ABSTRACT: Our understanding of the BCR repertoire in the context of immune-mediated diseases is incomplete, and defining this could provide new insights into pathogenesis and therapy. Here, we compared the BCR repertoire in systemic lupus erythematosus, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, Crohn’s disease, Behçet’s disease, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis by analysing BCR clonality, use of immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region (IGHV) genes and—in particular—isotype use. An increase in clonality in systemic lupus erythematosus and Crohn’s disease that was dominated by the IgA isotype, together with skewed use of the IGHV genes in these and other diseases, suggested a microbial contribution to pathogenesis. Different immunosuppressive treatments had specific and distinct effects on the repertoire; B cells that persisted after treatment with rituximab were predominately isotype-switched and clonally expanded, whereas the inverse was true for B cells that persisted after treatment with mycophenolate mofetil. Our comparative analysis of the BCR repertoire in immune- mediated disease reveals a complex B cell architecture, providing a platform for understanding pathological mechanisms and designing treatment strategies.

Epithelial endoplasmic reticulum stress orchestrates a protective IgA response II

Project description:Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the major secretory immunoglobulin isotype at mucosal surfaces where it regulates microbial commensalism and excludes luminal factors from contacting intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). IEC endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induces a polyreactive IgA response which protects from small intestinal inflammation. IEC ER stress causes expansion and activation of peritoneal B1b cells independent of microbiota and T cells that culminates in increased lamina propria and luminal IgA. Xbp1dIEC mice exhibit IEC ER stress by conditional deletion of X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1). Here we examine single-cell transcriptomes of peritoneal cavity cells of germ-free Xbp1dIEC mice (KO) compared to littermate controls (WT).

Inducible deletion of Ezh2 in CD4+ T cells inhibits kidney T cell infiltration and prevents interstitial nephritis in MRL/lpr lupus-prone mice

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus is a remitting relapsing autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production and multi-organ involvement. T cell epigenetic dysregulation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lupus. We have previously demonstrated upregulation of the key epigenetic regulator EZH2 in CD4+ T cells isolated from lupus patients. To further investigate the role of EZH2 in the pathogenesis of lupus, we generated a tamoxifen-inducible CD4+ T cell Ezh2 conditional knockout mouse on the MRL/lpr lupus-prone background. We demonstrate that Ezh2 deletion abrogates lupus-like disease and prevents T cell differentiation. Single-cell analysis suggests impaired T cell function and activation of programed cell death pathways in EZH2-deficient mice. Ezh2 deletion in CD4+ T cells restricts TCR clonal repertoire and prevents kidney-infiltrating effector CD4+ T cell expansion and tubulointerstitial nephritis, which has been linked to end-stage renal disease in patients with lupus nephritis.

Evidence of Dynamically Dysregulated Gene Expression Pathways in Hyper-responsive B Cells from African American Lupus Patients

Project description:In this report we applied standard and original methods of analysis of gene expression microarray data to delineate differences in the molecular pathways impacted by stimulation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed B cells derived from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal unrelated controls. In order to understand the dynamics and interconnections the B cell molecular pathways, the system was perturbed with a biologically relevant signal, co-crosslinking of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) and FcγR2b and global gene expression changes were assessed at various timepoints post-stimulation. Both traditional analysis of differential gene expression and analysis of the dynamics of gene expression variations were performed. Combining these two methods in an analysis process we call Pathway Dysregulation Analysis allows us to establish model networks of functional gene expression important for B cell signaling responses and elucidate gene expression regulatory interconnections disrupted in B cells from individuals with lupus. Through this technique, we found two main groups of gene associations changed significantly with the disease phenotype, which included genes with established controlling function of the B cell activation, and genes involved in apoptosis initiation or prevention. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed B cells derived from two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and two normal unrelated controls were stimulated with a biologically relevant signal, co-crosslinking of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) and FcγR2b. Total RNA was isolated at various timepoints post-stimulation. Gene expression data were used for analysis of differential gene expression and analysis of the dynamics of gene expression variations.

