Core Binding Factor β Is Required For Group-2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Activation

ABSTRACT: Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are tissue-resident, long-lived innate effector cells implicated in allergy and asthma. Upon activation, mature ILC2 rapidly secret large amounts of type-2 cytokines and other effector molecules. The molecular pathways that drive ILC2 activation are not well understood. Here we report that the transcriptional controller Core-binding factor β (CBFβ) is required for ILC2 activation. Deletion or inhibition of CBFβ did not impair the maintenance of ILC2 at homeostasis, but abolished ILC2 activation during allergic airway inflammation. Treatment with CBFβ inhibitors prevented ILC2-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model of acute Alternaria allergen inhalation. CBFβ promoted expression of key ILC2 genes at both transcriptional and translational levels. CBF transcriptional complex directly bound to Il13 and Vegfa promoters and enhancers, and controlled gene transcription. CBFβ further promoted ribosome biogenesis and enhanced gene translation in activated ILC2. Together, these data establish an essential role for CBFβ in ILC2 activation.

Expression data from WT and KO of Myc in innate lymphoid cell 2 (ILC2) in mice

Project description:Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) serve crucial function in allergy and asthma. Activated ILC2 rapidly proliferate and secret large amounts of type-2 cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13. Mechanisms underlying still remain ambiguous. Here we report that Myc is required for ILC2 proliferation and activation in allergic airway inflammation. Inhibition of Myc impair the ILC2 proliferation in vivo and prevented ILC2-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness in vivo. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of different gene expression between WT and Myc KO in ILC2.

Iron controls the development of airway hyperreactivity by regulating ILC2 metabolism and effector function

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) rapidly induce a type 2 inflammation in the lungs in response to allergens. Here, we focused on the role of iron – a critical nutritional trace element – on ILC2 function and asthma pathogenesis. In the lungs, transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is rapidly upregulated and functional during ILC2 activation, while blocking transferrin uptake reduces ILC2 expansion and activation. Iron deprivation reprograms ILC2 metabolism, inducing a HIF-1a-driven upregulation of glycolysis and inhibition of oxidative mitochondrial activity. Consequently, in vivo iron chelation or induction of hypoferremia notably reduces the development of airway hyperreactivity in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s rapidly induce TfR1 during activation, while iron deprivation reduces effector functions. Finally, we found a negative relation between circulating ILC2 TfR1 expression and airway function in cohorts of patients with asthma. Collectively, our studies define cellular iron as a critical regulator of ILC2 function.

Blocking CD226 regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.

Unconventional ST2- and CD127-negative lung ILC2 populations are induced by Alternaria

Project description:Background: Alternaria exposure is associated with severe asthma in humans. Alternaria exposure in mice potently activates group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) via the IL-33/ST2 axis and causes ILC2s to robustly secrete type 2 cytokines. Objective: Our aim was to determine whether conventionally used ILC2 markers, ST2 (IL-33R) and CD127 (IL-7Ra), were sufficient to identify all Th2-cytokine producing ILCs after Alternaria exposure. Methods: Mice received intranasal Alternaria for three days prior to analysis. Lung ILCs were identified by flow cytometry as CD45+Lineage−Thy1.2+ lymphocyte-sized cells, divided into four subsets based on ST2 and CD127 expression, and stained for intracellular cytokines and transcription factors. Sort-purified ILC subpopulations were also analyzed by RNA sequencing and qPCR. Results: Alternaria exposure led to accumulation of all ILC populations regardless of ST2 or CD127 expression. Nearly half of the GATA-3+, IL-5+, and IL-13+ ILCs were “unconventional” as they were either single or double negative for ST2/CD127. Further, these populations upregulated CD25, KLRG1, and ICOS after Alternaria challenge. Some activated unconventional IL-5+ ILC2s also produced IFNγ and IL-17A. In addition to shared ILC2 transcripts (Gata3, Il5, Il13) in all populations, RNA-seq further identified novel transcripts enriched in each subset. Finally, transcripts from all populations that correlated best with IL-5 and IL-13 production included Tnfrsf18, Ffar2, and Pde4b. Conclusions: Unconventional ST2- and CD127-negative mouse lung ILC2 populations are induced by Alternaria. Thus, commonly used lung ILC2 identification methods based on ST2 and CD127 do not accurately account for the total ILC2 burden and may exclude nearly half of these cells.

