Full textThe process of class switch recombination (CSR) or isotypic switching of immunoglobulin genes characterizes the B cell lineage and primarily involves switch regions preceding the constant genes within the IgH locus. Junctions between donor switch region Sμ and acceptor Sx are generated during this process. Several studies have shown that the fate of B cells is largely modulated according to the class of immunoglobulin they produce and in particular the signals transmitted by their BCR « for example for IgE, BCRs can combine proapoptotic signals. We used several relevant mouse models to study the physiological aspect and the B cell compartment after switching to IgA2 (a dedicated transgenic model expressing IgA2) since IgA2 conveys a membrane signal different from tht of IgA1. In addition, we tested two pharmaceuticals drugs(RHPS4: stabilizer of G-quadruplex structures at the DNA level and JQ1: inhibitor of bromodomain proteins) showed their ability to delay or inhibit class switching towards IgE in vitro but also in vivo in allergic mice. Interestingly, we also demonstrated the existence (till now ignored and maybe masked by the other 4 more abundant IgG subclasses) of a fifth subclass of human IgG, IgG5 which is encoded by a gene classified as a pseudo-gene. We studied the expression modalities of the corresponding gene after a non-canonical switch, the normal IgG5 repertoire, their representation among the monoclonal human IgGs as well as their immune functions through an artificially synthesited IgG5 with human anti-CD20 activity

Full textClass switch recombination is a process in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH) which requires germline transcription, Activated-Induced cytidine Deaminase (AID) and the 3' regulatory region (3'RR). In order to investigate the effect of long-range interactions on the class switch recombination, we generated three models in the mouse thanks to homologous recombination. In the first model, the entire or mutated core element of the chicken HS4 insulator was inserted between the 3'RR and the IgH locus. In the second, a polyadenylation and pause site was inserted downstream of germline promoters Imu or Igamma3 to attempt a premature termination of the germline transcription. In the last, the Igamma3 germline promoter was replaced by Igamma1. Thanks to these models, a better understanding is possible about the long-range interactions during the regulation of the germline transcription, the class switch recombination and the transcriptional elongation

Full textThe non homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a predominant pathway for double-strand break (DSB) repair in mammalian cells. NHEJ repair factors (Ku70, Ku80, DNA-PKcs, Artemis, XRCC4 and DNA ligase IV) defect causes a defective V(D)J recombination exhibiting a severe combined immune-deficiency and usually associated with a pronounced hypersensitivity towards ionizing radiation. Although DSB are essential intermediates in CSR, NHEJ intervention has not been established unequivocally yet. To bypass the V(D)J recombination defect and analyse XRCC4 and Artemis involvement in CSR, we developed a conditional knock-out mouse model. For the XRCC4 model we used a novel lentiviral transgenic technology to abolish its synthesis in mature B cells, whereas the classical homologous recombination was employed to achieve the Artemis conditional model. The partial CSR defect obtained in the absence of XRCC4 enabled us to conclude unambiguously the involvement of the NHEJ pathway during CSR, but also revealed a new alternative NHEJ repair pathway. For Artemis the results showed its function for repairing a subset of DSB induced during CSR. Finally, the Cernunnos KO mouse model exposed a "normal" immune System development associated with a partial CSR defect. These results suggest that as a NHEJ factor, Cernunnos is not essential for the V(D)J recombination but has a role during the repair of the CSR DSB. Furthermore, the hypocellularity of every lymphoid organ analysed brings to consideration a cell viability function in a NHEJ independent pathway

Full textClass Switch Recombination (CSR) is a key step during the immune response. CSR results in a switch to a more specific Ig isotype in response to a specific antigen. Plasma cells, the ultimate stage of B cell lineage differentiation, will synthesize this Ig. During plasma cell disorders, the production of an abnormal monoclonal Ig can lead to pathogenic situations. The aim of the first part of this study is to determine the minimal requirements for CSR induction with a mouse model in which we inserted a “switch cassette” composed of two transcribed S regions into a kappa locus which is naturally targeted by AID. However, despite efficient transcription and AID targeting of S regions, the “switch cassette” was not sufficient to induce effective CSR. We also developed a mouse model of HCDD (Heavy Chain Deposition Disease) which reproduced typical Randall-type renal lesions due to production of a pathogenic truncated heavy chain. This model demonstrated that the effective response to proteasome inhibitors observed in patients, is the consequence of the presence of a truncated HC that sensitizes plasma cells to this type of therapy through an elevated unfolded protein response (UPR)

