Clonal structure and dynamics of human memory B cells and circulating plasmablasts

ABSTRACT: Using single cell sequencing of multi-year serial blood samples from two healthy donors we found that the memory B cell repertoire was dominated by large clonal families producing IgM, IgG2 and IgA, of which 0.2% share nearly identical VH/VL sequences in different individuals. In contrast, IgG1 families, including those encoding antibodies to T-dependent antigens, were of small size. Longitudinal samples collected over a period of several years showed the overall stability of the memory B cell pool in all its subsets. Surprisingly, clonotype stability was also found in serial samples of circulating plasma cells that largely overlapped with long-term memory B cells and contained recurrent clonotypes of IgA and IgG2 and, at lower frequency, IgG1 specific for recall antigens. Collectively, this study provides a global view of the structure, stability and dynamics of the human memory B cell pool and reveal that a large fraction of the clonal families is active at any time point in the generation of plasma cells involving both T independent and T dependent responses.

Transcriptome analysis of mouse IgG1 memory B cell subsets

Project description:IgE plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of allergies and its production is strongly regulated. A transient IgE germinal center phase and lack of IgE memory cells limit the generation of pathogenic IgE, but this can be overcome by sequential switching of IgG1 cells to IgE. We investigated which population of IgG1 cells can give rise to IgE-producing cells in memory responses. We identified three populations of IgG1 memory B cells (DP:CD73+CD80+, SP:CD73-CD80+, DN:CD73-CD80-) that generate IgE plasma cells of high or low affinity, but none gives rise to IgE germinal center cells or IgE memory cells. The two memory IgG1 populations differ however in their ability to differentiate into IgG1 plasma cells and germinal center cells, and to expand the IgG1 memory B cell pool. To explore the molecular mechanisms that may explain the distinct functions of IgG1 memory B cell subsets we compared their expression by transcriptome analysis using next generation sequencing.

Commensal microbes drive the generation of large numbers of bone marrow plasma cells

Project description:The mechanisms whereby enteric pathogens and microbes induce systemic antibody responses remain obscure. In contrast to accepted models, we show that commensal microbes have a dramatic impact on the bone marrow (BM) plasma cell pool. Unlike standard vendor mice, in mice reared in our colony the majority of long-lived BM plasma cells secreted IgA antibodies. Exposing vendor mice to a unique microflora or Helicobacter sp. led to the generation of IgA-secreting BM cells, while also inducing increases in serum IgA antibodies enriched for binding to several commensal bacterial taxa. Moreover, BM IgA-secreting plasma cells exhibited a common clonal ancestry with intestinal IgA+ plasma cells, and both populations possessed unique gene expression signatures compared to other long-lived BM plasma cells. We conclude that commensal microbes overtly influence the BM plasma cell pool, and suggest that select commensal microbes can facilitate the induction of systemic humoral immunity.

Expression data from IgE+ and IgG1+ B lymphocytes in mice infected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis

Project description:The mechanisms involved in the maintenance of memory IgE responses are poorly understood, and the role played by germinal center (GC) IgE cells in these memory responses is particularly unclear. IgE B-cell differentiation is characterized by a transient GC phase, a bias towards the plasma cell (PC) fate, and dependence on sequential switching for the production of high-affinity IgE. We show here that IgE GC B cells are unfit to undergo the conventional GC differentiation program due to impaired B-cell receptor function and increased apoptosis. IgE GC cells fail to populate the GC light zone and are unable to contribute to the memory and long-lived PC compartments. Furthermore, we demonstrate that direct and sequential switching are linked to distinct B-cell differentiation fates: direct switching generates IgE GC cells, whereas sequential switching gives rise to IgE plasma cells. We propose a comprehensive model for the generation and memory of IgE responses. The purpose of this analysis was to: 1) identify expression differences between IgE and IgG1 B lymphocytes, 2) identify GC Dark Zone (DZ) and Light Zone (LZ) signatures of IgG1 GC cells. For that purpose, we compared in one experiment the gene expression patterns of IgE germinal center (GC) cells, IgG1 GC cells, IgE plasma cells (PC), IgG1 PC and naïve cells. In a second experiment, we compared the expression of IgG1 DZ GC cells with that of IgG1 LZ GC cells. Triplicates obtained from independent sorting experiments were used for all samples except two (IgG1 PC=2 samples; IgE PC=4 samples). Each sample was obtained from a pool of three individual mice. The mice used in the experiment were CeGFP BALB/c mice infected with the parasite N. brasiliensis. CeGFP mice carry an IRES-GFP KI cassette in the 3'UTR of membrane IgE. In these mice, GFP expression marks IgE cells, and a population of IgG1 cells with a rearrangement to Cepsilon in the non-productive (VDJ negative) IgH chromosome.

Dissecting cross-reactivity in polyclonal IgG1 responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Project description:Using a mass spectrometry-based approach we monitored individual donors IgG1 clonal responses following a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We monitored the plasma clonal IgG1 profiles of 8 donors who had experienced an infection by either the wild type Wuhan Hu-1 virus or one of 3 VOCs (Alpha, Beta and Gamma). In these donors we charted the full plasma IgG1 repertoires as well as the IgG1 repertoires targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein trimer VOC antigens. The plasma of each donor contained numerous anti-Spike IgG1 antibodies, accounting for <0.1% up to almost 10% of all IgG1s. Some of these antibodies were observed to be VOC-specific whereas others did recognize multiple or even all VOCs. We show that in these polyclonal responses, each clone exhibits a distinct cross-reactivity and also distinct virus neutralization capacity. These observations support the need for a more personalized look at the pallet of antibody clonal responses to infectious diseases.

