Single-cell 5' RNA sequencing of Bactrian camel PBMCs

ABSTRACT: Camelids are capable of producing both conventional tetrameric antibodies (Abs) and dimeric heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs). While B cells generating these two types of Abs exhibit distinct B-cell receptors (BCRs), it remains unclear whether these two B cell populations differ in their phenotypes and developmental processes. Here, we collected eight PBMC samples before and after immunization from four Bactrian camels and conducted single-cell 5’ RNA sequencing. We characterized the functional subtypes and differentiation trajectories of circulating B cells in camels, including native B cells, memory B cells, intermediate B cells, atypical B cells, and plasma cells. Additionally, we reconstructed single-cell BCR sequences and revealed the IGHV and IGHC gene types. We found that B cells with variable genes of HACbs (VHH) were widely present in various functional subtypes and showed highly overlapping differentiation trajectories to B cells with variable genes of conventional Abs (VH). After immunization, the transcriptional changes in VHH+ and VH+ B cells were also largely consistent. Our study not only elucidates the cellular context of HCAb production in camels, but also lays the foundation for the development of single B cell-based nanobody screening.

Fc receptor-like 6 (FCRL6) defines pre-BCR dependent and independent pathways of natural antibody selection

Project description:B-1a cells produce ‘natural’ antibodies (Abs) to neutralize pathogens and clear neo self-antigens, but the fundamental selection mechanisms that shape their polyreactive repertoires are poorly understood. Here, we identified a B cell progenitor subset defined by Fc receptor-like 6 (FCRL6) expression, harboring innate-like defense, migration, and differentiation properties conducive for natural Ab generation Compared to FCRL6- pro B cells, the repressed mitotic, DNA damage repair, and signaling activity of FCRL6+ progenitors, yielded VH repertoires with biased distal Ighv segment accessibility, constrained diversity, and hydrophobic and charged CDR-H3 sequences. Beyond nascent autoreactivity, VH11 productivity, which predominates phosphatidylcholine-specific B-1a B cell receptors (BCRs), was higher for FCRL6+ cells as was pre-BCR formation, which was required for Myc induction and VH11, but not VH12, B-1a development. Thus, FCRL6 revealed unexpected heterogeneity in the developmental origins, regulation, and selection of natural Abs at the pre-BCR checkpoint with implications for autoimmunity and lymphoproliferative disorders.

Germline-Encoded Affinity for Cognate Antigen Enables Vaccine Amplification of a Human Broadly Neutralizing Response Against Influenza Virus

Project description:Antibodies display antigen-binding loops comprised of a hypervariable CDRH3 and V gene-encoded CDRs, where the latter may harbor gene-endowed or ‘public’ targeting solutions. To test this, we generated transgenic mice containing human CDRH3 diversity but simultaneously constrained to individual human immunoglobulin VH genes, including IGHV1-69, which shows biased usage in human broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting the hemagglutinin stalk of Group 1 influenza A viruses. We then rank-ordered the VH-contribution to bnAb-epitope targeting following exposure to viral and nanoparticle displays of hemagglutinin. Notably, sequential immunization with a stalk-only hemagglutinin nanoparticle elicited Group 1 bnAbs, but only in IGHV1-69 constrained mice. This response required minimal affinity maturation, could be elicited under pre-existing influenza immunity, and when IGHV1-69 B cells were diluted to match the frequency measured in humans. Thus, encoded CDRs can naturally endow for specific antibody targets, and a rationally designed immunogen may elicit human influenza bnAbs through this principle.

