Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are lymphocyte-like cells that lack T cell or B cell antigen receptors and mediate protective and repair functions through cytokine secretion. Among these, type 2 ILCs (ILC2 cells) are able to produce type 2 cytokines. We report the existence of an inflammatory ILC2 (iILC2) population responsive to interleukin 25 (IL-25) that complemented IL-33-responsive natural ILC2 (nILC2) cells. iILC2 cells developed into nILC2-like cells in vitro and in vivo and contributed to the expulsion of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. They also acquired IL-17-producing ability and provided partial protection against Candida albicans. We propose that iILC2 cells are transient progenitors of ILCs mobilized by inflammation and infection that develop into nILC2-like cells or ILC3-like cells and contribute to immunity to both helminths and fungi.
固有淋巴细胞(ILC)是一类淋巴细胞样细胞,缺乏T细胞或B细胞抗原受体,并通过分泌细胞因子介导保护和修复功能。其中,2型ILC(ILC2细胞)能够产生2型细胞因子。我们报道了存在一种对白细胞介素25(IL-25)有反应的炎性ILC2(iILC2)群体,它补充了对IL-33有反应的天然ILC2(nILC2)细胞。iILC2细胞在体外和体内均可发育成nILC2样细胞,并有助于巴西日圆线虫的排出。它们还获得了产生IL-17的能力,并对白色念珠菌提供部分保护。我们提出,iILC2细胞是由炎症和感染动员的ILC的短暂祖细胞,可发育成nILC2样细胞或ILC3样细胞,并有助于对蠕虫和真菌的免疫。
