The skin is a dynamic organ with a complex immune network critical for maintaining balance and defending against various pathogens. Different types of cells in the skin, such as mast cells (MCs) and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), contribute to immune regulation and play essential roles in the early immune response to various triggers, including allergens. It is beneficial to dissect cell-to-cell interactions in the skin to elucidate the mechanisms underlying skin immunity. The current manuscript concentrates explicitly on the communication pathways between MCs and ILC2s in the skin, highlighting their ability to regulate immune responses, inflammation, and tissue repair. Furthermore, it discusses how the interactions between MCs and ILC2s play a crucial role in various skin conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, dermatological disorders, and allergic reactions. Understanding the complex interactions between MCs and ILC2s in different skin conditions is crucial to developing targeted treatments for related disorders. The discovery of shared pathways could pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions to restore immunological balance in diseased skin tissues.
皮肤是一个具有复杂免疫网络的动态器官,对于维持平衡和抵御各种病原体至关重要。皮肤中的不同类型的细胞,如肥大细胞(MCs)和 2 型固有淋巴细胞(ILC2s),有助于免疫调节,并在对各种触发因素(包括过敏原)的早期免疫反应中发挥重要作用。解析皮肤中细胞间的相互作用对于阐明皮肤免疫的机制是有益的。本手稿专门集中讨论皮肤中 MCs 和 ILC2s 之间的通讯途径,强调它们调节免疫反应、炎症和组织修复的能力。此外,它还讨论了 MCs 和 ILC2s 之间的相互作用如何在各种皮肤状况(如自身免疫性疾病、皮肤病和过敏反应)中发挥关键作用。了解 MCs 和 ILC2s 在不同皮肤状况下的复杂相互作用对于开发针对相关疾病的靶向治疗至关重要。发现共同途径可能为恢复患病皮肤组织的免疫平衡开辟新的治疗干预途径。
