Lineage-specific functions of Bcl6 in immunity and inflammation are mediated through distinct biochemical mechanisms

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor Bcl6 orchestrates the germinal center reaction through its actions in B and T cells, and regulates inflammatory signaling in macrophages. We report that genetic replacement by mutant Bcl6, which cannot bind corepressors to its BTB domain, disrupted germinal center formation and immunoglobulin affinity maturation, due to a defect in B cell proliferation and survival. In contrast, BTB loss of function had no effect on T follicular helper cell differentiation and function, nor other T helper subsets. Bcl6 null mice displayed a lethal inflammatory phenotype, whereas BTB mutant mice experienced normal healthy lives with no inflammation. Bcl6 repression of inflammatory responses in macrophages was accordingly independent of the BTB domain repressor function. Bcl6 thus mediates its actions through lineage-specific biochemical functions.

Lineage-specific functions of Bcl6 Â in immunity and inflammation are mediated through distinct biochemical mechanisms

The BCL6 RD2 domain governs commitment of activated B-cells to form germinal centers

Project description:Our data demonstrated that Bcl6 directly binds and represses trafficking receptors S1pr1 and Grp183 by recruiting Hdac2 through the RD2 domain. Deregulation of these genes impairs B-cell migration and may contribute to the Germinal Center failure in Bcl6RD2MUT mice. RNAseq was performed in endogenous BCL6-depleted OCI-LY1 cells rescued with either WT or RD mutant BCL6 (N=3 for each group).

BCL6 evolved in vertebrates as a stress tolerance gene and is broadly used by cancer cells to adapt to stress

Project description:We have found that BCL6 is a component of the conserved stress response program regulated by HSF1. BCL6 mediates cellular adaptation to stress by repressing genes through its BTB domain. These genes fail to be repressed after stress in a murine model with point mutations in the BCL6 BTB domain that disrupt its repressor activity.

Transcription profiling of chicken Bcl6 deficient DT40 B cell line to investigate the targets of Bcl6 which is required for germinal center formation

Project description:The transcription factor Bcl6 is required for germinal center formation and deregulated expression of Bcl6 has been observed in lymphomas. To gain insight to the function of Bcl6 in terminal differentiation of B cells to plasma cells and to investigate the targets of Bcl6, we established a Bcl6 deficient DT40 B cell line.

Bcl6 expression specifies the T follicular helper cell program in vivo

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cells play a pivotal role in germinal center reactions, which requires Bcl6 transcription factor. To analyze their relationships with other effector T cell lineages and their stability in vivo, we developed and analyzed a new Bcl6 reporter mouse alone or together with other lineage reporter systems. Assisted with genome-wide transcriptome analysis, we show substantial plasticity of T cell differentiation in the early phase of immune response. At this stage, CXCR5 appears to be expressed in a Bcl6-independent manner. Once Bcl6 is highly expressed, Tfh cells can persist in vivo and some of them develop into memory cells. Together, our results indicate Bcl6 as a bona fide marker for Tfh polarized program. Three group of samples, with 2 biological replicates within each group and total of 6 samples were analyzed.

Small molecule-induced polymerization triggers degradation of BCL6

Project description:Most small-molecule protein degraders act as interface stabilizers ‘molecular glues’ between E3 ubiquitin ligases and target proteins to induce ternary complex formation and ubiquitin-dependent target protein degradation. Here we report polymerization as a novel mechanism for small molecule-induced degradation. Using functional screens in combination with molecular and biochemical assays, we found that BI-3802, which binds to the BTB domain of the oncogenic transcription factor BCL6, induces polymerization of BCL6 into regular helical structures in vitro and foci in vivo. Polymerization precedes degradation by the SIAH1 E3 ubiquitin ligase. Hereby, a VxP amino acid motif on BCL6, distal from the drug-binding BTB domain, is required for SIAH1 binding, ubiquitination and BI-3802-induced degradation. Our findings propose that small molecule-induced polymerization is not only a new modality for targeted protein degradation, but also provides synthetic biology with a tool for tunable protein polymerization and opens new avenues for future drug design.

Dynamic Regulation of Tfh Clonal Selection During the Germinal Center Reaction

Project description:The Germinal center is a dynamic microenvironment wherein B cells expressing high affinity antibody variants produced by hypermutation are selected for clonal expansion by limiting numbers of T follicular helper cells. Although a great deal is known about the mechanisms that control B cell selection in the germinal center, far less is understood about the clonal behavior of the T follicular helper cells that regulate this process. Here we report on the dynamic behavior of clones of T follicular helper cells during the germinal center reaction. We find that like germinal center B cells, T follicular helper cells undergo antigen dependent selection during the germinal center reaction resulting in differential proliferative expansion and contraction. Increasing the amount of antigen presented in the germinal center leads to increased T follicular cell division. Competition between T follicular helper cell clones is mediated by T cell receptor affinity for peptide-MHC ligand. Higher affinity T cells expanding preferentially in the germinal center show increased expression of genes downstream of the T cell receptor, genes required for metabolic reprogramming, cell division and cytokine production. These dynamic changes lead to dramatic remodeling of the functional T follicular cell repertoire during the germinal center reaction.

EZH2 and BCL6 cooperate to assemble CBX8-BCOR Polycomb complex to repress bivalent promoters, mediate germinal center formation and promote lymphomagenesis [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The EZH2 histone methyltransferase mediates the humoral immune response and drives lymphomagenesis through de novo formation of bivalent chromatin domains at critical germinal center (GC) B cell promoters. Herein we show that the actions EZH2 in driving GC formation and lymphoma precursor lesions are dependent on the presence of the BCL6 transcriptional repressor, both of which are in turn dependent on the presence of non-canonical PRC1-BCOR complex. BCL6-BCOR complexes assemble preferentially at bivalent promoters in an H3K27me3-dependent manner. We observe specific induction of the CBX8 chromodomain protein in GC B cells. CBX8 binds to H3K27me3 at bivalent promoters and is required for stable association of BCOR complex and its histone modifications. CBX8 loss of function in B cells phenocopies loss of EZH2 and H3K27me3. Moreover, oncogenic BCL6 and EZH2 cooperate to accelerate diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) development and combinatorial targeting of these repressors results in enhanced anti-lymphoma activity in vitro, in vivo and in primary human DLBCLs.
