Summary: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are key players in type 2 immunity, but whether they can be directly activated by microbial ligands remain uncertain. In this study, we observed a positive correlation between blood endotoxin (LPS) levels and circulating ILC2s in allergic patients. In vitro, LPS robustly induced ILC2 proliferation and production of type 2 effector cytokines. RNA-seq revealed a type 2 immune-responsive profile in LPS-stimulated ILC2s. Notably, ILC2s lost their LPS-mediated growth and activation capacity when treated with TLR4 receptor antagonists and inhibitors of the NF-κB and JAK pathways, though this effect was not observed with IL-33 receptor blocking antibodies. Genetically, ILC2s from TLR4 knockout (KO) mice, but not from ST2 KO mice, were unresponsive to LPS. Collectively, these findings suggest a direct, non-canonical activation mechanism of ILC2s via the LPS-TLR4-NF-κB/JAK signaling axis. |
