Retro-orbital CD45 antibody labeling to evaluate antibody-secreting cell trafficking in mice.

ABSTRACT: Antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) are critical regulators of the humoral immune response. However, differences between tissue resident populations versus those that have recently migrated to their final anatomic destination are poorly understood. Here, we present a protocol for using retro-orbital (r.o.) CD45 antibody labeling to identify tissue resident versus recently immigrated ASCs in mice. We describe steps for r.o. injection of antibodies, animal euthanasia, and tissue harvesting. We then detail tissue processing, cell counting, and cell staining for flow cytometry analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Pioli et al. (2023).¹.

A CD45-targeted antibody-drug conjugate successfully conditions for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in mice.

Project description:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment of patients with nonmalignant or malignant blood disorders. Its success has been limited by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Current systemic nontargeted conditioning regimens mediate tissue injury and potentially incite and amplify GVHD, limiting the use of this potentially curative treatment beyond malignant disorders. Minimizing systemic nontargeted conditioning while achieving alloengraftment without global immune suppression is highly desirable. Antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs) targeting hematopoietic cells can specifically deplete host stem and immune cells and enable alloengraftment. We report an anti-mouse CD45-targeted-ADC (CD45-ADC) that facilitates stable murine multilineage donor cell engraftment. Conditioning with CD45-ADC (3 mg/kg) was effective as a single agent in both congenic and minor-mismatch transplant models resulting in full donor chimerism comparable to lethal total body irradiation (TBI). In an MHC-disparate allo-HSCT model, pretransplant CD45-ADC (3 mg/kg) combined with low-dose TBI (150 cGy) and a short course of costimulatory blockade with anti-CD40 ligand antibody enabled 89% of recipients to achieve stable alloengraftment (mean value: 72%). When CD45-ADC was combined with pretransplant TBI (50 cGy) and posttransplant rapamycin, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), or a JAK inhibitor, 90% to 100% of recipients achieved stable chimerism (mean: 77%, 59%, 78%, respectively). At a higher dose (5 mg/kg), CD45-ADC as a single agent was sufficient for rapid, high-level multilineage chimerism sustained through the 22 weeks observation period. Therefore, CD45-ADC has the potential utility to confer the benefit of fully myeloablative conditioning but with substantially reduced toxicity when given as a single agent or at lower doses in conjunction with reduced-intensity conditioning.

AAV9 transduction mediated by systemic delivery of vector via retro-orbital injection in newborn, neonatal and juvenile mice.

Project description:Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy is gaining popularity owing to its excellent safety profile and effective therapeutic outcomes in a number of diseases. Intravenous (IV) injection of AAV into the tail vein, facial vein and retro-orbital (RO) venous sinus have all been useful strategies to infuse the viral vector systemically. However, tail vein injection is technically challenging in juvenile mice, and injection at young ages (≤ postnatal day-(P)21) is essentially impossible. The temporal or facial vein is localized anterior to the ear bud and is markedly visible in the first couple of days postnatally. However, this method is age-dependent and requires a dissecting microscope. Retro-orbital injection (ROI), on the other hand, is suitable for all murine ages, including newborn and older mice, and is relatively less stressful to animals compared to tail vein injection. Although many reports have shown ROI as an effective route of AAV delivery, herein we aim to highlight and summarize the methods and benefits of ROI. To capture the full spectrum of transduction efficiency mediated by ROI, we transduced the editing-dependent reporter mice (Ai9 Cre reporter mice) with the AAV9 vector, which targets a wide range of peripheral tissues with exceptional brain tropism. We also provide a comprehensive description of the ROI technique to facilitate viral vector administration without complications.

Loss of Fancc Impairs Antibody-Secreting Cell Differentiation in Mice through Deregulating the Wnt Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA) is characterized by a progressive bone marrow failure and an increased incidence of cancer. FA patients have high susceptibility to immune-related complications such as infection and posttransplant graft-versus-host disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of FA deficiency in B cell function using the Fancc mouse model. Fancc(-/-) B cells show a specific defect in IgG2a switch and impaired Ab-secreting cell (ASC) differentiation. Global transcriptome analysis of naive B cells by mRNA sequencing demonstrates that FA deficiency deregulates a network of genes involved in immune function. Significantly, many genes implicated in Wnt signaling were aberrantly expressed in Fancc(-/-) B cells. Consistently, Fancc(-/-) B cells accumulate high levels of β-catenin under both resting and stimulated conditions, suggesting hyperactive Wnt signaling. Using an in vivo Wnt GFP reporter assay, we verified the upregulation of Wnt signaling as a potential mechanism responsible for the impaired Fancc(-/-) B cell differentiation. Furthermore, we showed that Wnt signaling inhibits ASC differentiation possibly through repression of Blimp1 and that Fancc(-/-) B cells are hypersensitive to Wnt activation during ASC differentiation. Our findings identify Wnt signaling as a physiological regulator of ASC differentiation and establish a role for the Wnt pathway in normal B cell function and FA immune deficiency.

