IgA Plasma Cells Are Long-Lived Residents of Gut and Bone Marrow That Express Isotype- and Tissue-Specific Gene Expression Patterns.

ABSTRACT: Antibody secreting plasma cells are made in response to a variety of pathogenic and commensal microbes. While all plasma cells express a core gene transcription program that allows them to secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin, unique transcriptional profiles are linked to plasma cells expressing different antibody isotypes. IgA expressing plasma cells are generally thought of as short-lived in mucosal tissues and they have been understudied in systemic sites like the bone marrow. We find that IgA⁺ plasma cells in both the small intestine lamina propria and the bone marrow are long-lived and transcriptionally related compared to IgG and IgM expressing bone marrow plasma cells. IgA⁺ plasma cells show signs of shared clonality between the gut and bone marrow, but they do not recirculate at a significant rate and are found within bone marrow plasma cells niches. These data suggest that systemic and mucosal IgA⁺ plasma cells are from a common source, but they do not migrate between tissues. However, comparison of the plasma cells from the small intestine lamina propria to the bone marrow demonstrate a tissue specific gene transcription program. Understanding how these tissue specific gene networks are regulated in plasma cells could lead to increased understanding of the induction of mucosal versus systemic antibody responses and improve vaccine design.

Origins and diversity of pan-isotype human bone marrow plasma cells

Project description:Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) produce durable, infection-resistant IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies, but in some cases, pro-allergic IgE. Despite this, BMPC sources are unclear. We charted single BMPC transcriptional and clonal heterogeneity in peanut-allergic and non-allergic humans across CD19 protein expression—due to CD19’s inverse correlation to BMPC longevity. Transcriptional and clonal diversity revealed distinct functional modules. Additionally, distributions of somatic hypermutation and intraclonal antibody sequence variance suggest CD19low and CD19high BMPCs arise from recalled memory and germinal center B cells, respectively. Most IgE BMPCs were from peanut-allergic individuals; some bound peanut and potently prevented peanut-driven anaphylaxis in a mouse model. These findings shed light on BMPC origins and identify the bone marrow as a likely source for long-lived pathogenic IgE in peanut allergy.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces long-lived bone marrow plasma cells in humans.

Project description:Infection or vaccination induces a population of long-lived bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) that are a persistent and essential source of protective antibodies1-5. Whether this population is induced in patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is unknown. Recent reports have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 convalescent patients experience a rapid decay in their antigen-specific serum antibodies, raising concerns that humoral immunity against this virus may be short-lived6-8. Here we show that in patients who experienced mild infections (n=73), serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) antibodies indeed decline rapidly in the first 3 to 4 months after infection. However, this is followed by a more stable phase between 4- and 8-months after infection with a slower serum anti-S antibody decay rate. The level of serum antibodies correlated with the frequency of S-specific long-lived BMPCs obtained from 18 SARS-CoV-2 convalescent patients 7 to 8 months after infection. S-specific BMPCs were not detected in aspirates from 11 healthy subjects with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Comparable frequencies of BMPCs specific to contemporary influenza virus antigens or tetanus and diphtheria vaccine antigens were present in aspirates in both groups. Circulating memory B cells (MBCs) directed against the S protein were detected in the SARS-CoV-2 convalescent patients but not in uninfected controls, whereas both groups had MBCs against influenza virus hemagglutinin. Overall, we show that robust antigen specific long-lived BMPCs and MBCs are induced after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection of humans.

Transcriptomic analyis of isotype specific bone marrow and siLP IgA and IgAKO plasma cells as well as follicular and MZ B cells

Project description:Plasma cell gene expression is driven both by isotype and tissue location. In this series we examine gene expression of bone marrow IgA, IgM and IgG plasma cells as well as IgA plasma cells from small intestine lamina propria. To validate tissue specific gene expression we also include gene expression from lamina propria IgA-/- plasma cells. All plasma cell samples are from Blimp1+/GFP reporter animals and splenic follicular and marginal zone B cell gene expression have been added as reference populations.

Shp1 signalling is required to establish the long-lived bone marrow plasma cell pool.

