Description
Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells access the B cell follicle to promote antibody responses, and are particularly important for germinal center (GC) reactions. However, the molecular mechanisms of how Tfh cells are physically associated with GCs are incompletely understood. Here we report that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) gene is highly expressed in a subpopulation of Tfh cells that localizes in GCs. S1PR2-deficient Tfh cells exhibited reduced accumulation in GCs due to their impaired retention. T cells deficient in both S1PR2 and CXCR5 were ineffective in supporting GC responses compared to T cells deficient only in CXCR5. These results suggest that S1PR2 and CXCR5 cooperatively regulate localization of Tfh cells in GCs to support GC responses.

Description
Paper abstract: The transcription factors Abrupt (Ab) and Knot (Kn) act as selectors of distinct dendritic arbor morphologies in two classes of Drosophila sensory neurons, termed class I and class IV, respectively. We performed binding-site mapping and transcriptional profiling of isolated these neurons. Their profiles were similarly enriched in cell-type-specific enhancers of genes implicated in neural development. We identified a total of 429 target genes, of which 56 were common to Ab and Kn; these targets included genes necessary to shape dendritic arbors in either or both of the two sensory subtypes. Furthermore, a common target gene, encoding the cell adhesion molecule Ten-m, was expressed more strongly in class I than IV, and this differential was critical to the class-selective directional control of dendritic branch sprouting or extension. Our analyses illustrate how differentiating neurons employ distinct and shared repertoires of gene expression to produce class-selective morphological traits.

Description
Hepatic iron overload is a risk factor for progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although the molecular mechanisms underlying this association have remained unclear. We now show that the iron-sensing ubiquitin ligase FBXL5 is previously unrecognized oncosuppressor in liver carcinogenesis in mice. Hepatocellular iron overload evoked by FBXL5 ablation gives rise to oxidative stress, tissue damage, inflammation and compensatory proliferation in hepatocytes and to consequent promotion of liver carcinogenesis induced by exposure to a chemical carcinogen. The tumor-promoting effect of FBXL5 deficiency in the liver is also operative in a model of virus-induced HCC. FBXL5-deficient mice thus constitute the first genetically engineered mouse model of liver carcinogenesis induced by iron overload. Dysregulation of FBXL5-mediated cellular iron homeostasis was also found to be associated with poor prognosis in human HCC, implicating FBXL5 plays a significant role in defense against hepatocarcinogenesis. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from the nontumor and tumor tissue of an Alb-Cre/Fbxl5F/F male mouse (nontumor, n = 5; tumor, n = 5) or two littermate control Fbxl5F/F mice (nontumor, n = 6; tumor, n = 6) at 45 weeks of age.

Description
Despite the importance of memory B cells for protection from recurrent infection, how these cells are selected during germinal center (GC) reactions remains unclear. We show here that light zone (LZ) GC B cells with lower affinity BCRs express a less CD40 signature and relatively high levels of Bach2, being prone to enter the memory B cell pool. We also find that Bach2 contributes to memory B cell generation in a Blimp-1 independent manner and that its higher expression confers on LZ GC cells a more advantage for entering the memory B cell compartment. Thus, our data support an instructive model in which weak T cell help keeps Bach2 expression relatively high, thereby being predisposed to enter the memory pool. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles of NP specific high and low affinity IgG1 LZ GC B cells were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 1500

Description
Prenatal exposure to valproic acid, an established anti-epileptic drug, has been reported to impair postnatal cognitive function of children from epileptic mothers. Nevertheless, its pathology and proper treatment to minimize the effects remain unknown. In mice, we found that the postnatal cognitive function impairment was mainly caused by a reduction of adult neurogenesis and abnormal neuronal features in the hippocampus, which could be ameliorated by voluntary running.

Description
We used an IL4-capture assay followed by FACS sorting, to isolate IL4-secreting TFH cells from a human tonsil and compared their transcriptomic profiles with CXCR5hi PD1hi IL4-negative tonsillar TFH cells and IL4-producing CXCR5neg non-TFH cells (TH2 cells). Our studies validate the notion of functionally distinct TFH subsets and identify genes that are specifically expressed in and define the human IL-4 secreting TFH cell subset. Overall design: T follicular helper cell subset mRNA profiles from human tonsils were generated by deep sequencing. Naive CD4 T cells, IL4-producing nonTFH CD4 T cells (i.e. TH2), and IL4-producing TFH cells and PD1hi TFH cells were analyzed. DOI: 10.26508/lsa.201800050
