Full textIn secondary lymphoid organs, B cells acquire antigens that are tethered at the surface of neighboring cells. Engagement of the B cell receptor (BCR) with such immobilized antigens leads to the formation of an immune synapse and the subsequent polarization of B cells. This includes the repositioning of the centrosome towards the immune synapse as well as the recruitment and local secretion of lysosomes required for efficient antigen extraction, processing and presentation onto class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules to primed CD4+ T cells. Pioneer work performed in the lab has highlighted the first molecular players involved in this process. However, the precise mechanism governing centrosome polarization remains to be fully elucidated. The work performed during this thesis aimed at identifying new regulators supporting centrosome polarization in B lymphocytes upon BCR engagement with immobilized antigens. In addition, in view of the emerging role played by the tissue microenvironment in shaping B cell activation and functions we investigated whether extracellular Galectin-8 modulates the ability of B cells to polarize, extract and present immobilized antigens. We show here that, in resting lymphocytes, centrosome-associated Arp2/3 (actin related protein-2/3) locally nucleates F-actin, which is needed for centrosome tethering to the nucleus via the LINC (linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex. Upon lymphocyte activation, Arp2/3 is partially depleted from the centrosome as a result of its HS1-dependent recruitment to the immune synapse. This leads to a reduction in F-actin nucleation at the centrosome and thereby allows its detachment from the nucleus and polarization to the synapse. In addition, we show that extracellular Galectin-8 favors lysosome recruitment and secretion at the immune synapse, hence providing B cells with an enhanced capacity to extract and present immobilized antigens. Our findings highlight unexpected mechanisms that tune B cell polarity in response to antigenic stimulation and raise exciting questions concerning the coordinated regulation of these mechanisms to provide B cells with the capacity to efficiently extract, process and present surface-tethered antigens

Full textNature has provided the immune system with numerous checkpoints controlling the maintenance of tolerance and the prevention of autoimmunity. The regulatory mechanisms operating in the periphery of the immune system are mediated mainly by a specific population of regulatory T cells considered as the main contributor to peripheral tolerance. In auto immunity, B cells are generally considered pathogenic since they release autoantibodies, that can cause damages to target tissues. However B cell depletion in several murine models of autoimmune diseases leads to a more severe pathology, giving B cells an unexpected regulatory role. Insights have been realized concerning the mechanism of action and the phenotype of this particular subset of regulatory B cells in mice and two subsets of IL-10 secreting B cells have been endowed with regulatory properties. However, despite increasing interest in regulatory B cell biology, the existence of an equivalent population in human is still a matter of controversy. The current study indicates that activated T cells can induce their own regulation by promoting the development of a B-cell dependent regulatory process. Regulatory B cells, identified by their expression of CD19high IgD+ CD24high CD38high CD5high, inhibit the proliferation and cytokine secretion of proinflammatory TH1 cells with the contribution of regulatory T cells, placing B cells at the center of immunosuppressive reactions. The assessment of this new regulatory function in autoimmune diseases shows that B-cell mediated immune regulation is deficient in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Full textAutoimmunity results from abnormal B and T cell recognition of self antigens, which leads to autoantibody production in many cases. Autoantibodies produced by B cell-derived plasma cells provide diagnostic markers for autoimmunity, but also contribute significantly to disease pathogenesis. The therapeutic benefit of depleting B cells in mice and humans has refocused attention on B cells and their role in autoimmunity beyond autoantibody production. B cells specifically serveas cellular adjuvants for CD4+ T cell activation, while regulatory B cells, including those that produce IL-10 (B10 cells), function as negative regulators of inflammatory immune responses. The role of effector B cells is shown in the non obese diabetic mouse model (NOD) whereas the role of regulatory B cells is demonstrated in a contact dermatitis model. During experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, early B cell depletion makes the disease worst whereas B cell depletion after disease onset improves clinical symptoms, reflecting counter regulatory B cell functions during autoimmunity