Hypoxia Induces Lung Inflammation and Immunity by ILC2 through Stimulating Adrenomedullin from Epithelial Cells

Project description:Hypoxia contributes to airway inflammation and remodeling in several lung diseases; however, exactly how hypoxic pulmonary epithelium regulates allergic inflammation remains to be fully characterized. Here we report that conditional deletion of the E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL in lung epithelial cells resulted in exacerbated type 2 responses accompanied by selective increase of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) at steady state and following inflammation or helminth infection. Ablation of expression of the hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF2a significantly reversed VHL-mediated ILC2 activation. VHL deficiency in lung epithelial cells caused the increased expression of the peptide hormone adrenomedullin (ADM), and our data suggest HIF2a controls Adm expression. ADM directly promoted ILC2 activation both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicate that the hypoxic response mediated by the VHL-HIF2a axis is critical for control of pulmonary type 2 responses by increasing ADM expression in lung epithelia causing ILC2 activation.

Piezo1-mediated Mechanotransduction Shapes ILC2 Translational Activity, Functions, and Lung Pathogenicity

Project description:Group-2 innate-lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical mediators of the type-2 immune responses in multiple lung pathologies. We show that Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, plays a key role in regulating ILC2 functions by linking mechanical cues to biochemical signaling pathways. Both murine and human ILC2s strongly express Piezo1, and its activation by Yoda1 selectively enhances IL-13 production through calcium influx, which activates the mTOR-S6K pathway. This pathway leads to translational reprogramming, favoring IL-13 translation. Piezo1-deficient in ILC2s impairs this process, reducing IL-13 levels and resulting in attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in mouse models of IL-33- or Alternaria alternata-induced airway inflammation and bleomycin-induced fibrosis. These findings position Piezo1 as a critical mediator of ILC2-driven type-2 immune responses and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for lung diseases characterized by excessive inflammation. This streamlined understanding of Piezo1 function improves focus on its mechanistic role in lung pathology.

Tuft cell-produced cysteinyl leukotrienes and IL-25 synergistically promote lung type 2 inflammation

Project description:Aeroallergen sensing by airway epithelial cells can trigger pathogenic immune responses leading to chronic type 2 inflammation, the hallmark of airway diseases such as asthma. Airway tuft cells are specialized chemosensory epithelial cells and the dominant source of the epithelial cytokine IL-25 in the trachea and of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) in the naïve murine nasal mucosa. How IL-25 and CysLTs might cooperatively promote type 2 inflammation in the airways has not been clarified. Here, we showed that inhalation of LTC4 in combination with a subthreshold dose of IL-25 led to dramatic synergistic induction of type 2 inflammation throughout the lungs, causing rapid eosinophilia, inflammatory type 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) proliferation and type 2 cytokine production, dendritic cell (DC) and CD4+ T cell recruitment and goblet cell hyperplasia. While lung eosinophilia was dominantly mediated through the classical CysLT receptor CysLT1R, type 2 cytokines and activation of innate immune cells required signaling through both CysLT1R and CysLT2R. Tuft cell-specific deletion of Ltc4s, the terminal enzyme required for CysLT production, reduced lung inflammation and the systemic immune response after inhalation of the mold aeroallergen Alternaria; this effect was further enhanced by concomitant blockade of IL-25. Our findings identified a potent synergy of CysLTs and IL-25 downstream of aeroallergen-trigged activation of airway tuft cells leading to a highly polarized type 2 immune response and further implicate airway tuft cells as powerful modulators of type 2 immunity in the lungs.
