Peyer’s Patch Germinal Centers Select Innate-like BCRs

ABSTRACT: Primary B cell receptor (BCR)/antibody variable region exons are generated by V(D)J recombination with junctional diversification creating immensely diverse antigen contact-encoding CDR3s. While most antigen-driven germinal centers (GCs) are transient, gut microbiota-dependent intestinal Peyer’s patch (PP) GCs are chronic. The nature of chronic PP GC BCR repertoires and somatic hyper-mutation (SHM) patterns has remained enigmatic. To elucidate the physiological repertoire of PP GC BCRs, we developed a high throughput antibody repertoire and SHM assay. Remarkably, PP GCs from different mice expanded public clonotypes, each often with identical IgH CDR3. These CDR3s represent innate-like BCRs that appear much more frequently than expected in naïve B cell repertoire by IGoR modeling, but not frequently enough to enter PP GCs at the observed recurrence without cellular selection. Consistently, some public clonotypes are gut microbiota-dependent and encode antibodies reactive to bacteria glycans, while others are not. SPF fecal transfer to germ-free (GF) mice restored two germ-dependent clonotypes, providing direct evidence for BCR selection. In support of this, we identified recurrently selected SHMs in four of the public clonotypes, demonstrating affinity maturation in chronic PP GCs. Our findings suggest that persistent gut antigens select for innate-like BCR clonotypes to seed chronic PP GCs.

Single cell RNA-sequencing of PBMC derived B cells from human healthy donor

Project description:Motivation: The B-cell receptor (BCR) performs essential functions for the adaptive immune system including recognition of pathogen-derived antigens. The vast repertoire and adaptive variation of BCR sequences due to V(D)J recombination and somatic hypermutation (SHM) necessitates single-cell characterization of BCR sequences. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) presents the opportunity for simultaneous capture of paired BCR heavy and light chains and the transcriptomic signature. Results: We developed VDJPuzzle, a novel bioinformatic tool that reconstructs productive, full-length B-cell receptor sequences of both heavy and light chains. VDJPuzzle successfully reconstructed BCRs from 98.3% (n=117) human and 96.5% (n=200) murine B cells. The reconstructed BCRs were successfully validated with single-cell Sanger sequencing. Availability: VDJPuzzle is available at https://bitbucket.org/kirbyvisp/vdjpuzzle2

Expression data from murine follicular dendritic cells

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are clusters of activated B cells built on stromal cells known as follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). In the Peyer’s patches (PPs), GCs are chronically induced by bacteria and are the major sites for generation of gut IgA immune responses. Whether FDCs directly contribute to the IgA production in PP GCs is unknown. To investigate the role FDCs in gut immune system, we examined comprehensive gene profiles of FDCs purified from PPs or perypheral lymph nodes (pLNs) with or without immunization. We also tried to reconstitute the PP FDC signature in vitro by pulsed or continuous stimulation of pLN FDCs through TLRs, RARs or simultaneously through TLRs and RARs.

Fecal microbiota transfer from autoimmune dry eye disease model mice to conventional mice induces ocular surface inflammation and stereotypic B cell receptor repertoire development in lacrimal gland

Project description:In this study, we transferred gut microbiota of SS-like autoimmune dry eye disease model mice to conventional B6 mice (NOD-FMT). After the transfer, NOD-FMT mice experienced a dramatic change in the gut microbiomes and showed clinicopathological features of SS, including increased corneal fluorescein staining score, decreased tear production, elevated levels of IL-6 mRNA, decreased levels of MUC5AC mRNA encoding mucin. Additionally, we observed that NOD-FMT mice shared stereotypic B cell receptor (BCR) clonotypes with a much higher frequency compared to control group. B cell clones encoding these stereotypic BCR clonotypes developed and expanded locally in the lacrimal gland, and achieved systemic presence in certain clonotypes.

B cell receptor repertoire kinetics after SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination

Project description:B cells play a central role in the immune response to both SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, but the development of the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire in both contexts has not been defined nor compared. We analysed serial samples from 171 SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals with a range of disease severities together with 63 vaccine recipients, and found marked differences in the global BCR repertoire after natural infection compared to vaccination. Following infection, the proportion of BCRs bearing IgG1/3 and IgA1 isotypes increased, somatic hypermutation (SHM) was markedly decreased and, in patients with severe disease, expansion of IgM and IgA clones was observed. In contrast, after vaccination the proportion of BCRs bearing IgD/M isotypes increased, SHM was unchanged and expansion of IgG clones was prominent. Infection generated a broad distribution of SARS-CoV-2-specific clones predicted to target the spike protein whilst vaccination produced a more focused response mainly targeting the spikeÃ¢Â€Â™s receptor-binding domain. These findings offer insights into how different immune exposure to SARS-CoV-2 impacts upon BCR repertoire development, potentially informing vaccine strategies.

