Comparison of gene expression profile of T follicular helper cells and germinal center B cells from neonatal and adult mice

ABSTRACT: Vaccines that require T-cell help for the production of antibodies need to be administered three to four doses during the first 15 months of life in order to afford protection. Diminished antibody responses in newborns have been considered as a consequence of impaired T follicular helper (TFH) development and germinal center B cell (GC BC) formation upon immunization. To gain further insight into the transcriptional program for the induction and/or inhibition of TFH cell development, we screened 561 immune-related genes using the nCounter® Immunology Panel array.

Characterization of True Germinal center follicular helper T cells

Project description:Despite interest in T follicular helper (TFH) cell development and function, differences between TFH cells resident in germinal centers (GCs) and phenotypically similar, non-resident TFH cells are unclear. Both TFH subsets share the Bcl6+FoxP3−CXCR5hiPD-1hi phenotype but we show that only GC resident TFH cells express S1pr2 and lose CD90 expression. Whereas immunization elicits CD90neg/lo GCTFH and CD90hi GCTFH-like cells similarly, these TFH subsets have distinct properties. CD90neg/lo GCTFH cells require MHCII+ B cells to develop and once formed, do not proliferate. CD90hi GCTFH-like cells are generated in the absence of B cells and remain mitotically active. The Tcrβ repertoires of both TFH types are initially shared but with time, Tcrβ usage in CD90hi GCTFH-like cells substantially diverges by DC-driven proliferation. Transcriptome analysis shows CD90neg/lo GCTFH to be specialized for vesicle transport and exocytosis while gene expression in CD90hi GCTFH-like cells is linked to cell activation, proliferation and migration.

Germinal center T follicular helper cell IL-4 production is dependent on SLAM receptor (CD150)

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.

Plexin B2 and Semaphorin 4C guide T-cell recruitment and function in the germinal center

Project description:Follicular T-helper (TFH) cells are essential for germinal center (GC) responses. TFH localization in GCs is controlled by chemo-guidance cues and antigen-specific adhesion. Here we define an antigen-independent, contact-dependent, adhesive guidance system for TFH cells. Unusual for amoeboid cell migration, the system is composed of transmembrane plexin B2 (PlxnB2) molecule that is highly expressed by GC B cells and its transmembrane binding partner semaphorin 4C (Sema4C) that is upregulated on TFH cells. Instead of effectuating repulsion as a ligand, Sema4C serves as the receptor to sense PlxnB2 and bias TFH migration inward at the GC edge to penetrate the GC territory. The absence of PlxnB2 from the GC or Sema4C from TFH cells causes TFH accumulation along the GC border, impairs TFH -B cell interactions and is associated with defective plasma cell production and affinity maturation. Therefore, Sema4C and PlxnB2 regulate GC TFH recruitment and function and optimal antibody responses.

Direct probing of germinal center responses reveals immunological features and bottlenecks for nAb responses to an engineered HIV trimer

Project description:Generation of Tier 2 HIV neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses by immunization remains a challenging problem, and the immunological barriers to induction of such responses by Env immunogens remain unclear. We explored these barriers by combining a suite of innovative techniques, including longitudinal lymph node fine needle aspirates, germinal center (GC) B cell lineage tracking, and a new method for detecting and quantifying GC T follicular helper (GC Tfh) cells, in non-human primates immunized with a native-like HIV-1 Env trimer protein (BG505 SOSIP.v5.2). A majority of immunized animals (9/12) developed Tier 2 neutralizing antibodies (nAb). Tier 2 nAb development best correlated with GC B cell magnitude in response to later booster immunizations and the quality of the Tfh help. Notably, these immunological factors distinguished between qualitatively successful and unsuccessful vaccine Ab responses, as they correlated with nAb development but did not correlate with simple Env Ab binding titers. Therefore, direct probing of germinal centers in future vaccine trials is key, as this suite of technically robust approaches provides quantitation of the proximal immune correlates of neutralizing antibody development and could allow redesign of optimal multi-stage vaccination schedules.

B cell intrinsic TBK1 is essential for germinal center formation during infection and vaccination

Project description:Germinal center (GC) is a site where somatic hypermutation and clonal selection are coupled for antibody affinity maturation against infections. However, how GCs are formed and regulated is incompletely understood. Here, we identified an unexpected role of Tank-binding kinase-1 (TBK1) as a crucial B-cell-intrinsic factor for GC formation. Using immunization and malaria infection models, we show that TBK1-deficient B cells failed to form GC despite normal Tfh differentiation, although some malaria-infected B-cell-specific TBK1-deficient mice could survive by GC-independent mechanisms. Mechanistically, TBK1 phosphorylation elevates in B cells during GC differentiation and regulates the balance of IRF4/BCL6 expression by limiting CD40 and BCR activation through non-canonical NF-κB and AKTT308 signaling. In the absence of TBK1, CD40 and BCR signaling synergistically enhanced IRF4 expression in Pre-GC leading to BCL6 suppression, therefore failed to form GC. As a result, memory B cells generated from TBK1-deficient B cells fail to confer sterile immunity upon re-infection, suggesting that TBK1 determines B cell fate to promote long-lasting humoral immunity.

Organized B cell selection sites in cartilaginous fishes reveal the evolutionary foundation of germinal center-based selection.

Project description:The absence of germinal centers (GCs) in cartilaginous fishes lies at odds with data showing nurse sharks can produce robust antigen-specific responses and affinity mature their B cell repertoires. To Investigate this paradox, we performed RNA sequencing on single nuclei, allowing us to characterize the cell types present in the nurse shark spleen, and RNAscope to provide in situ cellular resolution of key marker gene expression following immunization with R-phycoerythrin (PE). We tracked PE to the splenic follicles where it co-localizes with CXCR5high centrocyte-like B cells, surrounded by a peripheral ring of AID+ CXCR4+ centroblast-like B cells, and a population of putative T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Further, we reveal selection of mutated B cell clones dissected from these follicles. We propose the B cell selection sites identified here represent the evolutionary foundation of GC-based selection, dating back to the jawed vertebrate ancestor.

Human T follicular helper cells seed the germinal center-resident regulatory pool

Project description:FOXP3+ T follicular regulatory cells (Tfrs) control germinal center (GC) responses by steering antibody formation away from self-reactivity and toward microbe/vaccine recognition. As originally described, murine Tfr cells descend exclusively from thymically-derived, self-antigen recognizing, T regulatory cells (Tregs), but newer animal models suggest vaccine-recognizing T follicular helper (Tfh) cells can assume regulatory roles as GCs mature. To test the hypothesis that the human Tfr pool is heterogenous in function and provenance, we used paired TCRVA and TCRVB sequencing to distinguish tonsillar Tfr cells clonally related to the natural Tregs (nTfr) from those induced from Tfh cells (iTfr). Through in silico predictions and in vitro tonsillar organoid lineage tracking, we identified a Tfh to iTfr developmental trajectory that passed through a distinct CD25hiBLIMP1+FOXP3- transitional stage. The genes and proteins that iTfr and nTfr cells express differentially were utilized as handles to precisely pinpoint the in situ locations of cells from each subset via multi-plex microscopy and to establish divergent functional adaptations. In total, we characterize human iTfr cells as a GC-resident CD38+ Tfr subset that descend from Tfh lineage cells to gain suppressive qualities while retaining their capacity for GC B-cell help.
