The germinal center (GC) is divided into a dark zone (DZ) and a light zone (LZ).
GC B cells must cycle between these zones to achieve efficient Ab affinity
maturation. Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are well characterized for their
role in supporting B cell Ag encounter in primary follicles and in the GC LZ.
However, the properties of stromal cells supporting B cells in the DZ are
relatively unexplored. Recent work identified a novel stromal population of
Cxcl12-expressing reticular cells (CRCs) in murine GC DZs. In this article, we
report that CRCs have diverse morphologies, appearing in open and closed
networks, with variable distribution in lymphoid tissue GCs. CRCs are also
present in splenic and peripheral lymph node primary follicles. Real-time
two-photon microscopy of Peyer's patch GCs demonstrates B cells moving in close
association with CRC processes. CRCs are gp38(+) with low to undetectable
expression of FDC markers, but CRC-like cells in the DZ are lineage marked, along
with FDCs and fibroblastic reticular cells, by CD21-Cre- and Ccl19-Cre-directed
fluorescent reporters. In contrast to FDCs, CRCs do not demonstrate dependence on
lymphotoxin or TNF for chemokine expression or network morphology. CRC
distribution in the DZ does require CXCR4 signaling, which is necessary for GC B
cells to access the DZ and likely to interact with CRC processes. Our findings
establish CRCs as a major stromal cell type in the GC DZ and suggest that CRCs
support critical activities of GC B cells in the DZ niche through Cxcl12
expression and direct cell-cell interactions.
