A tonsil organoid model reveals Epstein-Barr virus infected germinal center B cell states during primary infection

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) colonizes secondary lymphoid tissues to establish persistent infection and is strongly associated with malignancy and autoimmunity. Our understanding of EBV infection biology is hindered by a lack of models that capture infected B cell activity in the lymphoid tissue microenvironment. We therefore developed an EBV human tonsil organoid model to evaluate key B cell states and antiviral responses, including after primary infection. EBV promoted B cell differentiation into germinal center (GC)-like phenotypes and transcriptomic analyses highlighted numerous B cell transcriptional programs unique to EBV-infected cells. B cell receptor repertoire analysis revealed that most EBV-infected B cells underwent class switching but only rarely participated in somatic hypermutation. CD4 T cells, highly activated by organoid infection, limited EBV+ B cell outgrowth. Our findings demonstrate human tonsil organoids as a physiologically relevant model to investigate key aspects of EBV immunity and pathogenesis.

HIV-1 activates oxidative phosphorylation in infected CD4 T cells in a human tonsil explant model

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) leads to a chronic, incurable infection that causes immune activation, resulting in chronic inflammation in people with HIV-1 (PWH) despite virologic suppression on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The mechanisms underlying this chronic inflammation are multifactorial; literature supports the role of lymphoid structures as reservoirs for viral latency and immune activation. The cell type-specific transcriptomic changes induced by HIV-1 infection in lymphoid tissue have not been analyzed. Human tonsil explants from four donors were infected with HIV-1 ex vivo. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to evaluate the represented cell types and the impact of infection, differential gene expression, and inflammatory signaling pathways. Infected CD4+ T cells exhibited increased respiratory electron transport pathway genes, activating oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, macrophages exposed to the virus but uninfected demonstrated increased NLRP3 inflammasome pathway genes, activating the NLRP3 inflammasome and stimulating proinflammatory signaling pathways and pyroptotic cell death. These observations support important mechanistic understanding to drive the development of therapeutic strategies to eradicate disease in PWH.

Whole-transcript expression data of native stromal cells from normal human tonsil samples

Project description:Despite recent advances in the characterization of lymphoid stromal cell origin, heterogeneity, and function in mice, little is known in human. Most of transcriptomics approaches in human was performed on cultured, and amplified stromal cells modifying their phenotype and function. We purified native stromal cells from fresh and healthy tonsil samples. Gene expression profiling based on three lymphoid stromal cell types provides new insights on the characterization of those cells in human.

Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Disease Originates from Infected Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:Chronic active Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) disease (CAEBV) is lethal syndrome due to persistent EBV infection. When diagnosed as CAEBV, EBV infection was observed in multiple hematopoietic lineages, but the etiology of CAEBV is still elusive. Bone marrow and peripheral cells derived from five CAEBV patients, one EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) patient, and two healthy controls were analyzed. Multiple assays were applied to identify and characterize EBV-infected cells, including quantitative PCR (qPCR), PrimeFlow and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Based on scRNA-seq data, alterations in gene expression of particular cell types were analyzed between CAEBV patients and controls, and between infected and uninfected cells. One CAEBV patient was treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and the samples derived from this patient were analyzed again six month after HSCT. EBV infected the full spectrum of the hematopoietic system including both lymphoid and myeloid lineages, so as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the CAEBV patients. EBV-infected HSCs exhibited a higher differentiation rate towards downstream lineages, and the EBV infection had an impact on both the innate and adaptive immunity, resulting in inflammatory symptoms. EBV infected cells were thoroughly removed from the hematopoietic system after HSCT. Taken together, multiple lines of evidence presented in this study suggest that CAEBV disease originates from the infected hematopoietic stem cells.
