Project description:The mechanisms involved in the maintenance of memory IgE responses are poorly understood, and the role played by germinal center (GC) IgE cells in these memory responses is particularly unclear. IgE B-cell differentiation is characterized by a transient GC phase, a bias towards the plasma cell (PC) fate, and dependence on sequential switching for the production of high-affinity IgE. We show here that IgE GC B cells are unfit to undergo the conventional GC differentiation program due to impaired B-cell receptor function and increased apoptosis. IgE GC cells fail to populate the GC light zone and are unable to contribute to the memory and long-lived PC compartments. Furthermore, we demonstrate that direct and sequential switching are linked to distinct B-cell differentiation fates: direct switching generates IgE GC cells, whereas sequential switching gives rise to IgE plasma cells. We propose a comprehensive model for the generation and memory of IgE responses. The purpose of this analysis was to: 1) identify expression differences between IgE and IgG1 B lymphocytes, 2) identify GC Dark Zone (DZ) and Light Zone (LZ) signatures of IgG1 GC cells. For that purpose, we compared in one experiment the gene expression patterns of IgE germinal center (GC) cells, IgG1 GC cells, IgE plasma cells (PC), IgG1 PC and naïve cells. In a second experiment, we compared the expression of IgG1 DZ GC cells with that of IgG1 LZ GC cells. Triplicates obtained from independent sorting experiments were used for all samples except two (IgG1 PC=2 samples; IgE PC=4 samples). Each sample was obtained from a pool of three individual mice. The mice used in the experiment were CeGFP BALB/c mice infected with the parasite N. brasiliensis. CeGFP mice carry an IRES-GFP KI cassette in the 3'UTR of membrane IgE. In these mice, GFP expression marks IgE cells, and a population of IgG1 cells with a rearrangement to Cepsilon in the non-productive (VDJ negative) IgH chromosome.

Project description:IgE plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of allergies and its production is strongly regulated. A transient IgE germinal center phase and lack of IgE memory cells limit the generation of pathogenic IgE, but this can be overcome by sequential switching of IgG1 cells to IgE. We investigated which population of IgG1 cells can give rise to IgE-producing cells in memory responses. We identified three populations of IgG1 memory B cells (DP:CD73+CD80+, SP:CD73-CD80+, DN:CD73-CD80-) that generate IgE plasma cells of high or low affinity, but none gives rise to IgE germinal center cells or IgE memory cells. The two memory IgG1 populations differ however in their ability to differentiate into IgG1 plasma cells and germinal center cells, and to expand the IgG1 memory B cell pool. To explore the molecular mechanisms that may explain the distinct functions of IgG1 memory B cell subsets we compared their expression by transcriptome analysis using next generation sequencing.

Project description:Summary: Long-lived IgE plasma cells reside in the bone marrow of allergic mice and atopic humans, confer IgE serological memory and produce allergen-specific IgE that can drive anaphylaxis. Abstract: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays an important role in allergic diseases. Nevertheless, the source of IgE serological memory remains controversial. We re-examined the mechanism of serological memory in allergy using a dual-reporter system to track IgE plasma cells (PCs) in mice. Short-term allergen exposure resulted in the generation of IgE plasma cells that resided mainly in secondarylymphoid organs and produced IgE that was unable to degranulate mast cells. In contrast, chronic allergen exposure led to the generation of long-lived IgE plasma cells that were primarily derived from sequential class switching of IgG1, accumulated in the bone marrow (BM) and produced IgE capable of inducing anaphylaxis. Most importantly, IgE plasma cells were found in the BM of human allergic, but not non-allergic donors, and allergen-specific IgE produced by these cells was able to induce mast cell degranulation when transferred to mice. These data demonstrate that longlived IgE BMPCs arise during chronic allergen exposure and establish serological memory in both mice and humans.

