Project description:To further investigate the differential effects exerted by TD and TI-1 antigens on trout IgM+ B cells, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on FACS isolated splenic IgM+ B cells that had been stimulated with TNP-KLH or TNP-LPS for 24 h, or on control unstimulated splenic IgM+ B cells

Project description:Atherosclerosis, the underlying vascular cause of cardiovascular disease, has a strong inflammatory component. The co-stimulatory CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) signaling axis is a pivotal regulator of immune responses in atherosclerosis. However, therapeutic long-term inhibition of CD40L will severely compromise the immune system making it a non-viable treatment option. To circumvent this issue, cell-specific inhibition may present a better approach to target the CD40-CD40L axis. Therefore, we generated T cell and platelet-specific knockout mice for CD40L and apolipoprotein E, which were aged for 28 weeks to study their effects on immune status and atherosclerosis. Here, we show that T cell specific deficiency in CD40L signaling reduced plaque progression through hampered Th1 polarization as well as reduced antigen-dependent proliferation and oxLDL IgM production. DC-specific CD40 deficient mice displayed a similar phenotype. Platelet-specific CD40L deficiency, however, failed to decrease atherosclerosis, but ameliorated atherothrombosis. Together, our results illuminate the divergent cell-specific mechanisms of CD40-CD40L signaling in atherosclerosis, which may lead to advances in targeted therapies.

Project description:To assess the nature of CD8+CD40L+ memory Tcells, we compared the gene expression to CD8+CD40L- and CD4+ counterparts, and found similarities in expression of genes encoding cytokines PBMCs were isolated from five healthy donors. The cells were stimulated with PMA/Ionomycin for 6 h, and subsequently sorted into the CD4+CD45RA-CD40L+, CD8+CD45RA-CD40L-, CD8+CD45RA-CD40L+ populations by FACS-sort

Project description:MZB1 is an endoplasmic reticulum residential protein preferentially expressed in plasma cells, marginal zone and B1 B cells. Recent studies on murine B cells shows that it interacts with the tail piece of IgM and IgA heavy chain and promotes the secretion of these two classes of immunoglobulin. However, its role in primary human B cells has yet to be determined and how its function is regulated is still unknown. The conversion of peptidylarginine to peptidycitrulline, also known as citrullination, by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) can critically influence the function of proteins in immune cells, such as neutrophils and T cells; however, the role of PADs in B cells remains to be elucidated. In an unbiased analysis of the human citrullinomeic analysis, we found that MZB1 was preferentially enriched in the pool of citrullinated lung proteins obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) compared to those from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The citrullination of MZB1 was confirmed with mass spectrometry, in vitro citrullination, and binding by phenylglyoxal in the absence or presence of a PAD2-specific inhibitor AFM-30a. Ablation or pharmacological inhibition of PAD2 in primary human B cells attenuated the secretion of IgM and IgA but not IgG or the differentiation of IgM or IgA-expressing plasmablasts, recapitulating the effect of ablating MZB1. In addition, the physical interaction between endogenous MZB1 and IgM/IgA was attenuated by AFM-30a. Taken together, our data confirm the function of MZB1 in primary human plasmablasts and suggest that PAD2 promotes IgM/IgA secretion by citrullinating MZB1, thereby contributing to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and RA-ILD.

Project description:Human serum IgM antibodies are composed of heavily glycosylated polymers with five glycosylation sites on the μ (heavy) chain and one glycosylation site on the J chain. In contrast to IgG glycans, which are vital for a number of biological functions, virtually nothing is known about structure-function relationships of IgM glycans. Natural IgM is the earliest immunoglobulin produced and recognizes multiple antigens with low affinity, whilst immune IgM is induced by antigen exposure and is characterized by a higher antigen specificity. Natural anti-lymphocyte IgM is present in the serum of healthy individuals and increases in inflammatory conditions. It is able to inhibit T cell activation, but the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood. Here we show, for the first time, that sialylated N-linked glycans induce the internalization of IgM by T cells, which in turn causes severe inhibition of T cell responses. The absence of sialic acid residues abolishes these inhibitory activities, showing a key role of sialylated N-glycans in inducing the IgM-mediated immune suppression.

Project description:Mass-spectrometry based immunopeptidomics has provided unprecedented insights into antigen presentation, not only charting an enormous ligandome of self-antigens, but also cancer neo-antigens and peptide antigens harbouring post-translational modifications. Here we concentrate on the latter, focusing on the small subset of HLA Class I peptides (less than 1%) that has been observed to be post-translationally modified (PTM) by a O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Just like neo-antigens these modified antigens may have specific immunomodulatory functions. Here we compiled from literature, and a new dataset originating from JY B cell lymphoblastoid line cells, a concise albeit comprehensive list of O-GlcNAcylated HLA class I peptides. The cumulative list of O-GlcNAcylated HLA peptides originates from diverse datasets, entailing normal and cancer cell lines as well as tissue samples. Interestingly, the overlap in detected O-GlcNAcylated HLA peptides as well as their source proteins is strikingly high. From the compiled list we extract that O-GlcNAcylated HLA Class I peptides are preferentially presented by the HLA-B07:02 allele. This allele accommodates a Proline anchoring site at position 2, and a binding groove that can accommodate the recently proposed consensus sequence for O-GlcNAcylation, P(V/A/T/S)g(S/T). Most of the O-GlcNAcylated HLA peptides originate from nuclear proteins, notably transcription factors. The conclusions drawn from the compiled list, may assist to predict novel O-GlcNAcylated HLA antigens, which will likely be presented best by patients harbouring HLA-B7:02, or related, alleles that uses Proline as anchoring residue.

Project description:IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (IgM MGUS) is an early precursor stage of the rare lymphoma Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM). Although comparative gene expression studies on WM, IgM MGUS, and normal B cells identified several genes differently expressed, reliable predictors of progression from IgM MGUS to WM have not yet been identified. We performed a microarray study on CD19+ and CD138+ cells of WM vs. IgM MGUS vs. CTRLs to determine gene signatures for both cell populations. We demonstrated that hematopoietic antigens, cell-adhesion molecules, Wnt signaling, BCR signaling, calcium signaling, coagulation cascade, and pathways responsible for cell cycle and proliferation were significantly enriched for genes expressed in B cells of WM vs. IgM MGUS vs. CTRLs. Notably, we showed nine genes which displayed the same expression levels in both WM and IgM MGUS compared to CTRLs, suggesting their possible role in the risk of transformation in IgM MGUS to WM.