Full textThe immune System is the site of intense DNA damage. Indeed, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a constant threat to ail living cells. Mammalian cells tend to utilize mainly the non-homologous end-joining pathway (NHEJ) to repair DSBs. Lack of one of the NHEJ proteins (Artemis or XRCC4) leads to a severe combined immune deficiency with radiosensitivity in mammals. Mature B cells migrate to secondary lymphoid organs, where they undergo antigen-driven immunoglobulin-gene diversification through somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination (CSR). So far, XRCC and DNA Ligase IV are the only proteins required for ail types of NHEJ reactions that have no reported roles outside NHEJ. Therefore, although most available evidence points to a role for NHEJ factors in CSR, elucidation of the role of XRCC4 would provide the most unequivocal proof. To bypass the embryonic lethality and the V(D)J recombination defect of knockout models, we tried to develop four differents strategies to identify the role of Artemis and XRCC4 in CSR. The purpose of one of these strategies was to bring about conditional inactivation of Artemis murine gene in mature germinal center B cells. We found that Artemis-deficient B cells undergo robust CSR, indicating that NHEJ pathway functions mostly in CSR via an Artemis-independent mechanism. To formally implicate NHEJ process in CSR, we built up a strategy of conditional invalidation of XRCC4 gene in mature B cells. Our results connect XRCC4 and NHEJ pathway to CSR while reflecting the use of an alternative pathway using microhomologies in the repair of CSR DSB in the absence of XRCC4
Amoretti, Villa Rocio. "Transcriptional regulation of the IgH locus during class switch recombination." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019STRAJ078.
Full textImmunoglobulin (Ig) class switch recombination (CSR) takes place at the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) constant locus upon B cell activation and results in a change of the isotype expressed. CSR is triggered by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and is dependent on inducible long-rangeenhancer/promoter looping and on germline transcription, which are controlled by the Eμ enhancer and the 3' regulatory region (3'RR) super-enhancer. Here, we characterize the role on switch transcription and recombination of g1E, a region located downstream of the Cg1 gene that bears marksof active enhancers and that interacts dynamically with both IgH enhancers upon B cell activation. We show that g1E deletion reduces CSR efficiency to IgA in CH12 cells and affects germline transcription and CSR in an isotype-specific manner in mice. On the other hand, whether transcription precedes orfollows looping to induce CSR is still unknown. To address this question, we targeted a transcriptional induction system based on the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to the Cg1 promoter in a background deficient for transcription and looping to study whether CSR could be restored

Full textDuring immune responses, B cells diversify their repertoire through somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR). Both of these mechanisms are dependent on the activity of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), an enzyme that deaminates cytosines into uracils generating mismatches that are differentially processed to result in SHM and CSR. During CSR, the Ig heavy chain (IgH) locus undergoes dynamic three-dimensional structural changes in which promoters, enhancers and switch regions are brought into close proximity. Nevertheless, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. To gain insight into the molecular mechanism responsible for AID regulation during CSR, we performed a proteomic screen for AID partners and identified CTCF, cohesin and mediator complexes, which are factors previously implicated in long-range interactions. We showed that during CSR, the mediator complex is required for acceptor switch region transcription, long-range interaction between the enhancer and the acceptor switch region and AID recruitment to the IgH locus whereas the cohesin complex is required for proper AID-induced breaks repair and might favor switch regions synapsis

