Csk restrains BCR-mediated ROS production and contributes to germinal center selection and affinity maturation

ABSTRACT: Compared with naïve B cells, the B cell receptor (BCR) signal in germinal center (GC) B cells is attenuated; however, the significance of this signaling attenuation has not been well defined. Here, to investigate the role of attenuation of BCR signaling, we employed a Csk mutant mouse model in which Csk-deficiency in GC B cells resulted in augmentation of net BCR signaling with no apparent effect on antigen presentation. We found that Csk is required for GC maintenance and efficient antibody affinity maturation. Mechanistically, ROS-induced apoptosis was exacerbated concomitantly with mitochondrial dysfunction in Csk-deficient GC B cells. Hence, our data suggest that attenuation of the BCR signal restrains hyper-ROS production, thereby protecting GC B cells from apoptosis and contributing to efficient affinity maturation.

Transcriptional profiling of mouse germinal center B cells (B220+, GL7+, CD95+) isolated from GC-specific (Cg1-Cre) DAF-TM transgenic or control mice

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) support diversification and affinity maturation of antibody repertoires through iterative cycles of T-cell-dependent positive selection, B cell clonal expansion and antigen-receptor hypermutation. Positive selection is critical for efficient affinity maturation and depends on only partially understood signaling processes. We show that BCL6-dependent physiological repression of decay accelerating factor (DAF/CD55) on GC B cells is critical for effective positive selection and affinity maturation during GC responses. Absence of DAF on GC B cells lifts restraint on local complement activation, yielding autocrine C3a/C5a-receptor signaling that is indispensable for CD40-dependent mTOR pathway activation during positive selection. Genetic disruption of this pathway causes premature GC collapse and impairs affinity maturation. These results identify previously undiscerned targets to therapeutically manipulate protective and potentially injurious humoral immune responses.

B cell intrinsic TBK1 is essential for germinal center formation during infection and vaccination

Project description:Germinal center (GC) is a site where somatic hypermutation and clonal selection are coupled for antibody affinity maturation against infections. However, how GCs are formed and regulated is incompletely understood. Here, we identified an unexpected role of Tank-binding kinase-1 (TBK1) as a crucial B-cell-intrinsic factor for GC formation. Using immunization and malaria infection models, we show that TBK1-deficient B cells failed to form GC despite normal Tfh differentiation, although some malaria-infected B-cell-specific TBK1-deficient mice could survive by GC-independent mechanisms. Mechanistically, TBK1 phosphorylation elevates in B cells during GC differentiation and regulates the balance of IRF4/BCL6 expression by limiting CD40 and BCR activation through non-canonical NF-κB and AKTT308 signaling. In the absence of TBK1, CD40 and BCR signaling synergistically enhanced IRF4 expression in Pre-GC leading to BCL6 suppression, therefore failed to form GC. As a result, memory B cells generated from TBK1-deficient B cells fail to confer sterile immunity upon re-infection, suggesting that TBK1 determines B cell fate to promote long-lasting humoral immunity.

Regulation of bifurcating B cell trajectories by mutual antagonism between IRF4 and IRF8 (ChIP-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.

B cell receptor signaling in germinal centers prolongs survival and primes B cells for selection [single cell RNA-Seq]

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are sites of B cell clonal expansion, diversification, and antibody affinity selection. This process is limited and directed by T follicular helper cells that provide helper signals to B cells that endocytose, process, and present cognate antigens in proportion to their B cell receptor (BCR) affinity. Under this model, the BCR functions as an endocytic receptor for antigen capture. How signaling through the BCR contributes to selection is not well understood. To investigate the role of BCR signaling in GC selection, we developed a tracker for antigen binding and presentation and a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase drug-resistant-mutant mouse model. We showed that BCR signaling per se is necessary for the survival and priming of light zone B cells to receive T cell help. Our findings provide insight into how high-affinity antibodies are selected within GCs and are fundamental to our understanding of adaptive immunity and vaccine development.

Cyclin D3 drives inertial cell cycling in dark zone germinal center B cells

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are the sites of affinity maturation, the process by which antibodies improve their affinity for antigen over time (Cyster and Allen, 2019; De Silva and Klein, 2015; Eisen, 2014; Mesin et al., 2016; Rajewsky, 1996; Shlomchik et al., 2019; Victora and Nussenzweig, 2012). For efficient affinity maturation, GC B cells must cycle between two major transcriptional states, associated with localization of B cells to each of the two microanatomical “zones” of the GC. When in the dark zone (DZ), B cells proliferate vigorously while they mutate their immunoglobulin genes by somatic hypermutation (SHM). After transition to the light zone (LZ), B cells bearing advantageous mutations are selectively driven to clonally expand, based at least in part on their ability to bind and present antigen to GC-resident T follicular helper (Tfh) cells (Victora et al., 2010). Successive cycles of somatic hypermutation and affinity-based selection ultimately enrich for higher-affinity cells in among the GC B cell population, in a process known as cyclic re-entry (MacLennan, 1994; Victora and Nussenzweig, 2012).

Visualizing germinal center B cell dynamics at single cell transcriptome resolution

Project description:During a germinal center (GC) response, B cells diversify their immunoglobulin (Ig) genes by somatic hyper-mutation (SHM) and undergo clonal expansion and positive selection thereby enabling the generation of higher affinity antibodies. We have analyzed the genomic states underlying GC B cell dynamics by single cell RNA-Seq. Profiling of antigen specific GC B cells during the peak of the response, revealed four distinctive genomic states characterized by antigen presentation, apoptotic, mitochondrial and mitotic gene expression modules. Intersection of genomic states and Ig heavy-chain (Igh) class-switch trajectory suggested that mitochondrial machinery is utilized to support class-switch recombination (CSR). Furthermore, by analyzing the transcriptomes of B cells with varying affinity BCR sequences that assembled from single-cell RNA-seq data through a novel algorithm, we show that high affinity GC B cells manifest enhanced mitotic and BCR signaling transduction, but compromised antigen processing and presentation gene expression modules. Thus, we are developing a comprehensive framework of the genomic states and molecular pathways underlying GC B cell dynamics.
