High-throughput JH4 sequencing of germinal centers of LDHA-suffiicient and -deficient B cells

ABSTRACT: Following infection or vaccination, activated B cells at extrafollicular sites or within germinal centers (GCs) undergo vigorous clonal proliferation. Proliferating lymphocytes have been shown to undertake lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA)-dependent aerobic glycolysis; however, the specific role of this metabolic pathway in a B cell transitioning from a naïve to a highly proliferative, activated state remains poorly defined. Here, we deleted LDHA in a stage- and cell-specific manner. We find that ablation of LDHA in a naïve B cell did not profoundly affect its ability to undergo a T cell-independent extrafollicular B cell response. On the other hand, LDHA-deleted naïve B cells had a severe defect in the capacities to form GCs and mount GC-dependent antibody responses. In addition, loss of LDHA in T cells severely compromised B cell-dependent immune responses. Strikingly, when LDHA was deleted in activated, as opposed to naïve, B cells, there were only minimal effects on the GC reaction and in the generation of high-affinity antibodies. These findings strongly suggest that naïve and activated B cells have distinct metabolic requirements that are further regulated by niche and cellular interactions.

Extrafollicular IgD+ B cells Generate IgE Antibody Secreting Cells in the Nasal Mucosa

Project description:Here we describe the dynamics underlying the generation of IgE-antibody secreting cells (ASC) in human nasal polyps (NP), mucosal tissues rich in ASC without germinal centers (GC). Using VH next generation sequencing, we identified an extrafollicular (EF) mucosal IgD+ naïve-like intermediate B cell population with high connectivity to the mucosal IgE ASC. Mucosal IgD+ B cells, express germline epsilon transcripts and predominantly co-express IgM. However, a small but significant fraction co-express IgG or IgA instead which also show connectivity to ASC IgE. Phenotypically, NP IgD+ B cells display an activated profile and molecular evidence of BCR engagement. Transcriptionally, mucosal IgD+ B cells reveal an intermediate profile between naïve B cells and ASC. Single cell IgE ASC analysis demonstrates lower mutational frequencies relative to IgG, IgA, and IgD ASC consistent with IgE ASC derivation from mucosal IgD+ B cell with low mutational load. In conclusion, we describe a novel mechanism of GC-independent, extrafollicular IgE ASC formation at the nasal mucosa whereby activated IgD+ naïve B cells locally undergo direct and indirect (through IgG and IgA), IgE class-switch.

Expression data of Tfh cells

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells access the B cell follicle to promote antibody responses, and are particularly important for germinal center (GC) reactions. However, the molecular mechanisms of how Tfh cells are physically associated with GCs are incompletely understood. Here we report that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) gene is highly expressed in a subpopulation of Tfh cells that localizes in GCs. S1PR2-deficient Tfh cells exhibited reduced accumulation in GCs due to their impaired retention. T cells deficient in both S1PR2 and CXCR5 were ineffective in supporting GC responses compared to T cells deficient only in CXCR5. These results suggest that S1PR2 and CXCR5 cooperatively regulate localization of Tfh cells in GCs to support GC responses. Venus-high Tfh, Venus-low Tfh, PD1-intermediate Th, PD1-low Th and naïve CD4+ T cells were sorted on FACSAria from immunized S1pr2V/+ mice or control mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affimetrix microarrays.

Yakimchuk2019 - Mathematical modeling of immune modulation by glucocorticoids

Project description:Mathematical modeling of immune modulation by glucocorticoids Konstantin Yakimchuk https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2019.104066 Abstract The cellular and molecular mechanisms of immunomodulatory actions of glucocorticoids (GC) remain to be identified. Using our experimental findings, a mathematical model based on a system of ordinary differential equations for characterization of the regulation of anti-tumor immune activity by the both direct and indirect GC effects was generated to study the effects of GC treatment on effector CD8+ T cells, GC-generated tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC), regulatory T cells and the growth of lymphoma cells. In addition, we compared the data from in vivo and in silico experiments. The mathematical simulations indicated that treatment with GCs may suppress anti-tumor immune response in a dose-dependent manner. The model simulations were in line with earlier experimental observations of inhibitory effects of GCs on T and NK cells and DCs. The results of this study might be useful for predicting clinical outcomes in patients receiving GC therapy.

Peyer’s Patch Germinal Centers Select Innate-like BCRs

Project description:Primary B cell receptor (BCR)/antibody variable region exons are generated by V(D)J recombination with junctional diversification creating immensely diverse antigen contact-encoding CDR3s. While most antigen-driven germinal centers (GCs) are transient, gut microbiota-dependent intestinal Peyer’s patch (PP) GCs are chronic. The nature of chronic PP GC BCR repertoires and somatic hyper-mutation (SHM) patterns has remained enigmatic. To elucidate the physiological repertoire of PP GC BCRs, we developed a high throughput antibody repertoire and SHM assay. Remarkably, PP GCs from different mice expanded public clonotypes, each often with identical IgH CDR3. These CDR3s represent innate-like BCRs that appear much more frequently than expected in naïve B cell repertoire by IGoR modeling, but not frequently enough to enter PP GCs at the observed recurrence without cellular selection. Consistently, some public clonotypes are gut microbiota-dependent and encode antibodies reactive to bacteria glycans, while others are not. SPF fecal transfer to germ-free (GF) mice restored two germ-dependent clonotypes, providing direct evidence for BCR selection. In support of this, we identified recurrently selected SHMs in four of the public clonotypes, demonstrating affinity maturation in chronic PP GCs. Our findings suggest that persistent gut antigens select for innate-like BCR clonotypes to seed chronic PP GCs.

