Single cell sequencing data on ileum and mesentery tissue from Crohn's disease patients

ABSTRACT: B lymphocytes may facilitate chronic inflammation through antibody production or secretion of cytokines, including lymphotoxin (LT)-a and -b associated with development of lymphoid tissue. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) characterize human and murine ileitis by suppressing outflow from the ileum. Here, we unraveled disparate roles for B cells in chronic ileitis driven by the cytokine TNF. B cell-derived secretory IgA protected against ileal inflammation, whereas B cell-derived LTa guarded against ileitis-associated loss of body mass. This protection was not due to formation of TLS, as we initially hypothesized, because enhanced weight loss did not emerge when TLS were eliminated during ileitis due to B cell-selective deletion of LTb. Instead, weight loss driven by the cachectic cytokine TNF was exacerbated when LTa3, another ligand for TNF receptors, was selectively neutralized. Thus, B cells’ multi-faceted impact on ileitis includes generating secretory IgA, expressing LTa1b2 to drive formation of TLS, and producing LTa3 to protect against weight loss in the presence of TNF.

Single cell sequencing of the effects of blocking lymphotoxin alpha in the mesenteric lymph node and spleen

Project description:TNFDARE+/- mice develop TNF-driven transmural ileitis and mesenteric inflammation, and lose body mass, reminiscent of human Crohn’s disease. Here, we report that B cells regulate body mass and intestinal permeability during ileitis in a manner that is linked to lymphotoxin (LT)-a but not LTb, whereas B cell LTab2 promoted mesenteric TLS that suppressed lymphatic outflow. Using genetic approaches and neutralizing reagents, we connect LTa3, a ligand for TNFRs, expressed by activated follicular B cells to their appearance in draining lymph nodes and the generation or persistence of IgA+ ileal plasma cells. Some of the same B cells also expressed TNF. Opposite to LTa, expression of TNF by B cells was disadvantageous to the development of IgA+ ileal plasma cells, suggesting counterbalancing interplay between LTa3 and TNF in ileitis. These data highlight a multi-faceted role of B cells in ileitis that includes an unexpected role for B cell-derived LTa3 in the maintenance of body weight.

Secretory IgA binding to FCRL3 triggers shared inflammatory cytokine secretion by human regulatory T cells and effector T cells

Project description:Several human lymphocyte subsets express the novel secretory IgA receptor FCRL3. Secretory IgA binding to FCRL3 mAb diminishes the inhibitory capacity of regulatory T cells and promotes a Th17-like phenotype. Here we report that in CD4+ regulatory T cells and CD8+ terminal effector T cells secretory IgA induced a shared inflammatory gene signature that included PTGS2 encoding COX2, and the prototypic inflammatory cytokine genes IL1A, IL1B, and IL8. Secretory IgA in regulatory T cells also elevated gene transcripts required for lineage identity and function. Secretory IgA promoted IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF-α protein secretion by both T cell types. . We propose that secretory IgA provokes in regulatory and effector T cells a coordinated inflammatory response to facilitate mucosal pathogen clearance.

Tertiary lymphoid structures generate and propagate anti-tumor antibody-producing plasma cells in renal cell cancer

Project description:The presence of intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) is associated with positive clinical outcomes and responses to immunotherapy in cancer. Here, we used spatial transcriptomics to examine the nature of B cell responses within TLS in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). B cells were enriched in TLS, and therein, we could identify all B cell maturation stages toward plasma cell (PC) formation. B cell repertoire analysis revealed clonal diversification, selection, expansion in TLS, and the presence of fully mature clonotypes at distance. In TLS+ tumors, IgG- and IgA-producing PCs disseminated into the tumor beds along fibroblastic tracks. TLS+ tumors exhibited high frequencies of IgG-producing PCs and IgG-stained and apoptotic malignant cells, suggestive of anti-tumor effector activity. Therapeutic responses and progression-free survival correlated with IgG-stained tumor cells in RCC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Thus, intratumoral TLS sustains B cell maturation and antibody production that is associated with response to immunotherapy, potentially via direct anti-tumor effects.

Serum and Tear Autoantibodies from NOD and NOR Mice as Potential Diagnostic Indicators of Local and Systemic Inflammation in Sjögren's Disease [MCF_SSK_546]

Project description:Sjögren's Disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands (LG). The LG produces the protein-rich aqueous component of tears, and SjD-associated autoimmune dacryoadenitis (AD) may thus alter tear autoantibody composition. The presence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in LG from two murine models of SjD-associated AD, male non-obese diabetic (NOD) and male non-obese insulitis resistant (NOR) mice, were evaluated using immunofluorescence. IgG and IgA reactivity in serum and tears from these models were probed in three studies against a panel of 80-120 autoantigens using autoantibody microarrays relative to serum and tears from healthy male BALB/c mice. Sources of Ig in tears were investigated using scRNA-Seq of the LG (GSE132420). Data were analyzed by R package Limma and Seurat. Analysis of immunofluorescence in LG sections from both SjD models showed TLS. Only one autoantibody was significantly elevated in tears and serum in both SjD models across all studies. Three autoantibodies were significantly elevated in serum but not in tears in both SjD models across all studies. Conversely, six IgG and thirteen IgA autoantibodies (6 sharing the same autoantigen) were significantly elevated in tears but not serum in both SjD models. Igha and Ighg2b expressing cells were identified in the plasma cell cluster of NOD.H2b LG. NOD and NOR mice with SjD-associated AD have distinct autoantibody profiles in tears and serum. Tear IgA isotype autoantibodies showed a greater diversity than tear IgG autoantibodies. TLS observed in LG are a likely source of the tear autoantibodies.