Full textCalcium signaling is a central mechanism for cellular homeostasis, including for immune cells such as B lymphocytes (B cells). In human, the characterization of the molecules involved in B cell calcium signalisation is still limited and we have focused our study on STIM1, STIM2, Orai1 and TRPC1. In order to better understanding the role of these molecules, two pathologies, with known calcium dysregulations, were chosen : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).For SLE B cells, compared to healthy control (HC) B cells, this work has established that overexpression of the STIM1 molecule characterizes SLE B cells, especially at the transitional B cell stage. STIM1 overexpression in SLE B cells was associated with a constitutive extracellular calcium influx that in turn contributes to the moderate phosphorylation of the MAPK Erk1/2. However, this positive effect is counterbalanced by a defective strore operated calcium entry (SOCE), and a defective Erk phosphorylation after B cell receptor (BCR) activation. The positive and negative effects on the MAPK Erk1/2 in SLE B cells are directly linked to level of STIM1 as demonstrated in HC B cells transfected with a STIM1 vector (pSTIM1-STIM1), or by using a specific siRNA to STIM1 (siSTIM1) in SLE B cells.The incapacity of SLE B cells to regulate T cell proliferation in an autologous co-culture T/B cell model is reversed by using siSTIM1 in SLE B cells. In this model, using siSTIM1 in SLE B cells also restores the production of IL-10 by B cells, and the generation of regulatory T cells. The defective Erk/DNMT1/DNA methylation pathway in SLE B cells is suspected to be under the control of STIM1 overexpression.For CD5+ CLL B cells, analysis of calcium partners has enabled us to distinguish two groups of patients: one group that expresses at the plasma membrane the complex STIM1/TRPC1/Orai1 and a second group that expresses onlyOrai1. The presence of the membrane complex STIM1/TRPC1/Orai1 in CLL group I is associated with a constitutive extracellular calcium influx, the basal phosphorylation of Erk1/2, and a defaut to mobilize SOCE upon BCR engagement. In the CLL group I patients, a role of CD5 on the constitutive extracellular calcium influx was shown using siRNA specific to CD5 and using the transfected CD5 expressing B cell line Jok-1. Finally, the in vitro use of an anti-STIM1 antibody is able to induce apoptosis in CLL B cells from group I patients, while the anti-CD20 antibody (rituxan) was only effective in the CLL B cells from group II patients.In conclusion, this study opens new diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives in autoimmunity and in cancer

Full textChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common hematological malignancy in Western countries and is a result of the accumulation of mature monoclonal B lymphocytes (B-CLL) carrying the CD5 glycoprotein. The B-CLL are also characterized by an alteration of calcium homeostasis with, on the one hand, the demonstration of calcium-controlled survival factors such as phospho-ERK, NFAT- 2 and IL-10, and on the other hand by a progression of the disease which is associated with the response to calcium. Initially, in order to better understand the impact of the CD5 molecule on calcium deregulations, it has been shown that the introduction of an expression plasmid for CD5 into human B cell lines was accompanied by a calcium entry in the basal state. Then, this entry, called constitutive entry, was sought in the B-CLL to show that it characterized untreated patients in the evolution phase.As with CD5 B cell lines, this new calcium entry pathway is autonomous and independent of the classical B-CLL signaling pathway: BCR-IP3R. The study of the proteins responsible for this influx made it possible to highlight, firstly three partners (STIM1, Orai1 and TRPC1), and secondly the importance of the membrane fraction of STIM1 (STIMPM) since the use of a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) anti-STIM1 is able to inhibit the constitutive entry of calcium which in turn acts on the survival of B-CLL, for STIMPM positive patients, when the anti-STIM1 mAb was used in combination with rituximab, a therapeutic anti-CD20 mAb. Finally, the modeling of the C-terminal part of STIM1 makes it possible to envisage several potential targets for the development of new anti-STIM1 mAbs. In conclusion, the introduction by the CLL malignant clone of a constitutive entry of calcium favors its aggressiveness and thus constitutes a new therapeutic pathway controllable by the use of anti-STIM1 mAb, which opens new perspectives like diagnostic and therapeutic tools

Full textPeriodontitis is an immunoinflammatory pathologie, leading to periodontal destruction, following the interaction between a dysbiotic biofilm and a deregulated immune response. Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis exhibit common immunopathogenic mechanisms. Thus, B cells have a major role in the etiopathogenesis of these two diseases. We conducted two observational clinical studies in cohorts of patients with periodontitis and treated for rheumatoid arthritis with two immunotherapies for B cells: an anti-IL-6R (Tolicizumab) and an anti-CD20 (Rituximab). The use of anti-IL-6R showed a decrease in TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid after 6 months of treatment, without clinical change in the periodontitis.On the other hand, the anti-CD20, responsible for a depletion in B cells, allowed an improvement of the periodontal clinical parameters. Then we studied the B cells phenotype in the blood and gingiva of patients with severe periodontitis. Our results show an increase in effector "switched memory" B cells and a decrease in regulator CD11b+ B1 cells.Our work has provided a better understanding of the distribution and role of B cells in the immune response in periodontitis, both locally and systemically, and the discussion opens many research approaches and new therapeutic strategies

