NGFR regulates germinal center B-cell activation and negative selection

ABSTRACT: The expression of the Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) was described in follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), the major lymphoid stromal cell (LSC) compartment regulating B-cell activation within germinal centers (GCs). However, the role of NGFR in humoral response is not well defined. In this work, we have studied the effect of Ngfr KO in LNs organization and function. Ngfr KO led to spontaneous GC formation and expansion of GC B-cell compartment that were related on Ngfr depletion in non-hematopoietic radioresistant compartment. In agreement, Ngfr KO mice showed alterations in LSC with an increased frequency of FDCs harboring an activated phenotype characterized by the overexpression of CD21/35, MAdCAM-1, and VCAM-1. Moreover, Ngfr KO mice showed GC ectopic location, loss of polarization, impaired high-affinity antibody production, and increased circulating autoantibodies. In addition, Ngfr KO/Bcl2 Tg mice displayed increased levels of autoantibodies, higher incidence of autoimmunity, and decreased overall survival. Our work shows that NGFR maintains GC structure and functionality being involved in the regulation of antibody production and immune tolerance.

Melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles induce lymphangiogenesis and metastasis through a NGFR-dependent mechanism

Project description:Secreted extracellular vesicles are known to influence the tumor microenvironment and promote metastasis. In this work, we have analyzed the involvement of extracellular vesicles in the establishment of lymph node pre-metastatic niches by melanoma cells. We found that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from highly metastatic melanoma cell lines spread broadly through the lymphatic system and were taken up by lymphatic endothelial cells, reinforcing lymph node metastasis. Melanoma-derived sEVs induce lymphangiogenesis, a hallmark of pre-metastatic niche formation, in vitro and in lymphoreporter mice in vivo. We found that neural growth factor receptor (NGFR) is secreted in melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles and shuttled to lymphatic endothelial cells, inducing lymphangiogenesis and tumor cell adhesion through the activation of ERK and NF-B pathways and ICAM1 expression. Importantly, ablation or inhibition of NGFR in sEVs reversed the lymphangiogenic phenotype, decreased melanoma lymph node metastasis and extended the survival. Importantly, analysis of NGFR expression in lymph node metastases and matched primary tumors shows that levels of MITF+NGFR+ lymph node metastatic cells are correlated with disease outcome. Our data support the idea that NGFR secreted in sEVs favors lymph node pre-metastatic niche formation and lymph node metastasis in melanoma

RNA sequencing analysis of NGFR ablation in both p53-positive and negative non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines

Project description:We report the gene expression profiles by NGFR knockdown in H460 and H1299 cell lines and reveal that NGFR ablation activates p53 target gene expression. We examined gene expression in two different non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines, one with wild-type p53 and the other without p53.

ABCA7-dependent induction of neuropeptide Y is required for synaptic resilience in Alzheimer's disease through BDNF/NGFR signaling

Project description:Genetic variants in ABCA7, an Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated gene, elevate AD risk, yet its functional relevance to the etiology is unclear. We generated a CRISPR-Cas9-mediated abca7 knockout zebrafish to explore ABCA7's role in AD. Single-cell transcriptomics in heterozygous abca7+/- knockout combined with Aβ42 toxicity revealed that ABCA7 is crucial for neuropeptide Y (NPY), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) expressions, which are crucial for synaptic integrity, astroglial proliferation, and microglial prevalence. Impaired NPY induction decreased BDNF and synaptic density, which are rescuable with ectopic NPY. In induced pluripotent stem cell-derived human neurons exposed to Aβ42, ABCA7-/- suppresses NPY. Clinical data showed reduced NPY in AD correlated with elevated Braak stages, genetic variants in NPY associated with AD, and epigenetic changes in NPY, NGFR, and BDNF promoters linked to ABCA7 variants. Therefore, ABCA7-dependent NPY signaling via BDNF-NGFR maintains synaptic integrity, implicating its impairment in increased AD risk through reduced brain resilience.

Transcription profiling of mouse primary splenocytes enriched or depleted of follicular dendritic cells to study the events leading to maturation of follicular dendritic cells and lymphoid germinal centers.

Project description:Comparison of follicular dendritic cell-enriched versus -depleted splenocytes. Affinity maturation and Ab class switches occur in lymphoid germinal centers (GCs), in which differentiation and maintenance depend on lymphotoxin (LT) signaling and include differentiation of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). The events leading to FDC and GC maturation are poorly defined. Using several approaches of functional genomics, we enumerated transcripts affected in mice by suppressing LT receptor (LTR) signaling and/or overrepresented in FDC-enriched GC isolates. Protein expression analysis of 3 of 12 genes both enriched in FDCs and down-regulated by LTR signaling suppression validated them as FDC markers. Functional analysis of one of these three, clusterin, suggests a role as an FDC-derived trophic factor for GC B cells. Hence, the set of genes presented in this study includes markers emanating from LTR signaling and transcripts relevant to GC and FDC function.

Follicular dendritic cells restrict IL4 availability in germinal centers and foster memory B cell generation

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are sites of antibody affinity maturation and memory B cell generation. Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) form a dense stromal network within GCs, but the full extent of their supportive activity is not understood. Here we showed that FDCs expressed IL4Ra and they reduced IL4 availability in GCs. We used scRNA-seq to examine IL4 actions within the GC and identified a subset of light zone cells marked by high IL4Ra and CD23 and lack of a Myc gene-expression signature. Trajectory inference analysis suggested this population could differentiate into pre-memory and pre-plasma cells. Genetic experiments showed that IL4Ra and STAT6 acted intrinsically to restrain pre-memory B cell generation. By reducing IL4 availability, FDCs enhanced GC B cell selection and fostered memory cell generation. This work suggests that GC FDCs provide a niche that limits bystander IL4 activity, focusing IL4 action on B cells undergoing selection and enhancing memory cell differentiation

Reversal of pre-existing NGFR-driven tumor and immune therapy resistance

Project description:In spite of the remarkable clinical benefit from immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma, both intrinsic and acquired resistance prevent durable clinical responses in many patients. Whereas melanomas are known to acquire MART-1 T cell resistance by reversible phenotype switching to an NGFRhi state, less is known about mechanisms of intrinsic immune resistance. To mimic recurrent T cell attack, we chronically exposed a panel of (patient-derived) melanoma cell lines to clinically relevant MART-1 differentiation antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells. This led to strong enrichment of a pre-existing cell population that exhibited immune resistance in vitro and in mice. These fractions showed high expression of NGFR, were maintained stably, and were found to be present in patients’ melanomas prior to treatment. Remarkably, these NGFRhi melanoma cells also displayed resistance also to T cells recognizing antigens that are unrelated to melanoma differentiation. Furthermore, these cells exhibited multidrug-resistance to other therapies including BRAF + MEK inhibition, suggesting that they exist in a stable and distinct cellular state. Clinically corroborating these findings, a tumor-intrinsic NGFR signature predicted aPD-1 therapy resistance, while NGFRhi melanoma fractions in patients were associated with immune exclusion. Lastly, genetic or pharmacologic NGFR inhibition restored tumor sensitivity to T cell attack in vitro and in melanoma xenografts. These findings demonstrate the existence of a stable and pre-existing NGFRhi multitherapy-refractory melanoma subpopulation, which ought to be eliminated to revert intrinsic resistance to immunotherapeutic intervention.