Loss of Vascular Endothelial Notch Signaling Induces Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in the Kidney

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS are lymph node-like immune cell clusters that emerge during chronic inflammation in non-lymphoid organs like the kidney, but their origin remains not well understood. Here we show, using conditional deletion strategies of the canonical Notch signaling mediator Rbpj, that loss of endothelial Notch signaling in adult mice induces the spontaneous formation of bona fide TLS in the kidney, liver and lung, based on molecular, cellular and structural criteria. These TLS form in a stereotypical manner around parenchymal arteries, while secondary lymphoid structures remained largely unchanged. This effect is mediated by endothelium of blood vessels, but not lymphatics, since a lymphatic endothelial-specific targeting strategy did not result in TLS formation, and involves loss of arterial specification and concomitant acquisition of a high endothelial cell phenotype, as shown by transcriptional analysis of kidney endothelial cells. This indicates a so far unrecognized role for vascular endothelial cells and Notch signaling in TLS initiation.

Neutrophil extracellular traps melt Peyer’s patches following stroke and myocardial infarction

Project description:Sterile tissue injury after stroke causes lymphocyte contraction in lymphoid tissues and may decrease circulating IgA-levels. Intestinal Peyer’s patches (PP) harbor large numbers of IgA+ B cell precursors and plasma cells. Whether and how tissue injury triggers PP-B cell death, thereby mediating IgA-loss, is unknown. We found decreased circulating IgA levels in stroke and myocardial infarction patients. Experimental stroke and myocardial infarction in mice phenocopied the human situation. Decreased plasma and fecal IgA were accompanied by rapid and macroscopic shrinkage of PP caused by substantial losses of PP-resident IgA+ precursors and plasma cells in mice. Tissue injury induced neutrophil activation endowed with the release of toxic neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Antibody-mediated or genetically- induced neutrophil loss, digestion of NETs, or inhibition of their release by the Gasdermin D blockade completely prevented lymphocyte loss and PP shrinkage. We also identified NETs in the plasma of stroke and myocardial infarction patients. Hence, tissue injury induces systemic NET-release, which might be targeted to maintain immune homeostasis at mucosal barriers.

The activity of tertiary lymphoid structures in high grade serous ovarian cancer is governed by site, stroma, and cellular interactions

Project description:Most high grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) originate in the fallopian tube but spread to the ovary and peritoneal cavity, highlighting the need to understand antitumor immunity across HGSOC sites. Using spatial analyses, we discover that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within ovarian tumors are less developed compared with TLS in fallopian tube or omental tumors. We reveal transcriptional differences across a spectrum of lymphoid structures, demonstrating that immune cell activity increases when residing in more developed TLS and produce a prognostic, spatially derived TLS signature from HGSOC tumors. We interrogate TLS-adjacent stroma and assess how normal mesenchymal stem cells MSCs (nMSCs) may support B cell function and TLS, contrary to cancer-educated MSCs (CA-MSCs) which negate the prognostic benefit of our TLS signature, suggesting that pro-tumorigenic stroma could limit TLS formation.

Inhibition of LTβR-signalling blocks epithelial apoptosis and activates endogenous Wnt-induced regeneration

Project description:Lymphotoxin β-receptor-signalling orchestrates lymphoid neogenesis and subsequent tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) associated with severe chronic inflammatory diseases spanning multiple organ systems. How LTβR-signalling drives chronic tissue damage particularly in the lung, which mechanism(s) regulate this process, and whether LTβR-blockade might be of therapeutic value has remained unclear. Here we demonstrate increased lymphotoxin expression of LTbR-ligands on myeloid and adaptive and innate immune-cells, enhanced non-canonical NF-κB signalling and enrichment of LTβR-target gene expression in epithelial cells of lungs from patients and mice with smoking-associated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Accordingly, Therapeutic inhibition of LTβR-signalling in young and aged mice with COPD disrupted TLS, reverted lung tissue destruction, airway-fibrosis and systemic muscle wasting. Mechanistically, we identified that LTβR-signalling blockade leads to diminished cell-death, concomitantly reactivated endogenous Wnt/β-catenin-signalling in alveolar epithelial cells and reduced TGFβ-signalling in airways. These findings highlight LTβR as a viable therapeutic target against TLS induced tissue damage that translates into novel anti-inflammatory, regenerative strategies to treat COPD.