Full textActivation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates immunoglobulin (Ig) diversification by inducing DNA damage. While on-target lesions are crucial for mounting highly specific and adaptive immune responses, off-target lesions contribute to malignant cell transformation. Despite its implications, the events following AID recruitment that enforce genome integrity in B cells remain poorly defined. It is not understood why multiple non-Ig loci bound by AID are not mutated or why AID-induced DNA lesions may lead to mutations or DNA breaks. To address this question, we developed a single-locus proteomic approach coupling proximity-dependent protein identification and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9) to identify and compare the proteins recruited at individual genomic loci bound by AID. We performed the proof of principle of this innovative tool by identifying the proteome of abundant genomic loci. On the other hand, we functionally characterized Parp3, Parp9 and Med1, identified as AID partners, revealing novel mechanisms that tightly control AID activity and DNA repair during Ig diversification
Schiavo, Ebe. "Molecular mechanisms controlling immunoglobulin class switch recombination." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013STRAJ084/document.
Full textDuring immune responses, B cell repertoire is diversified through somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR). SHM and CSR require activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which induces DNA damage. While AID deficiency abrogates SHM and CSR, C-terminal truncations impair CSR without affecting SHM and it has been proposed that AID C-terminal domain associates with CSR-specific factor(s). In order to identify these factors, we studied a human CSR-specific immunodeficiency, characterized by normal SHM and AID expression. B cells from these patients do not display DSBs at switch (S) regions, suggesting that they might lack an AID-binding factor(s) required to target AID to S regions during CSR. Through a multi- approach strategy, we identified and analyzed candidate factors, including Spt6, the cohesin complex and the Smc5/6 complex. We show that, in B cells poised to undergo CSR, AID is in a complex with Spt6, Spt5, the RNA polymerase II and the PAF complex while cohesins might regulate the 3D structure of the IgH locus and the pathway of DSBs repair at the Ig S regions. Our work thus contributes to a better understanding of the CSR reaction

Full textAntibody diversity generation occurs in two steps: the primary antibody repertoire is generated in the fetal liver and in the bone marrow by means of the v(d)j recombination process and the secondary antibody repertoire is shaped in secondary lymphoid organs. The terminal maturation of b lymphocytes occurs in the germinal centers of the secondary lymphoid organs following antigen (ag) and t-cell-driven activation. Two major events take place: class switch recombination (csr) resulting in the production of immunoglobulin (ig) of different isotypes and somatic hypermutations (shm). Defects in the terminal maturation of b cells result in ig-csr deficiencies. Ig-csr deficiencies are rare primary immunodeficiencies characterized by a defective ig-csr variably associated with defective shm. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (aid) and uracil-n glycosylase (ung) deficiencies have established the major role of aid in antibody maturation. Meanwhile, most cases of intrinsic b-cell defects responsible for ig-csr deficiencies are not due to aid or ung deficiencies and are related to unknown molecular basis. The major aim of my thesis was to contribute to the molecular characterization of these immunodeficiencies. We have characterized two new ig-csr deficiencies: the first one is due to pms2 deficiency, the second is assosiated with defective dna repair. The ongoing delineation of inherited ig-csr deficiencies is essential from a medical point of view and contributes to a better understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying antibody maturation in humans

Full textAxons elaborate growth cones, which integrate repulsive and attractive effects of environmental guidance cues to reach their target tissue. The Semaphorin3A repels the growth cones by activating a receptor complex composed of Neuropilin-1, the ligand binding sub-unit, and Plexin-A controlling the cytoskeleton remodeling. The cell adhesion molecule (IgCAM) L1 was found as a third partner of this complex, but its function remains unknown. We identified an IgCAM partner in the receptor complex of two other Semaphorins and demonstrated its implication in their guidance function. We investigated the role of L1 in the Sema3A receptor and found that it controls a crucial process of the repulsive behavior, which is the disassembly of adherent contacts between growth cones and their substrate

