BPTF is essential for vaccine-induced germinal center B cell responses

ABSTRACT: Germinal centers (GCs) are microanatomical structures in which antigen-specific B cells undergo proliferation, somatic hypermutation, and affinity-based competition to select high affinity clones that differentiate into memory B cells (MBCs) and plasma cells (PCs). B cell progression through the GC is tightly regulated and the molecular determinants that modulate GC B cell proliferation and survival are still under investigation. Here, we use a conditional deletion mouse model to demonstrate that bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor (BPTF), a subunit of the nucleosome remodeling factor (NURF) chromatin remodeling complex, is required for robust GC B cell responses following vaccination. In GC B cells, Bptf loss induces a stress-like transcriptional profile and a shift towards PC identity-defining transcriptional programing, although this does not lead to accumulation of functional PCs. Rather, we show that BPTF-deficient GC B cells are prone to cell death. Cumulatively, our data demonstrate that BPTF is necessary for GC B cell maintenance and robust antigen-specific B cell responses.

BPTF inhibitor increases gastric cancer response to Erlotinib by epigenetically regulating c-MYC/PLCG1/pErk axis [RNA-seq]

Project description:To understand how BPTF conferred resistance to Erlotinib in GC cells, we performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in MGC803/BPTF-KO and MGC803/BPTF-NC cells.

BPTF is required for c-MYC-induced remodelling of target chromatin and transcriptional activation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The c-MYC oncogene is a key transcription factor deregulated in most human tumors. Histone marks associated with transcriptionally active genes in euchromatic islands define the set of high-affinity c-MYC targets. The mechanisms involved in their recognition by c-MYC are not known but likely involve chromatin-remodelling and chromatin-modifying complexes. Here, we show that c-MYC interacts with BPTF, a core subunit of the NURF complex that binds active chromatin. BPTF is required for the activation of the full c-MYC transcriptional programme in fibroblasts. BPTF knockdown leads to a decrease in c-MYC recruitment to DNA and to changes in chromatin accessibility. Using BPTF-null MEFs we show that BPTF is necessary for c-MYC-driven proliferation, G1-S progression, and replication stress, but not for c-MYC-driven apoptosis. Consistently, BPTF is required for the proliferation of cells driven by c-MYC, such as Burkitt lymphoma, and its expression in human cancer lines correlates with the activation of c-MYC gene signatures. Our findings point to the c-MYC-BPTF axis as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. To assess whether BPTF is required for the transcriptional activity of c-MYC, human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) were stably transduced with the chimeric MYC-ER cDNA (HFF MYC-ER) and infected with lentiviruses coding for either control (shNt) or BPTF-targeting shRNAs. Cells were serum-starved for 2 days to achieve quiescence and then treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT)

Cyclin D3 drives inertial cell cycling in dark zone germinal center B cells

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are the sites of affinity maturation, the process by which antibodies improve their affinity for antigen over time (Cyster and Allen, 2019; De Silva and Klein, 2015; Eisen, 2014; Mesin et al., 2016; Rajewsky, 1996; Shlomchik et al., 2019; Victora and Nussenzweig, 2012). For efficient affinity maturation, GC B cells must cycle between two major transcriptional states, associated with localization of B cells to each of the two microanatomical “zones” of the GC. When in the dark zone (DZ), B cells proliferate vigorously while they mutate their immunoglobulin genes by somatic hypermutation (SHM). After transition to the light zone (LZ), B cells bearing advantageous mutations are selectively driven to clonally expand, based at least in part on their ability to bind and present antigen to GC-resident T follicular helper (Tfh) cells (Victora et al., 2010). Successive cycles of somatic hypermutation and affinity-based selection ultimately enrich for higher-affinity cells in among the GC B cell population, in a process known as cyclic re-entry (MacLennan, 1994; Victora and Nussenzweig, 2012).

T cell help controls the speed of the cell cycle in germinal center B cells.

Project description:The germinal center (GC) is a microanatomical compartment wherein high-affinity antibody-producing B cells are selectively expanded. B cells proliferate and mutate their antibody genes in the dark zone (DZ) of the GC and are then selected by T cells in the light zone (LZ) on the basis of affinity. Here, we show that T cell help regulates the speed of cell cycle phase transitions and DNA replication of GC B cells. Genome sequencing and single-molecule analyses revealed that T cell help shortens S phase by regulating replication fork progression while preserving the relative order of replication origin activation. Thus, high-affinity GC B cells are selected by a mechanism that involves prolonged dwell time in the DZ where selected cells undergo accelerated cell cycles. To determine whether GC B cells receiving high levels of T cell help show a specific change in gene expression, we compared DZ cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle from αDEC-OVA and control αDEC-CS treated GCs using a fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator (Fucci-tg). RNA sequencing revealed that T cell-mediated selection produced an increase in gene expression programs associated with the cell cycle, metabolism, including the metabolism of nucleotides, and genes downstream of c-Myc and the E2F transcription factors.

Lack of affinity signature for germinal center cells that have initiated plasma cell differentiation (Figure2)

Project description:Long-lived plasma cells (PCs) secrete antibodies that can provide sustained immunity against infection. It has been proposed that high affinity cells are preferentially selected into this compartment, potentiating the immune response. We used single cell RNA-seq to track the germinal center (GC) development of Ighg2A10 cells, specific for the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP). Following immunization with Plasmodium sporozoites we identified 3 populations of cells in the GC light zone. One population expressed a gene signature associated with the initiation of PC differentiation and had an enhanced propensity to form PCs in vitro. Unexpectedly, the estimated affinity of this putative pre-PC population was indistinguishable from cells in the GC generally. This was also true when high- or low-avidity recombinant PfCSP proteins were used as immunogens. Immunization with low-avidity PfCSP did, however, induce increased affinity maturation. Collectively these findings suggest that the initiation of PC development in the GC occurs via an affinity independent process.
