Sjögren’s syndrome patients shares stereotypic B cell receptor clonotypes including homologous rheumatoid factor clonotypes present in more than a half of the patients

ABSTRACT: Autoantibodies play a key role in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) pathogenesis but its B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire has not been studied thoroughly. We analyzed peripheral blood BCR repertoire of twenty SS patients. It showed increased class switch recombination, elevated clonality, skewed usage of IGHV and IGHJ genes and its recombination pairing. Stereotypic BCR clonotypes were significantly more frequent, dominated by IgA2 isotype and showed increased somatic hypermutation. The most prevalent stereotypic clonotype specific to SS patients was shared by seven patients. And five very homologous clonotypes were present in seven other patients. All these clonotypes were proved to be rheumatoid factor.

Fecal microbiota transfer from autoimmune dry eye disease model mice to conventional mice induces ocular surface inflammation and stereotypic B cell receptor repertoire development in lacrimal gland

Project description:In this study, we transferred gut microbiota of SS-like autoimmune dry eye disease model mice to conventional B6 mice (NOD-FMT). After the transfer, NOD-FMT mice experienced a dramatic change in the gut microbiomes and showed clinicopathological features of SS, including increased corneal fluorescein staining score, decreased tear production, elevated levels of IL-6 mRNA, decreased levels of MUC5AC mRNA encoding mucin. Additionally, we observed that NOD-FMT mice shared stereotypic B cell receptor (BCR) clonotypes with a much higher frequency compared to control group. B cell clones encoding these stereotypic BCR clonotypes developed and expanded locally in the lacrimal gland, and achieved systemic presence in certain clonotypes.

Stereotypic persistent B cell receptor clonotypes in Alzheimer’s Disease

Project description:The growing evidence suggest that the effect of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is not solely restricted to the brain. Numerous groups investigated the relation between the central nervous system and peripheral system, whereupon the peripheral system is closely involved in accordance with the progression of disease and systemic immunity. In our previous report, we identified shared B cell receptor (BCR) sequences among 10 AD patients which showed similar class-switching orientation, identical isotypes and high somatic hypermutation rate. For further investigation, we recruited 44 patients with AD at baseline and 37 patients for second follow-up to identify the shared BCR sequences among patients and persistent BCR within an individual patient. We were able to annotate 3983 unique AD specific BCR clonotypes and one of the clonotype showed binding affinity against human Aβ42 peptide. Our finding can provide evidence of common BCRs in AD patients exposed to antigenic stimulus which are related to AD pathogenesis.

Peyer’s Patch Germinal Centers Select Innate-like BCRs

Project description:Primary B cell receptor (BCR)/antibody variable region exons are generated by V(D)J recombination with junctional diversification creating immensely diverse antigen contact-encoding CDR3s. While most antigen-driven germinal centers (GCs) are transient, gut microbiota-dependent intestinal Peyer’s patch (PP) GCs are chronic. The nature of chronic PP GC BCR repertoires and somatic hyper-mutation (SHM) patterns has remained enigmatic. To elucidate the physiological repertoire of PP GC BCRs, we developed a high throughput antibody repertoire and SHM assay. Remarkably, PP GCs from different mice expanded public clonotypes, each often with identical IgH CDR3. These CDR3s represent innate-like BCRs that appear much more frequently than expected in naïve B cell repertoire by IGoR modeling, but not frequently enough to enter PP GCs at the observed recurrence without cellular selection. Consistently, some public clonotypes are gut microbiota-dependent and encode antibodies reactive to bacteria glycans, while others are not. SPF fecal transfer to germ-free (GF) mice restored two germ-dependent clonotypes, providing direct evidence for BCR selection. In support of this, we identified recurrently selected SHMs in four of the public clonotypes, demonstrating affinity maturation in chronic PP GCs. Our findings suggest that persistent gut antigens select for innate-like BCR clonotypes to seed chronic PP GCs.

