“…Given their extensive roles in both immunity and inflammation, ILC2s are known to display dynamic expression of extracellular markers associated with pro-inflammatory functions, exemplified via variations in IL-33 receptor (ST2) and KLRG1 expression depending on the inflammatory signal initiating the primary response 13,34,35 . Moreover, the inflammation-dependent plasticity of ILC2s has been demonstrated in both mouse lungs and human peripheral blood, whereby stimulation with IL-1, IL-12 and IL-18 promotes ILC2s to adopt an ILC1-like transcriptional and functional profile associated with the expression of T-bet (Tbx21) and production of IFN- Similarly, human ILC2s, in response to IL-1 and IL-23 stimulation, transdifferentiate into a subset exhibiting ILC3-like characteristics, evidenced by upregulation of the ILC3 signature transcription factor RORt and production of IL-17 8,37 . ILC3s are a heterogeneous subset and contribute broad roles in combating against extracellular microbes, including fungi and bacteria, via the production of IL-17A and IL-22 following IL-1 and IL-23-mediated activation [38][39][40] . Representing the dominant ILC subset within the steady state siLP 41 , ILC3s are strictly reliant upon RORt (encoded by Rorc) expression for development and function 39,42,43 .…”
