Project description:Waldenströms macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with apparent morphologic and immunophenotypic heterogeneity and its origins are still poorly understood. In this study, using Gene-Expression Profiling (GEP), we compared the global mRNA expression patterns of CD19+ WM B cells (WM-BC) and CD138+ WM plasma cells (WM-PC) with those of normal CD19+ peripheral blood B cells (PB-BC), tonsil-BC (T-BC), CD138+ T-PC and bone marrow PC (N-PC). Experiment Overall Design: The sample cohort studied consisted of CD19-selected peripheral blood B cells (PB-BC; n = 7), tonsil B cells (T-BC; n = 7), bone marrow B cells from WM (WM-BC; n = 12), tonsil plasma cells (T-PC; n = 9), bone marrow plasma cells from healthy donors (N-PC; n = 10), WM plasma cells (WM-PC, n = 9), and MM plasma cells (MM-PC; n = 11).

Project description:To explore events that govern the differentiation of human naïve B cells (NBCs) into memory B cells and plasma cells (PCs), we designed an in vitro 2-step culture model leading non-switched NBC precursors to differentiate into two cell compartments: CD20loCD38hi and CD20+CD38+. Both populations are characterized by distinct cell fates, the former one corresponding to plasmablasts that undergo PC terminal differentiation, with intermingled relationship between cell division and bona fide differentiation two events that are usually viewed as mutually exclusive. Postulating that extracellular cues mediated by distinct receptor-ligand interactions are likely involved in this phenomenon we explored one by one factors used in our model and found that T-cell-produced IL-2 was critical for the PC’s commitment. Interestingly, this IL-2 effect operates independently of proliferation and survival functions and required an ERK signaling. Based on our study we proposed to complete previous scheme of PRDM1/Blimp-1 controlling PC differentiation by adding the T-cell-delivered IL-2 effect, which sustains indirectly the mitogenic-induced Blimp-1 expression by downregulating IRF8 and BACH2 via an ERK signal This study highlight early events that could take place when cognate B and T cells meet and interact before seeding follicle, where crucial inputs may condition final GC B destiny. GEP was performed on the RNA of purified B cells from 3 healthy blood donors, stimulated at Day 0 and with addition or not of IL-2. Four time points were assessed Day 0, Day 0+16h, Day 0+22h and Day 4.

Project description:Long-lived plasma cells (PCs) secrete antibodies that can provide sustained immunity against infection. It has been proposed that high affinity cells are preferentially selected into this compartment, potentiating the immune response. We used single cell RNA-seq to track the germinal center (GC) development of Ighg2A10 cells, specific for the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP). Following immunization with Plasmodium sporozoites we identified 3 populations of cells in the GC light zone. One population expressed a gene signature associated with the initiation of PC differentiation and had an enhanced propensity to form PCs in vitro. Unexpectedly, the estimated affinity of this putative pre-PC population was indistinguishable from cells in the GC generally. This was also true when high- or low-avidity recombinant PfCSP proteins were used as immunogens. Immunization with low-avidity PfCSP did, however, induce increased affinity maturation. Collectively these findings suggest that the initiation of PC development in the GC occurs via an affinity independent process.

Project description:Objective: Production of pathogenic autoantibodies by self-reactive plasma cells (PC) is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases. Investigating the prevalence of PC in autoimmune disease and their relationship with known pathogenic pathways may increase our understanding of the role of PC in disease progression and treatment response. Methods: We developed a sensitive gene expression based method to overcome the challenges of measuring PC using flow cytometry. Whole genome microarray analysis of sorted cellular fractions identified a panel of genes, IGHA, IGJ, IGKC, IGKV, and TNFRSF17, expressed predominantly in PC. The sensitivity of the PC signature score created from the combined expression levels of these genes was assessed through ex vivo experiments with sorted cells. This PC gene expression signature was used for monitoring changes in PC levels following anti-CD19 therapy; evaluating the relationship between PC and other autoimmune disease-related genes; and estimating PC levels in affected blood and tissue from multiple autoimmune diseases. Results: The PC signature was highly sensitive and capable of detecting as few as 300 PCs. The PC signature was reduced over 90% in scleroderma patients following anti-CD19 treatment and this reduction was highly correlated (r = 0.77) with inhibition of collagen gene expression. Evaluation of multiple autoimmune diseases revealed 30-35% of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma patients with increased PC levels. Conclusion: This newly developed PC signature provides a robust and accurate method to measure PC levels in the clinic. Our results highlight subsets of patients across multiple autoimmune diseases that may benefit from PC depleting therapy. MI-CP200 is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating single IV doses of MEDI-551 in adult subjects with scleroderma. In this study, 5 cohorts of subjects (n=25) received 1 of 5 single IV doses of MEDI-551 (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 10.0 mg/kg) or placebo. Twenty-four healthy donor control samples are also included.

Project description:B cells differentiate into antibody-producing plasma cells, which are critical for humoral immunity, autoimmunity, and vaccine responses. Despite the importance of environmental stressors on regulating humoral immune responses, the influence of pH on PC differentiation has not been described. Here, we identified SLC4A7, a sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter, as a selective regulator of PC differentiation. SLC4A7 deletion impaired the formation of PCs and humoral immunity to influenza A virus infection in mice. Mechanistically, we find that SLC4A7 prevents acidification of intracellular pH and thus maintains lysosomal function and mTORC1 activity. Loss of SLC4A7 suppresses PC differentiation under conditions of extracellular acidosis in vitro and in a mouse model of metabolic acidosis. Here we reveal a novel relationship between the regulation of intracellular pH by SLC4A7 and mTORC1-dependent PC differentiation and humoral immunity.
