Transcriptional profiles of knockouts of m6A writer and readers in Germinal Center B cells

ABSTRACT: We performed RNA-seq (MARS-seq) on germinal center (GC) light zone and dark zone B cells sorted to purity from freshly dissociated mouse popliteal lymph nodes immunized with NP-KLH for 7 to 14 days. Germinal center B cell subsets were gated as follows: Dump (CD8, CD4, F4/80, Gr-1)- B220+ CD38- GL-7+ FAS+. Dark zone GC cells were in addition CD86lo, CXCR4hi; LZ cells were in addition CD86hi, CXCR4lo. Three different mouse models were used: AID-cre Mettl3-flox, AID-cre Ythdf2-flox, Igf2bp3-knockout. We used these data to derive differentially expressed genes between B cell subsets of control and knockout genotypes. We also performed m6A-IP on ex vivo activated wild type B cells and determined the m6A targets in B cells. These studies revealed that the GC response depends on m6A RNA methylation and the functions of specific methyl-readers Ythdf2 and Igf2bp3.

SENP1 Regulates Germinal Center B Cell Responses through PAX5-deSUMOylation mediated AID expression

Project description:Humoral immunity depends on germinal center reaction where B cells are tightly controlled for class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation, and finally generated into plasma and memory B cells. However, how protein SUMOylation control the key events of GC B cells remains to be understood. Here, we show that SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is upregulated in GC B cells. Selective ablation of Senp1 within GC B cells led to defective dark zone versus light zone GC B organization, impaired IgG1-switched GC B cells, and compromised antibody response. In addition, the formation of antigen-specific plasma and memory B cells were also diminished when SENP1 was deleted in GC B cells. Mechanistically, SENP1 was indispensable for expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). SENP1-mediated Paired box protein 5 deSUMOylation suppressed the transcription to AID, which might be responsible for defective CSR in vivo. Our study not only established the importance of protein SUMOylation for the maintenance of GC B cell function but also clarified a novel mechanism to the modulation of AID expression.

Protein amounts of the MYC transcription factor determine germinal center B cell division capacity

Project description:High affinity B cell selection in the germinal center (GC) is governed by signals delivered by follicular helper T cells (Tfh) to B cells. Selected B cells undergo clonal expansion and affinity maturation in the GC dark zone in direct proportion to the amount of antigen they capture and present to Tfh cells in the light zone. Here we examined the mechanisms whereby Tfh cells program the number of GC B cell divisions. Gene expression analysis revealed that Tfh induce MYC expression in light zone B cells in direct proportion to antigen capture. Conditional Myc haplo-insufficiency or over-expression combined with cell division tracking showed that MYC expression produces a metabolic reservoir in selected light zone B cells that is proportional to the number of cell divisions in the dark zone. Thus, MYC constitutes the germinal center B cell division timer that when deregulated leads to emergence of B cell lymphoma.

RNAseq of germinal center B cells from Blimp-1-GFP reporter mice

Project description:RNAseq of germinal center B cells with different Blimp-1-GFP reporter level. Sorted germinal center populations were defined by their expression of Blimp-1-GFP reporter and the cell surface marker CD138 before they were further split into dark zone or light zone / dark zone like or light zone like cells based on their expression of the surface marker CXCR4 and CD83. We used RNAseq to find genes differentially regulated in various Blimp-1-GFP expressing germinal center populations from the spleen at day 10 after intraperitoneal immunisation with sheep red blood cells.

Gene expression in human germinal center light zone and dark zone B cells

Project description:Microarrays of gene expression in human germinal center light zone and dark zone B cells sorted according to the expression of cell surface molecules CD83 and CXCR4 We used microarray data to identify genes differentially expressed by B cells in the light and dark zones of germinal centers from human tonsil specimens. Germinal center B cells (CD19+CD38+IgD-) were sorted from pediatric tonsil discard specimens into light zone (CXCR4hi/CD83lo) and dark zone (CXCR4lo/CD83hi) populations, from which RNA was extracted

Project description:Microarrays of gene expression in mouse germinal center B cells photoactivated in the light zone or dark zone, and of naïve cells for comparison. We used microarray data to identify genes differentially expressed by B cells in the light and dark zones of the germinal center. Light and dark zone cells were photoactivated in day 7 germinal centers and sorted by flow cytometry. Naïve splenic B cells(IgD+CD19+) were sorted for comparison.

Transcription factor Ascl2 promotes geminal center B cell responses through directly regulating AID transcription

Project description:During germinal center (GC) reactions, activated B cells undergo clonal expansion and functional maturation to produce high-affinity antibodies, and differentiate into plasma and memory cells, accompanied with class-switching recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is responsible for both CSR and SHM in GC B cells. Transcriptional mechanisms underlying AID regulation and GC B cell reactions are still not well understood. Here, we show that expression of Ascl2 transcription factor is upregulated in GC B cells. Ectopic expression of Ascl2 promotes GC B cell development and enhances antibody production as well as affinity maturation. Conversely, deletion of Ascl2 in B cells impairs the germinal center response. Genome-wide analysis reveals that Ascl2 directly regulates GC B cell-related genes, including AID; ectopic expression of AID in Ascl2-deficient B cells rescues their antibody defects. Thus, Ascl2 regulates AID transcription and promotes germinal center B cell responses.

Genome-wide analysis of chromatin accessibility in human tonsillar B cell subsets

Project description:We performed ATAC-Seq on three freshly dissociated human tonsils sorted to purity into the following B-cell subsets: CD19+ naïve (IgD+/CD38-), memory (IgD-/CD38-), germinal center light zone (IgD-/CD38mid/CD83+/CXCR4lo), germinal center dark zone (IgD-/CD38mid/CD83lo/CXCR4hi), and plasma cells (IgD-/CD38hi). We used these data to derive differentially accessible sites between B-cell subsets and relative to EBV-immortalized B cell lines (LCLs). These studies revealed similarities between LCLs and both DZ and LZ GC cells at the BCL2A1 (BFL1) locus that formed the impetus for further three-dimensional chromatin studies, which are the focus of the associated manuscript.
