Project description:The goal of this study was to profile Blimp1 binding in E18.5 small intestine using a Blimp-1-eGFP knock-in allele, and to compare Blimp-1-eGFP genomic binding with Irf-1 genomic binding in normal small intestine. Changes in Irf-1 binding between wild type and Prdm1/Blimp-1 mutant small intestine were also assessed. ChIP-seq was performed for Blimp-1-eGFP in duplicate in E18.5 small intestine expressing the fusion protein using anti-GFP antibody. As a negative control a single anti-GFP ChIP was also performed in wild type small intestine. ChIP-seq for Irf-1 was performed in duplicate in both wild type and Prdm1/Blimp-1 mutant E18.5 small intestine using an anti-Irf-1 antibody. Duplicate IgG ChIP control in wild types was performed as a negative control. All samples had an associated input chromatin sample sequenced.

Project description:B cells encounter antigen to activate and then differentiate into plasma cells. Both multiple myeloma (MM) and some autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are characterized with abnormal production of plasma cells. In both diseases, the process of B cells differentiate into plasma cell is disordered. To explore the novel therapeutic target to the process from naïve B cells to plasma cells via activated B cells, we determined the gene expression profile in activated B cells by affymetrix microarrays. Splenic activated CD5+B cells were sorted from 7-9-week female C57BL/6 mice by FACS and from EAE (MOG-induced chronic experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in C57BL/6 mice is an animal model for MS) by CD19 microbeads, respectively. The transcripts in B cells were determined by Affymetrix Microarrays.

Project description:Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine required for the pathogenicity of T helper 17 (Th17) cells but the molecular mechanisms governing this process remain unclear. We identified the transcription factor Blimp-1 (Prdm1) as a key IL-23-induced factor that drove the inflammatory function of Th17 cells. In contrast to thymic deletion of Blimp-1, which causes T cell development defects and spontaneous autoimmunity, peripheral deletion of this transcription factor resulted in reduced Th17 activation and reduced severity of autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Furthermore, genome wide occupancy and overexpression studies in Th17 cells revealed that Blimp-1 co-localized with transcription factors RORγt, STAT-3 and p300 at the Il23r, Il17a/f and Csf2 cytokine loci to enhance their expression. Blimp-1 also directly bound to and repressed cytokine loci Il2 and Bcl6. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Blimp-1 is an essential transcription factor downstream of IL-23 that acts in concert with RORγt to activate the Th17 inflammatory program.

Project description:Differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting cells (ASCs), plasmablasts and plasma cells, is regulated by a network of transcription factors. Within this network factors including PAX5 and BCL6 prevent ASC differentiation and maintain the B cell phenotype whereas BLIMP-1 and high IRF4 expression promote plasmacytic differentiation. BLIMP-1 is thought to induce immunoglobulin secretion. While IRF4 is needed for the survival of ASCs, its role in the regulation of antibody secretion has been controversial. BCL6-deficient DT40 B cell line has upregulated BLIMP-1 expression and secrete antibodies. In order to study the role of IRF4 in regulation of antibody secretion we have created a double knockout (DKO) DT40 B cell line deficient in both IRF4 and BCL6. This DKO cell line did not upregulate PRDM1 (the gene encoding for BLIMP-1) expression or secrete IgM. Even enforced BLIMP-1 expression in DKO cells or IRF4-deficient cells could not induce IgM secretion while it did in WT cells. However, enforced IRF4 expression in DKO cells induced strong IgM secretion. Our findings support a model where IRF4 expression in addition to BLIMP-1 expression is required to induce antibody secretion.

Project description:Long-term humoral immunity is partly maintained by memory B cells (MBCs). MBCs can be recalled to produce antibody-producing plasma cells (PCs) or form secondary germinal centers (GCs). The former process underlies markedly increased antigen-specific antibodies seen in the secondary response, while the latter process allows continuous somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. MBC re-participation in the GC reaction is thought to be important for generating broadly neutralizing antibodies against highly mutating viruses such as influenza and HIV. However, how MBC recall is transcriptionally or epigenetically programmed to produce secondary PCs or GCs is not yet understood. Here we show that BACH2, a transcription factor required for GC formation and maintenance1,2, decreases across post-activation stages of B cells, from the NAIVE state to GC, memory, and the terminal PC state. In contrast, BLIMP-1, a transcription factor that promotes PC formation3,4 and is antagonistic to BACH2 (ref. 5), increases as B cells traverse the same course. The relative strength between BLIMP-1 and BACH2 progressively increases in favor of BLIMP-1 in GCs and MBCs through the primary response. MBCs of the isotype or subset identity that preferentially give rise to secondary GCs exhibit comparatively higher BACH2 but lower BLIMP-1 expression than those predisposed for PC formation. Using a tetracycline-controlled circuit implanted in MBCs, we show that skewing the BLIMP-1-BACH2 balance in favor of BACH2 markedly increases GC formation by otherwise PC-predisposed MBCs, whereas skewing the balance in favor of BLIMP-1 drives PC formation by GC-prone MBCs, indicating that the potential for GC re-participation or PC development rests in the relative strength of BLIMP-1 over BACH2 within individual MBCs. Underneath this relative BLIMP-1-over-BACH2 strength in NAIVE B cells, GCs, MBCs and PCs, we observe progressively increased accessibilities to chromatin loci that are specifically opened in PCs, particularly those that contain ISRE elements and are controlled by IRF-4. IRF-4 is universally upregulated in B cells when stimulated through the BCR, the CD40 receptor, or by innate stimuli. By analyzing time-stamped GC B cells, we demonstrate a progressive increase in chromatin accessibilities at PC-specific, IRF-4-controlled gene loci over time. Our results support a model of progressive IRF-4 imprinting in which the cumulative stimulation history of B cells is epigenetically recorded in an IRF-4-dependent manner, determines the relative strength between BLIMP-1 and BACH2 in individual MBCs, and thereby dictates their individual probabilities to develop into GCs or PCs upon re-stimulation.
