B-cell-intrinsic DNase1L3 is essential for T-cell-independent type II response in mice

ABSTRACT: T-cell independent type II (TI-II) antigens, such as capsular polysaccharides, have multivalent epitope, which induce B cell activation, plasma cell differentiation and antibody production by strongly cross-linking B cell receptors. However, the mechanism of B cell activation by TI-II antigens remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that DNA endonuclease DNase1L3 (also termed DNase g) is required for the TI-II response. The production of antigen-specific antibodies was severely diminished in DNase1L3-deficient mice upon immunization with TI-II antigens, but not with TD antigens. Bone-marrow chimeric mice and B cell transfer experiments revealed that B-cell-intrinsic DNase1L3 was required for the TI-II response. DNase1L3-deficient B cells were defective in cell proliferation and plasma cell differentiation in the TI-II response in vivo as well as in vitro, which was not rescued by co-culture with DNase1L3-sufficient B cells in vitro, disproving an involvement of a secretory DNase1L3. In vitro stimulation with TI-II antigen transiently increased expression of DNase1L3 and its translocation into the nucleus. RNA-seq analysis of ex-vivo B cells having been responded to TI-II antigen in vivo revealed a marked reduction of Myc-target gene sets in DNase1L3-deficient B cells. Expression of IRF4, the gene of which is a target of Myc, was diminished in the ex-vivo DNase1L3-deficient B cells, in which forced expression of IRF4 restored the TI-II response in vivo. These data revealed an unexpected role of DNase1L3 in a missing link between B cell receptor signaling and B cell activation in the TI-II response, giving a valuable clue to molecularly dissect this response.

Transcription profiling of mouse T-dependent and T-independent germinal center B cells

Project description:Selection of B cells subjected to hypermutation in germinal centres (GC) during T-dependent (TD) antibody responses yields memory cells and long-lived plasma cells that produce high affinity antibodies biased to foreign antigens rather than self-antigens. GC also form in T-independent (TI) responses to polysaccharide antigens but failed selection results in GC involution and memory cells are not generated. To date there are no markers that allow phenotypic distinction of T-dependent and T-independent germinal centre B cells. We have now compared the global gene expression of GC B cells purified from mice immunized with either TD or TI antigens and identified eighty genes that are differentially expressed in TD GC. Experiment Overall Design: QMxB6 F1 mice were immunised with T-independent antigens (NP-Ficoll) or T-dependent antigens (NP-CGG). T-dependent responses were analysed in carrier primed mice and non-carrier primed mice. The kinetics in carrier primed mice are comparable to those of TI-2 antigens, and thus, both of these groups were analysed 4 days after immunization with soluble antigen. The response in non-carrier primed mice peaks later, and was therefore analysed on day 10 after immunization. Germinal centre B cells were MACS enriched and then FACS sorted according to GL-7 and B220 expression. Sorted B cells from the relevant mice were pooled (4-10 mice per sample). Each sample thus contains B cells from different mice, and the replicates are biological, not technical replicates.

Sontag2017 - Dynamic model of immune responses to antigen presentation by tumor or pathogen

Project description:This model of the immune system response to antigen presentation is based on the publication: Eduardo D.Sontag (2017) 'A Dynamic Model of Immune Responses to Antigen Presentation Predicts Different Regions of Tumor or Pathogen Elimination', Cell Systems, 4(2) DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2016.12.003 Comment: This model is based on the "toy model" as described by Equations 1A-1C from the manuscript and the system represented by Equation 2, which exhibits a type of incoherent feedforward loop (IFFL). Abstract: The immune system must discriminate between agents of disease and an organism’s healthy cells. While the identification of an antigen as self/non-self is critically important, the dynamic features of antigen presentation may also determine the immune system’s response. Here, we use a simple mathematical model of immune activation to explore the idea of antigen discrimination through dynamics. We propose that antigen presentation is coupled to two nodes, one regulatory and one effecting the immune response, through an incoherent feedforward loop and repressive feedback. This circuit would allow the immune system to effectively estimate the increase of antigens with respect to time, a key determinant of immune reactivity in vivo. Our model makes the prediction that tumors growing at specific rates evade the immune system despite the continuous presence of antigens indicating disease, a phenomenon closely related to clinically observed “two-zone tolerance.” Finally, we discuss a plausible biological instantiation of our circuit using combinations of regulatory and effector T cells.

Transcription profiling of mouse dendritic subsets in vivo

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) process and present self and foreign antigens to induce tolerance or immunity. In vitro models suggest that induction of immunity is controlled by regulating the presentation of antigen, but little is known about how DCs control antigen presentation in vivo. To examine antigen processing and presentation in vivo we specifically targeted antigens to the two major subsets of DCs using chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Unlike CD8+ DCs that express the cell surface protein CD205, CD8- DCs, which are positive for the 33D1 antigen, are specialized for presentation on MHC class II. This difference in antigen processing is intrinsic to the DC subsets and associated with increased expression of proteins associated with MHC processing. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes data from cell sort purified dendritic cells, B cells and CD4 and CD8 T cells. The genearray was performed to identify the transmembrane molecule recognized by the antibody 33D1. The antibody 33D1 binds specifically to CD8-CD11cHigh DCs in the spleen. Therfore the data set was reduced in this way that all molecules that are expressed either in CD8=CD11cHigh DCs, B cells and T cells were diminished of the CD8+CD11cHigh DC data set. This Genearray was also used to analyze MHC class I and MHC class II associated moelcules as the DC subsets differ in the antigen presentation. Each Series consists of 3 individuall samples

