Project description:Previous data have suggested that B-cell–depletion therapy may induce the settlement of autoreactive long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) in the spleen of patients with autoimmune cytopenia. To investigate this process, we used the AID-CreERT2-EYFP mouse model to follow PCs engaged in an immune response. Multiplex-PCR at the single-cell level revealed that only a small fraction of splenic PCs had a long-lived signature, whereas PCs present after anti-CD20 antibody treatment appeared more mature, similar to bone-marrow PCs. It suggested that, in addition to a process of selection, a maturation induced upon B-cell depletion drove PCs toward a long-lived program. We showed that BAFF and CD4+ T cells play a major role in PC survival niche, because combining anti-CD20 with anti-BAFF or anti-CD4 antibody greatly reduce the number of splenic PCs. Similar results were obtained in the lupus-prone NZB/W model. These different contributions of soluble and cellular components of the PC niche in the spleen demonstrate that the LLPC expression profile is not cell-intrinsic but largely depends on signals provided by the splenic microenvironment, implying that interfering with these components at the time of B cell depletion might improve the response rate in autoimmune cytopenia.

Project description:Splenic long-lived plasma cells (PCs) are abnormally numerous and deleterious in systemic autoimmune diseases, yet how they accumulate remains poorly understood. We demonstrate here that a pathological role of spleen-derived CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid cells (SPMCs) underpins the accumulation of splenic long-lived PCs in a lupus-prone model. SPMCs were a mixture of granulocytic and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that were expanded and acquired proinflammatory phenotypes in situ during lupus progression. By promoting the development of IFN--secreting and follicular helper T cells, SPMCs licensed CD4+ T cells to be pathologic activators of SPMCs and PCs. SPMCs also directly promoted the survival of PCs by providing B-cell activating factor of the TNF family. The frequency of SPMCs correlated with that of splenic long-lived PCs. Depletion of CD11b+Gr-1+ cells reduced autoantibody production. Thus, our findings suggest that SPMCs expanded in situ establish a positive feedback loop with CD4+ T cells, leading to accumulation of long-lived PCs which exacerbate lupus autoimmunity.

Project description:Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) of varying lifespans are generated through a germinal center response (GC). The developmental dynamics and genomic programs of antigen-specific plasma cell (PC) precursors remain to be elucidated. Using a model antigen, we demonstrate biphasic generation of BMPC precursors, with those generating long-lived PCs preferentially produced in late phase of GC response. Clonal tracing using scRNA-seq+BCR-seq in spleen and bone marrow compartments, coupled with adoptive transfer experiments, reveal a novel PC transition state that gives rise to functionally competent PC precursors, the latter undergo clonal expansion, dependent on inducible expression of TIGIT. We propose a model for the proliferation and programming of precursors of long-lived BMPCs, based on extended antigen encounters.

Project description:Long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) develop under the help of follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and reside mainly in the bone marrow. However, these cells are unusually abundant in the spleen of several autoimmune models including K/BxNsf mice, yet their pathogenic impact remains unknown. To investigate a previously unappreciated role of splenic LLPCs, we sorted splenic plasma cells (PCs) from K/BxNsf and K/BxN mice, corresponding to LLPCs and conventional short-lived PCs, respectively, and compared their transcriptomes. The B220+CD138+ fraction from K/BxNsf and their control K/BxN mice were sorted by FACSariaIII.

Project description:Disease-specific plasma cells (PCs) reactive with transglutaminase 2 (TG2) or deamidated gluten peptides (DGP) are abundant in celiac disease (CeD) gut lesions. Their contribution toward CeD pathogenesis is unclear. We assessed expression of markers associated with PC longevity in 15 untreated and 26 treated CeD patients in addition to 13 non-CeD controls, and performed RNA-sequencing with clonal inference and transcriptomic analysis of 3251 single PCs. We observed antigen-dependent V-gene selection and stereotypic antibodies. Generation of recombinant DGP-specific antibodies revealed a key role of a heavy-chain residue that displays polymorphism, suggesting that immunoglobulin gene polymorphisms may influence CeD-specific antibody responses. We identified transcriptional differences between CeD-specific vs non-disease-specific PCs and between short-lived vs long-lived PCs. The short-lived CD19+CD45+ phenotype dominated in untreated and short-term-treated CeD, in particular among disease-specific PCs but also in the general PC population. Thus, the disease lesion of untreated CeD is characterized by massive accumulation of short-lived PCs that are not only directed against disease-specific antigens.

Project description:Summary: Long-lived IgE plasma cells reside in the bone marrow of allergic mice and atopic humans, confer IgE serological memory and produce allergen-specific IgE that can drive anaphylaxis. Abstract: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays an important role in allergic diseases. Nevertheless, the source of IgE serological memory remains controversial. We re-examined the mechanism of serological memory in allergy using a dual-reporter system to track IgE plasma cells (PCs) in mice. Short-term allergen exposure resulted in the generation of IgE plasma cells that resided mainly in secondarylymphoid organs and produced IgE that was unable to degranulate mast cells. In contrast, chronic allergen exposure led to the generation of long-lived IgE plasma cells that were primarily derived from sequential class switching of IgG1, accumulated in the bone marrow (BM) and produced IgE capable of inducing anaphylaxis. Most importantly, IgE plasma cells were found in the BM of human allergic, but not non-allergic donors, and allergen-specific IgE produced by these cells was able to induce mast cell degranulation when transferred to mice. These data demonstrate that longlived IgE BMPCs arise during chronic allergen exposure and establish serological memory in both mice and humans.
