Essential role of the transcription factor Bhlhe41 in regulating the self-renewal and BCR repertoire of B-1a cells

ABSTRACT: The innate-like B-1a cells provide a first line of defense against pathogens, and yet little is known about their transcriptional control. Here we identified an essential role of the transcription factor Bhlhe41, with a lesser contribution of Bhlhe40, in controlling late stages of B-1a cell differentiation. Bhlhe41/Bhlhe40 mutant B-1a cells were strongly reduced and had an abnormal cell-surface phenotype and altered B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire, as exemplified by loss of the phosphatidylcholine-specific Vh12/Vk4 BCR. Expression of a pre-rearranged Vh12/Vk4 BCR failed to rescue the mutant phenotype and revealed enhanced proliferation accompanied with increased cell death, implicating Bhlhe41 in controlling the self-renewal of B-1a cells. Bhlhe41 directly repressed the expression of cell cycle regulators and inhibitors of BCR signaling, while activating pro-survival cytokine signaling.

BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells

Project description:Purpose: B-1a cells have a distinct BCR repertoire compared with that of B-2 cells. To examine whether CIC loss affects the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells, we analyzed mRNA sequences of immunoglobulin heavy (Igh) and light (Igk and Igl) chain genes in B-1a cells from 12-week-old control and Cicf/f;Cd19-Cre mice. Methods: Peritoneal cavity B-1a cells (IgM+, CD19+, CD5+, CD43+) were sorted by a MoFlo-XDP (Beckman Coulter). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagent (GeneAll), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Long Read iR-Profile Reagent System (iRepertoire) was used to generate NGS libraries covering BCR chains including Igh, Igk, and Igl. Briefly, nested inside and outside primers selectively amplified all V- and C- regions and incorporated communal adaptors. Following clean up, only target amplicons, which contain 5’ and 3’ communal adaptors, were exponentially amplified. Amplified libraries were multiplexed for sequencing on the Illumina Miseq platform. Sequence reads were de-multiplexed according to the barcode sequences. Results: Trimmed reads were mapped to germline V, D and J reference sequences downloaded from the IMGT database. IgH diversity and the usage of variable (V) segments in heavy (Ighv) chain and light (Igkv and Iglv) chain genes were comparable between control and Cic-null B-1a cells. Analysis of non-templated (N)-nucleotide addition at V(D)J junctions revealed that Cic-null B-1a cells have a higher proportion of zero to two N-nucleotides-containing-BCRs than control cells. Conclusions: Our study presents the first comparative BCR repertoire analysis of wild-type and Cic-null B-1a cells. We concluded that CIC deficiency does not dramatically alter the BCR repertoire in B-1a cells.

BCR heavy and light chain repertoire sequencing of pertitoneal cavity B-1a cells from wild-type and Igll1 knockout mice

Project description:We report that B-1a cells develop in a surrogate light chain independent context. As a consequence, the precursor B-1a cell population avoids a pre-BCR positive selection stage. To confirm that the B-1a cells generated in this manner repersent a bonafide B-1a cell compartment, we did NGS on BCR rearrangements to assess the repertoire diversity. We find that as a whoile, B-1a cell repertoire that develop in Igll1 kncokout mice are similar compared to wild-type. This supports our findings that B-1a cells develop properly in the absence of surrogate light chain.

Fc receptor-like 6 (FCRL6) defines pre-BCR dependent and independent pathways of natural antibody selection

Project description:B-1a cells produce ‘natural’ antibodies (Abs) to neutralize pathogens and clear neo self-antigens, but the fundamental selection mechanisms that shape their polyreactive repertoires are poorly understood. Here, we identified a B cell progenitor subset defined by Fc receptor-like 6 (FCRL6) expression, harboring innate-like defense, migration, and differentiation properties conducive for natural Ab generation Compared to FCRL6- pro B cells, the repressed mitotic, DNA damage repair, and signaling activity of FCRL6+ progenitors, yielded VH repertoires with biased distal Ighv segment accessibility, constrained diversity, and hydrophobic and charged CDR-H3 sequences. Beyond nascent autoreactivity, VH11 productivity, which predominates phosphatidylcholine-specific B-1a B cell receptors (BCRs), was higher for FCRL6+ cells as was pre-BCR formation, which was required for Myc induction and VH11, but not VH12, B-1a development. Thus, FCRL6 revealed unexpected heterogeneity in the developmental origins, regulation, and selection of natural Abs at the pre-BCR checkpoint with implications for autoimmunity and lymphoproliferative disorders.

Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 transcription factors regulate alveolar macrophage self-renewal and identity

Project description:Tissues in multicellular organisms are ‘serviced’ by resident macrophages, which perform both generic and tissue-specific functions. The latter relies on unique tissue-specific molecular programs induced by signals from the microenvironment and executed through a combinatorial action of tissue-specific and broadly expressed transcriptional regulators. Here, we identify the transcription factors Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 as novel regulators of alveolar macrophages (AMs) – a population that provides the first line of immune defense and executes homeostatic functions in lung alveoli. In the absence of these factors, AMs exhibited decreased proliferation that resulted in a severe disadvantage of knockout AMs in a competitive setting. Gene expression analyses revealed a broad cell-intrinsic footprint of Bhlhe40/Bhlhe41-deficiency manifested by a downregulation of AM signature genes and induction of signature genes of other macrophage lineages. Genome-wide characterization of Bhlhe40 DNA binding suggested that these transcription factors directly repress the expression of lineage-inappropriate genes in AMs. Taken together, these results identify Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 as key regulators of AM self-renewal and guardians of their identity.

BCR repertoire of B cells with distinct developmental timings

Project description:B cells are known to have different properties and BCR repertoires depending on the time of development. Our objective is to investigate the BCR repertoire of B cells across embryonic, neonatal, and adult stages, particularly in cells with a RAG2 expression history. We focus on sequencing and analyzing the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) genes of these cells to understand their BCR diversity and specificity. Additionally, we explore the relationship between B-1a cells and bone marrow IgM+ plasmablasts/plasma cells, aiming to shed light on the development and function of B-1a cells in the immune system.

Global gene expression changes between PTIP KO and control PerC B-1a cells

Project description:B cel receptor (BCR) signaling and downstream NF-kB activity are crucial for the generation and activation of innate-like B-1 and conventional B-2 B cells, yet the molecular requirements for these signaling pathways are not fully understood. We used microarray analysis to detail the global gene expression differences underlying the developmental phenotype of B-1a cells associated with defciency in the PTIP chromatin regulator protein.

BCR-ABL enhances differentiation of long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:The biology of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)-stem cells is still incompletely understood. Therefore, we previously developed an inducible transgenic mouse model in which stem cell targeted induction of BCR-ABL expression leads to chronic phase CML-like disease. Here, we now demonstrate that the disease is transplantable using BCR-ABL positive LSK cells (lin-Sca-1+c-kit+). Interestingly, the phenotype is enhanced when unfractionated bone marrow (BM) cells are transplanted. However, neither progenitor cells (lin-Sca-1-c-kit+) nor mature granulocytes (CD11b+Gr-1+), or potential stem cell niche cells were able to transmit the disease or alter the phenotype. The phenotype was largely independent of BCR ABL priming prior to transplant. However, BCR-ABL abrogated the potential of LSK cells to induce full blown disease in secondary recipients. Subsequently, we found that BCR-ABL increased the fraction of multipotent progenitor cells (MPP) at the expense of long term HSC (LT-HSC) in the BM. Microarray analyses of LSK cells revealed that BCR-ABL alters the expression of genes involved in proliferation, survival, and hematopoietic development. Our results suggest that BCR-ABL induces differentiation of LT-HSC and decreases their self renewal capacity. Furthermore, reversion of BCR-ABL eradicates mature cells while leukemic stem cells persist, giving rise to relapsed CML upon re-induction of BCR-ABL.