An updated suite of viral vectors for in vivo calcium imaging using intracerebral and retro-orbital injections in male mice.

Project description:Genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators (GECIs) are widely used to measure neural activity. Here, we explore the use of systemically administered PHP.eB AAVs for brain-wide expression of GECIs and compare the expression properties to intracerebrally injected AAVs in male mice. We show that systemic administration is a promising strategy for imaging neural activity. Next, we establish the use of EE-RR- (soma) and RPL10a (Ribo) soma-targeting peptides with the latest jGCaMP and show that EE-RR-tagged jGCaMP8 gives rise to strong expression but limited soma-targeting. In contrast, Ribo-tagged jGCaMP8 lacks neuropil signal, but the expression rate is reduced. To combat this, we modified the linker region of the Ribo-tag (RiboL1-). RiboL1-jGCaMP8 expresses faster than Ribo-jGCaMP8 but remains too dim for reliable use with systemic virus administration. However, intracerebral injections of the RiboL1-tagged jGCaMP8 constructs provide strong Ca2+ signals devoid of neuropil contamination, with remarkable labeling density.

EZH2 Represses the B Cell Transcriptional Program and Regulates Antibody-Secreting Cell Metabolism and Antibody Production.

Project description:Epigenetic remodeling is required during B cell differentiation. However, little is known about the direct functions of epigenetic enzymes in Ab-secreting cells (ASC) in vivo. In this study, we examined ASC differentiation independent of T cell help and germinal center reactions using mice with inducible or B cell-specific deletions of Ezh2 Following stimulation with influenza virus or LPS, Ezh2-deficient ASC poorly proliferated and inappropriately maintained expression of inflammatory pathways, B cell-lineage transcription factors, and Blimp-1-repressed genes, leading to fewer and less functional ASC. In the absence of EZH2, genes that normally gained histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation were dysregulated and exhibited increased chromatin accessibility. Furthermore, EZH2 was also required for maximal Ab secretion by ASC, in part due to reduced mitochondrial respiration, impaired glucose metabolism, and poor expression of the unfolded-protein response pathway. Together, these data demonstrate that EZH2 is essential in facilitating epigenetic changes that regulate ASC fate, function, and metabolism.

Data on induction of brown/beige adipocytes in mouse retro-orbital adipose tissues.

Project description:The data presented here are related to the research article entitled "Inducible brown/beige adipocytes in retro-orbital adipose tissues" [1]. Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate stored energy through the generation of heat by using mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1), which is a mammalian brown/beige adipocyte-specific protein that promotes proton leakage across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Both cells up-regulate Ucp1 expression in response to β-adrenergic receptor activation such as cold exposure. Here, we provide data on induction of Ucp1 positive cells in retro-orbital white adipose tissues (WAT) from cold exposed both male and female mice. The fluctuation of eye surface temperature was monitored during the cold exposure. In addition, distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase positive bundles was observed in the retro-orbital WAT from the mice.

