Project description:Rationale: Elevated numbers of antibody secreting cells (ASCs) and anti-dsDNA antibodies are found in nasal polyp (NP) tissue. Tissue anti-dsDNA IgG prospectively predicts recurrent NP, but the characteristics of the source ASCs are unknown. Objectives: To investigate whether NP B cells expressing the extrafollicular marker EBI2 have increased propensity for autoantibody production and to evaluate the molecular characteristics of NP ASCs. Findings: NPs (n=8) showed increased frequencies of anti-dsDNA IgG and total IgG ASCs (34- and 9-fold, respectively, both p<0.0001) compared to tonsils (n=10), with more pronounced differences among EBI2+ cells. In NPs, EBI2+ cells were frequently double-negative (IgD-CD27-) and ASCs (36.3% and 19.5%, respectively). ScRNA-seq analysis of tonsils and NPs (both n=5) revealed substantial differences in B lineage composition: ASCs (1.2% vs 44.1%), germinal center (23.1% vs 0.2%), proliferative (12.6% vs 3.0%), and non-ASCs (63.1% vs 52.7%), respectively. NPs exhibited higher expression (>2-fold) of specific isotypes (IGHE, IGHA1, IGHA2, and IGHG4), and mature plasma genes including SDC1 and XBP1 than tonsils. GO biological processes indicated upregulated NF-κB and downregulated apoptosis pathways in NP ASCs. Conclusions: NP EBI2+ ASCs secreted increased total and anti-dsDNA IgG compared to those from tonsils and had molecular features of mature plasma cell differentiation.

Project description:Following activation by cognate antigen, B cells undergo fine-tuning of their antigen receptors and may ultimately differentiate into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). While antigen-specific antibodies from B cell receptor (BCR) expressing B cells can be readily cloned and sequenced following flow sorting, antigen-specific plasma cells that lack surface BCR cannot be easily profiled in a high-throughput way. Here, we report an approach, TRAPnSeq (antigen specificity mapping through Ig secretionTRAPandSequencing), that allows capture of secreted antibodies on the surface of ASCs, which in turn enables high-throughput screening of single ASCs against large antigen panels and recovery of paired VH:VL antibody sequences. This approach incorporates flow cytometry, standard microfluidic platforms and DNA barcoding technologies to isolate and characterize antigen-specific ASCs through single cell V(D)J, RNA and antigen barcode sequencing. We show the utility of TRAPnSeq by profiling antigen-specific IgG and IgE plasma cells from mouse and humans and validate antigen binding by ELISA. TRAPnSeq can easily be combined with existing B cell platforms to accelerate antibody discovery from ASCs and can further be expanded to any protein secreting-cells.

Project description:We analyzed age-related defects in B cell populations from young and aged mice. Microarray analysis of bone marrow resident antibody secreting cells (ASCs) showed significant changes upon aging, affecting multiple genes, pathways and functions including those that play a role in immune regulation, humoral immune responses, chromatin structure and assembly, cell metabolism and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Aged ASCs expressed higher levels of immunoregulators including PD-1. Increased PD-1 expression was also seen on mature aged B cells indicating early defects in the lineage. High PD-1 expression on the aged ASCs correlated with high cellular reactive oxygen species levels. Mitochondrial defects in aged B cells were further confirmed by the absence of an increases in basal respiration observed upon in vitro stimulation of young B cells

Project description:Human adipose tissue contains two populations of progenitors (EPCs and ASCs) with cooperative roles in breast cancer. EPCs (CD45-CD34+CD31+CD13-CCRL2+) can generate endothelial cells. ASCs (CD45-CD34+CD31-CD13+CD140b+) are mesenchymal progenitors which generated pericytes.

Project description:Upon encounter with antigen, mature B cells undergo complex changes in their physiological state and anatomical localization, and initiate a differentiation process that ultimately produces antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), a major effector population of the immune system. To better characterize this process we have defined the transcriptome of all stages of B cell terminal differentiation by performing a large scale RNA-seq experiment. This analysis provides a molecular signature of ASC populations that highlights the stark transcriptional divide between B cells and plasma cells, and also enables the demarcation ASCs based on location, cell cycle status and maturity. The gene expression changes strongly correlated with cell division history and the acquisition of permissive histone modifications and were clearly evident in the small subset of regulatory genes containing super-enhancers. These findings highlight the core transcriptional program that guides B cell terminal differentiation and the production of antibody, essential processes in the immune response.

Project description:Cytoskeletal tension is an intracellular mechanism through which cells convert a mechanical signal into a biochemical response, including production of cytokines and activation of various signaling pathways. Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) were allowed to spread into large cells by seeding them at a low-density (1,250 cells/cm2), which was observed to induce osteogenesis. Conversely, ASCs seeded at a high-density (25,000 cells/cm2) featured small cells that promoted adipogenesis. RhoA and actin filaments were altered by changes in cell size. Blocking actin polymerization by Cytochalasin D influenced cytoskeletal tension and differentiation of ASCs. To understand the potential regulatory mechanisms leading to actin cytoskeletal tension, cDNA microarray was performed on large and small ASCs. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was identified as a major regulator of osteogenesis associated with RhoA mediated cytoskeletal tension. Subsequently, knock-down of CTGF by siRNA in ASCs inhibited this osteogenesis. Therefore, we conclude that cytoskeletal tension is important for CTGF-regulated ASC osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:Antibody-secreting cells (ASC) circulate after vaccination and infection and migrate to the bone marrow (BM) where a subset known as long-lived plasma cells (LLPC) persist and secrete antibodies for a lifetime. The mechanisms of how circulating ASC become LLPC is not well elucidated. Here, we show that human early-minted blood ASCs have distinct morphology, transcriptomes, and epigenetics compared to human BM LLPC. Compared to blood ASC, BM LLPC have decreased nucleus/cytoplasm ratio but increased endoplasmic reticulum and numbers of mitochondria. Additionally, LLPC acquire transcriptional and epigenetic differences in multiple cellular pathways that include apoptosis. Upregulation of the anti-apoptotic genes MCL1, BCL2, BCL-XL while simultaneously downregulation of pro-apoptotic genes HRK1, CASP3, and CASP8 occurs in LLPC. Consistent with the decrease in gene expression, pro-apoptotic gene loci are less accessible in LLPC. In contrast, anti-apoptotic gene expression is increased but is not always accompanied by changes in accessibility. Importantly, we show that early-minted blood ASCs undergo morphological and transcriptional changes that make these cells resemble ex vivo BM ASCs, suggesting that the BM microniche at least in part promotes LLPC maturation. Overall, our study demonstrates that early-minted blood ASC in the BM microniche must undergo morphological, transcriptional, and epigenetic changes to mature into apoptotic-resistant LLPC.

Project description:Differentiation of B cells into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) is a key process to generate protective humoral immunity. A detailed understanding of the cues controlling ASC differentiation is important to devise strategies to modulate antibody formation. Here, we dissected differentiation trajectories of human naive B cells into ASCs using single-cell RNA sequencing. By comparing transcriptomes of B cells at different stages of differentiation from an in vitro model with ex vivo B cells and ASCs, we uncovered a novel pre-ASC population present ex vivo in lymphoid tissues. For the first time, a germinal-center-like population is identified in vitro from human naive B cells and possibly progresses into a memory B cell population through an alternative route of differentiation, thus recapitulating in vivo human GC reactions. Our work allows further detailed characterization of human B cell differentiation into ASCs or memory B cells in both healthy and diseased conditions.
