B-cell Differentiation is Regulated by Targeted DNA Hypomethylation [array]

ABSTRACT: B cells provide humoral immunity by differentiating into antibody secreting plasma cells. Differentiation is dependent upon division and transcriptional changes, with commitment to B cell lineages associated with epigenetic changes. Analysis of early transcriptional and epigenetic events in B cell differentiation revealed that plasmablasts and plasma cells undergo dynamic changes in gene expression and a progressive DNA hypomethylation targeted to at least 10% of genes/loci. Of the differentially methylated loci, more than 99.7% were demethylated during differentiation and these clustered in cis-regulatory features such as enhancers and transcription factor binding sites. Changes in gene expression and DNA methylation coincided with each other at specific divisions during differentiation and inhibition of DNA methylation resulted in augmented plasma cell commitment in a division-dependent manner. These data identify a major epigenetic reprogramming event during early B cell differentiation coupled division and provide an approach to modulating humoral immune responses. Splenic B cells (B220+ CD43-) from naïve C57/BL6J mice, and Day 3 LPS-induced Plasmablasts (B220mid CD138+) and Plasma Cells (B220low CD138+) were analyzed by Illumina Gene Expression Microarray and Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing

A CRISPR/Cas9-mediated screen identifies regulators of early plasma cell differentiation

Project description:The differentiation of B cells into antibody-secreting cells depends on cell division-coupled, epigenetic and other cellular processes that are incompletely understood. We have developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based screen that models an early stage of T cell-dependent plasma cell differentiation and measures B cell survival or proliferation versus the formation of CD138+ plasmablasts. Here, we refined and extended this screen to more than 500 candidate genes that are highly expressed in plasma cells. Among known genes whose deletion preferentially affected plasmablast formation were the transcriptional regulators Prdm1, Irf4 and Pou2af1, and the Ern1 gene encoding the ER stress sensor IRE1a. Moreover, we newly identified several genes involved in NF-kB or p38 signaling (Pim2, Nfkbia, Mapk14), vesicle trafficking (Arf4, Preb) and epigenetic regulators that form part of the NuRD complexes (Hdac1, Mta2, Mbd2). Defective plasmablast formation caused by Ern1 deletion could not be rescued by spliced XBP1 (XBP1s), a transcription factor dependent on and downstream of IRE1a, suggesting that in early plasma cell differentiation IRE1a acts independently of XBP1s. The deletion of ARF4, a small GTPase required for ER-to-Golgi transport, impaired plasmablast formation by blocking antibody secretion. Plasmablast formation after Hdac1 deletion was consistently reduced by about 50%, while deletion of the closely related Hdac2 gene had no effect. Hdac1 knock-out led to strongly perturbed protein expression of antagonistic transcription factors that specify plasma cell versus B cell identity (by decreasing IRF4 and BLIMP1 and increasing BACH2 and PAX5). Taken together, our results highlight specific and non-redundant roles for Ern1, Arf4 and Hdac1 in the early steps of plasma cell differentiation.

LSD1 regulates the plasmablast transcriptome

Project description:To understand the role of LSD1 in B cell differentiation, mice with B cell conditional deletion of LSD1 were intravenously inoculated with LPS. After 3 days, B220+GL7-CD138- naïve B cells and CD138+ plasmablasts were FACS-sorted from the spleens and RNA-seq was performed to identify LSD1-target regulated genes.

Transcriptomic analysis of in vitro induced germinal centre-like B cells and plasmablast differentiation

Project description:To elucidate molecular mechanisms that regulate the terminal differentiation of B cells into plasmablasts, we analysed how the B cell transcriptome changes during an in vitro culture system that mimics the germinal centre response (known as iGB culture). By culturing B cells on feeder cells expressing CD40L and B-cell activating factor BAFF in the presence of interleukin 4 and interleukin 21, this system allows class switch recombination to IgG1-producing cells and formation of CD138+ TACI+ B220low CD19int/low plasmablasts.

miR-148a controls metabolic programming and survival of mature CD19-negative plasma cells

Project description:Long-lived antibody-secreting plasma cells are essential to establish humoral memory against pathogens. While a plasma cell gene signature has been established, elaborate key regulators remain enigmatic.The plasma cell signature microRNA miR-148a favors in vitro differentiation of plasmablasts by repressing the germinal center transcription factor Bach2 and pro-apoptotic BIM and PTEN. To determine whether miR-148a fine-tunescontrols the in vivo development of B cells into long-lived plasma cells, we established mice with a genomic, conditional and inducible deletion of miR-148a. The analysis of miR-148a-deficient mice revealed reduced serum Ig, decreased numbers of newly formed plasmablasts and a reduced CD19-negative, CD93-positive long-lived plasma cells compartment. RNASeq and metabolic analysis showed an impaired glucose uptake and oxidative phosphorylation-based energy metabolism, altered abundance of homing receptors CXCR3 (increase) and CXCR4 (reduction) in miR-148a-deficient plasma cells. These findings establish the importance of miR-148a as a regulator of the differentiation and maintenance of late CD19-negative mature plasma cells by controlling their metabolism and retention in the bone marrow niche. clearly undermine our model of miR-148a as a regulator of the maintenance of long-lived plasma cells.
