B Cell-Intrinsic Type I Interferon Signaling Contributes to Defective Vaccine [VDJ]

ABSTRACT: Affinity maturation and vaccine efficacy are compromised during chronic viral infections, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using the LCMV Cl13 model, we show that IFN-I signaling in B cells plays a central role. IFN-I promotes early B cell activation but reduces clonal diversity and delays IgG1⁺ B cell entry into germinal centers, impairing high-affinity clone selection. Deletion of IFNAR1 in B cells partially restores NP-specific IGHV1-72 usage and GC access but fails to fully rescue affinity maturation, suggesting a contribution of extrinsic factors. Somatic hypermutation remains elevated in both genotypes, though slightly reduced in IFNAR1⁻/⁻ B cells. BASELINe analysis indicates weaker selection pressure in CDRs, potentially reflecting impaired affinity-based selection. This defect correlates with a reduced TFR/TFH ratio. Our results show that intrinsic and extrinsic IFN-I-dependent mechanisms synergize to disrupt B cell fate. These findings establish IFN-I as a key regulator of humoral immunity and highlight mechanisms underlying poor vaccine response.

Germline-Encoded Affinity for Cognate Antigen Enables Vaccine Amplification of a Human Broadly Neutralizing Response Against Influenza Virus

Project description:Antibodies display antigen-binding loops comprised of a hypervariable CDRH3 and V gene-encoded CDRs, where the latter may harbor gene-endowed or ‘public’ targeting solutions. To test this, we generated transgenic mice containing human CDRH3 diversity but simultaneously constrained to individual human immunoglobulin VH genes, including IGHV1-69, which shows biased usage in human broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting the hemagglutinin stalk of Group 1 influenza A viruses. We then rank-ordered the VH-contribution to bnAb-epitope targeting following exposure to viral and nanoparticle displays of hemagglutinin. Notably, sequential immunization with a stalk-only hemagglutinin nanoparticle elicited Group 1 bnAbs, but only in IGHV1-69 constrained mice. This response required minimal affinity maturation, could be elicited under pre-existing influenza immunity, and when IGHV1-69 B cells were diluted to match the frequency measured in humans. Thus, encoded CDRs can naturally endow for specific antibody targets, and a rationally designed immunogen may elicit human influenza bnAbs through this principle.

IFNAR1 Signaling in NK Cells Promotes Persistent Virus Infection

Project description:Inhibition of IFN-I signaling promotes the control of persistent virus infection, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we report that genetic ablation of IFNAR1 specifically in NK cells led to elevated numbers of T follicular helper cells, germinal center B cells, and plasma cells, resulting in hastened virus clearance comparable to IFNAR1 blockade by an IFNAR1 neutralizing antibody. Antigen-specific B cells and antiviral antibodies were essential for the accelerated control of LCMV Cl13 infection following IFNAR1 blockade. IFNAR1 signaling in NK cells promoted NK cell maturation, function, and killing of antigenspecific CD4 and CD8 T cells. Therefore, Inhibition of IFN I signaling in NK cells enhances CD4 and CD8 T cell responses, elevates humoral immune response, and thereby facilitates the control of persistent virus infection.

Flavivirus antagonism of type I interferon signaling reveals prolidase as a regulator of IFNAR1 trafficking and expression

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN-I) signals through two receptor subunits, IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, to regulate sterile and infectious immunity. IFNAR1 expression is tightly regulated to prevent autoimmunity although the mechanisms governing this are incompletely understood. We investigated the strategies used by two flaviviruses, tick-borne encephalitis virus and West Nile virus, to antagonize IFN-I signaling. Infection with these viruses resulted in depletion of IFNAR1 associated with the function of the viral IFN-I antagonist, NS5. NS5 function was dependent on its ability to associate with prolidase (PEPD), a cellular dipeptidase. PEPD was required for IFNAR1 maturation and accumulation, as well as gene induction following IFNAR1 stimulation. The relevance of PEPD to human biology was confirmed in fibroblasts derived from patients with genetic prolidase deficiency that expressed low IFNAR1 and exhibited reduced responses to IFNAR1. Thus, by understanding flavivirus IFN-I antagonism, PEPD is revealed as a central regulator of IFN-I responses in humans. RNA was isolated from replicates of 4 cultured dermal fibroblast lines derived from patients with genetic prolidase deficiency (PEPD), as well as from 4 cultured dermal fibroblast lines derived from normal healthy donors. These were run on Agilent microarrays to compare differences in gene expression observed in PEPD fibroblasts compared with normal fibroblasts.

