4-1BBL signaling aids B cell activation but limits proliferation during experimental malaria

ABSTRACT: Several costimulatory and coinhibitory signaling axis have been reported to modulate anti-Plasmodium immune response, albeit the precise role of 4-1BB:4-1BBL axis has yet to be investigated. Here, we show that while complete loss of 4-1BB resulted in heightened parasite burden, impaired germinal center (GC) responses and memory B cell (MBC) recall. The absence of 4-1BBL however, minimally affected parasite load or GC responses, while disrupting humoral immune memory. Strikingly, therapeutic blockade of 4-1BBL early during infection derailed both humoral effector and memory response phenocopying 4-1BB-/- data, an effect that was absent when 4-1BBL was blocked at effector timepoints. Importantly, 4-1BBL blockade any timepoint during the course of infection invariably compromised MBC recall even when the GC response remained intact. Our results indicate that 4-1BBL signaling is required for optimal B cell activation but, its absence, paradoxically leads to expansion of a highly proliferative cell population while shrinking the MBC population. Our study highlights the pivotal role of 4-1BBL signaling in governing B cell responses during Plasmodium infection.

Systemic 4-1BB stimulation augments extrafollicular memory B cell formation and recall responses during Plasmodium infection [scATAC-seq]

Project description:T-dependent germinal center (GC) output, comprising plasma cells (PC) and memory B cells (MBC), is crucial for the clearance of Plasmodium infection and protection against reinfection. In this study, we examined the effect of an agonistic antibody targeting 4-1BB (CD137), a member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily (TNFRSF), during experimental malaria. We found that exogenous 4-1BB stimulation dramatically enhanced humoral immune memory and protection from reinfection, despite delaying the effector GC response. Although fewer in number, single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing of MBCs from mice that received 4-1BB stimulation revealed clusters with a transcriptional and epigenetic signature indicative of superior recall and proliferative potential. Importantly, our results indicate that these effects are independent of parasite load or the inflammatory milieu but are dependent on IL-9R signaling in B cells. Our study proposes an immunomodulatory approach to enhance the quality of the MBC pool, providing superior protection during infection and vaccination, particularly in the context of malaria.

High recallability of memory B cells requires ZFP318-dependent transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial function

Project description:Expression of the transcriptional regulator ZFP318 is induced in germinal center (GC)-exiting memory B cell precursors and memory B cells (MBCs). Using a conditional ZFP318 fluorescence reporter that also enables ablation of ZFP318-expressing cells, we found that ZFP318-expressing MBCs were highly enriched with GC-derived cells. Although ZFP318-expressing MBCs constituted only a minority of the antigen-specific MBC compartment, their ablation severely impaired recall responses. Deletion of the Zfp318 gene did not alter the magnitude of primary responses but markedly reduced MBC participation in recall. CD40 ligation promoted Zfp318 expression whereas BCR signaling was inhibitory. Enforced ZFP318 expression enhanced recall performance of MBCs that otherwise responded poorly. ZFP318-deficient MBCs expressed less mitochondrial genes, had structurally compromised mitochondria and were susceptible to reactivation-induced cell death. The abundance of ZFP318-expressing MBCs, instead of the number of antigen-specific MBCs, correlated with the potency of prime-boost vaccination. Therefore, ZFP318 controls the MBC recallability and represents a key checkpoint of humoral immune memory.

An Interleukin 9-ZBTB18 axis promotes germinal center development of memory B cells [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Memory B cell (MBC) development from germinal centers (GCs) entail profound changes in cell cycling, localization and survival. Here we examined the mechanisms that induce the memory program, focusing on interleukin (IL)-9, given its importance for normal recall antibody responses. Using adoptive transfer and radiation chimera models, we found that T cell-derived IL-9 was required for MBC development and function. In contrast, B cells deficient in IL-9 generated functionally normal MBCs that support antibody recall normally. IL-9 induced expression of the transcriptional repressor ZBTB18 in GC memory precursor cells and MBCs. ZBTB18 was dispensable for naïve B cell activation and GC formation but required for development of GC-derived MBCs. ZBTB18 directly repressed expression of a suite genes encoding cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinases, pro-apoptotic genes Bid and Casp3, and the GC-retaining factor S1pr2. Lack of IL-9-mediated instruction or intrinsic programming by ZBTB18 impaired GC-derived MBC development and antibody recall. Thus, an IL-9-ZBTB18 axis instructs development of functional B cell memory from GCs.

A Temporal Switch in the Germinal Center Determines Differential Output of Memory B and Plasma Cells

Project description:There is little insight into or agreement about the signals that control differentiation of memory B cells (MBC) and long-lived plasma cells (LLPC). By performing BrdU pulse-labeling studies, we found that MBC formation preceded the formation of LLPC in an adoptive transfer immunization system, which allowed for a synchronized Ag-specific response with homogeneous Ag-receptor, yet at natural precursor frequencies. We confirmed observations in wild type (WT) mice and extended them with germinal center (GC) disruption experiments and variable region gene sequencing. We thus show that the GC response undergo a temporal switch in its output as it matures, revealing that the reaction engenders both MBC subsets with different immune effector function and, ultimately, LLPC at largely separate points in time. These data demonstrate the kinetics of the formation of the cells that provide stable humoral immunity and therefore have implications for autoimmunity, vaccine development, and for understanding long-term pathogen resistance.

The transcription factor Hhex cooperates with the corepressor Tle3 to promote memory B cell development

Project description:Memory B cells (MBCs) are essential for long-lived humoral immunity. However, the transcription factors (TFs) involved in MBC differentiation are poorly defined. Here, by single cell RNAseq analysis, we identified a population of germinal center (GC) B cells in the process of differentiating into MBCs. Using an inducible Crispr/Cas9 screening approach we identified the hematopoietically-expressed homeobox gene Hhex as a transcription factor regulating MBC differentiation. The co-repressor Tle3 was also identified in the screen and was found to interact with Hhex to promote MBC development. Bcl6 directly repressed Hhex in GC B cells. Reciprocally, Hhex-deficient MBCs exhibited derepressed Bcl6 and reduced expression of Bcl6-repressed Bcl2. Overexpression of Bcl2 was able to rescue MBC differentiation in Hhex-deficient cells. We also identified Ski as an Hhex-induced transcription factor involved in MBC differentiation. These findings establish an important role for Hhex-Tle3 in regulating the transcriptional circuitry governing MBC differentiation.