Lupus IgA1 autoantibodies synergize with IgG to enhance pDC responses to RNA-containing immune complexes

Project description:Autoantibodies to nuclear antigens are hallmarks for diagnosis of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and they contribute to SLE pathogenesis. However, there remains a gap in our knowledge regarding how different isotypes of autoantibodies contribute to key disease processes, including the production of the critical type I interferon (IFN) cytokines by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in response to immune complexes (ICs). Here, we show that individuals with SLE have IgA autoantibodies against most nuclear antigens assessed, largely correlating with the amounts of IgG against the same antigen. We investigated whether IgA autoantibodies against a major SLE autoantigen, Smith ribonucleoproteins (Sm/RNPs), play a role in IC activation of pDCs. We found that pDCs express the IgA-specific Fc receptor, FcRI, and there was a striking ability of IgA1 isotype autoantibodies to synergize with IgG in RNA-containing ICs to generate robust pDC IFN responses. pDC responses to these ICs required both FcRI and FcRIIa, suggesting the most potent ICs for pDCs contained autoantibodies of both isotypes. Sm/RNP IC binding to and internalization by pDCs were greater when ICs contained both IgA1 and IgG. In addition, binding of Sm/RNP ICs generated with IgA1-sufficient serum correlated to pDC FcRI expression, but not FcRIIa expression. pDCs from individuals with SLE had higher binding of IgA1-containing ICs and higher expression of FcRI than pDCs from healthy control individuals, correlating with expression of IFN response genes. Taken together, our data indicate that IgA1 ANAs contribute to SLE pathology and warrant further investigation.

BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells

Project description:Purpose: B-1a cells have a distinct BCR repertoire compared with that of B-2 cells. To examine whether CIC loss affects the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells, we analyzed mRNA sequences of immunoglobulin heavy (Igh) and light (Igk and Igl) chain genes in B-1a cells from 12-week-old control and Cicf/f;Cd19-Cre mice. Methods: Peritoneal cavity B-1a cells (IgM+, CD19+, CD5+, CD43+) were sorted by a MoFlo-XDP (Beckman Coulter). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagent (GeneAll), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Long Read iR-Profile Reagent System (iRepertoire) was used to generate NGS libraries covering BCR chains including Igh, Igk, and Igl. Briefly, nested inside and outside primers selectively amplified all V- and C- regions and incorporated communal adaptors. Following clean up, only target amplicons, which contain 5’ and 3’ communal adaptors, were exponentially amplified. Amplified libraries were multiplexed for sequencing on the Illumina Miseq platform. Sequence reads were de-multiplexed according to the barcode sequences. Results: Trimmed reads were mapped to germline V, D and J reference sequences downloaded from the IMGT database. IgH diversity and the usage of variable (V) segments in heavy (Ighv) chain and light (Igkv and Iglv) chain genes were comparable between control and Cic-null B-1a cells. Analysis of non-templated (N)-nucleotide addition at V(D)J junctions revealed that Cic-null B-1a cells have a higher proportion of zero to two N-nucleotides-containing-BCRs than control cells. Conclusions: Our study presents the first comparative BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells. We concluded that CIC deficiency does not dramatically alter the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells.

Signatures of B cell receptor repertoire following Pneumocystis infection

Project description:B cells play vital roles in host defense against Pneumocystis infection, however, the features of B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire in the disease progression remain unclear. Here we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell BCR sequencing of immune cells from mice lung at uninfected state and 1-4 weeks postinfection, in order to illustrate the dynamic nature of B cell responses during Pneumocystis infection. We identified continuously increased plasma cells and an elevated ratio of (IgA+ IgG) to (IgD+ IgM) after infection. Moreover, Pneumocystis infection was associated with an increase of a naïve B subset characterized by elevated expression of the transcription factor ATF3. The proportion of clonal expanded cells progressively increased, with the BCR diversity decreased. Biased usage of V(D)J genes was observed, and the usage frequency of IGHV9-3 was elevated. Overall, these results present a detailed atlas of B cell transcriptional changes and BCR repertoire features in the context of Pneumocystis infection.