Germinal centers continually recruit naïve T cells that alter the balance between follicular T helper and follicular regulatory T cells.

Project description:Follicular helper T cells (T FH ) mediate B cell selection and clonal expansion in germinal centers (GCs), and follicular regulatory T cells (T FR ) prevent the emergence of self-reactive B cells and help to extinguish the reaction. Here we show that GC reactions continually recruit T cells from both the naïve conventional and naive thymic regulatory T cell (Treg) repertoires. In the early GC, newly recruited T cells develop into T FH , whereas cells entering during the contraction phase develop into T FR cells that contribute to GC dissolution. The T FR fate decision is associated with decreased antigen availability and is modulated by slow antigen delivery or mRNA vaccination. Thus, invasion of ongoing GCs by newly developing T FH and T FR from naïve conventional and Treg repertoires, helps remodel the GC based on antigen availability.

Regulation of bifurcating B cell trajectories by mutual antagonism between IRF4 and IRF8 (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Upon antigen recognition B cells undertake a bifurcated response in which some cells rapidly differentiate into plasmablasts while others undergo affinity maturation in germinal centers (GC). We uncover a double negative feedback loop between interferon regulatory factors IRF4 and IRF8, which regulates the initial bifurcation of activated B cells as well as the GC response. IRF8 dampens BCR signaling, facilitates antigen specific interaction with helper T cells, and promotes selection of high affinity clones while antagonizing IRF4 driven plasmablast differentiation. Genomic analysis reveals concentration dependent action of IRF4 and IRF8 in regulating distinctive gene expression programs. Stochastic modeling suggests that the double negative feedback is sufficient to initiate bifurcating B cell developmental trajectories. Naïve B cells were isolated from Irf8+/+ (wild type, WT) mice spleen and activated in vitro with 10μg/ml LPS (Sigma). CD138hi IgMhi (IRF4hi*) cells and CD138lo IgMlo (IRF8hi*) cells were sorted by flow cytometry at 72 hours. Total RNA was prepared by using Rneasy Mini kit (Qiagen) and sequenced with Illumina HiSeq2500. Alignment was performed with Taphat2, and transcript abundance quantification using Cuffdiff function from Cufflinks. GC B cells were sorted from CD19cre/+ Irf8+/+ (Ctrl) or CD19cre/+ Irf8flox/flox (Irf8 cKO) mice on dpi 13 post NP-KLH immunization. Total RNA was prepared by using Rneasy Mini kit (Qiagen) and amplified with with Ovation RNA-Seq System v2 (NuGEN). The data were analyzed by Wardrobe. More details are provided in the manuscript.

Lineage tracing of mutant granulosa cells reveals in vivo protective mechanisms that prevent granulosa cell tumorigenesis

Project description:In the current study, we combined a multi-fluorescent reporter mouse model with a conditional knockout mouse model, in which the tumor suppressor genes Pten and p27 were deleted in GCs, to perform cell lineage tracing of mutant GCs. We found that only 30% of ovaries with substantial mutant GCs developed into GCTs that derived from a single mutant GC. In-depth molecular analysis of the process of tumorigenesis demonstrated that up-regulation of immune evasion genes Cd24a and Cd47 led, in part, to the transition of mutant GCs to GCTs. Therefore, treatment with the Cd47 inhibitor RRX-001 was tested and found to efficiently suppress the growth of GCTs in vivo.

EZH2 mutations reprogram the immune response to yield a pre-malignant lymphoma niche [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The mechanism through which lymphoma-associated EZH2 gain-of-function mutations disrupt the immune system to initiate malignant transformation is poorly understood. Conditional expression of mutant Ezh2 in germinal center (GC) B-cells provides a competitive advantage to activated B-cells in expanding the GC light zone (LZ) that is not caused by failure to differentiate and exit the GC. Instead, the LZ enlargement is explained by reduced apoptosis of Ezh2 mutant centrocytes, aberrant LZ proliferation, and failure of these centrocytes to re-enter the dark zone (DZ). Ezh2 mutant GCs fail to engage T-cells and to undergo clonal diversification, exhibiting a reduced IgV mutation frequency. Hence the dominant competitive advantage effect of Ezh2 mutation during early stages of transformation is to uncouple GC B-cells from T-cell help checkpoint, which allows GC B-cells entering the LZ to persist and expand regardless of their immunoglobulin status, reflecting the biology of low-grade follicular lymphomas.
