Tracking immunoglobulin gene editing and transcriptomic changes in GC B cells by single-cell analysis

ABSTRACT: In response to T cell-dependent antigens, mature B cells are stimulated to form germinal centers, which are the place of B cell affinity maturation and selection. Here, we dissected the heterogeneity of germinal center B cells and reconstructed their pathway of differentiation by integrating single-cell transcriptomic data with the information on immunoglobulin gene editing associated with somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination.

Bach2 regulates AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene conversion and somatic hypermutation in DT40 B cells

Project description:The transcription factor Bach2 is required for germinal center formation and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulins, both central to an efficient antibody-mediated immune response. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates SHM and CSR in germinal centers and has potential to induce human B cell lymphoma. To understand the role of Bach2 in AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene diversification processes, we established a Bach2-deficient DT40 B cell line. We show that in addition to allowing SHM, Bach2 drives immunoglobulin gene conversion (GCV), an important AID-dependent antibody gene diversification process. We demonstrate that Bach2 promotes GCV by increasing the expression of AID. Importantly, we found that the regulation of AID is independent of Blimp-1 and that Bach2-deficient cells have altered expression of several genes regulating AID expression, stability and function. These results demonstrate that Bach2 has a previously unappreciated role in the production of high-affinity antibodies.

Transcriptional profiles of normal human mature B cells

Project description:Mature B cells leave the bone marrow as naïve B cells and migrate to the secondary lymphoid organs where they encounter the antigen for the first time. This interaction stimulates B cells to rapidly grow and form characteristic histological structures called germinal center. In the germinal centers, B cells are targeted by mechanisms of genetic editing of the immunoglobulin loci, namely somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination, undergo selection for high affinity immunoglobulin receptors and are committed to differentiate into memory B cells or plasma cells. GCs display two histological areas the dark and the light zone that have been characterized as functionally distinct compartments through which B cells recycle multiple times during the germinal center reaction.

Proteome profiling of mouse germinal center B cells

Project description:Productive B cell responses are critical to protect a host from infection. The spleen and lymph nodes are populated by resting follicular B cells, which can enter germinal centers upon antigen encounter. Once in the germinal center, B cells migrate between the dark and light zones, where they undergo somatic hypermutation and selection, respectively. While germinal center B cells have been studied, an intense molecular understanding of these cells/subsets (and the differences between them) is lacking.

B cell Lymphomas present Immunoglobulin Neoantigens

Project description:Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and somatic hypermutation have the potential to create neoantigens in non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma. However, the presentation of these putative immunoglobulin neoantigens by B cell lymphomas has not been proven. We used MHC immunoprecipitation followed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to define antigens presented by follicular lymphomas (FL), chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphomas (MCL). We found presentation of the clonal immunoglobulin molecule, including neoantigens by both class I and class II MHC, though more commonly in class II MHC. To determine whether B cell activation could promote presentation of immunoglobulin neoantigens, we used a toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonists to upregulate expression of MHC-II. This resulted in enhanced class II MHC presentation of the immunoglobulin variable region including neoantigens. These findings demonstrate that immunoglobulin neoantigens are presented across most subtypes of B cell lymphomas. Activation of lymphoma cells to upregulate antigen presentation boosts presentation of immunoglobulin neoantigens and represents a strategy for augmenting lymphoma immunotherapies.

T cell dependent immune responses: B cell activation and differentiation Group1 Fo, Group2 GC1, Group3 GC2

Project description:Upon immunization with a T cell dependent antigen naive follicular B cells (Fo) are activated and a germinal center reaction is induced. Within the next 2 weeks large germinal centers develop where the process of affinity maturation takes place. To analyze the gene expression profile of resting and activated B cells, follicular B cells (Fo), B cells from early (GC1) and late germinal centers (GC2) were isolated and their gene expression profile compared.

Expression of Foxp3 by T follicular helper cells in end-stage germinal centers

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are the site of immunoglobulin somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation, processes essential to an effective antibody response. The formation of GCs has been studied in detail, but less is known about what leads to their regression and eventual termination, factors that ultimately limit the extent to which antibodies mature within a single reaction. We show that contraction of immunization-induced GCs is immediately preceded by an acute surge in GC-resident Foxp3+ T cells, attributed at least partly to upregulation of the transcription factor Foxp3 by T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Ectopic expression of Foxp3 in Tfh cells is sufficient to decrease GC size, implicating the natural upregulation of Foxp3 by Tfh cells as a potential regulator of GC lifetimes.

Lineage tracking reveals origins and relative affinities of antibodies produced by two subsets of memory B cells

Project description:Memory B cells comprise a heterogenous group of cells that differ in origin, and phenotype. During the early phases of the immune response, activated B cells can differentiate into IgM expressing memory cells, short-lived plasma cells or seed germinal centers (GCs). The memory compartment is subsequently enriched by B cells that have been through several rounds of division and selection in the GC. Here we report on the use of an unbiased lineage tracking approach to explore the origins and properties of memory B cell subsets in mice with an intact immune system. We find that activated B cells continue to differentiate into memory B cells throughout the immune response. When defined on the basis of their origins, the memory B cells originating from activated B cells or GCs differ in isotype and overall gene expression, somatic hypermutation, and in their affinity for antigen.
