Project description:Summary: Long-lived IgE plasma cells reside in the bone marrow of allergic mice and atopic humans, confer IgE serological memory and produce allergen-specific IgE that can drive anaphylaxis. Abstract: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays an important role in allergic diseases. Nevertheless, the source of IgE serological memory remains controversial. We re-examined the mechanism of serological memory in allergy using a dual-reporter system to track IgE plasma cells (PCs) in mice. Short-term allergen exposure resulted in the generation of IgE plasma cells that resided mainly in secondarylymphoid organs and produced IgE that was unable to degranulate mast cells. In contrast, chronic allergen exposure led to the generation of long-lived IgE plasma cells that were primarily derived from sequential class switching of IgG1, accumulated in the bone marrow (BM) and produced IgE capable of inducing anaphylaxis. Most importantly, IgE plasma cells were found in the BM of human allergic, but not non-allergic donors, and allergen-specific IgE produced by these cells was able to induce mast cell degranulation when transferred to mice. These data demonstrate that longlived IgE BMPCs arise during chronic allergen exposure and establish serological memory in both mice and humans.

Project description:Allergen-specific IgE antibodies mediate allergic pathology in diseases such as allergic rhinitis and food allergy. Memory B cells (MBCs) contribute to circulating IgE by regenerating IgE-producing plasma cells upon allergen encounter. We report a population of type 2 polarized MBCs defined as CD23hi, IL-4Rαhi, CD32low at the transcriptional and surface protein levels.

Project description:IgE-producing memory cells are hard to detect in the periphery. Here, we sorted IgE+ memory B cells from allergic patients who had received allergen-immunotherapy for grass pollen. Cells were FACS-sorted and subseuqenlty sequenced by single cell RNAseq to determine isotype and phenotype. Two out of 90 cells were determiend to be true IgE producing memory B cells.

Project description:We report a rare population of IL-13-producing Tfh cells that were present with high-affinity IgE to allergens. These “Tfh13” cells have an unusual cytokine profile (IL-13hiIL-4hiIL-5hiIL-21lo), co-express BCL6 and GATA3 and were required for production of high- but not low-affinity IgE and accordingly, allergen-induced anaphylaxis.

Project description:Allergy is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In allergy, environmental allergens induce B cells to undergo class switch recombination and produce Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. IgE is a key molecule that mediates allergic responses by coating mast cell or basophil surfaces and inducing degranulation upon binding a specific allergen. IgE can also be spontaneously produced in the absence of exogenous allergens, yet the origin, regulation, and functions of such “natural” IgE still remains largely unknown. Here, we discovered that glucocorticoids, which are steroid stress hormones, enhance IgE isotype class switching in B cells both in vivo and ex vivo without antigenic challenge. Such IgE class switching is promoted by B cell-intrinsic glucocorticoid receptor signaling that reinforces CD40 signaling and synergizes with the IL-4/STAT6 pathway. In addition, we found that rare B cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes are responsible for the production of glucocorticoid-inducible IgE. Furthermore, we showed that locally produced glucocorticoids in the gut may induce natural IgE during perturbations of gut homeostasis such as dysbiosis. Notably, mice preemptively treated with glucocorticoids were protected from subsequent IgE-mediated pathogenic anaphylaxis in vivo. Together, our results suggest that glucocorticoids, classically considered to be broadly immunosuppressive, have a selective immunostimulatory role in B cells.

Project description:The delineation of the olive pollen proteome and its allergogram can improve the clinical management of patients with this pollinosis. We here integrated the recently described wild olive genomic data in a comprehensive proteomic approach to get the annotated olive (Olea europaea) pollen proteome and complete its complex allergogram. Olive pollen proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS using predicted protein sequences from its genome. GO annotation, KEGG Pathway analysis and identification of allergen families were performed by bioinformatics. Recombinant DNA, protein expression and purification, and immunological analyses were used to characterize putative allergens. A total of 1,907 proteins were identified. 60% of the proteins were predicted to possess catalytic activity and be involved in metabolic processes. 203 proteins belonging to 47 allergen families were found, with 37 non-previously described in olive pollen. Of four potential allergens produced in Escherichia coli, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase -cyclophilin-, masked in the protein extract by the major allergen Ole e 1, was found as a new olive pollen allergen (Ole e 15). 63% of the Ole e 15-sensitized patients were children and showed strong IgE recognition of the allergen. Ole e 15 shared high sequence identity with other plant, animal and fungal cyclophilins and a high IgE cross-reactivity with pollen, plant food and animal extracts. Taken together, the combination of available genomic data with proteomics permitted the profiling of the olive pollen proteome, revealing the spectrum of allergen families and cyclophilin as a new relevant allergen implicated in cross-reactivity.

Project description:Food allergy is caused by allergen-specific IgE but little is known about the B cell memory of persistent responses. Here we describe in pediatric peanut allergy a population of CD23+IgG1 memory B cells that contains peanut-specific clones and generates IgE plasma cells on activation. Through single cell transcriptomics and B cell receptor (BCR) sequencing, we characterized FCER2/CD23+ IgG1 memory B cells co-expressing IL4R, IL13RA1, IGHE and carrying highly mutated BCRs. Further we found that peanut allergen (Ara h 2)-specific B cells were mostly IgG1 memory cells, carried highly mutated BCRs compared to diphtheria toxin-specific B cells, and expressed FCER2 and germlin IGHE. Our findings suggest that CD23+IgG1+ memory B cells transcribing IGHE are a unique memory population containing precursors for pathogenic IgE in food allergy.

Project description:IgE-binding monocytes are a rare peripheral immune cell type involved in the allergic response through binding of IgE on their surface. IgE-binding monocytes are present in both healthy and allergic individuals. We performed RNA sequencing to ask how the function of IgE-binding monocytes differs in the context of allergy. Using a large animal model of allergy, equine Culicoides hypersensitivity, we compared the transcriptome of IgE-binding monocytes in allergic and non-allergic horses at two seasonal timepoints: (i) when allergic animals were clinical healthy, in the winter “Remission Phase”, and (ii) during chronic disease, in the summer “Clinical Phase”. Most transcriptional differences between allergic and non-allergic horses occurred only during the “Remission Phase”, suggesting principal differences in monocyte function even in the absence of allergen exposure. F13A1, a subunit of fibrinoligase, was significantly upregulated at both timepoints in allergic horses. This suggested a role for increased fibrin deposition in the coagulation cascade to promote allergic inflammation. IgE-binding monocytes also downregulated CCR10 expression in allergic horses during the “Clinical Phase”, suggesting a defect in maintenance of skin homeostasis, which further promotes allergic inflammation. Together, this transcriptional analysis provides valuable clues into the mechanisms used by IgE-binding monocytes in allergic individuals.
