Remodeling of light and dark zone follicular dendritic cells governs germinal center responses.

ABSTRACT: Efficient generation of germinal center (GC) responses requires directed movement of B cells between distinct microenvironments underpinned by specialized B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRCs). How BRCs are reprogrammed to cater to the developing GC remains unclear, and studying this process is largely hindered by incomplete resolution of the cellular composition of the B cell follicle. Here we used genetic targeting of Cxcl13-expressing cells to define the molecular identity of the BRC landscape. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that BRC subset specification was predetermined in the primary B cell follicle. Further topological remodeling of light and dark zone follicular dendritic cells required CXCL12-dependent crosstalk with B cells and dictated GC output by retaining B cells in the follicle and steering their interaction with follicular helper T cells. Together, our results reveal that poised BRC-defined microenvironments establish a feed-forward system that determines the efficacy of the GC reaction.

Cyclin D3 Governs Clonal Expansion of Dark Zone Germinal Center B Cells.

Project description:Germinal center (GC) B cells surge in their proliferative capacity, which poses a direct risk for B cell malignancies. G1- to S-phase transition is dependent on the expression and stability of D-type cyclins. We show that cyclin D3 expression specifically regulates dark zone (DZ) GC B cell proliferation. B cell receptor (BCR) stimulation of GC B cells downregulates cyclin D3 but induces c-Myc, which subsequently requires cyclin D3 to exert GC expansion. Control of DZ proliferation requires degradation of cyclin D3, which is dependent on phosphorylation of residue Thr283 and can be bypassed by cyclin D3T283A hyperstabilization as observed in B cell lymphoma. Thereby, selected GC B cells in the light zone potentially require disengagement from BCR signaling to accumulate cyclin D3 and undergo clonal expansion in the DZ.

TGFβ signaling in germinal center B cells promotes the transition from light zone to dark zone.

Project description:B cells in germinal centers (GCs) cycle between light zone (LZ) and dark zone (DZ). The cues in the GC microenvironment that regulate the transition from LZ to DZ have not been well characterized. In Peyer's patches (PPs), transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) promotes IgA induction in activated B cells that can then differentiate into GC B cells. We show here that TGFβ signaling occurs in B cells in GCs and is distinct from signaling that occurs in activated B cells in PPs. Whereas in activated B cells TGFβ signaling is required for IgA induction, in the GC it was instead required for the transition from LZ to DZ. In the absence of TGFβ signaling, there was an accumulation of LZ GC B cells and reduced antibody affinity maturation likely due to reduced activation of Foxo1. This work identifies TGFβ as a microenvironmental cue that is critical for GC homeostasis and function.

Gene expression in mouse germinal center light zone and dark zone B cells

Project description:Microarrays of gene expression in mouse germinal center light zone and dark zone B cells sorted according to the expression of cell surface molecules CD83 and CXCR4 We used microarray data to identify genes differentially expressed by B cells in the light and dark zones of germinal centers from mouse skin-draining lymph nodes 12 days after subcutaneous immunization with NP-OVA in alum. Germinal center B cells (B220+CD38-CD95+) were sorted from immunized mouse lymph nodes into light zone (CXCR4hi/CD83lo) and dark zone (CXCR4lo/CD83hi) populations, from which RNA was extracted
