Mapping of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by selective chemical labeling (SCL-seq) in human naive B cells and in vitro differentiated plasmablasts (P1 cells) [HTS]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report the genome-wide mapping of 5hmC in naive B cells and in vitro differentiated plasmablasts (P1 cells). In addition, H3K4me1 and H3K27ac histne marks were mapped in in vitro differentiated plasmablasts from two healthy donors (BN358 and BN369) by ChIP-seq. Genomic DNA from human primary cells was extracted and submitted to the SCL protocol using the Hydroxymethyl Collector kit from Active Motif. After sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000, reads were mapped to the human hg19 genome. H3K4me1 and H3K27ac were mapped in in vitro differentiated plasmablasts (P1 cells) by ChIP-seq.
Project description:Plasma cells (PCs) as effectors of humoral immunity produce immunoglobulins to match pathogenic insult. However, emerging data suggests more diverse roles for PCs as regulators of immune and inflammatory responses via secretion of factors other than immunoglobulins. The extent to which such responses are pre-programmed in B-lineage cells or can be induced in PCs by the microenvironment is unknown. Here we dissect the impact of IFNs on the regulatory networks of human plasma cells. We show that core PC programs are unaffected, while PCs respond to IFNs with distinctive transcriptional responses. The ISG15-system emerges as a major transcriptional output induced in a sustained fashion by IFN-α in PCs and linked both to intracellular conjugation and ISG15 secretion. This leads to the identification of ISG15-secreting plasmablasts/PCs in patients with active SLE. Thus ISG15-secreting PCs represent a distinct pro-inflammatory PC subset providing an immunoglobulin-independent mechanism of PC action in human autoimmunity B-cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of three adult donors and differentiated in vitro (see individual samples for culture conditions)
Project description:The present project reports the quantitative proteome of different B-cell populations corresponding to the last steps of B-cell differentiation (i.e., naive (N), centroblast (CB), centrocytes (CC), memory cells (M), plasmablasts (PC).
Project description:We performed Ago HITS-CLIP to identify targets of viral and human miRNAs in latently KSHV-infected PEL cells Ago HITS-CLIP was performed in two latently infected PEL cell lines, BCBL-1 and BC-3; Argonaute-immunoprecipitation of UV cross-linked Ago-miRNA-mRNA complexes, followed by RNA isolation, library construction, and high-throughput sequencing (Illumina GAxII); we performed 3 biological replicates for each cell line, two technical (sequencing) replicates of BCBL-1 biological replicate 1
Project description:Multiple Myeloma primary myeloma cells of 131 patients, 10 human myeloma cell lines, bone marrow stromal cells of 5 myeloma patients, bone marrow CD3 cells of 5 myeloma patients, bone marrow CD14 cells of 5 myeloma patients, bone marrow CD15 cells of 5 myeloma patients, in vitro generated osteoclastic cells of 7 myeloma patients, 7 normal plasmablasts and 6 normal memory B cells.
Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying terminal differentiation of B-cells into plasma cells are major determinants of adaptive immunity but remain only partially understood. Here, we present the transcriptional and epigenomic landscapes of cell subsets arising from activation of human naive B-cells and differentiation into plasmablasts. Cell proliferation of activated B cells was linked to a slight decrease in DNA methylation levels but followed by a committal step in which an S-phase-synchronized differentiation switch was associated with an extensive DNA demethylation and local acquisition of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine at enhancers and genes related to plasma cell identity. Number of samples analyzed: 26 in vitro-derived human B cells, spanning 7 cell populations. No technical replicates.

Project description:The mammalian CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) regulates gene expression through the formation of higher order chromatin structures. Recent evidence has implicated a role for CTCF in regulating gene expression in the human MHCII locus. To investigate the role of CTCF in murine MHCII gene expression we mapped CTCF binding sites in B cells (MHCII+ cells) and Plasmablasts which are differentiated B cells that have silenced MHCII gene expression. These observations lead to the identification of differential CTCF binding during differentiation in these cell types and suggest mechanims of MHCII gene regulation.
