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.

Project description:The genomes of many vertebrates show a characteristic variation in GC content. To explain its origin and evolution mainly three mechanisms have been proposed, selection for GC content, mutation bias and GC-biased gene conversion. At present the mechanism of GC-biased gene conversion, i.e. short-scale, unidirectional exchanges between homologous chromosomes in the neighborhood of recombination-initiating double-strand breaks in favor for GC nucleotides, is the most widely accepted hypothesis. We here suggest that DNA methylation also plays an important role in the evolution of GC content in vertebrate genomes. To test this hypothesis we investigated one mammalian (human; GSE30340) and one avian (chicken) genome. We used bisulfite sequencing to generate a whole-genome methylation map of chicken sperm. Human processed data files (spermdonor1, #reads>=1) were downloaded from the NGSmethDB database (http://bioinfo2.ugr.es/NGSmethDB/database.php). Inclusion of these methylation maps into a model of GC content evolution provided significant support for the impact of DNA methylation on the local equilibrium GC content. Moreover, two different estimates of equilibrium GC content, one which neglects and one which incorporates the impact of DNA methylation and the concomitant CpG hypermutability, give estimates that differ about 15% in both genomes, arguing for a strong impact of DNA methylation on the evolution of GC content. Thus, our results put forward that previous estimates of equilibrium GC content, which neglect the hypermutability of CpG dinucleotides, need to be reevaluated. Genomic DNA from chicken mature sperm was isolated, bisulfite converted and sequenced on a Illumina HiSeq instrument

Project description:The better prognosis of patients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric carcinoma than those with EBV-negative GC is correlated with the degree of recruitment of inflammatory tumor infiltrating cells (TIL) to the vicinity of tumor cells. We hypothesized that the better prognosis would associate with less genetic or epigenetic alterations in EBV(+)GC, or EBV infection should deregulate immune modulator proteins, of which secretion recruit TIL. Therefore we performed mRNA expression profilings in EBV(-)GC and EBV(+)GC, each of which was pair wise compared with their normal control. We found that EBV(+)GC had much more molecular homogeneity with focused alterations in immune modulator genes; The Pearson correlation matrix analyses demonstrated that EBV(+)GC tumor showed remarkably high tumor homogeneity. While EBV(-)GC had considerable number genes that are differentially expressed genes from their normal counterparts, EBV(+)GC showed only a handful, almost 20 fold less number of DEG than EBV(-)GC under the same p value cutoff (p<0.001). Gene ontology and pathway analyses showed that while pathways of cation homeostasis, digestion and ion transport were commonly deregulated in both GC types, genes for chromatin assembly, prostaglandin receptor activity, pattern specification process are selectively deregulated in EBV(-)GC tumors. In contrast, pathways or genes for cytokine activity, immune response and lipoprotein particle clearance are selectively deregulated in EBV(+)GC tumors. These results demonstrate that EBV(+)GC inherently evolves to high homogeneity with fewer changes in gene expression and these secret immune modulatory chemokines could recruit reactive immune cells to EBV(+)GC, leading to favorable microenvironment for cancer suppression.

Project description:We analyzed transcriptome differences of antigen-specific pre-GC B cells. We transferred wildtype (CD4-Cre) or BCL6-insufficient (CD4-CrexBcl6fl/+) OT-II T cells into SAP-deficient mice and immunized these mice with NP-OVA. By day 3 post immunization, we sort-purified NP-binding B cells that were developing into GCs and conducted RNA-seq analyses of their transcriptome. NP+IgDlowB220+ pre-GC B cells from recipients of the same group were pooled to sort-purify 4 200-cell repeats. Using a gene expression signature induced by CD40 signaling in B cells for enrichment analysis, we found such CD40-induced gene set expression was significantly deprived in those NP-binding B cells helped by CD4-Cre´Bcl6fl/+ T cells. These data suggest BCL6 insufficiency in T cells leads to impaired CD40L signaling to B cells.

All patients underwent the surgery for advanced gastric carcinoma (GC) except one patient with early GC. The EBV-presence in the GC was verified by in situ EBV-encoded small RNA (ERER) staining.. The 14 paired EBV(-)GC patients and 12 paired EBV(+)GC patients were selected for this study. Tumor tissue (T)and normal tissues (N) from distant sites from tumor areas were dissected, frozen at -80C and were subjected to RNA purification, mRNA array profiling analyses.

Project description:Despite the importance of memory B cells for protection from recurrent infection, how these cells are selected during germinal center (GC) reactions remains unclear. We show here that light zone (LZ) GC B cells with lower affinity BCRs express a less CD40 signature and relatively high levels of Bach2, being prone to enter the memory B cell pool. We also find that Bach2 contributes to memory B cell generation in a Blimp-1 independent manner and that its higher expression confers on LZ GC cells a more advantage for entering the memory B cell compartment. Thus, our data support an instructive model in which weak T cell help keeps Bach2 expression relatively high, thereby being predisposed to enter the memory pool.
