    Abstract High-affinity B cell selection in the germinal center (GC) is governed by signals delivered by follicular helper T (Tfh) cells to B cells. Selected B cells undergo clonal expansion and affinity maturation in the GC dark zone in direct proportion to the amount of antigen they capture and present to Tfh cells in the light zone. Here, we examined the mechanisms whereby Tfh cells program the number of GC B cell divisions. Gene expression analysis revealed that Tfh cells induce Myc expression in light-zone B cells in direct proportion to antigen capture. Conditional Myc haplo-insufficiency or overexpression combined with cell division tracking showed that MYC expression produces a metabolic reservoir in selected light-zone B cells that is proportional to the number of cell divisions in the dark zone. Thus, MYC constitutes the GC B cell division timer that when deregulated leads to emergence of B cell lymphoma.

    Abstract Memory B cells comprise a heterogenous group of cells that differ in origin and phenotype. During the early phases of the immune response, activated B cells can differentiate into IgM-expressing memory cells, short-lived plasma cells, or seed germinal centers (GCs). The memory compartment is subsequently enriched by B cells that have been through several rounds of division and selection in the GC. Here, we report on the use of an unbiased lineage-tracking approach to explore the origins and properties of memory B cell subsets in mice with an intact immune system. We find that activated B cells continue to differentiate into memory B cells throughout the immune response. When defined on the basis of their origins, the memory B cells originating from activated B cells or GCs differ in isotype and overall gene expression, somatic hypermutation, and their affinity for antigen.

    Abstract Leukocyte homing driven by the chemokine CCL21 is pivotal for adaptive immunity because it controls dendritic cell (DC) and T cell migration through CCR7. ACKR4 scavenges CCL21 and has been shown to play an essential role in DC trafficking at the steady state and during immune responses to tumors and cutaneous inflammation. However, the mechanism by which ACKR4 regulates peripheral DC migration is unknown, and the extent to which it regulates CCL21 in steady-state skin and lymph nodes (LNs) is contested. Specifically, our previous findings that CCL21 levels are increased in LNs of ACKR4-deficient mice [I. Comerford et al.,

    Abstract T-cell selection and development occurs as precursor cells journey through the thymus and interact with stromal cells residing in distinct microenvironments. Although the chemokines CCL19, CCL21, CCL25 and CXCL12 are known to have major roles in intrathymic migration of thymocytes and thymocyte precursors, the significance of other chemokines such as CCL20, which is also expressed in the thymus, is unknown. This is of particular interest given that the thymus is the location of development of the natural regulatory T-cell (nTreg) population and that the CCL20 receptor CCR6 has an important role in peripheral tolerance via control of Treg cell migration. However, whether the CCL20/CCR6 axis has a role in the formation or migration of nTregs in the thymus is unknown. In this study, we addressed this by analyzing expression of CCR6/CCL20 within the thymus and assessing their role in thymocyte development using Ccr6(-/-) mice. CCL20 is predominately expressed in the thymic medulla and CCR6 expression is restricted to nTregs and a subset of early thymocyte progenitor double-negative 1 (DN1) cells (CD4(-)CD8(-)CD25(-)CD44(+)CD117(+)). Ex vivo chemotaxis assays indicated that these two subsets were apparently the sole subsets of thymocytes responsive to CCL20. The data indicate that nTreg frequencies and localization are unperturbed by deletion of Ccr6. However, in Ccr6(-/-) thymi, reduced frequencies of DN2 and DN3 cells, the thymocyte progenitor subsets that follow the DN1 stage, were apparent. Together, these data indicate that CCR6 has a supplementary role in coordination of early thymocyte precursor migration events important for normal subsequent thymocyte precursor development, but is not required for normal nTreg development.
