Characterization of human Fcrl4-positive B cells

ABSTRACT: FCRL4 is an immunoregulatory receptor that belongs to the Fc receptor-like (FCRL) family. In healthy individuals, this protein is specifically expressed by memory B cells (MBCs) and is preferentially localized in subephitelial regions of lymphoid tissues. An expansion of FCRL4+ B cells has been shown in blood or other tissues in various infectious or autoimmune pathologies. In the present work, we generated and characterized in vitro FCRL4+ B cells from purified MBCs using T-dependent and/or T-independent stimulation. FCRL4+ B cells account for 17% of cells generated at day-4 of culture. Transcriptomic and phenotypic analysis of FCRL4+ cells show that they are closely related to FCRL4+ tonsillar MBCs. Interestingly, these cells highly express inhibitory receptors genes as described for exhausted FCRL4+ MBCs in the blood of HIV-viremic individuals. In agreement, in vitro generated FCRL4+ B cells show a significant underexpression of cell cycle genes with a two fold weaker number of cell division compared to FCRL4- cells. Finally, resulting from their reduced proliferation and differentiation potential, we show that FCRL4+ cells are not prone to generate plasma cells, contrary to FCRL4- cells. Given the difficulty to access to in vivo FCRL4+ cells, our in vitro model could be of major interest to study the biology of normal and pathological FCRL4+ cells.

Fc receptor-like 4 (FCLR4) and Fc receptor-like receptor 5 (FCRL5) define and control human atypical memory B cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:We performed NGS on Ig heavy chain V sequences amplified from RNA obtained from human tonsillar B cell subsets. From these NGS data, we reconstructed ongoing B cell responses as lineage trees, providing crucial in vivo developmental context. Each memory subset typically maintained its lineage, denoting mechanisms enforcing their phenotypes. FCRL4-FCRL5+ cells were the most represented memory subset in lineage trees, indicating robust participation in ongoing responses. Affinity maturation of both FCRL4-FCRL5+ and FCRL4+FCRL5+ atypical memory cells was stalled in chronic streptococcus infection, conceivably due to negative feedback from IgG immune complexes. We propose that FCRL4 and FCRL5 function as sensors of immune complexes, thus controlling atypical memory B cell responses.

Malaria-associated atypical memory B cells exhibit markedly reduced B cell receptor signaling and effector function

Project description:Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a deadly infectious disease for which we have no licensed vaccine. Antibodies confer protection against malaria and individuals exposed to P. falciparum acquire protective antibodies, but only after years of repeated infections. We recently showed that malaria exposure is associated with a large expansion of a population of atypical memory B cells (MBCs) that phenotypically resemble B cell populations expanded in chronic viral infections, including HIV. At present the relationship of atypical MBCs to classical MBCs and their function are not known. We provide evidence that the expressed VH gene repertoires and somatic hypermutation rates of atypical and classical MBCs are indistinguishable, indicating the two populations are closely related developmentally. Atypical MBCs can be distinguished by their expression of multiple inhibitory receptors, including Fc receptor-like-5. B cell receptor (BCR) signaling is stunted in atypical MBCs, resulting in impaired Ca2+ mobilization, proliferation and cytokine production. Atypical MBCs do not spontaneously secrete antibodies and cannot be stimulated to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells in vitro. These results suggest that in individuals chronically exposed to malaria, atypical MBCs differentiate from classical MBCs and assume a phenotype refractory to BCR-mediated activation, potentially contributing to the inefficient acquisition of immunity to malaria. Comparison of human atypical B cell versus classical B cell versus naïve B cell.

B cells expressing the IgA receptor FcRL4 participate in the autoimmune response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Project description:The clinical efficacy of B cell targeting therapies highlights the pathogenic potential of B cells in inflammatory diseases. Expression of Fc Receptor like 4 (FcRL4) identifies a memory B cell subset, which is enriched in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The high level of RANKL production by this B cell subset indicates a unique pathogenic role. In addition, recent work has identified a role for FcRL4 as an IgA receptor, suggesting a potential function in mucosal immunity. Here, the contribution of FcRL4+ B cells to the specific autoimmune response in the joint of patients with RA was investigated. Single FcRL4+ and FcRL4- B cells were sorted from synovial fluid and tissue from RA patients and their immunoglobulin genes characterized. Levels of hypermutation in the variable regions in both populations were largely consistent with memory B cells selected by an antigen- and T cell-dependent process. Recombinant antibodies were generated based on Ig variable region sequences and investigated for antigen specificity. A significantly larger proportion of the recombinant antibodies generated from the IgH and IgL variable regions of individual synovial FcRL4+ B cells showed reactivity towards citrullinated autoantigens. Furthermore, both in analyses based on heavy chain sequences and flow cytometric detection, these cells have significantly increased usage of the IgA isotype. Their low level of expression of immunoglobulin and plasma cell differentiation genes does not suggest current antibody secretion. We conclude that these activated B cells are a component of the local autoimmune response, and through their RANKL expression, can contribute to joint destruction. Furthermore, their expression of FcRL4 and their enrichment in the IgA isotype points towards a potential role in the link between mucosal and joint inflammation for these cells.

Zfp318 controls the recallability of memory B cells

Project description:Memory B cells (MBCs) are important for efficacious antibody-based vaccines and develop via germinal center (GC)-dependent and -independent routes. We find all MBCs are not equally recallable by antigen. Zfp318, a transcription regulator of spermatogenesis and IgD expression, is not expressed in GC B cells but upregulated in MBCs. GC-derived MBCs are far more recallable than GC-independent MBCs in a Zfp318-dependent manner. Zfp318 expression is inhibited by BCR but promoted by CD40 signaling, while its levels are positively correlated with B-cell receptor affinities. Enforced Zfp318 expression markedly increases the recallability of GC-independent MBCs. Zfp318-deficient MBCs show reduced expression of mitochondrion-related genes, exhibit lower mitochondrial membrane potentials, contain more structurally compromised mitochondria, and are susceptible to activation-induced cell death. The abundance of Zfp318-expressing MBCs positively correlates with the quality of vaccine-induced antibody immunity. Therefore, Zfp318 defines the recallability of the MBC compartment and represents a key regulator of humoral immune memory.

HIV-1 gp120 impairs B cell proliferation by inducing TGF-β1 production and FcRL4 expression via an α4β7-dependent mechanism

Project description:The anti-HIV humoral immune response following acute infection is delayed and ineffective. HIV envelope protein gp120 binds to and signals through α4β7 on T cells. We show that gp120 also binds and signals through α4β7 on B cells, resulting in an abortive proliferative response. In primary B cells, gp120 signaling through α4β7 resulted in increased expression of TGF-β1 and the B cell inhibitory receptor FcRL4. Co-culture of B cells with HIV-infected autologous CD4+ T cells also resulted in increased B cell FcRL4 expression. These findings indicate that, in addition to inducing chronic immune activation, viral proteins can contribute directly to HIV-associated B cell dysfunction, thus providing a mechanism whereby the virus subverts the early HIV-specific humoral immune response. Forty-two samples in two batches were run with different treatments and different time points.