Full textEl desarrollo de células B es el resultado de varios procesos de especificación, compromiso y diferenciación, cada uno de los cuales se caracterizan por la activación de un nuevo programa de transcripción génica y la extinción del anterior. Hasta la fecha, la regulación positiva durante el desarrollo de células B llevada a cabo por factores de transcripción específicos está bien establecida. Sin embargo, los mecanismos por los cuales los factores de transcripción median procesos de represión de genes inapropiados de otros linajes celulares para adquirir y mantenerla identidad celular son vagamente conocidos. El objetivo principal de este proyecto de tesis es investigar los mecanismos de represión transcripcional durante el desarrollo de linfocitos B. Las histonas desacetilasas (HDACs) de clase IIa han emergido como moduladores cruciales de la transcripción génica en numerosos procesos de desarrollo y diferenciación celular. De entre todas las enzimas que conforman esta familia, nos centramos en las clase IIa por dos razones fundamentales. En primer lugar, las HDACs de clase IIa se expresan de manera específica de tejido y están implicadas en numerosos procesos de diferenciación celular. En segundo lugar, las HDACs de esta sub‐familia contienen un dominio N‐terminal que media su interacción con factores de transcripción específicos de tejido (como miembros de la familia MEF2), mediando así su acción como co‐represores transcripcionales. Para lograr nuestro objetivo principal, hemos realizamos dos abordajes experimentales: una aproximación experimental in vitro mediante el uso de un sistema de reprogramación celular, y una aproximación in vivo mediante la generación de un modelo de ratón mutante para HDAC7. Para estudiar la contribución potencial de las HDACs de clase IIa en la reprogramación de células pre‐B a macrófagos, hemos utilizado un sistema de reprogramación celular que consiste en una línea de células B genéticamente modificadas que se transdiferencian en macrófagos funcionales tras la adición de β‐estradiol (Bussmann, 2009). Hemos demostrado que, a diferencia de las otras HDACs de clase IIa, HDAC7 presenta un patrón de expresión específico de linaje linfoide. Es importante destacar que la re‐expresión de HDAC7 interfiere con la adquisición el programa transcripcional de genes característicos de macrófagos, tales como genes relacionados con la respuesta inmunológica y la fagocitosis, y suprime funciones cruciales de los macrófagos, como la capacidad para fagocitar bacterias y la respuesta celular a endotoxinas. Desde un punto de vista mecanístico, HDAC7 interacciona con MEF2C y es reclutado a los promotores de genes de macrófagos, dando lugar a su represión transcripcional. Para estudiar el papel de HDAC7 durante el desarrollo de células B, hemos generado un modelo de ratón condicional para delecionar HDAC7 de manera específica en progenitores de células B (células por‐B). Nuestros resultados demuestran que los ratones deficientes en HDAC7 muestran un bloqueo significativo del desarrollo de células B en el estadio celular pro‐B, indicando que HDAC7 es un represor transcripcional esencial en la formación de linfocitos B. Desde un punto de vista mecanístico, HDAC7 es reclutada a sitos de unión para MEF2C localizados en los promotores de genes inapropiados de linaje en células pro‐B. También hemos demostrado que la ausencia de HDAC7 resulta en la activación de genes relevantes característicos de macrófagos y linfocitos T. En conclusión, hemos identificado HDAC7 como un nuevo regulador esencial en el desarrollo de linfocitos B.

Full textB-lymphocytes respond to environmental cues for their survival, growth, and differentiation through receptor-mediated signaling pathways. Naïve Blymphocytes must acquire and metabolize external glucose in order to support the bioenergetics associated with maintaining cell volume, ion gradients, and basal macromolecular synthesis. The up-regulation of glycolytic enzyme expression and activity via engaged B-cell receptor mediated-events was glucose-dependent. This suggests an essential role for glucose energy metabolism in the promotion of B cell growth, survival, and proliferation in response to extracellular stimuli. In addition, the activity of ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) was determined to be crucial for ex vivo splenic B cell differentiation to antibody-producing cells wherein B cells undergo endomembrane synthesis and expansion. This investigation employed knockout murine models as well as chemical inhibitors to determine the signaling components and enzymes responsible for glucose utilization and incorporation into membrane lipids. These results point to a critical role for phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase (PI3K) in orchestrating cellular glucose energy metabolism and glucosedependent de novo lipogenesis for B lymphocyte responses

Full textEstablishment of immune responses takes place through soluble factors exchange and intracellular signals transmission. Recently, a new mode of communication has been discovered, involving the exchange of plasma membrane fragments between cells in contact. This phenomenon, called trogocytosis, originally described in T cells, occurs rapidly and efficiently and is a selective process. However, its mechanisms and physiological roles are not well defined yet. My thesis work has focused on two main areas: first to compare the mechanisms of trogocytosis in T and B lymphocytes and second to identify the criteria that determine the selectivity of transfer. Using a large panel of inhibitors of various cellular activities, we determined that trogocytosis is an active phenomenon in T cells, dependent on actin cytoskeleton and signalisation, and that it is a passive phenomenon in B cells, that can takes place in all conditions we tested. This difference, intrinsic to the cell type, is a first step towards understanding the phenomenon of trogocytosis as a whole. Concerning selectivity of molecules transfer, we first showed that glycoconjugates were captured from the target cells with the same efficiency as proteins or lipids during trogocytosis by T and B cells. In a second study, we are currently working to define the criteria of transfer selectivity of membrane components by following the transfer of unique proteins. Our initial results confirm that there is a selectivity of transfer and identify candidate proteins, whose study will enable us to understand the factors determining the transfer of molecules, and thus to advance our understanding of the mechanism(s) of trogocytosis

