Project description:Analysis of the gene expression profile between MYC positive and MYC negative germinal center B-cells. Total RNA isolated from MYC positive and MYC negative GC B-cells, isolated by FACS from 10 day sheep red blood cell immunized mice MycEGFP (a Myc reporter allele, in which a MYC-EGFP fusion protein (MYCEGFP) is expressed from the endogenous Myc locus, Huan, CY et al Eur J Immunol 2008)

Project description:Splenic germinal center B cells (B220pos, CD19pos, CD38 low, FAS high) were isolated from animals 10 days sheep red blood cell immunised animals using flow cytometry cell sorter. Animals carry a combination of alleles that allows germinal center B cell deletion of endogenous Myc allele and simultaneous conditional overexpression of human MYC in its wild-type for or mutant form in which a valine in residue 394 has been substituted by an aspartic acid.

Project description:We used RNA sequencing to characterize gene expression of Ly75+/+ B1-8hi and Ly75-/- B1-8hi B cells from the germinal center light zone (LZ) 12 h after forcing positive selection of the Ly75+/+ population with anti-DEC205-OVA.

Project description:Productive B cell responses are critical to protect a host from infection. The spleen and lymph nodes are populated by resting follicular B cells, which can enter germinal centers upon antigen encounter. Once in the germinal center, B cells migrate between the dark and light zones, where they undergo somatic hypermutation and selection, respectively. While germinal center B cells have been studied, an intense molecular understanding of these cells/subsets (and the differences between them) is lacking.

Project description:Germinal centers (GC) arise within B cell follicles upon antigenic challenge. In the dark zones (DZ) of GCs, B cells proliferate and hypermutate their immunoglobulin genes, and mutants with increased affinity are positively selected in the light zone (LZ) to either differentiate into plasma and memory cells, or re-enter the DZ for further refinement. However, the molecular circuits governing GC positive selection are not known. Here, we show that the GC reaction requires the biphasic regulation of c-MYC expression, involving its transient induction during early GC commitment, its repression by BCL6 in DZ B cells, and its re-induction in a subpopulation of positively selected LZ B cells destined to DZ re-entry. Accordingly, acute disruption of MYC function in vivo leads to GC collapse, indicating an essential role in GC physiology. These results have implications for our understanding of GC selection and the role of MYC deregulation in B cell lymphomas. We used microarrays to determine the global gene expression programs that distinguish MYC+ GC B cells from their MYC- negative counterparts.

We used microarrays to determine the global gene expression programs that distinguish MYC+ GC B cells from their MYC- negative counterparts. GFPMYC+ and GFPMYC- GC B cell subpopulations were collected by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) from B cell enriched fractions of splenic mononuclear cell pools of GFPMYC knock-in mice (12 days after SRBC immunization). 5-20ng of total RNA (RIN>9) for each sample was used as a template for linear cDNA amplification (Ovation RNA amplification Kit, NuGen). cDNA was labeled using the Encore Biotin Labeling Kit (NuGen) and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 gene expression arrays.

Project description:High affinity B cell selection in the germinal center (GC) is governed by signals delivered by follicular helper T cells (Tfh) to B cells. Selected B cells undergo clonal expansion and affinity maturation in the GC dark zone in direct proportion to the amount of antigen they capture and present to Tfh cells in the light zone. Here we examined the mechanisms whereby Tfh cells program the number of GC B cell divisions. Gene expression analysis revealed that Tfh induce MYC expression in light zone B cells in direct proportion to antigen capture. Conditional Myc haplo-insufficiency or over-expression combined with cell division tracking showed that MYC expression produces a metabolic reservoir in selected light zone B cells that is proportional to the number of cell divisions in the dark zone. Thus, MYC constitutes the germinal center B cell division timer that when deregulated leads to emergence of B cell lymphoma.

Project description:Antibody affinity maturation occurs in secondary lymphoid organs within germinal centers (GCs) where B cells mutate their antibody-encoding genes in the dark zone (DZ) followed by a selection of the high-affinity variants in the light zone (LZ) by T cells. The amount of the T cell-derived selection signals is proportional to the BCR affinity and the magnitude of Myc expression. However, since the lifetimes of Myc mRNA and protein are extremely short, it is unclear how high levels of Myc are maintained in the GC B cell to allow positive selection. Here, by measuring Myc transcripts in situ at the single-cell level, we find that T cell help promotes the frequency of Myc transcriptional bursts. T cell help primarily increases the number of Myc-positive cells rather than the amount of Myc per cell. Measurement of Myc intronic and exonic transcripts in situ demonstrates that positive selection is mediated by Myc transcriptional bursts through a rapid increase in the active transcription sites rather than an elevation in transcription rate or gene accessibility. Thus, the amount of Myc transcriptional bursts over time in the LZ, rather than Myc abundance, dictates B cell selection in germinal centers.