Transcriptome-based identification of tumor-reactive and bystander CD8+ T cell receptor clonotypes in human pancreatic cancer

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is generally refractory to immune checkpoint blockade, although patients with genetically unstable tumors can show modest therapeutic benefit. We previously demonstrated the presence of tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells in PDAC samples. Here, we charted the tumor-infiltrating T cell repertoire in PDAC by combining single-cell transcriptomics with functional testing of T cell receptors (TCRs) for reactivity against autologous tumor cells. On the basis of a comprehensive dataset including 93 tumor-reactive and 65 bystander TCR clonotypes, we delineated a gene signature that effectively distinguishes between these T cell subsets in PDAC, as well as in other tumor indications. This revealed a high frequency of tumor-reactive TCR clonotypes in three genetically unstable samples. In contrast, the T cell repertoire in six genetically stable PDAC tumors was largely dominated by bystander T cells. Nevertheless, multiple tumor-reactive TCRs were successfully identified in each of these samples, thereby providing a perspective for personalized immunotherapy in this treatment-resistant indication.

The self-reactive FVIII T cell repertoire in healthy individuals relies on a short set of epitopes and public clonotypes

Project description:Non-mutated FVIII-specific CD4 T cell epitopes have been recently found to contribute to the development of inhibitors in patients with hemophilia A (HA), while auto-reactive CD4 T cells specific to FVIII circulate in the blood of healthy individuals at a frequency close to the foreign protein Ovalbumin. Thus, although FVIII is a self-protein, the central tolerance raised against FVIII appears to be low. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the FVIII CD4 T cell repertoire in twenty-nine healthy donors. Sequencing of the CDR3β TCR region from isolated FVIII-specific CD4 T cells revealed a limited usage and pairing of TRBV and TRBJ genes, as well as a mostly hydrophobic composition of the CDR3β region according to their auto-reactivity. FVIII repertoire is dominated by a few clonotypes, with only 13 clonotypes accounting for half of the FVIII response. Through a large-scale epitope mapping of the full-length FVIII sequence, we identified 18 immunodominant epitopes located in the A1, A3, C1, and C2 domains and covering half of the T-cell response. These epitopes exhibited a broad specificity for HLA-DR or DP molecules or both. T-cell priming with this reduced set of peptides revealed that highly expanded clonotypes specific to these epitopes were responsible individually for up to 32% of the total FVIII repertoire. These FVIII T cell epitopes and clonotypes were shared among HLA-unrelated donors tested and previously reported HA patients. Our study highlights the role of the auto-reactive T cell response against FVIII in HA and its similarity to the response observed in healthy individuals. Thus, it provides valuable insights for the development of new tolerance induction and deimmunization strategies

MR1-restricted T cell clonotypes are associated with “resistance” to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Project description:T cells are required for protective immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We recently described a cohort of Ugandan household contacts of tuberculosis cases who appear to “resist” M. tuberculosis infection (resisters; RSTRs) and showed that these individuals harbor IFN-γ–independent T cell responses to M. tuberculosis–specific peptide antigens. However, T cells also recognize nonprotein antigens via antigen-presenting systems that are independent of genetic background, known as donor-unrestricted T cells (DURTs). We used tetramer staining and flow cytometry to characterize the association between DURTs and “resistance” to M. tuberculosis infection. Peripheral frequencies of most DURT subsets were comparable between RSTRs and latently infected controls (LTBIs). However, we observed a 1.65-fold increase in frequency of MR1-restricted T (MR1T) cells among RSTRs in comparison with LTBIs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of 18,251 MR1T cells sorted from 8 donors revealed 5,150 clonotypes that expressed a common transcriptional program, the majority of which were private. Sequencing of the T cell receptor α/T cell receptor δ (TCRα/δ) repertoire revealed several DURT clonotypes were expanded among RSTRs, including 2 MR1T clonotypes that recognized mycobacteria-infected cells in a TCR-dependent manner. Overall, our data reveal unexpected donor-specific diversity in the TCR repertoire of human MR1T cells as well as associations between mycobacteria-reactive MR1T clonotypes and resistance to M. tuberculosis infection.
