Article Title: Splenic fibroblasts control marginal zone B cell movement and function via two distinct Notch2-dependent regulatory programs
Abstract: Innate-like splenic marginal zone (MZ) B (MZB) cells play unique roles in immunity due to their rapid responsiveness to blood-borne microbes. How MZB cells integrate cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic processes to achieve accelerated responsiveness is unclear. We found that Delta-like1 (Dll1) Notch ligands in splenic fibroblasts regulated MZB cell pool size, migration, and function. Dll1 could not be replaced by the alternative Notch ligand Dll4. Dll1-Notch2 signaling regulated a Myc-dependent gene expression program fostering cell growth and a Myc-independent program controlling cell-movement regulators such as sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1). S1pr1-deficient B cells experienced Notch signaling within B cell follicles without entering the MZ and were retained in the spleen upon Notch deprivation. Key elements of the mouse B cell Notch regulome were preserved in subsets of human memory B cells and B cell lymphomas. Thus, specialized niches program the poised state and patrolling behavior of MZB cells via conserved Myc-dependent and Myc-independent Notch2-regulated mechanisms. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
