Bulk RNA-seq of lung-resident memory B cells and comparison to splenic memory and naive B cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim was to utilise bulk RNAseq to compare the transcriptional profiles of memory B cells (Bmem) from the lung tissue to circulatory Bmem derived from spleen, in the context of X31 influenza-induced immune memory. In this study we utilise AID-Cre Rosa-Stop-YFP reporter mice to track previously activated B cell populations, and combine this with an X31-influenza-specific HA probe to isolate flu-specific Bmem. We find that lung Bmem express a number of tissue retention-associated genes (Cd44, Cd69) and downregulate circulatory genes (Sell, S1pr1), in comparison to splenic Bmem. We also identify a number of chemotactic factors (Cxcr3, Ccr1, Ccr5) that are expressed at higher levels in lung Bmem than splenic Bmem.