Project description:Germline or B-cell-specific loss of Ptpn6 gene encoding the Shp1 protein tyrosine phosphatase leads to skewed B lymphopoiesis and systemic autoimmunity. Here, to study its role in B-cell terminal differentiation, we generated Ptpn6(f/f)Aicda(Cre/+) mice with Shp1 ablated only in activated B cells. We show that Ptpn6(f/f)Aicda(Cre/+) mice have normal B-cell development but exhibit defective class-switched primary and recalled antibody response to a T-cell-dependent antigen. Germinal centres are present but do not persist and memory B cells are not formed. Interestingly, Shp1-deficient plasma cells are generated in the spleen but do not contribute to the bone marrow long-lived pool. Plasma cells lacking Shp1 exhibit aberrant ?4?1 integrin activation due to dysregulated Src- and PI3-kinase signalling and manifest attenuated migration in vitro and defective bone marrow homing when reconstituted in vivo. Interrupting ?4?1-VCAM-1 interaction rectifies this defect. These data suggest that Shp1 signalling is required for the establishment of a life-long protective humoral immunity.

Isotype-based plasma cell subsets display differential niches requirements in the bone marrow

Project description:Bone marrow long-lived plasma cells are essential for long-term protection against infection and their persistence within this organ relies on interactions with Cxcl12-expressing stromal cells that are still not clearly identified. Here, using single cell RNAseq and in silico transinteractome analyses we identified LepR+ mesenchymal cells as the stromal cell subset most likely to interact with plasma cells within the bone marrow. Moreover, we demonstrated that depending on the isotype they express, plasma cells may use different set of integrins and adhesion molecules to interact with these stromal cells. Altogether, our results constitute an unprecedented characterization of plasma cell subset stromal niches and open new avenues for the specific targeting of bone marrow plasma cells based on their isotype.

IgM, IgG, and IgA Influenza-Specific Plasma Cells Express Divergent Transcriptomes.

Project description:Ab-secreting cells (ASC) or plasma cells are essential components of the humoral immune system. Although Abs of different isotypes have distinct functions, it is not known if the ASC that secrete each isotype are also distinct. ASC downregulate their surface BCR upon differentiation, hindering analyses that couple BCR information to other molecular characteristics. In this study, we developed a methodology using fixation, permeabilization, and intracellular staining coupled with cell sorting and reversal of the cross-links to allow RNA sequencing of isolated cell subsets. Using hemagglutinin and nucleoprotein Ag-specific B cell tetramers and intracellular staining for IgM, IgG, and IgA isotypes, we were able to derive and compare the gene expression programs of ASC subsets that were responding to the same Ags following influenza infection in mice. Intriguingly, whereas a shared ASC signature was identified, each ASC isotype-specific population expressed distinct transcriptional programs controlling cellular homing, metabolism, and potential effector functions. Additionally, we extracted and compared BCR clonotypes and found that each ASC isotype contained a unique, clonally related CDR3 repertoire. In summary, these data reveal specific complexities in the transcriptional programming of Ag-specific ASC populations.

Long-Lived Plasma Cells Are Contained within the CD19(-)CD38(hi)CD138(+) Subset in Human Bone Marrow.

Project description:Antibody responses to viral infections are sustained for decades by long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs). However, LLPCs have yet to be characterized in humans. Here we used CD19, CD38, and CD138 to identify four PC subsets in human bone marrow (BM). We found that the CD19(-)CD38(hi)CD138(+) subset was morphologically distinct, differentially expressed PC-associated genes, and exclusively contained PCs specific for viral antigens to which the subjects had not been exposed for more than 40 years. Protein sequences of measles- and mumps-specific circulating antibodies were encoded for by CD19(-)CD38(hi)CD138(+) PCs in the BM. Finally, we found that CD19(-)CD38(hi)CD138(+) PCs had a distinct RNA transcriptome signature and human immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH) repertoire that was relatively uncoupled from other BM PC subsets and probably represents the B cell response's "historical record" of antigenic exposure. Thus, our studies define human LLPCs and provide a mechanism for the life-long maintenance of anti-viral antibodies in the serum.

Myeloid Skewing in Aging Bone Marrow Depends on Long-lived Plasma Cell Accumulation

Project description:Aging results in a reduction in B lymphopoiesis and an increase in myelopoiesis in mice and humans. We investigated how cellular changes in the aging hematopoietic microenvironment contribute to these alterations in hematopoiesis and found that long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) increase in number in the bone marrow of old mice. The LLPCs exhibited a Toll Like Receptor activation signal, and their accumulation was partially dependent on inflammatory cytokines. LLPCs were able to stimulate myelopoiesis from hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid progenitors in vitro, and anti-CD138 antibody-mediated depletion of LLPCs or blockade of pro-inflammatory signaling in old mice in vivo resulted in a significant reduction in LLPC number and attenuated myeloid development. However, B lymphopoiesis remained suppressed. These data identify the increase in LLPC number as obligate for age-associated increases in myelopoiesis and provide evidence that, in the context of aging, enhanced myelopoiesis and depressed lymphopoiesis are distinct, independently regulated processes.
