BCR repertoire of B cells with distinct developmental timings

ABSTRACT: B cells are known to have different properties and BCR repertoires depending on the time of development. Our objective is to investigate the BCR repertoire of B cells across embryonic, neonatal, and adult stages, particularly in cells with a RAG2 expression history. We focus on sequencing and analyzing the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) genes of these cells to understand their BCR diversity and specificity. Additionally, we explore the relationship between B-1a cells and bone marrow IgM+ plasmablasts/plasma cells, aiming to shed light on the development and function of B-1a cells in the immune system.

BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells

Project description:Purpose: B-1a cells have a distinct BCR repertoire compared with that of B-2 cells. To examine whether CIC loss affects the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells, we analyzed mRNA sequences of immunoglobulin heavy (Igh) and light (Igk and Igl) chain genes in B-1a cells from 12-week-old control and Cicf/f;Cd19-Cre mice. Methods: Peritoneal cavity B-1a cells (IgM+, CD19+, CD5+, CD43+) were sorted by a MoFlo-XDP (Beckman Coulter). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagent (GeneAll), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Long Read iR-Profile Reagent System (iRepertoire) was used to generate NGS libraries covering BCR chains including Igh, Igk, and Igl. Briefly, nested inside and outside primers selectively amplified all V- and C- regions and incorporated communal adaptors. Following clean up, only target amplicons, which contain 5’ and 3’ communal adaptors, were exponentially amplified. Amplified libraries were multiplexed for sequencing on the Illumina Miseq platform. Sequence reads were de-multiplexed according to the barcode sequences. Results: Trimmed reads were mapped to germline V, D and J reference sequences downloaded from the IMGT database. IgH diversity and the usage of variable (V) segments in heavy (Ighv) chain and light (Igkv and Iglv) chain genes were comparable between control and Cic-null B-1a cells. Analysis of non-templated (N)-nucleotide addition at V(D)J junctions revealed that Cic-null B-1a cells have a higher proportion of zero to two N-nucleotides-containing-BCRs than control cells. Conclusions: Our study presents the first comparative BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells. We concluded that CIC deficiency does not dramatically alter the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells.

High throughput sequencing of immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy (IgH) and light (IgL) chain repertoires

Project description:We used 454 sequencing to assess the repertoire of B cell subsets from bone marrow, spleen, and small intestinal lamina propria from two mouse strains. We used a RAG2-GFP reporter mouse strain (129Sve background) to isolate CD19+ RAG2+ B lineage cells from bone marrow and small intestinal lamina propria and total splenic B cells. We used 5' RACE to amplify cDNA libraries using primers specific for the mu constant region of IgH and the Ig kappa constant region. We also used this technique to analyze total B cell libraries from Swiss Webster germ-free mice to compare to littermate controls that were cohoused with regular specific pathogen free (SPF) mice for 7 days. Examination of the Ig kappa repertoire and IgH repertoire in RAG2+ bone marrow B lineage cells compared to RAG2+ small intestinal lamina propria B lineage cells or total splenic B cells. There are 8 (Ig kappa) or 4 (IgH) independent experiments comparing repertoires in RAG2-GFP mice. Each experiment in RAG2-GFP+ mice consisted of a pool of 8-12 mice. There are 3 experiments comparing germ-free to colonized mouse total B cell repertoires, each consisting of one mouse per condition.

BCR heavy and light chain repertoire sequencing of pertitoneal cavity B-1a cells from wild-type and Igll1 knockout mice

Project description:We report that B-1a cells develop in a surrogate light chain independent context. As a consequence, the precursor B-1a cell population avoids a pre-BCR positive selection stage. To confirm that the B-1a cells generated in this manner repersent a bonafide B-1a cell compartment, we did NGS on BCR rearrangements to assess the repertoire diversity. We find that as a whoile, B-1a cell repertoire that develop in Igll1 kncokout mice are similar compared to wild-type. This supports our findings that B-1a cells develop properly in the absence of surrogate light chain.

Essential role of the transcription factor Bhlhe41 in regulating the self-renewal and BCR repertoire of B-1a cells

Project description:The innate-like B-1a cells provide a first line of defense against pathogens, and yet little is known about their transcriptional control. Here we identified an essential role of the transcription factor Bhlhe41, with a lesser contribution of Bhlhe40, in controlling late stages of B-1a cell differentiation. Bhlhe41/Bhlhe40 mutant B-1a cells were strongly reduced and had an abnormal cell-surface phenotype and altered B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire, as exemplified by loss of the phosphatidylcholine-specific Vh12/Vk4 BCR. Expression of a pre-rearranged Vh12/Vk4 BCR failed to rescue the mutant phenotype and revealed enhanced proliferation accompanied with increased cell death, implicating Bhlhe41 in controlling the self-renewal of B-1a cells. Bhlhe41 directly repressed the expression of cell cycle regulators and inhibitors of BCR signaling, while activating pro-survival cytokine signaling.

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.

The class-specific BCR tonic signal modulates lymphomagenesis in a transgenic model of c-myc transgene deregulation.

Project description:c-myc-3'RR mice developed Burkitt like lymphoma (IgM and IgD positive cells). We wished to study lymphomagenesis in mice carrying a modified B cell receptor with a higher level of tonic signal. The c-myc-3'RR transgene was introduced in a background with an IgH mutation that replaces IgM with IgA expression. Lymphoma arising in double mutant animals mostly carried the phenotype of activated cells, often expressing CD43, and in 10% of cases carrying a plasma cell phenotype. BCR tonic signal appears as a direct modulator of B cell malignancy phenotype.

Single Cell Immunophenotyping of Lyme Erythema Migrans (Bulk BCR Repertoire Sequencing)

Project description:Erythema migrans (EM) is a skin lesion caused by the spirochete B. burgdorferi (Bb) and is a hallmark initial sign of Lyme disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that T cells and innate immune cells mediate local inflammatory cytokine production that promote the reaction. Despite the established importance of B cells and antibodies in preventing Bb infection and resolving disease, the role of B cells in the skin immune response to Bb is incompletely defined. In this study, we characterized the immunophenotype of EM lesions and used single cell RNA-Seq to investigate B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires in the EM skin lesions and peripheral blood of patients with Lyme disease. We hypothesized that B cells from the circulation, potentially primed by exposure to Bb antigens in regional draining lymph nodes, are recruited into EM lesions and play an active role in the local response to infection. We found that B cells are more abundant in the EM lesion in comparison to autologous uninvolved skin and possess distinct characteristics, including abundant expression of MHCII genes and preferential IgM isotype usage. A subset exhibited low levels of somatic hypermutation despite a gene expression profile more consistent with memory than naïve B cell subsets. Moreover, infiltrating B cells were clonally expanded and a large fraction could be directly traced to circulating relatives. By leveraging single cell gene expression with paired BCR and TCR repertoire sequencing, we demonstrate, for the first time, that B cells are recruited to the skin infection site in early Lyme disease and express a phenotype suggesting that they could play a role in local antigen presentation and antibody production.
