Enrichment of type I interferon signaling in colonic group 2 innate lymphoid cells in experimental colitis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are enriched in colonic tissues, but their precise role under intestinal inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) other than helminth infection, is poorly understood. Here, we analysed global gene expression of colonic ILC2 in healthy and colitis mice and found that type I interferon (T1IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) are enriched in ILC2 under DSS-induced colitis. Enhancement of T1IFN signaling in ILC2 under DSS-induced colitis were correlated to downregulation in cytokine production of ILC2, such as IL-5. Blocking T1IFN signaling during colitis resulted in exaggeration of colitis both in wild-type and Rag2-deficient mice. Collectively, these findings show the potential roles of T1IFN in ILC2 contributing to the development of colitis.
