Transcriptional profiles of human mature B cells from tonsil tissue

ABSTRACT: Mature B cells leave the bone marrow as naïve B cells and migrate to the secondary lymphoid organs where they encounter the antigen for the first time. This interaction stimulates B cells to rapidly grow and form characteristic histological structures called germinal center. In the germinal centers, B cells are targeted by mechanisms of genetic editing of the immunoglobulin loci, namely somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination, undergo selection for high affinity immunoglobulin receptors and are committed to differentiate into memory B cells or plasma cells. GCs display two histological areas the dark and the light zone that have been characterized as functionally distinct compartments through which B cells recycle multiple times during the germinal center reaction.

Transcriptional profiles of normal human mature B cells

Proteome profiling of mouse germinal center B cells

Project description:Productive B cell responses are critical to protect a host from infection. The spleen and lymph nodes are populated by resting follicular B cells, which can enter germinal centers upon antigen encounter. Once in the germinal center, B cells migrate between the dark and light zones, where they undergo somatic hypermutation and selection, respectively. While germinal center B cells have been studied, an intense molecular understanding of these cells/subsets (and the differences between them) is lacking.

Tracking immunoglobulin gene editing and transcriptomic changes in GC B cells by single-cell analysis

Project description:In response to T cell-dependent antigens, mature B cells are stimulated to form germinal centers, which are the place of B cell affinity maturation and selection. Here, we dissected the heterogeneity of germinal center B cells and reconstructed their pathway of differentiation by integrating single-cell transcriptomic data with the information on immunoglobulin gene editing associated with somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination.

Bach2 regulates AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene conversion and somatic hypermutation in DT40 B cells

Project description:The transcription factor Bach2 is required for germinal center formation and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulins, both central to an efficient antibody-mediated immune response. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates SHM and CSR in germinal centers and has potential to induce human B cell lymphoma. To understand the role of Bach2 in AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene diversification processes, we established a Bach2-deficient DT40 B cell line. We show that in addition to allowing SHM, Bach2 drives immunoglobulin gene conversion (GCV), an important AID-dependent antibody gene diversification process. We demonstrate that Bach2 promotes GCV by increasing the expression of AID. Importantly, we found that the regulation of AID is independent of Blimp-1 and that Bach2-deficient cells have altered expression of several genes regulating AID expression, stability and function. These results demonstrate that Bach2 has a previously unappreciated role in the production of high-affinity antibodies.

Dynamic Regulation of Tfh Clonal Selection During the Germinal Center Reaction

Project description:The Germinal center is a dynamic microenvironment wherein B cells expressing high affinity antibody variants produced by hypermutation are selected for clonal expansion by limiting numbers of T follicular helper cells. Although a great deal is known about the mechanisms that control B cell selection in the germinal center, far less is understood about the clonal behavior of the T follicular helper cells that regulate this process. Here we report on the dynamic behavior of clones of T follicular helper cells during the germinal center reaction. We find that like germinal center B cells, T follicular helper cells undergo antigen dependent selection during the germinal center reaction resulting in differential proliferative expansion and contraction. Increasing the amount of antigen presented in the germinal center leads to increased T follicular cell division. Competition between T follicular helper cell clones is mediated by T cell receptor affinity for peptide-MHC ligand. Higher affinity T cells expanding preferentially in the germinal center show increased expression of genes downstream of the T cell receptor, genes required for metabolic reprogramming, cell division and cytokine production. These dynamic changes lead to dramatic remodeling of the functional T follicular cell repertoire during the germinal center reaction.

Gene expression profile for BL2 and BL2 AID-/- cell lines

Project description:AID (activation-induced cytidine deaminase) is expressed at low levels in many tissue types but is most highly expressed in germinal center B cells where it deaminates cytidine to uracil during somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination of the immunoglobulin genes. In addition to this critical role in immune diversification, aberrant targeting of AID contributes to oncogenic point mutations and chromosome translocations associated with B cell malignancies. Thus, to explore a role for AID in DNA demethylation in B cell lymphoma, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling in BL2 and AID-deficient (AID-/-) BL2 cell lines (Burkitt lymphoma that can be induced to express high levels of AID).

DNA Methylation Dynamics of Germinal Center B Cells Are Mediated by AID

Project description:Changes in DNA methylation are required for the formation of germinal centers (GC), but the mechanisms of such changes are poorly understood. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) has been recently implicated recently in DNA demethylation through its deaminase activity coupled with DNA repair. We investigated the epigenetic function of AID in vivo in germinal center B cells (GCB) isolated from wild type (WT) and AID-deficient (Aicda-/-) mice. We determined that the transit of B cells through the GC is associated with marked locus-specific loss of methylation and increased methylation diversity, both of which are lost in Aicda-/- animals. Differentially methylated cytosines (DMCs) between GCB and naïve B cells (NB) are enriched in genes that are targeted for somatic hypermutation (SHM) by AID and these genes form networks required for B cell development and proliferation. Finally, we observed significant conservation of AID-dependent epigenetic reprogramming between mouse and human B cells.

Transcription profiling of AID expressing leukemia and AID deficient leukemia in a mouse model of BCR-ABL1 ALL

Project description:Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID) is required for somatic hypermutation and immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch recombination in germinal center B lymphocytes. Occasionally, AID targets non-Ig genes, thereby contributing to B cell lymphomagenesis. We recently reported aberrant expression of AID in BCR-ABL1-driven acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To elucidate the biological significance of aberrant AID expression, we studied loss of AID function in a murine model of BCR-ABL1 ALL. Mice transplanted with BCR-ABL1-transduced AID-/- bone marrow had prolonged survival as compared to mice transplanted with leukemia cells generated from AID+/+ bone marrow. Consistent with a causative role of AID in genetic instability, AID-/- leukemia had a decreased frequency of amplifications, deletions and a lower frequency of mutations in non-Ig genes including Pax5 and Rhoh as compared to AID+/+ leukemias. AID-/- and AID+/+ ALL cells showed a markedly distinct gene expression pattern as determined by principle component analysis, with 2,365 genes differentially expressed. In contrast to AID+/+ leukemia, AID-/- ALL cells failed to downregulate a number of tumor suppressor genes such as Rhoh, Cdkn1a (p21), and Blnk (SLP65). We conclude that AID accelerates clonal evolution in BCR-ABL1 ALL by enhancing genetic instability, aberrant somatic hypermutation, and by transcriptional inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarrays to detect differences in gene expression profiles between AID expressing leukemia and AID deficient leukemia