B cell-intrinsic IFN-g promotes CD11c+ age-associated B cell differentiation and compromises affinity-based germinal center selection in lupus

Project description:Lupus patients respond less efficiently to vaccinations and are more susceptible to infections. Previously, we have shown, in lupus models, that excessive CD11c+ age-associated B cells (ABCs) not only contribute to autoantibody production but also compromise antigen-specific germinal center (GC) B cell selection and affinity maturation by promoting aberrant T cell activation. Yet, how CD11c+ ABC differentiation is regulated is not fully understood. Here we show that B cell-intrinsic IFN-γ is required for excessive CD11c+ ABC differentiation in lupus mice. B cell-intrinsic IFN-γ is mainly produced by CD11c+ ABCs. IFN-γ-deficiency leads to decreased expression of ABC characteristic genes, including Zeb2, an ABC-specific transcription factor recently described. We further show that ablating IFN-γ can normalize T cell overactivation and rescue antigen-specific GC responses in lupus mice. Our study offers insight into the crucial role of B cell-intrinsic IFN-γ in promoting CD11c+ ABC differentiation and compromising affinity-based germinal center selection and affinity maturation in lupus, providing a potential target for lupus treatment.

A single human VH gene endows for a broad-spectrum antibody response targeting bacterial lipopolysaccharides in the blood

Project description:B cell receptors (BCRs) display a combination of variable (V) gene-encoded complementarity determining regions (CDRs) and adaptive/hypervariable CDR3 loops to engage antigens. It has long been proposed that the former naturally tune for recognition of pathogens or groups of pathogens. To mechanistically evaluate this within the human antibody repertoire, we performed immune challenges in transgenic mice bearing diverse human CDR3 and light chains, but were constrained to different human VH genes. We found that out of six commonly deployed VH sequences, only those CDRs encoded by IGHV1-2*02 enabled polyclonal antibody responses against bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) when introduced to the bloodstream. LPS was prepared from diverse strains of gram-negative bacteria, and the VH gene-dependent responses were directed against the non-variable and universal saccrolipid substructure of this antigen. This reveals a broad-spectrum anti-LPS response in which germline-encoded CDRs naturally hardwire the human antibody repertoire for recognition of a conserved microbial target.

Proximal proteins of the type I interferon signaling cascade

Project description:Deciphering the intricate dynamic events governing type I interferon (IFN) signaling is critical to unravel key regulatory mechanisms in host antiviral defense. Here, we leveraged TurboID-based proximity labeling coupled with affinity purification-mass spectrometry to comprehensively map temporal changes to the proximal human proteomes of all seven canonical type I IFN signaling cascade members following IFN stimulation. This established a network of 108 proteins in close proximity to the core members IFNAR1, IFNAR2, JAK1, TYK2, STAT1, STAT2, and IRF9, and validated several known protein assemblies, while also revealing novel, transient associations between key signaling molecules.

Transcriptional profiling of mouse germinal center B cells (B220+, GL7+, CD95+) isolated from GC-specific (Cg1-Cre) DAF-TM transgenic or control mice

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) support diversification and affinity maturation of antibody repertoires through iterative cycles of T-cell-dependent positive selection, B cell clonal expansion and antigen-receptor hypermutation. Positive selection is critical for efficient affinity maturation and depends on only partially understood signaling processes. We show that BCL6-dependent physiological repression of decay accelerating factor (DAF/CD55) on GC B cells is critical for effective positive selection and affinity maturation during GC responses. Absence of DAF on GC B cells lifts restraint on local complement activation, yielding autocrine C3a/C5a-receptor signaling that is indispensable for CD40-dependent mTOR pathway activation during positive selection. Genetic disruption of this pathway causes premature GC collapse and impairs affinity maturation. These results identify previously undiscerned targets to therapeutically manipulate protective and potentially injurious humoral immune responses.

Structural basis of a novel Interferon b signaling axis mediated via the ifnar1 receptor

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines that play an important role in regulating immune responses to pathogens and tumors and are used therapeutically. All IFNs are considered to signal via the heterodimeric IFNAR1-IFNAR2 complex, yet some subtypes such as IFN? can exhibit distinct functional properties, although the molecular basis of this is unclear. Here we demonstrate IFN uniquely and specifically ligates to IFNAR1 in an IFNAR2-independent manner and provide the structural basis of the IFNAR1-IFN interaction. We show that the IFNAR1-IFN complex transduces signals to modulate the expression of a set of genes independently of IFNAR2. Moreover, we show the in vivo importance of the IFNAR1-IFN signaling axis in a murine model of LPS-induced septic shock. Thus, we provide a molecular basis for understanding specific functions of IFN?. Interferon b induced gene expression in peritoneal exudate cells was measured 3hr post intra-peritoneal injection of 10,000IU/ml of interferon beta or saline into wildtype and Ifnar2-/- mice. Three independant experiments were performed for each treatment in both genotypes using different mice for each sample.
