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:Memory B cells (MBCs) play a critical role in protection against homologous and variant pathogen challenge by either differentiating to plasma cells (PCs) or to germinal center (GCs) B cells. The human MBC compartment contains both switched IgG+ and unswitched IgM+ MBCs and at present the contribution of these MBC subpopulations to protection is incompletely understood. We discovered that intrinsic antigen-affinity thresholds for activation were at least 100-fold higher for IgG+ as compared to IgM+ MBCs and that IgG+ MBCs when challenged responded only to high affinity antigens and differentiated almost exclusively towards PC fates. In contrast, IgM+ MBCs were eliminated by apoptosis by high affinity antigens and responded to low affinity antigens by differentiating towards GC B cell fates. Thus, IgG+ and IgM+ MBCs may play distinct yet complementary roles in response to pathogen challenge to ensure the immediate production of high affinity antibodies to homologous and closely related challenges and the generation of variant-specific MBCs through GC reactions.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cultured cells that can give rise to mature mesenchymal cells under appropriate conditions, and secrete a number of biologically relevant molecules that may play an important role in regenerative medicine. Evidence indicates that pericytes (PCs) correspond to mesenchymal stem cells in vivo and can give rise to MSCs when cultured, but a comparison between the gene expression profiles of cultured PCs (cPCs) and MSCs is lacking. We have devised a novel methodology to isolate PCs from human adipose tissue, and compared cPCs to MSCs obtained through traditional methods. Freshly isolated PCs expressed CD34, CD140b, and CD271 on their surface, but not CD146. Both MSCs and cPCs were able to differentiate along mesenchymal pathways in vitro, displayed an essentially identical surface immunophenotype, and exhibited the ability to suppress CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Microarray expression data of cPCs and MSCs formed a single cluster among other cell types. Further analyses showed that the gene expression profiles of cPCs and MSCs are extremely similar, although MSCs differentially expressed endothelial cell-specific transcripts. These results confirm, using the power of transcriptomic analysis, that PCs give rise to MSCs, and suggest that low levels of endothelial cells may persist in MSC cultures established using traditional protocols.

Highly purified human adipose-tissue pericytes (AT3G5Cs) were isolated based on the expression of the antigen detected by the 3G5 antibody, lack of expression of CD31, and ability to adhere to tissue-cultured plastic whithin a short time. The in vitro properties of cultured AT3G5Cs were compared to those of adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (ATMSCs) obtained through traditional methods. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs (n = 3 different biological samples) and ATMSCs (n = 3 different biological samples) were compared to each other by statistical analyses. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs and ATMSCs were compared to those of other cell types by clustering analyses.

Project description:IgE antibody is known as a common mediator of allergic responses, generally produced in type 2 immune responses to allergens. It is known that IgE binding to FcεRI without allergen binding promotes survival or proliferation of mast cells, basophils and other cells. Thus, spontaneously produced IgE, namely natural IgE, can increase an individual’s susceptibility to allergic diseases. Mice with a genetic defect in MyD88, a major signaling molecule downstream of Toll-like receptors, have a high level of serum natural IgE, the mechanism for which remains unknown. Here, we demonstrated that the maintenance of high serum IgE levels depends on memory B cells (MBCs). IgE from plasma cells and the sera from most of Myd88–/– mice, but none of Myd88+/– mice, recognized Streptococcus azizii (S. azizii), a commensal bacterium over-represented in the lung of Myd88–/– mice. IgG1+ MBCs from spleen also recognized S. azizii. The serum IgE levels declined by administration of antibiotics and were boosted by challenge with S. azizii in Myd88–/– mice. Moreover, bulk IgH repertoire analysis revealed that CDR3 sequences were highly shared between IgE+ PCs and IgG1+ or IgG2+ MBCs, indicating the contribution of S. azizii-specific IgG1+ MBCs to the natural IgE production.

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs), sites of antibody affinity maturation, are organized into dark (DZ) and light (LZ) zones. Here, we uncovered a B cell intrinsic role for STAT3 in GC DZ and LZ organization. Altered zonal organization of STAT3-deficient GCs dampened GC output of long-lived plasma cells (LL-PCs) but increased memory B cells (MBCs). Tfh-GC B cell interaction drive STAT3 tyrosine 705 and serine 727 phosphorylation in LZ B cells, facilitating their recycling into the DZ. An inducible system confirmed STAT3 is not involved in initiating or maintaining the GC but sustains GC zonal organization by regulating GC B cell recycling. RNAseq and ChIPseq analysis identified genes regulated by STAT3 that are critical for LZ cell recycling and transiting through the DZ proliferation and differentiation phases of the DZ. Thus, STAT3 signaling in B cells controls GC zone organization and recycling, and GC egress of LL-PCs, but negatively regulates MBC output.

Project description:Allergen-specific IgE antibodies mediate allergic pathology in diseases such as allergic rhinitis and food allergy. Memory B cells (MBCs) contribute to circulating IgE by regenerating IgE-producing plasma cells upon allergen encounter. We report a population of type 2 polarized MBCs defined as CD23hi, IL-4Rαhi, CD32low at the transcriptional and surface protein levels.

Project description:In vivo antigen (Ag)-induced differentiation of B lymphocytes into plasma cells (PCs) takes place in extra-follicular foci and germinal centers of the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs). Most of these SLO PCs are short-living and only relatively few PCs, characterized by secreting high-affinity antibodies (Ab), travel through the circulation and finally home in specialized survival niches of the bone marrow (BM) and, at a lesser extent, in the SLOs, where they become long-living Ab-secreting PCs. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish between human circulating Ag-induced PCs in comparison with tonsil and BM PCs distinctively regulate genes involved in cell proliferation. Gene expressions in human plasma cells isolated from tonsil (7 samples), blood (6 samples) and bone marrow (7samples) were measured. Each sample was isolated from a different donor.
