Project description:Infection or vaccination leads to the development of germinal centers (GC) where B cells evolve high affinity antigen receptors, eventually producing antibody-forming plasma cells or memory B cells. Here we follow the migratory pathways of B cells emerging from germinal centers (BEM) and find that many BEM cells migrate into the lymph node subcapsular sinus (SCS) guided by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). From the SCS, BEM cells may exit the lymph node to enter distant tissues, while some BEM cells interact with and take up antigen from SCS macrophages, followed by CCL21-guided return towards the GC. Disruption of local CCL21 gradients inhibits the recycling of BEM cells and results in less efficient adaption to antigenic variation. Our findings thus suggest that the recycling of antigen variant-specific BEM cells and transport of antigen back to GC may support affinity maturation to antigenic drift.

Project description:Many normal tissues undergo age-related DNA methylation drift providing a quantitative measure of tissue age. However this drift has not been demonstrated in neoplastic tissues. Here we identify and validate 781 CpG-islands (CGIs) that undergo significant methylomic drift in normal colorectal tissues continue to drift in neoplasia and remain significantly correlated with one another across tissue samples. However compared with normal colon this drift advances (~3-4 fold) faster in neoplasia consistent with increased cell proliferation during neoplastic progression. Furthermore we show that the observed drift patterns are broadly consistent with modeled adenoma-carcinoma sojourn time distributions from colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence data. These results support the hypothesis that beginning with the founder premalignant cell cancer precursors frequently sojourn for decades before turning into cancer which implies that the founder cell typically arises early in life. We estimate that at least 77-89% of the observed drift variance in distal and rectal tumors is explained by stochastic variability associated with neoplastic progression while only 55% of the variance is explained for proximal tumors. However >50% of identified gene-CGI pairs in the proximal colon that undergo drift are significantly and mainly negatively correlated with cancer gene expression suggesting that methylomic drift participates in the clonal evolution of CRCs. Significance: Methylomic drift advances in colorectal neoplasia consistent with extended sojourn time distributions explaining a significant fraction of epigenetic heterogeneity in CRCs. Importantly the estimated long-duration premalignant sojourn times suggest that early dietary and lifestyle interventions may be more effective than later changes in reducing CRC incidence.

Project description:Affinity ligands such as antibodies are widely used in (bio)medical research for purifying proteins from complex biological samples. These ligands are generally immobilized onto solid supports which facilitate the separation of captured protein from sample matrix. Adsorptive microtiter plates are commonly used as solid supports prior to immunochemical detection (e.g. immunoassays) but hardly ever prior to LC-MS-based detection, and here we describe some applications, opportunities, and challenges of corresponding workflows.

Project description:Our analysis reveals an extensive methylomic drift between normal squamous esophagus and BE tissues in nonprogressed BE patients, with differential drift affecting 4024 (24%) of 16,984 normally hypomethylated cytosine-guanine dinucleotides (CpGs) occurring in CpG islands. The majority (63%) of islands that include drift CpGs are associated with gene promoter regions. Island CpGs that drift have stronger pairwise correlations than static islands, reflecting collective drift consistent with processive DNA methylation maintenance. Individual BE tissues are extremely heterogeneous in their distribution of methylomic drift and encompass unimodal low-drift to bimodal high-drift patterns, reflective of differences in BE tissue age. Further analysis of longitudinally collected biopsy samples from 20 BE patients confirm the time-dependent evolution of these drift patterns. Drift patterns in EAC are similar to those in BE, but frequently exhibit enhanced bimodality and advanced mode drift. To better understand the observed drift patterns, we developed a multicellular stochastic model at the CpG island level. Importantly, we find that nonlinear feedback in the model between mean island methylation and CpG methylation rates is able to explain the widely heterogeneous collective drift patterns. Using matched gene expression and DNA methylation data in EAC from TCGA and other publically available data, we also find that advanced methylomic drift is correlated with significant transcriptional repression of ~ 200 genes in important regulatory and developmental pathways, including several checkpoint and tumor suppressor-like genes. Taken together, our findings suggest that epigenetic drift evolution acts to significantly reduce the expression of developmental genes that may alter tissue characteristics and improve functional adaptation during BE and EAC progression.

Project description:To identify RNAs specifically associated with potential RBPs, yeast cells expressing TAP-tagged RBP or the wild-type strain BY4741 (mock control) were grown to mid-log phase in rich medium and harvested by centrifugation. RNA affinity isolations were essentially performed as described (Gerber et al. 2004 PLoS Biol.; see protocol). In brief, TAP-tagged protein were captured from cell extracts with IgG coupled agarose beads (Sigma) and released by incubation with a site-specific protease (AcTEV, Sigma). from the extract (input) and from the affinity isolates was purified with the RNeasy Mini/ Micro Kit (Qiagen). RNAs were reverse transcribed using a mixture of oligo-dT and random nonamer oligos in the presence of amino-allyl dUTP/dNTP mixture. cDNAs were fluorescently labeled and hybridized on yeast oligo microarrays over night at 42 degrees in formamide-based hybridization buffer. Antigenic peptide used in IP: TAP-tag An all pairs experiment design type is where all labeled extracts are compared to every other labeled extract.

Project description:RNA Polymerase II transcriptional recycling is an underappreciated mechanism for which the required factors and contributions to overall gene expression levels are poorly understood. We describe an in vitro methodology facilitating unbiased identification of novel RNA Pol II transcriptional recycling factors and quantitative measurement of transcriptional output from recycled transcriptional components. Proof-of-principle experiments identified PAF1 complex components among recycling factors and detected defective transcriptional output from RNA Pol II recycling following PAF1 depletion. Dynamic ChIP-seq confirmed in vivo PAF1 complex cycling through gene bodies with RNA Pol II and recycling back to the transcription start sites, while PAF1 silencing triggered defective RNA Pol II recycling. Prostate tumors exhibited enhanced transcriptional recycling, which was attenuated by antibody-based PAF1 depletion. These findings identify RNA Pol II recycling as a potential target in cancer and demonstrate the assay’s applicability to characterize RNA Pol II recycling in cells and tissues from other disease states.

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs), sites of antibody affinity maturation, are organized into dark (DZ) and light (LZ) zones. Here, we uncovered a B cell intrinsic role for STAT3 in GC DZ and LZ organization. Altered zonal organization of STAT3-deficient GCs dampened GC output of long-lived plasma cells (LL-PCs) but increased memory B cells (MBCs). Tfh-GC B cell interaction drive STAT3 tyrosine 705 and serine 727 phosphorylation in LZ B cells, facilitating their recycling into the DZ. An inducible system confirmed STAT3 is not involved in initiating or maintaining the GC but sustains GC zonal organization by regulating GC B cell recycling. RNAseq and ChIPseq analysis identified genes regulated by STAT3 that are critical for LZ cell recycling and transiting through the DZ proliferation and differentiation phases of the DZ. Thus, STAT3 signaling in B cells controls GC zone organization and recycling, and GC egress of LL-PCs, but negatively regulates MBC output.