Full textTRRAP is a common component of histone-acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes. TRRAPalso takes part in MRN complexe, without any HAT activity. TRRAP is implicated in severalprocesses where DNA accessibility is required, such as transcription and DNA repair. Trrapdeletion in mouse results in embryonic lethality. To avoid this lethality, we took advantage ofthe Cre-LoxP system with Cre under the control of CD19 transcriptional regulatory elements;CD19 being only expressed in B cells. Phenotypic and molecular analyses of Trrap-/-/CD19Cre/Cre mice B cells demonstrated thatTRRAP is strongly implicated in B cell development and CSR. Analyses by single cell PCR at eachdevelopmental stage revealed that TRRAP is absolutely required for proliferation; Effects ofTRRAP deletion are more pronounced in proliferating cells than in quiescent cells. My resultsalso suggest that TRRAP plays a central role in cell cycle regulationMSH2 takes part in mismatch repair. Its precise role in CSR is still unknown althoughMSH2 deficiency results in slight reduction of CSR. Currently MSH2 is thought to be implicated indouble strand breaks (DSB) generated outside S regions tandem repeats during CSR. To test this model, I analyzed CSR in MSH2 and Sµ tandem repeats deficient mice. Analysis of those mutants shows a complete CSR abolishment. Neither S region transcription norcell proliferation (both required for CSR) are implicated. It seems likely that a lack of DSB isresponsible for the absence of CSR, despite AID hotspots presence. Besides, my resultsdemonstrate that MSH2 affects Sµ region but also domains outside R-loops

Full textB lymphocytes express a membrane immunoglobulin (Ig), which is associated with the heterodimer Igα/Igβ to form the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). This receptor can be secreted later as soluble Ig to ensure humoral immune responses. AID enzyme, specifically expressed in B lymphocytes, modulates the B repertoire, by modifying antigen binding sites via somatic hypermutation of variable domains, and by changing constant domains of Ig by class switch recombination (CSR) of the Ig heavy chain locus (IgH). We followed B cell fate after different recombination events mediated by AID, in particular after IgE CSR. IgE is implicated in antiparasitic and antitumoral defenses but also in allergic responses, including anaphylactic shock, which is potentially lethal. Resulting from this potential danger, multiple and strong mechanisms have probably been selected to tightly regulate and maintain very low levels of IgE production, especially to avoid these deleterious effects. Different IgE production control levels are well established, but we now show an auto-regulatory negative control of IgE class-switched B cell fate, mediated by IgE BCR itself, which strongly limits IgE cell memory. We also studied unconventional AID-dependent recombination events. CSR, which occurs classically between two switch regions on the same IgH chromosome, could occur through an inter-chromosomal pathway (trans-CSR), and we demonstrated this very frequent phenomenon in humans. We think this high frequency should be considered in models that try to understand how B cells privilege legitimate DNA junctions while undergoing frequent inter-chromosomal recombinations. We also demonstrated the presence and AID targeting of repetitive regions other than “switch” regions, “LS” regions, located at the end of the IgH locus and integrated into its 3’ regulatory region, which can be recombined with Sμ regions. This recombination event induces deletion of all constant genes, BCR loss and B cell death, and is called “Locus Suicide Recombination”

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to the control and the observation of a class of switched linear systems (SLS). This class contains the systems that can be represented by a port-Hamiltonian model. A lot of works have been studied SLS for several years using an average modeling approach. Recently, various works have shown that hybrid system theory allows to cope with stabilization, controllability, and observability problems of switched linear systems. However, several problems are still open and need more development such as the design of hybrid observers for SLS that have unobservable modes or the control of systems with reduced number of switching inputs and numerous variable states to control. In this work, we are interested in the design of state observers for a particular class of SLS using both the average and the hybrid port-Hamiltonian models. This formalism has the necessary tools to study and establish the stability of the observation errors. At the beginning, a nonlinear observer based on the average modeling is proposed. Next, a hybrid observer is designed for switched linear systems. This observer takes into account the unobservable operating modes of the system. The second point of our work concerns the design of control laws for the considered class of SLS. At first, two Lyapunov-based control laws have been established using either an average model or a hybrid model of the system. A hybrid optimal control based on the maximum principle of Pontryagin and the computation of singular arcs has been also proposed. Finally, a hybrid predictive control based on a discrete model of the system is synthesized. Simulation results and an experimental implementation on a SEPIC converter are given to show the efficiency of the proposed methods. Our motivation to study such a converter is mainly due to its particular topology that includes observable and unobservable subsystems. It is also known to be difficult to be controlled because only one switching input is used to control four state variables