Control of nutrient uptake by IRF4 orchestrates innate immune memory - ChIP-seq

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes with adaptive immune features, including antigen-specificity, clonal expansion, and memory. As such, NK cells share many transcriptional and epigenetic programs with their adaptive CD8+ T cell siblings. Various signals ranging from antigen, co-stimulation, and proinflammatory cytokines are required for optimal NK cell responses in mice and humans during virus infection; however, the integration of these signals remains unclear. In this study, we identified the transcription factor IRF4 as a signal integrator to coordinate the NK cell response during viral infection. Loss of IRF4 was detrimental to the expansion and differentiation of virus-specific NK cells. This defect was partially attributed to the inability of IRF4-deficient NK cells to uptake nutrients required for survival and memory generation. Altogether, these data suggest IRF4 is a signal integrator that acts as a secondary metabolic checkpoint to orchestrate the adaptive response of NK cells during viral infection.

Double-negative B cells and DNASE1L3 colocalise with microbiota in gut-associated lymphoid tissue

Project description:Intestinal homeostasis is maintained by the response of gut-associated lymphoid tissue to bacteria transported across the follicle associated epithelium into the subepithelial dome. The initial response to antigens and how bacteria are handled is incompletely understood. By iterative application of spatial transcriptomics and multiplexed single-cell technologies, we identify that the double negative 2 subset of B cells, previously associated with autoimmune diseases, is present in the subepithelial dome in health. We show that in this location double negative 2 B cells interact with dendritic cells co-expressing the lupus autoantigens DNASE1L3 and C1q and microbicides. We observe that in humans, but not in mice, dendritic cells expressing DNASE1L3 are associated with sampled bacteria but not DNA derived from apoptotic cells. We propose that fundamental features of autoimmune diseases are microbiota-associated, interacting components of normal intestinal immunity.

In vivo microarray expression data from WT, Irf4-/- and checkpoint blockade treated Irf4-/- TEa CD4+ T cells

Project description:Previously we found that Irf4-deficient T cells were dysfunctional and unable to reject heart allografts and checkpoint blockade treatment could reinvigorate dysfunctional Irf4-deficient T cells and enable them reject heart allografts. But shortly after the reinvigoration those T cells went back to dysfunctional state. TCR-transgenic TEa CD4+ T cells (B6 background) recognize a Balb/c I-Eα allopeptide presented by B6 antigen presenting cells, and were used to assess the effects of immune checkpoint blockades on Irf4-deficient alloreactive T cells. WT, Irf4-/- and checkpoint blockade treated Irf4-/- TEa CD4+ T cells were isolated from Balb/c heart transplanted B6 mice, followed by microarray analysis. To define un-restored gene expressions in Irf4-deficient alloreactive T cells upon immune checkpoint blockades, we compared genes expression level among three groups. We revealed that checkpoint blockade restored the expression levels of the majority of wild-type T cell-expressed genes in Irf4-/- T cells, indicating the reinvigoration of Irf4-/- T cells. The remaining un-restored genes following checkpoint blockade, though minimal in number, may be responsible for the reinvigorated Irf4-/- T cells to become re-dysfunction.

IRF4, a master transcription factor, regulates genes involved in BCR signaling, antigen processing and presentation, and GC development [expression array]

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a master transcription factor required for the maturation of germinal center B cells that eventually develop into antibody secreting plasma cells and memory B cells. IRF4-deficient mice exhibit a profound reduction in serum immunoglobulin levels. In spite of wealth of the information relating to IRF4 and B cell biology, little is known about the intricate molecular details of the role of this transcription factor during B cell development. We therefore examined the genome-wide targets of IRF4 by ChIP-chip analysis in GC derived BL2 Burkittâs lymphoma cells. ChIP studies were further supplemented by whole genome expression analysis after shRNA-mediated knockdown of IRF4. Our study revealed that IRF4 regulates expression of genes important for a) BCR signaling b) antigen processing and presentation by MHC. In addition we found that IRF4 possibly in some way involved to regulate LTA, LTB and CXCR5 those involved in immune system development, particularly light zone development related genes such as FDC clustering regulating and IL21R and IL10 who are involved in B cell development.. On the other hand, IRF4 suppressesd genes in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Our findings illuminate hitherto unexplored roles of IRF4 in GC B cell development. BL2 Burkitt's lymphoma-derived B cells were infected with lentivirus expressing shRNA for IRF4 or control, and total RNA was subjected to Illumina BeadsExpression Arrays analysis.

Nuclease deficiencies alter plasma cell-free DNA methylationprofiles (mouse)

Project description:The effects of DNASE1L3 or DNASE1 deficiency on cfDNA methylation was explored in plasma of mice deficient in these nucleases and in DNASE1L3-deficient humans. Compared to wildtype cfDNA, cfDNA in Dnase1l3-deficient mice was significantly hypomethylated, while cfDNA in Dnase1-deficient mice was hypermethylated. The cfDNA hypomethylation in Dnase1l3-deficient mice was due to increased fragmentation and representation from open chromatin regions (OCRs) and CpG islands (CGIs). These findings were absent in Dnase1-deficient mice.