Multiple tolerance checkpoints restrain affinity maturation of B cells expressing the germline precursor of a lupus patient-derived anti-dsDNA antibody in knock-in mice

Project description:Anti-dsDNA antibodies are a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus and are highly associated with its exacerbation. Cumulative evidence has suggested that somatic hypermutation contributes to the high-affinity reactivity of anti-dsDNA antibodies. Our previous study demonstrated that these antibodies are generated from germline precursors with low-affinity ssDNA reactivity through affinity maturation and clonal expansion in patients with acute lupus. This raised the question of whether such precursors could be subject to immune tolerance. To address this, we generated a site-directed knock-in (KI) mouse line, G9gl, which carries germline-reverted sequences of the VH–DH–JH and Vκ–Jκ regions of patient-derived, high-affinity anti-dsDNA antibodies. G9gl heterozygous mice had a reduced number of peripheral B cells, only 27% of which expressed G9gl B cell receptor (BCR). The remaining B cells harbored non-KI allele-derived immunoglobulin heavy (IgH) chains or fusion products of upstream mouse VH and the KI gene, suggesting that receptor editing through VH replacement occurred in a large proportion of B cells in the KI mice. G9gl BCR-expressing B cells responded to ssDNA but not dsDNA, and exhibited several anergic phenotypes, including reduced surface BCR and shortened life span. Further, G9gl B cells were excluded from germinal centers (GCs) induced by several conditions. In particular, following immunization with methylated bovine serum albumin-conjugated bacterial DNA, G9gl B cells occurred at a high frequency in memory B cells but not GC B cells or plasmablasts. Thus, multiple tolerance checkpoints prevented low-affinity precursors of pathogenic anti-dsDNA B cells from undergoing clonal expansion and affinity maturation in GCs.

Allelic Polymorphism Gates Autoreactivity and Vaccine-Elicitation of Human Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Against Influenza Virus

Project description:Human broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting the hemagglutinin stalk of group 1 influenza A viruses (IAVs) are biased for IGHV1-69 alleles that use phenylalanine (F54) but not leucine (L54) within their CDRH2 loops. Despite this, we demonstrate that both alleles encode for human IAV bnAbs that employ structurally convergent modes of contact to the same epitope. To resolve differences in lineage-expandability, we compared F54 vs L54 as substrate within humanized mice where antibodies develop with human-like CDRH3 diversity but are restricted to single VH-genes. While both alleles encoded for bnAb precursors, only F54 IGHV1-69 supported elicitation of heterosubtypic serum bnAbs following immunization with a stalk-only nanoparticle vaccine. L54 IGHV1-69 was unproductive, co-encoding for anergic B cells and autoreactive stalk antibodies that were cleared from B cell memory. Moreover, human stalk antibodies also demonstrated L54-dependent autoreactivity. IGHV1-69 polymorphism, which is skewed ethnically, therefore gates tolerance and vaccine-expandability of influenza bnAbs.

Analysis of murine neonatal Germinal Center (GC) B cells transcriptome (RNA-Seq) following HA/CAF01 immunization in the presence or absence of maternal antibodies

Project description:Purpose: the goals of this study are to characterize GC B cells elicited by neonatal immunization with HA/CAF01 at the transcriptome level (RNA-seq) and study whether and how maternal antibodies affect GC B cell differentiation in early life Methods: transcriptomic analysis of highly pure GC B cells and the corresponding non-GC B cells isolated from draining lymph nodes of immunized neonatal mice were generated by HiSeq 4000 sequencing, using Illumina Technology. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed using the package edgeR: the fold-change and the Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p-value thresholds were set to 2 and 0.05 respectively. Main results: 1) we identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GC B cells versus non-GC B cells in murine neonates born to naive or influenza-immune mothers and observed that the canonical changes reflecting the acquisition of a GC B cell phenotype and state after neonatal immunization are not affected by high titers of maternal antibodies. 2) 39 DEGs distinguished GC B cells elicited in the presence or absence of MatAbs. GC B cells elicited in presence or absence of MatAbs used different VH and Vk genes and showed differences in genes associated with B cell differentiation and isotype switching.

