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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Directed endocytosis mediates immune communication between an epithelial commensal microbe and the host

Project description:Commensal bacteria influence host physiology, including immune responses, without invading host tissues. We show that proteins from segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), which are immunomodulatory commensal microbes, are transferred into intestinal epithelial cells by adhesion-directed endocytosis that is distinct from the clathrin-dependent endocytosis of invasive pathogens. SFB transfer microbial cell wall-associated proteins, including an antigen that stimulates mucosal Th17 cell differentiation, into the cytosol of epithelial cells. Removal of CDC42 activity in vivo led to disruption of endocytosis induced by SFB, decreased epithelial antigen acquisition with consequent loss of immune modulation by SFB-specific CD4 T cells and mucosal Th17 cells. Our findings indicate direct communication between a resident gut microbe and the host and show that intestinal epithelial cells acquire antigens from commensal bacteria for generation of T-cell responses to the resident microbiota.

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.

Selective induction of homeostatic Th17 cells in the murine intestine by cholera toxin interacting with the microbiota

Project description:Th17 cells play a role as an inflammation mediator in a variety of autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and thus are widely considered to be pathogenic. However, Th17 cells are present in the normal intestine and show a homeostatic phenotype, i.e., they participate in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis rather than inducing inflammation. We observed an enlarged Th17 population in the small intestine of C57BL/6.IgA-/- mice compared to wild-type mice, which was further amplified with cholera toxin (CT) immunization without causing intestinal inflammation. The increased Th17 induction and the correspondingly 10-fold higher CTB-specific serum IgG response in C57BL/6.IgA-/- mice after CT immunization was microbiota dependent and was associated with increased segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) in the small intestine of C57BL/6.IgA-/- mice. Oral administration of vancomycin greatly dampened both CT immunogenicity and adjuvanticity, and the differential CT responses in IgA-/- and wild-type mice disappeared after intestinal microbiota equalization. Using gnotobiotic mouse models, we found that CT induction of homeostatic intestinal Th17 responses was supported not only by SFB but also by other commensal bacteria. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis using IL-17AhCD2 reporter mice revealed a similar gene expression profile in CT-induced intestinal Th17 cells and endogenous intestinal Th17 cells at homeostasis, with upregulated expressions of a panel of immune regulatory genes, which was distinctly different from the gene expression profile of pathogenic Th17 cells. Taken together, we identified a non-pathogenic signature of intestinal homeostatic Th17 cells, which are actively regulated by the commensal microbiota and can be selectively stimulated by CT.

Transcription profiling of mouse reveals induction of intestinal Th17 cells by segmented filamentous bacteria

Project description:The gastrointestinal tract of mammals is inhabited by hundreds of distinct species of commensal microorganisms that exist in a mutualistic relationship with the host. The process by which the commensal microbiota influence the host immune system is poorly understood. We show here that colonization of the small intestine of mice with a single commensal microbe, segmented filamentous bacterium (SFB), is sufficient to induce the appearance of CD4+ T helper cells that produce IL-17 and IL-22 (Th17 cells) in the lamina propria. SFB adhere tightly to the surface of epithelial cells in the terminal ileum of mice with Th17 cells but are absent from mice that have few Th17 cells. Colonization with SFB was correlated with increased expression of genes associated with inflammation, anti-microbial defenses, and tissue repair, and resulted in enhanced resistance to the intestinal pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Control of Th17 cell differentiation by SFB may thus establish a balance between optimal host defense preparedness and potentially damaging T cell responses. Manipulation of this commensal-regulated pathway may provide new opportunities for enhancing mucosal immunity and treating autoimmune disease. Experiment Overall Design: We compared the gene expression profiles in the terminal ileum of Swiss-Webster GF mice before and after colonization with SFB, which induced robust Th17 cell differentiation. To sieve out host effects, the role of other microbiota, as well as other factors, we also evaluated the transcriptional program induced in Jackson C57BL/6 mice after co-housing with Taconic B6 animals, which also induces Th17 cell differentiation. 0.5 cm of the most distal part of the small intestine was dissected. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol. RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays following the Affymetrix protocols. Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX10.

Krüppel-like factor 2 controls IgA plasma cell compartmentalization and IgA responses

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is a potent regulator of lymphocyte differentiation, activation and migration. However, its functional role in adaptive and humoral immunity remains elusive. Therefore, by using mice with a B cell-specific deletion of KLF2, we investigated plasma cell differentiation and antibody responses. We revealed that the deletion of KLF2 resulted in perturbed IgA plasma cell compartmentalization, characterized by the absence of IgA plasma cells in the bone marrow, their reductions in the spleen, the blood and the lamina propria of the colon and the small intestine, concomitant with their accumulation and retention in mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. Most intriguingly, secretory IgA in the intestinal lumen was almost absent, dimeric serum IgA was drastically reduced and antigen-specific IgA responses to soluble Salmonella flagellin were blunted in KLF2-deficient mice. Perturbance of IgA plasma cell localization was caused by deregulation of CCR9, Integrin chains αM, α4, β7, and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors. Hence, KLF2 not only orchestrates the localization of IgA plasma cells by fine-tuning chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules but also controls IgA responses to Salmonella flagellin.

Early Life Programming of Mesenteric Lymph Node Stromal Cell Identity by the Lymphotoxin Pathway Regulates Mucosal Immune Responses in the Adult (Stromal cells)

Project description:Redundant mechanisms support IgA responses to intestinal antigens. These include multiple priming sites (mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), Peyer's patches and isolated lymphoid follicles) and various cytokines that promote class switch to IgA, even in the absence of T cells. In spite of these back-up mechanisms, vaccination against enteric pathogens such as Rotavirus has limited success in some populations.Genetic and environmental signals experienced during early life are known to influence mucosal immunity, yet the mechanisms for how these exposures operate remain unclear. Here we used Rotavirus infection to follow antigen-specific IgA responses through time and in different gut compartments. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we tested the role of a pathway known to support IgA responses (Lymphotoxin - LT) at different developmental stages. We found that LT-beta receptor (LTβR) signalling in early life programs intestinal IgA responses in adulthood by affecting antibody class switch recombination to IgA and subsequent generation of IgA antibody-secreting cells within an intact MLN. In addition, early life LTβR signalling dictates the phenotype and function of MLN stromal cells in order to support IgA responses in the adult. Collectively, our studies uncover new mechanistic insights into how early life LTβR signalling impacts mucosal immune responses during adulthood.

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

Project description: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.

IkappaBzeta Controls IL-17-triggered Gene Expression Program in Intestinal Epithelial Cells that Prevents Expansion of SFB and Attenuates Autoimmune Disorders [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Control of gut microbes is crucial for not only local defense in the intestine but also proper systemic immune responses. Although intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) play important roles in cytokine-mediated control of enterobacteria, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we show that deletion of IkappaBzeta in IECs in mice leads to dysbiosis with marked expansion of segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), thereby enhancing Th17 cell development and exacerbating autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Mechanistically, the IkappaBzeta deficiency results in Paneth cell loss and impaired expression of IL-17-inducible genes involved in IgA production. The Paneth cell loss is caused by aberrant activation of IFN-gamma signaling and a failure of IL-17-mediated recovery from IFN-gamma-induced damage. Thus, the IL-17R–IkappaBzeta axis in IECs contributes to the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis by serving as a key component in a regulatory loop consisting of the gut microbiota and immune cells
