Immunoglobulin (Ig)A contributes to the homeostatic balance between host and the intestinal microbiota. Mechanisms that initiate the IgA response are unclear and likely to differ between humans and animal models. We used multiple experimental approaches to investigate the origin of the human intestinal plasma cells that produce IgA in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The complexity of IgA-producing plasma cell populations in human GI mucosa and bone marrow and the specific response to oral cholera vaccine were compared by analysis of Ig genes. Flow cytometry, gene expression analysis, and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze signaling pathways induced by B-cell receptor (BCR) engagement in human gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and the involvement of innate immunity in B-cell activation in GALT, compared with non-intestinal sites. Human intestinal IgA-producing plasma cells appeared to be of germinal center origin; there was no evidence for the population complexity that accompanies the multiple pathways of derivation observed in bone marrow. In germinal center B cells of human GALT, Btk and Erk are phosphorylated, CD22 is downregulated, Lyn is translocated to the cell membrane, and Fos and Jun are upregulated; these features indicate BCR ligation during germinal center evolution. No differences in innate activation of B cells were observed in GALT, compared with peripheral immune compartments. IgA-producing plasma cells appear to be derived from GALT germinal centers in humans. BCR engagement promotes formation of germinal centers of GALT, with no more evidence for innate immune receptor activation in the mucosa than non-intestinal immune compartments. Germinal centers in GALT should be the targets of mucosal vaccinations because they are the source of the human intestinal IgA response.
