Unraveling the diversity and functions of tissue-resident plasma cells (RNA-seq of mouse antibody-secreting cells)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Antibody-secreting plasma cells (PCs) are generated in secondary lymphoid organs, but are reported to reside in an emerging range of anatomical sites. Analysis of the transcriptome of different tissue-resident (Tr)PC populations revealed that they each have their own transcriptional signature indicative of functional adaptation to the host tissue environment. In contrast to expectation, all TrPCs were extremely long-lived, regardless of their organ of residence, with the longevity influenced by intrinsic factors like the immunoglobulin isotype. This study reveals that extreme longevity is an intrinsic property of TrPCs whose transcriptome is imprinted by signals received both at the site of induction and within the tissue of residence.
