Lymphocyte activation involves a transition from quiescence and associated catabolic metabolism to a metabolic state with noted similarities to cancer cells such as heavy reliance on aerobic glycolysis for energy demands and increased nutrient requirements for biomass accumulation and cell division 1-3 . Following antigen receptor ligation, lymphocytes require spatiotemporally distinct "second signals". These include costimulatory receptor or cytokine signaling, which engage discrete programs that often involve remodeling of organelles and increased nutrient uptake or synthesis to meet changing biochemical demands 4-6 . One such signaling molecule, IL-4, is a highly pleiotropic cytokine that was first identified as a B cell co-mitogen over 30 years ago 7 . However, how IL-4 signaling mechanistically supports B cell proliferation is incompletely understood. Here, using single cell RNA sequencing we find that the cholesterol biosynthetic program is transcriptionally upregulated following IL-4 signaling during the early B cell response to influenza virus infection, and is required for B cell activation in vivo . By limiting lipid availability in vitro , we determine cholesterol to be essential for B cells to expand their endoplasmic reticulum, progress through cell cycle, and proliferate. In sum, we demonstrate that the well-known ability of IL-4 to act as a B cell growth factor is through a previously unknown rewiring of specific lipid anabolic programs, relieving sensitivity of cells to environmental nutrient availability. |
