Project description:Host symbiosis with its microbiota can represent a liability for the host. Indeed, while these communities of microbes broadly control host physiology, the microbiota can also promote inflammation and represent a source of local and systemic infection. The unique strategies employed by each tissue to maintain and control coexistence with commensal microbes remain largely unclear. Here we uncover that, within the skin, host protection from its microbiota depends on the remarkable ability of the skin to act as an autonomous lymphoid organ. Notably, an encounter with a new skin microbe is associated with two parallel responses both, under the control of Langerhans cells. On one hand, skin commensal promotes the development of classical germinal centers within secondary lymphoid organs leading to IgG1 and IgG3 responses. On the other hand, microbial colonization also leads to the development of tertiary lymphoid organs that can locally sustain and mature IgG2b and IgG2c responses. The ability of the skin to develop as a lymphoid compartment is at least in part mediated by the ability of the local Treg pool to convert into T follicular helper cells accumulating within organized tertiary lymphoid organs surrounding the hair follicles. Remarkably, skin autonomous production of antibodies is sufficient to control both microbial colonization within the skin as well as subsequent infection with the same commensal. Collectively these results reveal a profound compartmentalization of humoral responses between the lymph nodes and the skin. Further, this work uncovers a previously unappreciated function for the skin as a compartment able to develop, in the absence of inflammation, powerful and long-lived antibody responses independently of secondary lymphoid organs.

Project description:Primary B cell receptor (BCR)/antibody variable region exons are generated by V(D)J recombination with junctional diversification creating immensely diverse antigen contact-encoding CDR3s. While most antigen-driven germinal centers (GCs) are transient, gut microbiota-dependent intestinal Peyer’s patch (PP) GCs are chronic. The nature of chronic PP GC BCR repertoires and somatic hyper-mutation (SHM) patterns has remained enigmatic. To elucidate the physiological repertoire of PP GC BCRs, we developed a high throughput antibody repertoire and SHM assay. Remarkably, PP GCs from different mice expanded public clonotypes, each often with identical IgH CDR3. These CDR3s represent innate-like BCRs that appear much more frequently than expected in naïve B cell repertoire by IGoR modeling, but not frequently enough to enter PP GCs at the observed recurrence without cellular selection. Consistently, some public clonotypes are gut microbiota-dependent and encode antibodies reactive to bacteria glycans, while others are not. SPF fecal transfer to germ-free (GF) mice restored two germ-dependent clonotypes, providing direct evidence for BCR selection. In support of this, we identified recurrently selected SHMs in four of the public clonotypes, demonstrating affinity maturation in chronic PP GCs. Our findings suggest that persistent gut antigens select for innate-like BCR clonotypes to seed chronic PP GCs.

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs) are sites of B cell clonal expansion, diversification, and antibody affinity selection. This process is limited and directed by T follicular helper cells that provide helper signals to B cells that endocytose, process, and present cognate antigens in proportion to their B cell receptor (BCR) affinity. Under this model, the BCR functions as an endocytic receptor for antigen capture. How signaling through the BCR contributes to selection is not well understood. To investigate the role of BCR signaling in GC selection, we developed a tracker for antigen binding and presentation and a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase drug-resistant-mutant mouse model. We showed that BCR signaling per se is necessary for the survival and priming of light zone B cells to receive T cell help. Our findings provide insight into how high-affinity antibodies are selected within GCs and are fundamental to our understanding of adaptive immunity and vaccine development.

Project description:Antibody affinity maturation occurs in secondary lymphoid organs within germinal centers (GCs) where B cells mutate their antibody-encoding genes in the dark zone (DZ) followed by a selection of the high-affinity variants in the light zone (LZ) by T cells. The amount of the T cell-derived selection signals is proportional to the BCR affinity and the magnitude of Myc expression. However, since the lifetimes of Myc mRNA and protein are extremely short, it is unclear how high levels of Myc are maintained in the GC B cell to allow positive selection. Here, by measuring Myc transcripts in situ at the single-cell level, we find that T cell help promotes the frequency of Myc transcriptional bursts. T cell help primarily increases the number of Myc-positive cells rather than the amount of Myc per cell. Measurement of Myc intronic and exonic transcripts in situ demonstrates that positive selection is mediated by Myc transcriptional bursts through a rapid increase in the active transcription sites rather than an elevation in transcription rate or gene accessibility. Thus, the amount of Myc transcriptional bursts over time in the LZ, rather than Myc abundance, dictates B cell selection in germinal centers.

Project description:Productive B cell responses are critical to protect a host from infection. The spleen and lymph nodes are populated by resting follicular B cells, which can enter germinal centers upon antigen encounter. Once in the germinal center, B cells migrate between the dark and light zones, where they undergo somatic hypermutation and selection, respectively. While germinal center B cells have been studied, an intense molecular understanding of these cells/subsets (and the differences between them) is lacking.

Project description:Ig diversification occurs in peripheral lymphoid organs after establishment of central tolerance during B cell development. In germinal centers (GCs), somatic hypermutation of Ig genes occurs in dark zones, followed by selection of mutated clones in light zones (LZs). This generates high-affinity Ig receptors to pathogens but can also produce autoreactive Ig receptors, which are removed by selection mechanisms that are incompletely understood. The ubiquitin ligase Itch prevents the emergence of autoimmune disease and autoantibodies in humans and mice, and patients lacking Itch develop potentially fatal autoimmune diseases; yet, how Itch regulates GC B cells is not well understood. By studying Itch-deficient mice, we have recently shown that Itch directly limits the magnitude of GC responses. Proteomic profiling of GC B cells uncovered that Itch-deficient cells exhibit high mTORC1 and Myc activity, hallmarks of positive selection. Bone marrow chimera and adoptive transfer experiments revealed that B cell Itch restricts noncycling LZ cells. These results support, t our knowledge, a novel role for Itch in skewing selection of GC B cells to restrict LZ accumulation and shape GC-derived humoral immunity. Determining how B cells integrate cues within GCs to navigate through LZs and dark zones will aid in understanding how autoreactive clones emerge from GCs in people with autoimmune disease.

Project description:Follicular CD8+ T cells (fCD8) mediate surveillance in lymph node (LN) germinal centers against lymphotropic infections and cancers, but precise mechanisms by which these cells mediate immune control remain incompletely resolved. To address this, we investigated functionality, clonotypic compartmentalization, spatial localization, phenotypic characteristics, and transcriptional profiles of LN-resident virus-specific CD8+ T cells in persons who control HIV without medications. Antigen-induced proliferative and cytolytic potential consistently distinguished spontaneous controllers from noncontrollers. T cell receptor analysis revealed complete clonotypic overlap between peripheral and LN-resident HIV-specific CD8+ T cells. Transcriptional analysis of LN CD8+ T cells revealed gene signatures of inflammatory chemotaxis and antigen-induced effector function. In HIV controllers, the cytotoxic effectors perforin and granzyme B were elevated among virus-specific CXCR5+ fCD8s proximate to foci of HIV RNA within germinal centers. These results provide evidence consistent with cytolytic control of lymphotropic infection supported by inflammatory recruitment, antigen-specific proliferation, and cytotoxicity of fCD8s.