Early Reconstitution of Antibody Secreting Cells after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Project description:Immune cell reconstitution after stem cell transplantation is allocated over several stages. Whereas cells mediating innate immunity recover rapidly, adaptive immune cells, including T and B cells, recover slowly over several months. In this study we investigated kinetics and reconstitution of de novo B cell formation in patients receiving CD3 and CD19 depleted haploidentical stem cell transplantation with additional in vivo T cell depletion with monoclonal anti-CD3 antibody. This model enables a detailed in vivo evaluation of hierarchy and attribution of defined lymphocyte populations without skewing by mTOR- or NFAT-inhibitors. As expected CD3+ T cells and their subsets had delayed reconstitution (<100 cells/μL at day +90). Well defined CD19+ B lymphocytes of naïve and memory phenotype were detected at day +60. Remarkably, we observed a very early reconstitution of antibody-secreting cells (ASC) at day +14. These ASC carried the HLA-haplotype of the donor and secreted the isotypes IgM and IgA more prevalent than IgG. They correlated with a population of CD19- CD27- CD38low/+ CD138- cells. Of note, reconstitution of this ASC occurred without detectable circulating T cells and before increase of BAFF or other B cell stimulating factors. In summary, we describe a rapid reconstitution of peripheral blood ASC after CD3 and CD19 depleted haploidentical stem cell transplantation, far preceding detection of naïve and memory type B cells. Incidence before T cell reconstitution and spontaneous secretion of immunoglobulins allocate these early ASC to innate immunity, eventually maintaining natural antibody levels.

Antibody-secreting cell destiny emerges during the initial stages of B-cell activation.

Project description:Upon stimulation, B cells assume heterogeneous cell fates, with only a fraction differentiating into antibody-secreting cells (ASC). Here we investigate B cell fate programming and heterogeneity during ASC differentiation using T cell-independent models. We find that maximal ASC induction requires at least eight cell divisions in vivo, with BLIMP-1 being required for differentiation at division eight. Single cell RNA-sequencing of activated B cells and construction of differentiation trajectories reveal an early cell fate bifurcation. The ASC-destined branch requires induction of IRF4, MYC-target genes, and oxidative phosphorylation, with the loss of CD62L expression serving as a potential early marker of ASC fate commitment. Meanwhile, the non-ASC branch expresses an inflammatory signature, and maintains B cell fate programming. Finally, ASC can be further subseted based on their differential responses to ER-stress, indicating multiple development branch points. Our data thus define the cell division kinetics of B cell differentiation in vivo, and identify the molecular trajectories of B cell fate and ASC formation.

Functional dissection of the retrograde Shiga toxin trafficking inhibitor Retro-2.

Project description:The retrograde transport inhibitor Retro-2 has a protective effect on cells and in mice against Shiga-like toxins and ricin. Retro-2 causes toxin accumulation in early endosomes and relocalization of the Golgi SNARE protein syntaxin-5 to the endoplasmic reticulum. The molecular mechanisms by which this is achieved remain unknown. Here, we show that Retro-2 targets the endoplasmic reticulum exit site component Sec16A, affecting anterograde transport of syntaxin-5 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. The formation of canonical SNARE complexes involving syntaxin-5 is not affected in Retro-2-treated cells. By contrast, the interaction of syntaxin-5 with a newly discovered binding partner, the retrograde trafficking chaperone GPP130, is abolished, and we show that GPP130 must indeed bind to syntaxin-5 to drive Shiga toxin transport from the endosomes to the Golgi. We therefore identify Sec16A as a druggable target and provide evidence for a non-SNARE function for syntaxin-5 in interaction with GPP130.

IL-4 Predicts the Efficacy of a Candidate Antioxycodone Vaccine and Alters Vaccine-Specific Antibody-Secreting Cell Proliferation in Mice.

Project description:Opioid use disorders (OUDs) are a public health concern in the United States and worldwide. Current medications for OUDs may trigger side effects and are often heavily regulated. A novel treatment strategy to be used alone or in combination with existing medications is active immunization with antiopioid vaccines, which stimulate production of opioid-specific Abs that bind to the target drug and prevent its distribution to the brain. Although antiopioid vaccines have shown promising preclinical efficacy, prior clinical evaluations of vaccines targeting stimulants indicate that efficacy is limited to a subset of subjects who achieve optimal Ab responses. We have previously reported that depletion of IL-4 with a mAb increased opioid-specific IgG2a and total IgG, and it increased the number of germinal centers and germinal center T follicular helper cells in response to antiopioid vaccines via type I IL-4 signaling. The current study further investigates the mechanisms associated with IL-4-mediated increases in efficacy and whether IL-4 depletion affects specific processes involved in germinal center formation, including affinity maturation, class switching, and plasma cell differentiation in mice. Additionally, results demonstrate that preimmunization production of IL-4 after ex vivo whole blood stimulation predicted in vivo vaccine-induced Ab titers in outbred mice. Such mechanistic studies are critical for rational design of next-generation vaccine formulations, and they support the use of IL-4 as a predictive biomarker in ongoing OUD vaccine clinical studies.
