacterium that causes gastritis and peptic ulcer and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Although Th1 immunity is involved in gastritis and the accumulation of H. pylori-specific CD4(+) T cells in the H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa in human patients, how T cells are primed with H. pylori antigens is unknown because no apparent lymphoid tissues are present in the stomach. We demonstrate here that Peyer's patches (PPs) in the small intestine play critical roles in H. pylori-induced gastritis; no gastritis is induced in H. pylori-infected mice lacking PPs. We also observed that the coccoid form of H. pylori is phagocytosed by dendritic cells in PPs. We propose that H. pylori converts to the coccoid form in the anaerobic small intestine and stimulates the host immune system through PPs.

Interleukin (IL)-21 Promotes the Differentiation of IgA-Producing Plasma Cells in Porcine Peyer's Patches via the JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Secretory IgA is critical to prevent the invasion of pathogens via mucosa. However, the key factors and the mechanisms of IgA generation in the porcine gut are not well-understood. In this study, a panel of factors, including BAFF, APRIL, CD40L, TGF-β1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, and IL-21, were employed to stimulate IgM+ B lymphocytes from porcine ileum Peyer's patches. The results showed that IL-21 significantly upregulated IgA production of B cells and facilitated cell proliferation and differentiation of antibody-secreting cells. In addition, three transcripts in porcine IgA class switch recombination (CSR), germ-line transcript α, post-switch transcript α, and circle transcript α, were first amplified by (nest-)PCR and sequenced. All these key indicators of IgA CSR were upregulated by IL-21 treatment. Furthermore, we found that IL-21 predominantly activated JAK1, STAT1, and STAT3 proteins and confirmed that the JAK-STAT signaling pathway was involved in porcine IgA CSR. Thus, IL-21 plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of IgA-secreting cells in porcine Peyer's patches through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These findings provide insights into the mucosal vaccine design by regulation of IL-21 for the prevention and control of enteric pathogens in the pig industry.

Rotavirus infection activates dendritic cells from Peyer's patches in adult mice.

Project description:This study used an in vivo mouse model to analyze the response of dendritic cells (DCs) in Peyer's patches (PPs) within the first 48 h of infection with the wild-type murine rotavirus EDIM (EDIM(wt)). After the infection, the absolute number of DCs was increased by 2-fold in the PPs without a modification of their relative percentage of the total cell number. Also, the DCs from PPs of infected mice showed a time-dependent migration to the subepithelial dome (SED) and an increase of the surface activation markers CD40, CD80, and CD86. This response was more evident at 48 h postinfection (p.i.) and depended on viral replication, since DCs from PPs of mice inoculated with UV-treated virus did not show this phenotype. As a result of the activation, the DCs showed an increase in the expression of mRNA for the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12/23p40 (IL-12/23p40), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and beta interferon (IFN-beta), as well as for the regulatory cytokine IL-10. These results suggest that, a short time after rotavirus infection, the DCs from PPs play a critical role in controlling the infection and, at the same time, avoiding an excessive inflammatory immune response.

Functional transforming growth factor-? receptor type II expression by CD4+ T cells in Peyer's patches is essential for oral tolerance induction.

Project description:Our previous studies have shown that Peyer's patches (PPs) play a key role in the induction of oral tolerance. Therefore, we hypothesized that PPs are an important site for Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-? signaling and sought to prove that this tissue is of importance in oral tolerance induction. We found that expression of TGF-? type II receptor (TGF?RII) by CD4(+) T cells increases and persists in the PPs of normal C57BL/6 mice after either high- or low-dose feeding of OVA when compared to mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and spleen. Approximately one-third of these TGF?RII(+) CD4(+) T cells express the transcription factor Foxp3. Interestingly, the number of TGF?RII(+) CD4(+) T cells in PPs decreased when OVA-fed mice were orally challenged with OVA plus native cholera toxin (CT). In contrast, numbers of TGF?RII(+) CD4(+) T cells were increased in the intestinal lamina propria (iLP) of these challenged mice. Further, these PP CD4(+) TGF?RII(+) T cells upregulated Foxp3 within 2 hours after OVA plus CT challenge. Mice fed PBS and challenged with OVA plus CT did not reveal any changes in TGF?RII expression by CD4(+) T cells. In order to test the functional property of TGF?RII in the induction of oral tolerance, CD4dnTGF?RII transgenic mice, in which TGF?RII signaling is abrogated from all CD4(+) T cells, were employed. Importantly, these mice could not develop oral tolerance to OVA. Our studies show a critical, dose-independent, role for TGF?RII expression and function by CD4(+) T cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissues, further underlining the vital role of PPs in oral tolerance.
