Transcriptional and metabolomic regulation of IL-10 in pulmonary ILC2s

Abstract ILC2s are the dominant innate lymphoid cell population in the lungs at steady state and their release of type-2 cytokines is a central driver in responding eosinophil infiltration, increased airway hyperreactivity and associated lung tissue injury. Previously, our laboratory identified a subset of ILC2s (ILC210s) that actively produce and secrete IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine with the ability to ameliorate allergic lung inflammation signaling (J Allergy Clin Immunol., 2020). Importantly, these results have been confirmed by other groups in a variety of allergic disease models (J Exp Med., 2020, Immunity, 2021). The proposed research plan is motivated by recent preliminary…
