Dynamic NFκB control during B-lymphopoiesis ensures proteostasis to enable phased proliferation and differentiation decisions

ABSTRACT: Aging and inflammation reduce the bone marrow B cell output. While myeloid bias among multipotent progenitors is one cause, how the developmental cascade of B-committed progenitors is affected remains less well characterized. Here, we identify dynamic modulation of NFκB as a hallmark of healthy lymphopoiesis, which is diminished in aged, B-lymphopenic mice. Indeed, dysregulated NFκB dynamics result in severe B-lymphopenia. Model-aided analysis of in vivo progenitor populations and ex vivo experimental time courses reveal that accelerated differentiation of pro-B cells results in skipping critical proliferative phases. Single-cell transcriptomics confirmed premature cell-state transitions, characterized by inappropriate activation of NFκB target genes that cause wholesale increases in protein synthesis rates. This imbalanced proteostasis leaves little spare energetic capacity to support population expansion and impairs the functionality of the few B cells that do emerge. Our findings indicate that developmental NFκB dynamics pace and safeguard B-lymphopoiesis, thereby identifying additional mechanistic causes of age-associated humoral immune deficiency.

Project description:Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) significantly inhibits proliferation of a proportion of cancer cell lines by activating GnRH receptor-G protein signaling. Therefore, manipulation of GnRH receptor signaling may have an under-utilized role in treating certain breast and ovarian cancers. However, the precise signaling pathways necessary for the effect and the features of cellular responses remain poorly defined. We used transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approaches to characterize the effects of GnRH receptor activation in sensitive cells (HEK293-GnRHR, SCL60) in in vitro and in vivo settings, compared to unresponsive HEK293. Analyses of gene expression demonstrated a dynamic SCL60 response to the GnRH super-agonist Triptorelin. Early and mid-phase changes (0.5-1.0 h) comprised mainly transcription factors. Later changes (8-24 h) included a GnRH target gene, CGA, and up or down-regulation of transcripts encoding signaling and cell division machinery. Pathway analysis exposed identified altered mitogen-activated protein kinase and cell cycle pathways, consistent with occurrence of G2/M arrest and apoptosis. NFκB pathway gene transcripts were differentially expressed between control and Triptorelin-treated SCL60 cultures. Reverse phase protein and phospho-proteomic array analyses profiled responses in cultured cells and SCL60 xenografts in vivo during Triptorelin anti-proliferation. Increased phosphorylated NFκB (p65) occurred in SCL60 in vitro, and p-NFκB and IκBε were higher in treated xenografts than controls after 4 days Triptorelin. NFκB inhibition enhanced the anti-proliferative effect of Triptorelin in SCL60 cultures. This study reveals details of pathways interacting with intense GnRH receptor signaling, identifies potential anti-proliferative target genes and implicates the NFκB survival pathway as a node for enhancing GnRH agonist-induced anti-proliferation. 55 samples: 35 SCL60 (15 Control, 20 Treated), 20 HEK293 (12 Control, 8 Treated). Samples collected after 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 8 or 24h after treatment with Triptorelin (100nM) or vehicle control (20% Propylene Glycol solution). SCL60 cells are HEK293 cells stably transfected with a high level of functional rat GnRHR.