Gene expressions of memory B cells and other type of B cells

Project description:To obtain insight into the genetic basis of the increase of functional activity of memory B cells over time, we compared the gene expression profiles of day 7 and day 40 NP-specific/IgG1 memory B cells, GC B cells and plasma cells in immunized WT mice and naïve B cells, before and after activation in vitro. Total RNAs in three replicates of NP-specific/IgG1 memory B cells, GC B cells and plasma cells in immunized WT mice at day 7 and 40 postimmunization and naïve follicular and marginal zone B cells, before and after activation in vitro, were amplified and labeled according to the Affymetrix's instructions. cRNA was hybridized to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 GeneChips (Affymetrix).

CD23+IgG1+ memory B cells are poised to switch to pathogenic IgE production in food allergy

Project description:Food allergy is caused by allergen-specific IgE but little is known about the B cell memory of persistent responses. Here we describe in pediatric peanut allergy a population of CD23+IgG1 memory B cells that contains peanut-specific clones and generates IgE plasma cells on activation. Through single cell transcriptomics and B cell receptor (BCR) sequencing, we characterized FCER2/CD23+ IgG1 memory B cells co-expressing IL4R, IL13RA1, IGHE and carrying highly mutated BCRs. Further we found that peanut allergen (Ara h 2)-specific B cells were mostly IgG1 memory cells, carried highly mutated BCRs compared to diphtheria toxin-specific B cells, and expressed FCER2 and germlin IGHE. Our findings suggest that CD23+IgG1+ memory B cells transcribing IGHE are a unique memory population containing precursors for pathogenic IgE in food allergy.

Next generation sequencing of antibody heavy chain genes that bind to the hapten NP in sorted memory cells and long-lived plasma cells isolated from mice immunized orally with NP-CT

Project description:We report that there are differences in V gene usage in memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells after oral immunization. The hapten NP was conjugated to cholera toxin (CT) to create NP-CT, an antigen that is highly immunogenic after oral immunization. The NP hapten induces immune responses dominated by the 1-72 (VH186.2) heavy chain V region. The relationship between NP binding IgA antibody genes from memory B cells from spleen, MLN and Peyer´s patches and long-lived plasma cells from lamina propria and bone marrow that persisted 6-12 months after an oral immunization in three C57BL/6 mice with NP-CT was investigated. Extensive clonal overlap im clones was observed between long-lived memory cells from lamina propria and bone marrow, but very limited overlap was found between memory cells and plasma cells. The data suggest that memory and plasma cells formed through temporarily or anatomically separate processes.

Antigen-level resolution of commensal-specific B cell responses enabled by phage-display screening and B cell tetramers

Project description:Induction of adaptive immune responses to commensal microbes is critical for intestinal homeostasis, and perturbation of these responses is associated with multiple chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the induction and regulation of mucosal B cells targeting commensal microbes remain poorly understood, in part due to a lack of tools to identify commensal-specific B cells ex vivo. To address this, we first sought to identify immunodominant protein epitopes recognized by Segmented Filamentous Bacteria (SFB) specific serum antibodies using a whole-genome phage display screen and identified immunogenic proteins engaging IgA, IgG1 and IgG2b responses. Using these antigens, we generated B cell tetramers to identify and track SFB-specific B cell responses in the gut associated lymphoid tissue during natural and de novo colonization. We identified a compartmentalized response in B cell activation between Peyer’s patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, with a gradient of IgA, IgG1 and IgG2b isotypes along the small intestine, and selective production of IgG2b with the mesenteric lymph node chain. VDJ sequencing analyses and generation of SFB-specific monoclonal antibodies identified that somatic hypermutation drives affinity maturation to SFB derived antigens under homeostatic conditions. By combining phage display screening and B cell tetramer technologies, we now enable antigen-level based studies of immunity to intestinal microbes, which will advance our understanding of the ontogeny and function of commensal-specific B cell responses in tissue immunity, inflammation and repair.

Longitudinal characterization of circulating neutrophils uncovers phenotypes associated with severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Project description:Mechanisms of neutrophil involvement in severe COVID-19 remain incompletely understood. Here we collect longitudinal blood samples from 306 hospitalized COVID-19+ patients and 86 controls, and perform bulk RNA-sequencing of enriched neutrophils, plasma proteomics, and high-throughput antibody profiling to investigate relationships between neutrophil states and disease severity. We identify dynamic switches between 6 distinct neutrophil subtypes. At days 3 and 7 post-hospitalization, patients with severe disease display a granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like gene expression signature, while patients with resolving disease show a neutrophil progenitor-like signature. Humoral responses are identified as potential drivers of neutrophil effector functions, with elevated SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG1-to-IgA1 ratios in plasma of severe patients who survived. In vitro experiments confirm that while patient-derived IgG antibodies induce phagocytosis in healthy donor neutrophils, IgA antibodies predominantly induce neutrophil cell death. Overall, our study demonstrates a dysregulated myelopoietic response in severe COVID-19 and a potential role for IgA-dominant responses contributing to mortality.
