Project description:Tissue resident iNKT cells maintain tissue homeostasis and peripheral surveillance against pathogens; however, studying these cells is challenging due to low abundance and poor recovery from tissues. To increase the number of tissue resident iNKT cells, we used transnuclear mice cloned from iNKT nuclei. We detected iNKT cells from tissues where they are rare, including adipose, lung, skin-draining lymph nodes, and a previously undescribed population in Peyer’s patches (PP). We characterized the transcriptional profile of this novel population by bulk RNA-Seq.

Project description:Although immunoglobulin class-switching from IgM to IgG enhances B cell receptor (BCR) signalling and antibody responses, certain subsets of B cell lymphomas retain unswitched IgM BCRs despite signs of class-switching in the immunoglobulin heavy chain loci. This suggests that expression of the IgG BCR suppresses progression of specific lymphoma subsets. We found that inducing BCR class switching from IgM to IgG1 or IgG4 inhibits proliferation of B EZB DLBCL lymphoma cell lines. To understand changes associated with class-switching we compared transcritional profiles of isogenic WSU-FSCCL cell lines artificially class-switched to express IgM and IgG BCRs.

Project description:The mechanisms involved in the maintenance of memory IgE responses are poorly understood, and the role played by germinal center (GC) IgE cells in these memory responses is particularly unclear. IgE B-cell differentiation is characterized by a transient GC phase, a bias towards the plasma cell (PC) fate, and dependence on sequential switching for the production of high-affinity IgE. We show here that IgE GC B cells are unfit to undergo the conventional GC differentiation program due to impaired B-cell receptor function and increased apoptosis. IgE GC cells fail to populate the GC light zone and are unable to contribute to the memory and long-lived PC compartments. Furthermore, we demonstrate that direct and sequential switching are linked to distinct B-cell differentiation fates: direct switching generates IgE GC cells, whereas sequential switching gives rise to IgE plasma cells. We propose a comprehensive model for the generation and memory of IgE responses. The purpose of this analysis was to: 1) identify expression differences between IgE and IgG1 B lymphocytes, 2) identify GC Dark Zone (DZ) and Light Zone (LZ) signatures of IgG1 GC cells. For that purpose, we compared in one experiment the gene expression patterns of IgE germinal center (GC) cells, IgG1 GC cells, IgE plasma cells (PC), IgG1 PC and naïve cells. In a second experiment, we compared the expression of IgG1 DZ GC cells with that of IgG1 LZ GC cells. Triplicates obtained from independent sorting experiments were used for all samples except two (IgG1 PC=2 samples; IgE PC=4 samples). Each sample was obtained from a pool of three individual mice. The mice used in the experiment were CeGFP BALB/c mice infected with the parasite N. brasiliensis. CeGFP mice carry an IRES-GFP KI cassette in the 3'UTR of membrane IgE. In these mice, GFP expression marks IgE cells, and a population of IgG1 cells with a rearrangement to Cepsilon in the non-productive (VDJ negative) IgH chromosome.

Project description:IgE plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of allergies and its production is strongly regulated. A transient IgE germinal center phase and lack of IgE memory cells limit the generation of pathogenic IgE, but this can be overcome by sequential switching of IgG1 cells to IgE. We investigated which population of IgG1 cells can give rise to IgE-producing cells in memory responses. We identified three populations of IgG1 memory B cells (DP:CD73+CD80+, SP:CD73-CD80+, DN:CD73-CD80-) that generate IgE plasma cells of high or low affinity, but none gives rise to IgE germinal center cells or IgE memory cells. The two memory IgG1 populations differ however in their ability to differentiate into IgG1 plasma cells and germinal center cells, and to expand the IgG1 memory B cell pool. To explore the molecular mechanisms that may explain the distinct functions of IgG1 memory B cell subsets we compared their expression by transcriptome analysis using next generation sequencing.

Project description:'Non-coding transcripts originating upstream of the immunoglobulin constant region (I-transcripts) are required to direct activation-induced deaminase to initiate class switching in B cells. Differential regulation of I and I1 transcription in response to interleukin-4 (IL-4), hence class switching to IgE and IgG1, is not fully understood. Here we combine novel mouse reporters and single-cell RNA-seq to reveal the heterogeneity in IL-4 induced I-transcription. Transgenic mice were generated with one allele labelled with an eGFP fluorescent reporter gene in the first exon of the gamma-1 non-coding RNA and one allele with a tdTom fluorescent reporter gene in the first exon of the epsilon non-coding RNA. Ex vivo splenic B cells from these mice were stimulated with IL-4, lipopolysaccharide and B cell activating factor. After 24 hours culture, cell were sorted according to their fluorescence and used for single-cell mRNA-sequencing. Two independent experiments were performed (labelled as ''batch 1'' and ''batch 2'').'

Project description:CD1d expression by thymocytes is required to select iNKT cells. When CD1d is expressed only on thymocytes (pLck-CD1d tg mice), iNKT cells are hyperresponsive to antigen stimulation suggesting that, in physiological conditions, these cells undergo functional education mediated by additional CD1d-expressing cells. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of this functional education. We find that peripheral iNKT cells from pLck-CD1d tg mice express significantly less SHP-1, a tyrosine phosphatase negatively regulating TCR signaling, than WT cells. iNKT cells from heterozygous SHP-1-mutated motheaten mice, displaying similar SHP-1 reduction as pLck-CD1d tg iNKT cells, are antigen-hyperresponsive. Restoring normal CD1d expression in pLck-CD1d tg mice normalizes SHP-1 expression and responsiveness of iNKT cells. In WT mice, iNKT cells upregulate SHP-1 and decrease responsiveness upon emigration from thymus to periphery. This depends on contacts with CD1d-expressing DCs. iNKT cell functional education is therefore controlled by DCs via tuning SHP-1 expression level in the periphery.

Project description:Deletion of Uhrf1 resulted in stage 1-specific defects during iNKT cell development. To investigate the molecular mechanism, we sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells and performed RNA-seq. By comparing gene expression profile, we found metabolic defects in Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells. The expression of CD71 (Tfrc), two subunits of CD98 (Slc3a2 and Slc7a5) and Glut3 (Slc2a3) was reduced in stage 1 iNKT cells. Besides, the downstream pathways of AKT-mTOR axis were significantly reduced. Collectively, our results suggest that Uhrf1 is required for iNKT cell development by regulating the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. We first sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells, extracted the mRNA and performed RNA-seq. We then analyzed the differentially expressed genes and performed KEGG pathway analysis. We used RT-PCR to verify the expression of the key nutrient related genes (Tfrc, Slc3a2, Slc7a5 and Slc2a3) and used flow cytometry to test the protein level of metabolic related molecules. Besides, we also analyzed the expression of genes of mTOR downstream pathways to demonstrate that Uhrf1 mediated AKt-mTOR axis regulates iNKT cell development.
