Mature IgM+ plasma cells sense antigen and develop competence for cytokine production upon antigenic challenge

ABSTRACT: Dogma holds that plasma cells (PC), as opposed to B cells, cannot bind antigen (Ag) because they have switched from expression of membrane-bound immunoglobulins that constitute the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) to production of the secreted form of immunoglobulins. We have compared the phenotypical and functional attributes of PC generated by the T-cell-dependent and T-cell-independent forms of the hapten NP. We unexpectedly found that the nature of the secreted Ig isotype rather than the chemical structure of the immunizing Ag defines two functionally distinct populations of PC. Fully mature IgM-expressing bone marrow PC retain expression of a functional BCR while their IgG+ counterparts do not. We show that Ag boost modifies the gene expression profile of IgM+ PC and initiates a cytokine production program, characterized by upregulation of CCL5 and IL-10. Our results demonstrate that IgM-expressing PC can sense Ag and acquire competence for cytokine production upon antigenic challenge.

RNA-seq of in vitro derived B cells

Project description:IFN-γ has been reported to be the ABC-promoting cytokine combined with signaling from IL-21, CD40L, Ag-BCR and TLR7 agonist. Hence, we adopted the in vitro differentiation cocktails (anti-IgM, R848, anti-CD40, IL-21 plus IFN-γ or IL-4) to determine the role of IFN-γ in ABC differentiation. Mouse splenic B cells were purified by negative selection and cultured in the presence of the above cocktails. Compared with IL-4, IFN-γ-polarized cells preferentially differentiated to ABC-like cells. And RNA-seq were performed on IFN-γ-polarized cells and IL-4-polarized cells.

Cellular Ig sequencing - A systematic approach for peptide characterization of B-cell receptor in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

Project description:The immune system produces a vast repertoire of immunoglobulins (Ig) in response to the wide number of different antigens to which we are exposed. Thanks to processes such as V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation, and antigen selection, the immune system is able of generating the high diversity of Ig sequences. Igs are present in the body as soluble or membrane-bound proteins attached to the B-cells (similar structure to IgM) for regulating the immune system and performing the function of B-cell receptors (BCR), respectively. Specifically, the disrupted activation of the BCR appears as the responsible of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We have focused this study in the sequencing of cellular Ig from B cells purified from the peripheral blood of CLL patients in order to characterize their peptide profiles.

Chlamydophila psittaci negative ocular adnexal marginal zone lymphomas express self polyreactive B cell receptors

Project description:The pathogenesis of Chlamydophila (C.) psittaci negative ocular adnexal extranodal marginal zone lymphomas (OAEMZLs) is poorly understood. OAEMZLs are monoclonal tumors expressing a biased repertoire of mutated surface immunoglobulins. Antigenic activation of the B cell receptor (BCR) may play a role in the pathogenesis of these lymphomas. We have analyzed the reactivity of recombinant OAEMZL immunoglobulins. OAEMZL antibodies reacted with self-human antigens, as demonstrated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, HEp-2 immunofluorescence and human protein microarrays. All the analyzed recombinant antibodies (rAbs) exhibited polyreactivity by comprehensive protein array antibody reactivity and some rAbs also demonstrated rheumatoid factor activity. The identity of several reactive antigens was confirmed by microcapillary reverse-phase HPLC nano-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. The tested rAbs frequently reacted with shared intracellular and extracellular self-antigens (e.g. galectin-3). Furthermore, these self-antigens induced BCR signaling in B cells expressing cognate surface immunoglobulins derived from OAEMZLs. These findings suggest that interactions between self-antigens and cognate OAEMZL tumor-derived BCRs are functional, inducing intracellular signaling. Overall our findings suggest that self-antigen-induced BCR stimulation may be implicated in the pathogenesis of C. psittaci negative OAEMZLs.