Project description:A mutation in the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) has been linked to incidence of Autosomal Dominant Hyper Immunoglobulin E Syndrome (AD-HIES), a disease characterized by elevated serum IgE antibody. However, how this genetic mutation leads to the phenotype has not been fully understood. We investigated the specific role of STAT3 in the germinal center (GC) B cells and plasma cells for IgE class switching. Through the use of STAT3 conditional knockout mice in a Th2-type immunization model, we demonstrated that CD2-Cre driven STAT3 cKO mice showed elevated IgE and decreased IgG1 in the serum, and a reduction in GC formation. Within the GC, IgG1+ GC B cells were decreased while IgE+ GC B cells were more prevalent. Additionally, these mice exhibited reduced IgG1 and elevated IgE populations of antibody-producing plasma cells. Subsequent experiments using a CD19-Cre B-cell specific cKO mouse established this effect to be B-cell intrinsic. Transcription factors critical for GC and plasma cell differentiation, including Bcl-6 and Aicda, were shown to function as downstream signals of STAT3 regulation. Further ChIP-seq analysis revealed that many genes including Bcl3 and Crtc2 were among the direct STAT3 regulated targets. Mice with STAT3 deficiency in B cells also demonstrated an increase in lung inflammation when used in an asthma-like disease model. This model suggests a negative role for STAT3 in regulating class switching of the GC B cells from the IgG1 to the IgE producing state, which may serve as a therapeutic target for treatment of AD-HIES and other immune disorders.

Project description:Expression of the forkhead transcription factor FOXP1 is essential for early B cell development, whereas downregulation of FOXP1 at the germinal center (GC) stage is required for GC B cell function. Aberrantly high FOXP1 expression is frequently observed in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, being associated with poor prognosis. Here, by gene expression microarray [GSE51382] and quantitative RT-PCR analysis upon ectopic overexpression of FOXP1 in primary human memory B cells (MBCs) and B-cell lines, combined with chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq), we established that FOXP1 directly represses expression of PRDM1, IRF4, and XBP1, transcriptional master regulators of plasma cell (PC) differentiation. In accordance, FOXP1 is prominently expressed in primary human naive and MBCs but expression strongly decreases during plasma PC differentiation. Moreover, as compared to IgM+ MBCs, IgG+ MBCs combine lower expression of FOXP1 with an enhanced intrinsic PC differentiation propensity, and constitutive (over)expression of FOXP1 in B cell lines and primary human MBCs represses their ability to differentiate into PCs. Taken together, our data indicate that proper control of FOXP1 expression plays a critical role in PC differentiation, whereas aberrant overexpression of FOXP1 might contribute to lymphomagenesis by blocking terminal B cell differentiation.

Project description:Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), characterized by recurrent infections, low serum class-switched immunoglobulin isotypes and poor antigen specific antibody responses, comprises a heterogeneous patient population in terms of clinical presentation and underlying etiology. The diagnosis is regularly associated with a severe decrease of germinal center (GC) derived B-cell populations in peripheral blood. However, data from B-cell differentiation within GC is limited. We present a multiplex approach combining histology, flow cytometry and B-cell receptor repertoire analysis of sorted GC B-cell populations allowing the modelling of distinct disturbances in GCs of three CVID patients. Our results reflect pathophysiological heterogeneity underlying the reduced circulating pool of post-GC memory B cells and plasmablasts in the three patients. In patient 1, quantitative and qualitative B-cell development in GCs is relatively normal. In patient 2, irregular shaped GCs are associated with reduced somatic hypermutation (SHM), antigen selection and class-switching, while in patient 3, high SHM, impaired antigen selection and class-switching with large single clones imply increased re-cycling of cells within the irregular shaped GCs. In lymph nodes of patients 2 and 3, only limited numbers of memory B cells and plasma cells are formed. While reduced numbers of circulating post GC B cells is a general phenomenon in CVID, the integrated approach exemplified distinct defects during GC maturation ranging from near normal morphology and function to severe disturbances with different facets of impaired maturation of memory B cells and/or plasma cells. Integrated dissection of disturbed GC B-cell maturation by histology, flowcytometry and BCR repertoire analysis reveals essential steps during memory formation.

Project description:Understanding dynamics of antigen specific B cell responses and link between BCR and B cell differentiation is crucial for our ability to direct immune responses and to generate memory and plasma cells responses to protective targets. Here we have infected mice with IAV-PR8 and sacrificed them at different days after infection (7-14-28). 2 naive mice were used as controls (spleen and lungs). From individual spleen, lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes we have sorted Hemagglutinin (HA)-specific IgD- B cells and single cell sequenced RNA and BCR. We identify several known and novel B cell subpopulations forming after infection and find organ-specific difference that persist over the course of the response. We found important transcriptional differences between memory cells in lungs and immune organs and describe organ-restricted clonal expansion. Strikingly, by combining BCR mutational analysis, monoclonal antibody expression and affinity measurements we found no differences between germinal center (GC)-derived memory and plasma cells, at odds with an affinity-based selection model. These finding provide the most comprehensive picture to date of organ specific antiviral B cell responses, differentiation, clonal-proliferation and dynamics.
