B cell receptor signaling in germinal centers prolongs survival and primes B cells for selection [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are sites of B cell clonal expansion, diversification, and antibody affinity selection. This process is limited and directed by T follicular helper cells that provide helper signals to B cells that endocytose, process, and present cognate antigens in proportion to their B cell receptor (BCR) affinity. Under this model, the BCR functions as an endocytic receptor for antigen capture. How signaling through the BCR contributes to selection is not well understood. To investigate the role of BCR signaling in GC selection, we developed a tracker for antigen binding and presentation and a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase drug-resistant-mutant mouse model. We showed that BCR signaling per se is necessary for the survival and priming of light zone B cells to receive T cell help. Our findings provide insight into how high-affinity antibodies are selected within GCs and are fundamental to our understanding of adaptive immunity and vaccine development.

Myc transcriptional bursts promote B cell positive selection by T cells in germinal centers

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.

The Ubiquitin Ligase Itch Skews Light Zone Selection in Germinal Centers

Project description:Ig diversification occurs in peripheral lymphoid organs after establishment of central tolerance during B cell development. In germinal centers (GCs), somatic hypermutation of Ig genes occurs in dark zones, followed by selection of mutated clones in light zones (LZs). This generates high-affinity Ig receptors to pathogens but can also produce autoreactive Ig receptors, which are removed by selection mechanisms that are incompletely understood. The ubiquitin ligase Itch prevents the emergence of autoimmune disease and autoantibodies in humans and mice, and patients lacking Itch develop potentially fatal autoimmune diseases; yet, how Itch regulates GC B cells is not well understood. By studying Itch-deficient mice, we have recently shown that Itch directly limits the magnitude of GC responses. Proteomic profiling of GC B cells uncovered that Itch-deficient cells exhibit high mTORC1 and Myc activity, hallmarks of positive selection. Bone marrow chimera and adoptive transfer experiments revealed that B cell Itch restricts noncycling LZ cells. These results support, t our knowledge, a novel role for Itch in skewing selection of GC B cells to restrict LZ accumulation and shape GC-derived humoral immunity. Determining how B cells integrate cues within GCs to navigate through LZs and dark zones will aid in understanding how autoreactive clones emerge from GCs in people with autoimmune disease.
