Abstract
Successful B cell activation, which is critical for high-affinity antibody production, is controlled by the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). However, we still lack a comprehensive protein-level view of the very dynamic multi-branched cellular events triggered by antigen binding. Here, we employed APEX2 proximity biotinylation to study antigen-induced changes, 5-15 min after receptor activation, at the vicinity of the plasma membrane lipid rafts, wherein BCR enriches upon activation. The data reveals dynamics of signaling proteins, as well as various players linked to the subsequent processes, such as actin cytoskeleton remodeling and endocytosis. Interestingly, our differential expression analysis identified dynamic responses in various proteins previously not linked to early B cell activation. We demonstrate active SUMOylation at the sites of BCR activation in various conditions and report its functional role in BCR signaling through the AKT and ERK1/2 axes.

Abstract
Facilitated by the advancements in microscopy, our understanding of the complexity of intracellular vesicle traffic has dramatically increased in recent years. However, distinguishing between plasma membrane-bound or internalised ligands remains a major challenge for the studies of cargo sorting to endosomal compartments, especially in small and round cells such as lymphocytes. The specific hybridization internalisation probe (SHIP) assay, developed for flow cytometry studies, employs a ssDNA fluorescence internalisation probe and a complementary ssDNA quenching probe to unambiguously detect the internalized receptors/cargo. Here, we adopted the SHIP assay to study the trafficking of receptor/ligand complexes using B lymphocytes and B cell receptor-mediated antigen internalization as a model system. Our study demonstrates the potential of the SHIP assay for improving the imaging of internalized receptor/ligand complexes and establishes the compatibility of this assay with multiple imaging modalities, including live-cell imaging and super-resolution microscopy.

Abstract
All eukaryotic cells are delimited by the plasma membrane, separating the cell from its environment. Two critical cellular pathways, the endocytic and the exocytic vesicle networks, shuttle material in and out the cell, respectively. The substantial development of cell biological imaging techniques, along with improved fluorescent probes and image analysis tools, has been instrumental in increasing our understanding of various functions and regulatory mechanisms of various intracellular vesicle subpopulations and their dynamics. Here, using B lymphocytes (B cells) as a model system, we provide a protocol for 3D analysis of the intracellular vesicle traffic in either fixed or living cells using spinning disk confocal microscopy. We also describe the usage of image deconvolution to improve the resolution, particularly important for vesicular networks in lymphocytes due to the small size of these cells. Lastly, we describe two types of quantitative analysis: vesicle distribution/clustering toward the microtubule organizing center (MTOC), and colocalization analysis with endolysosomal markers.

Abstract
T lymphocytes are the central coordinator and executor of many immune functions. The activation and function of T lymphocytes are mediated through the engagement of cell surface receptors and regulated by a myriad of intracellular signaling network. Bioengineering tools, including imaging modalities and fluorescent probes, have been developed and employed to elucidate the cellular events throughout the functional lifespan of T cells. A better understanding of these events can broaden our knowledge in the immune systems biology, as well as accelerate the development of effective diagnostics and immunotherapies. Here we review the commonly used and recently developed techniques and probes for monitoring T lymphocyte intracellular events, following the order of intracellular events in T cells from activation, signaling, metabolism to apoptosis. The techniques introduced here can be broadly applied to other immune cells and cell systems. This article is categorized under: Immune System Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology Immune System Diseases > Biomedical Engineering Infectious Diseases > Biomedical Engineering.

Immunology 2020; 161:314-324. [PMID: 32852059 DOI: 10.1111/imm.13250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
During the immune response, B cells can enter the memory pathway, which is characterized by class switch recombination (CSR), or they may undergo plasma cell differentiation (PCD) to secrete immunoglobulin. Both of these processes occur in activated B cells, which are reported to relate to membrane-association proteins and adaptors. Protein 4.1R acts as an adaptor, linking membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton, and is involved in many cell events such as cell activation and differentiation, and cytokine secretion. However, the effect of 4.1R on regulating B-cell fate is unclear. Here, we show an important association between B-cell fate and 4.1R. In vitro, primary B cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide combined with interleukin-4; results showed that 4.1R-deficient (4.1R-/- ) cells compared with wild-type (4.1R+/+ ) B cells augmented expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase and germline, resulting in increased IgG1+ B cells, whereas the secretion of IgG1 and IgM was reduced, and CD138+ B cells were also decreased. Throughout the process, 4.1R regulated canonical nuclear factor (NF-κB) rather than non-canonical NF-κB to promote the expression of CSR complex components, leading to up-regulation of B-cell CSR. In contrast, 4.1R-deficient B cells showed reduced expression of Blimp-1, which caused B cells to down-regulate PCD. Furthermore, over-activation of canonical NF-κB may induce apoptosis signaling to cause PCD apoptosis to reduce PCD number. In summary, our results suggest that 4.1R acts as a B-cell fate regulator by inhibiting the canonical NF-κB signaling pathway.

B cells rapidly target antigen and surface-derived MHCII into peripheral degradative compartments. J Cell Sci 2019; 133:jcs.235192.

Abstract
In order to mount high-affinity antibody responses, B cells internalise specific antigens and process them into peptides loaded onto MHCII for presentation to T helper cells (TH cells). While the biochemical principles of antigen processing and MHCII loading have been well dissected, how the endosomal vesicle system is wired to enable these specific functions remains much less studied. Here, we performed a systematic microscopy-based analysis of antigen trafficking in B cells to reveal its route to the MHCII peptide-loading compartment (MIIC). Surprisingly, we detected fast targeting of internalised antigen into peripheral acidic compartments that possessed the hallmarks of the MIIC and also showed degradative capacity. In these vesicles, internalised antigen converged rapidly with membrane-derived MHCII and partially overlapped with cathepsin-S and H2-M, both required for peptide loading. These early compartments appeared heterogenous and atypical as they contained a mixture of both early and late endosomal markers, indicating a specialized endosomal route. Together, our data suggest that, in addition to in the previously reported perinuclear late endosomal MIICs, antigen processing and peptide loading could have already started in these specialized early peripheral acidic vesicles (eMIIC) to support fast peptide-MHCII presentation.