Biogenerated oxygen-related environmental stressed apoptotic body targets endothelial cells

Project description:he dynamic balance of hypoxia and oxidative stress constitutes the oxygen-related microenvironment in injured tissues. Oxygen homeostasis is highly variable; therefore, it is not a therapeutic target for injured tissue repair. We found an enrichment and extensive apoptosis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infused intravenously in the wound microenvironment with co-existing hypoxia and oxidative stress. Apoptotic bodies (ABs), generated from in situ apoptosis, significantly promotes angiogenesis. We improved the derivation pathway of ABs by simulating oxygen homeostasis in injured tissues, with cobalt chloride-induced hypoxia or hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in MSCs. Oxygen-related environmental stressed ABs, derived from environments of hypoxic and oxidative stress, were identified and loaded onto hydrogel microspheres for accurate regulation of endothelial cells (ECs) vascularization. These ABs directly targeted ECs; oxidative stress ABs (Oxi-ABs) have a 2.5- and 4-fold higher tube-forming ability than hypoxic and normoxic ABs, respectively. miRNA microarray analysis revealed that different oxygen-stressed ABs deliver similar miRNAs, which leads to the broad upregulation of EC phosphokinase activity. Finally, local delivery of Oxi-ABs-loaded hydrogel microspheres promotes wound healing. Oxi-ABs-loaded hydrogel microspheres achieved controlled AB release, targeting EC by reducing the consumption of early inflammatory cells and adapting to the proliferative phase of wound healing. Thus, the biogenerated apoptotic bodies responding to oxygen-related environmental stress can target ECs to promote vascularization.

Overcoming steric restrictions of VRC01 HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies through immunization

Project description:Broadly HIV-1 neutralizing VRC01-class antibodies target the CD4-binding site of Env. They are derived from VH1-2*02 antibody heavy chains paired with rare light chains expressing five amino acid long CDRL3s. They have been isolated from infected subjects but have not yet been elicited by immunization. Env-derived immunogens capable of binding the germline forms of VRC01 B cell receptors on naïve B cells have been designed and evaluated in knock-in mice. However, the elicited antibodies cannot bypass glycans present on the conserved position N276 of Env, which restricts access to the CD4-binding site. Efforts to guide the appropriate maturation of these antibodies by sequential immunization have not yet been successful. Here, we report on a two-step immunization scheme that led to the maturation of VRC01-like antibodies capable of accommodating the N276 glycan and displaying autologous tier 2 neutralizing activities. Our results are relevant to clinical trials aiming to elicit VRC01 antibodies.

RNA-seq of variable heavy and light IgG fragments of CD19(+)CD24(high)CD38(high) subpopulation isolated from peripheral blood of patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy donors.

Project description:To date nothing is known about the specificity of regulatory B cells. Here we analyzed the B cell repertoire at the Ig gene level of regulatory transitional CD24(high)CD38(high) B cells of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in comparison with healthy donors. 5 patients with highly active MS, 4 patients with benign MS and 6 healthy donors were examined. Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood were stained against CD19, CD24 and CD38 surface markers. Subpopulation CD19(+)CD24(high)CD38(high) and total pool of CD19(+) cells were sorted individually for subsequent RNA isolation and BCR sequences comparison. Variable heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains genes of each patient were amplified from cDNA and deep sequencing of the VH and VL genes was carried out.

Long primed germinal centers with enduring affinity maturation and clonal migration

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are the engines of antibody evolution. Using HIV Env protein immunogen priming in rhesus monkeys (RM) followed by a long period without further immunization, we demonstrate GC B cells (BGC) lasted at least 6 months. A 186-fold BGC cell increase was present by week 10 compared to a conventional immunization. Single cell transcriptional profiling revealed both light and dark zone GC states were sustained. Antibody somatic hypermutation (SHM) of BGC cells continued to accumulate throughout the 29-week priming period, with evidence of selective pressure. Env-binding BGC cells were still 49-fold above baseline at 29 weeks, suggesting they could be active for even longer periods of time. High HIV neutralizing antibody titers were generated after a single booster immunization. Fully glycosylated HIV trimer protein is a complex antigen, posing significant immunodominance challenges for B cells. Memory B cells (BMem) generated under these long priming conditions had higher levels of SHM, and both BMem cells and antibodies were more likely to recognize non-immunodominant epitopes. Numerous BGC cell lineage phylogenies spanning the >6-month GC period were identified, demonstrating continuous GC activity and selection for at least 191 days with no additional antigen exposure. A long prime, slow delivery (12-day) immunization approach holds promise for difficult vaccine targets, and suggests that patience can have great value for tuning GCs to maximize antibody responses.