Full textTo recognize and respond dynamically to an enormous variety of different pathogens, B lymphocytes of the immune system have evolved controlled genetic processes at their immunoglobulin (Ig) loci that are known as Ig diversification including V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation (SHM), and class switch recombination (CSR). These complex and vulnerable processes are orchestrated by multiple DNA repair pathways. Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder that can lead to bone marrow failure, congenital abnormalities, and an increased risk of leukemia and cancer. FANC pathway has been implicated in DNA interstrands crosslinks (ICL) repair and in the rescue of stalled replication forks. The FANC pathway also plays a fundamental role in coordinating the DNA repair pathways. Several lines of evidence suggest a possible involvement of the FANC pathway in Ig diversification processes, thus we are particularly interested in revealing function of FANC pathway during these processes. By using Fanca-/- mice, our results first show that during V(D)J recombination, Fanca (or FANC pathway) participates to the control of the transition from pre-B to immature B cells in bone marrow (BM), probably through transcriptional activation of post-rearranged κ light chain. In addition, Fanca might play a role in nucleotide addition at coding end, possibly by regulating either TdT or Polµ activity/activation. Secondly, we found that Fanca is required for the induction of transition mutations at A/T during SHM via regulation of Polη expression/stabilization. Finally, Fanca (or FANC pathway) inhibits short-range recombination and is required during CSR to stabilize duplexes between 2 short microhomology regions that facilitate the recruitment of endonucleases to trim overhangs and avoid unscheduled access of polymerases to DNA ends

Full textActivation induced deaminase (AID) plays a central role in adaptive immunity. AID deaminates deoxycytidine to deoxyuridine in defined regions of the immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and initiates somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion (iGC) and class switch recombination (CSR). While being essential for an effective immune response by underpinning antibody affinity maturation and isotype switching, the mutagenic activity of AID can also be oncogenic and causes genomic instability leading to the development of cancer, or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. Therefore, AID regulation, including the control of its protein level, is central to balancing effective immunity with cancer/autoimmunity. Notably, AID shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus but is predominantly cytoplasmic at steady-state, with cytoplasmic AID being much more stable than nuclear AID. These regulatory steps contribute to limit the exposure of the genome to AID but their mechanisms are unknown. This thesis aimed at identifying AID partners and intrinsic determinants regulating its stability and modulating its biological functions. Firstly, we identified AID as a novel HSP90 client protein. We demonstrated that HSP90 interacts with AID in the cytoplasm and prevents its polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Consequently, HSP90 inhibition results in a significant reduction of endogenous AID levels and correlates with a proportional reduction in both AID-mediated antibody diversification and off-target mutations. Secondly, we showed that the first step in the HSP90 molecular chaperoning pathway and stabilization is the interaction of AID with the HSP40 and HSP70 system. In fact, a specific HSP40 protein, DnaJa1, is the limiting step in cytoplasmic AID stabilization. DnaJa1 farnesylation is required for DnaJa1-AID interaction and modulation of DnaJa1 levels or its farnesylation impacts endogenous AID levels and antibody diversification. In vivo, DnaJa1- deficient mice display compromized response to immunization, resulting from reduced AID protein levels and isotype switching. Thirdly, we found that AID is intrinsically less stable than its APOBEC paralogs. We identified the AID N-terminal aspartic acid residue at position two and an internal PEST-like motif as destabilizing modulators of AID protein turnover. Disruption of these motifs increases AID protein stability and antibody diversification.We conclude that AID’s intrinsic instability directly contributes to regulating antibody diversification. This intrinsic instability is at least partially compensated for in the cytoplasm by the protective action of the DnaJa1-HSP90 molecular chaperoning pathway. Pharmacologically targeting AID in an indirect way, by using HSP90 or farnesyltransferase inhibitors, could be relevant for treating some AID-associated lymphomas/leukemias and/or autoimmune diseases.