Full textDerived from a common ancestral gene, CD5 and CD6 molecules are present on the surface of all mature T lymphocytes (LT) and some B lymphocytes (LB). These two proteins are members of the "Scavenger Receptor Cystein Rich" family proteins (SRCR) but the regulation, the expression and the function of these molecules is not totally resolved. CD5 is involved in the regulation of antigen receptor in LB and in LT, in the LB tolerance and is present on the surface of regulator B cells. In contrast, CD6 plays a role in lymphocyte proliferation, survival, migration, and cell adhesion. Expressions of CD5 and CD6 differ within normal LB and and LB present in different in pathologies. In the context of systemic lupus erythematosus (LES), the number of CD5 molecules on the surface of CD5+ LB is reduced. In another autoimmune disease (MAI), the Sjogren Syndrome (SS), the expression of CD6 at the membrane of B cells is not affected but the distribution of CD6 + memory LB but not naive LB is changed compared to healthy controls. Indeed, LB CD6 + are underrepresented in the peripheral blood and, it’s due to their relocation in the salivary glands (GS) of patients. This relocation is related to overexpression of ALCAM, the natural ligand of CD6, by epithelial cells in SS. The study of the decreased expression of CD5 on the surface of LB SLE patients has shown that there was a defect in the process of DNA methylation in these patients. The same defect was found in the GS of SS patients. Finally, B cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients (CLL) are holders of the two molecules on their membrane. We tested the effect in vitro and in vivo of a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) anti-CD6, T1H, in the CLL. Interestingly, it appears that this mAb promotes lysis of CLL LB and this effect is equivalent to the one that rituximab was shown to have in an in vivo mouse model. T1H is internalized by LT and is therefore ineffective on these cells. These results allow us to conclude that even if the CD5 and CD6 molecules are phylogenetically close, they have different functions and modes of regulation between LB and LT but also within different populations of LB. A better understanding of their functions and action pathway of these two proteins opens up therapeutic perspectives for the treatment of MAI and CLL

Full textThe terminal differentiation of B cells, which takes places within germinal centres of secondary lymphoid organs, is the ultimate step of a T cell dependent response and results in the generation of long-lived plasma cells (PCs) that secrete protective, antigen-specific, high-affinity antibodies as part of adaptive immunity. The transition of a naive B cell into a PC is governed by a well-characterised gene regulatory network and is heavily influenced by the integration of externally received signals, including BCR-antigen binding and T cell help, such as cytokines which guide B cell fate. The early IL-2 priming of human primary activated B cells triggers PC differentiation through sustained ERK signalling resulting in the down regulation of B cell transcription factor BACH2. Transient BACH2 repression is sufficient to trigger plasmablast differentiation in the absence of IL-2 suggesting that it acts as a key lock of PC differentiation. Importantly, this enforced BACH2 repression results in the generation of plasmablasts with a lymphoplasmacytic phenotype. The focus of this thesis was to characterise the molecular mechanisms regulating BACH2 expression via the IL-2 ERK transduction pathway. We identify ELK-1 as the mediator of IL-2 ERK induced BACH2 downregulation as it binds to a regulatory enhancer element located within intron 1 of BACH2 instigating its repression and unlocking the PC programme triggering differentiation. The characterisation of this BACH2 enhancer confirms that it is dynamically regulated during PC differentiation and is located within a region targeted for mutation suggesting that it may have a potential role in lymphomagenesis

Full textZAP-70 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is associated with BCR hypersignalling and autoimmune cytopenia (AIC) occurrence. Non tumoral B cells also express ZAP-70, which is correlated with those in tumoral B cells and AIC. We have shown that these non tumoral B cells ZAP-70+ are polyclonal, without molecular link between each other and tumoral B cells, and without BCR stereotypy. These cells are however enriched in autoreactive BCR. Our mouse model knock in Zap-70+/- // Mb1-Cre+/- revealed that a high and early ZAP-70 expression is associated with medullar selective advantage, enrichment in potential autoreactive B cells of marginal zone subtype, partial block for peripheral maturation and differentiation, along with some LLC characteristics: hypogammaglobulinemia, enrichment in circulating auto-antibodies, increase in cellular activation and proliferation. These results open new opportunities involving ZAP-70 in the understanding of B cell development and physiopathology of tolerance breakdown and neoplastic transformation