Deciphering imprints of impaired memory B-cell maturation in germinal centers of patients with Common variable immunodeficiency

Project description:Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), characterized by recurrent infections, low serum class-switched immunoglobulin isotypes and poor antigen specific antibody responses, comprises a heterogeneous patient population in terms of clinical presentation and underlying etiology. The diagnosis is regularly associated with a severe decrease of germinal center (GC) derived B-cell populations in peripheral blood. However, data from B-cell differentiation within GC is limited. We present a multiplex approach combining histology, flow cytometry and B-cell receptor repertoire analysis of sorted GC B-cell populations allowing the modelling of distinct disturbances in GCs of three CVID patients. Our results reflect pathophysiological heterogeneity underlying the reduced circulating pool of post-GC memory B cells and plasmablasts in the three patients. In patient 1, quantitative and qualitative B-cell development in GCs is relatively normal. In patient 2, irregular shaped GCs are associated with reduced somatic hypermutation (SHM), antigen selection and class-switching, while in patient 3, high SHM, impaired antigen selection and class-switching with large single clones imply increased re-cycling of cells within the irregular shaped GCs. In lymph nodes of patients 2 and 3, only limited numbers of memory B cells and plasma cells are formed. While reduced numbers of circulating post GC B cells is a general phenomenon in CVID, the integrated approach exemplified distinct defects during GC maturation ranging from near normal morphology and function to severe disturbances with different facets of impaired maturation of memory B cells and/or plasma cells. Integrated dissection of disturbed GC B-cell maturation by histology, flowcytometry and BCR repertoire analysis reveals essential steps during memory formation.

In the Peyerâs patches (PPs), GCs are chronically induced by bacteria and are the major sites for generation of gut IgA immune responses. Whether FDCs directly contribute to the IgA production in PP GCs is unknown. To investigate the role FDCs in gut immune system, we examined comprehensive gene profiles of FDCs purified from PPs or perypheral lymph nodes (pLNs) with or without immunization. We also tried to reconstitute the PP FDC signature in vitro by pulsed or continuous stimulation of pLN FDCs through TLRs, RARs or simultaneously through TLRs and RARs. The number of samples is as follows; ex vivo naÃ¯ve pLN FDC=3, ex vivo immunized pLN FDC=2, ex vivo PP FDCs=3, in vitro without stimulation=2, in vitro with LPS stimulation for 5 hours=1, in vitro with LPS stimulation for 72h=1, in vitro with Pam2CSK4 (Pam) stimulation for 96h=2, in vitro with retinoic acid(RA) stimulation for 96h=2,in vitro with RA+Pam stimulation for 96h=2. In addition, ex vivo FDCs with or without immunizations were compared (3 samples), or in vitro cultured FDCs with or without various stimulations were compared (6 samples)

Human IgG1 (B-cell receptor) Fc peptide glycan analysis, LC-MS

Project description:Since few data are available on glycans expressed by human BCRs, we aimed to analyze the Fc glycans of membrane-bound IgG after BCR capture and tryptic digestion by LC-MS. For this purpose, human B-cell lines from Burkitt Lymphoma (Ramos) expressing IgG1-BCRs in the presence or absence of Fc glycans (FcG) were analyzed. The B-cell lines were generated by transduction of the BCR-negative MDL-AID KO cell line with N(297) or mutant Q(297) IgG-BCRs. The BCR sequences used were derived from single-cell sorted human B cells isolated from patients with the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis. Two BCRs were directed towards citrullinated antigens (2G9 and 3F3), while a third BCR was directed against tetanus toxoid (D2). In addition, we analyzed the Fc glycan profile of IgG secreted (sIgG) by human Ramos B cells for comparison.

Targeting N-linked Glycosylation for the Therapy of Human Lymphoma

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with two major biological subtypes, activated B-cell like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) DLCBL. Self-antigen engagement of B-cell receptors (BCRs) in ABC tumors promotes their clustering in the plasma membrane, thereby initiating chronic active signaling and downstream activation of the pro-survival NF-B and PI3 kinase pathways. The potential of therapeutics targeting chronic active BCR signaling in ABC DLBCL is highlighted by the frequent response of these tumors to inhibitors of BTK, a kinase that links BCR signaling to NF-B activation. Here we used genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens to identify regulators of the IRF4, a direct NF-kB target and essential transcription factor in ABC cells. Unexpectedly, inactivation of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, which mediates N-linked protein glycosylation, reduced IRF4 expression and NF-B activity in ABC cells, resulting in cell death. Using functional glycoproteogenomics we linked this phenomenon to defective BCR glycosylation. Pharmacologic inhibition of OST reduced the size and abundance of BCR microclusters in the plasma membrane and blocked their internalization. These reorganized BCRs associated with the inhibitory coreceptor CD22, which attenuated proximal BCR signaling, thereby reducing NF-B and PI3 kinase activation. OST inhibition also blocked the trafficking of TLR9 to the endolysosomal compartment, preventing its association with the BCR in the My-T-BCR signaling complex that activates NF-B in ABC cells. In GCB DLBCL, OST inhibition also attenuated constitutive BCR signaling, reducing PI3 kinase signaling and triggering cell death. Our data highlight the therapeutic potential of OST inhibitors for the treatment of diverse B cell malignancies in which constitutive BCR signaling is essential.

Stereotypic persistent B cell receptor clonotypes in Alzheimer’s Disease

Project description:The growing evidence suggest that the effect of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is not solely restricted to the brain. Numerous groups investigated the relation between the central nervous system and peripheral system, whereupon the peripheral system is closely involved in accordance with the progression of disease and systemic immunity. In our previous report, we identified shared B cell receptor (BCR) sequences among 10 AD patients which showed similar class-switching orientation, identical isotypes and high somatic hypermutation rate. For further investigation, we recruited 44 patients with AD at baseline and 37 patients for second follow-up to identify the shared BCR sequences among patients and persistent BCR within an individual patient. We were able to annotate 3983 unique AD specific BCR clonotypes and one of the clonotype showed binding affinity against human Aβ42 peptide. Our finding can provide evidence of common BCRs in AD patients exposed to antigenic stimulus which are related to AD pathogenesis.