Gene expression study in CLL of B-cell receptor triggering (miRNA study)

Project description:The B-cell receptor (BCR) plays an important role in pathogenesis and progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We investigated the BCR triggering-dependent microRNA modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM. miRome of immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells (n=16) identified a substantial upregulation of miR-132 in both unmutated (UM) and mutated (M) IGHV subgroups. A parallel gene expression profile and an in-silico analysis to identify miR-132 target genes¸ allowed us to focus on SIRT1, that encodes for a histone deacetylase targeting several proteins including TP53. We defined a reduction of SIRT1 protein levels upon immobilized anti-IgM stimulation (P=0.001), and a concomitant increase in TP53 acetylation (P=0.0072). The TP53 target gene CDKN1A was consistently up-regulated in immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Of note, the miR-132 constitutive expression levels in CLL cases (n=134) were of similar magnitude of those obtained in in vitro immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Additionally, high miR-132 expression levels retained a favorable prognostic impact in M (P=0.005), but not in UM CLL patients (P=0.968). The described miR-132/SIRT1/TP53 axis, sequentially characterized by BCR triggering, miR-132 up-regulation, SIRT1 down-regulation and TP53 acetylation, should be considered in the light of emerging drugs targeting the BCR pathway in CLL. investigated the BCR triggering-dependent gene expression modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM.

Immunoglobulin expression in the endoplasmic reticulum shapes the metabolic fitness of B lymphocytes

Project description:The major function of B lymphocytes is to sense antigens and to produce protective antibodies after activation. This function requires the expression of a B-cell antigen receptor (BCR), and evolutionary conserved mechanisms seem to exist that ensure that B cells without a BCR do not develop nor survive in the periphery. Here, we show that the loss of BCR expression on Burkitt lymphoma cells leads to decreased mitochondrial function and impaired metabolic flexibility. Strikingly, this phenotype does not result from the absence of a classical Syk-dependent BCR signal but rather from compromised ER expansion. We show that the reexpression of immunoglobulins (Ig) in the absence of the BCR signaling subunits Igα and Igβ rescues the observed metabolic defects. We demonstrate that immunoglobulin expression is needed to maintain ER homeostasis not only in lymphoma cells but also in resting B cells. Our study provides evidence that the expression of BCR components, which is sensed in the ER and shapes mitochondrial function, represents a novel mechanism of metabolic control in B cells.

Network analysis identifies proinflammatory plasma cell polarization for secretion of ISG15 in human autoimmunity

Project description:Plasma cells (PCs) as effectors of humoral immunity produce immunoglobulins to match pathogenic insult. However, emerging data suggests more diverse roles for PCs as regulators of immune and inflammatory responses via secretion of factors other than immunoglobulins. The extent to which such responses are pre-programmed in B-lineage cells or can be induced in PCs by the microenvironment is unknown. Here we dissect the impact of IFNs on the regulatory networks of human plasma cells. We show that core PC programs are unaffected, while PCs respond to IFNs with distinctive transcriptional responses. The ISG15-system emerges as a major transcriptional output induced in a sustained fashion by IFN-Î± in PCs and linked both to intracellular conjugation and ISG15 secretion. This leads to the identification of ISG15-secreting plasmablasts/PCs in patients with active SLE. Thus ISG15-secreting PCs represent a distinct pro-inflammatory PC subset providing an immunoglobulin-independent mechanism of PC action in human autoimmunity B-cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of three adult donors and differentiated in vitro (see individual samples for culture conditions)

Loss of colonic primary cilia promotes inflammation and carcinogenesis

Project description:Primary cilia (PC) are important signaling hubs in cells and we explored their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colitis. In the colon we found PC to be mostly present on different subtypes of fibroblasts and exposure of mice to either chemically induced colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis (CAC) or dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis decreased PC numbers. We employed conditional knock-out strains for the PC essential genes, Kif3A and Ift88, to generate mice with reduced numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts. These mice showed an increased susceptibility in the CAC model as well as in DSS-induced colitis. Secretome and immunohistochemical analyses of DSS-treated mice displayed an elevated production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in PC-deficient colons. An inflammatory environment diminished PC presence in primary fibroblast cultures. This was triggered by IL-6 as identified by RNAseq analysis together with blocking experiments, suggesting an activation loop between IL-6 production and PC loss. Notably, an analysis of PC presence on biopsies of patients with ulcerative colitis as well as CRC patients revealed decreased numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts in pathological versus surrounding normal tissue. Taken together, we provide evidence that a decrease in colonic PC numbers promotes colitis and CRC.
