role of innate lymphoid cells in lung disease

چکیده
innate lymphoid cells (ilcs) are identified as novel population of hematopoietic cells which protect the body by coordinating the innate immune response against a wide range of threats including infections, tissue damages and homeostatic disturbances. ilcs, particularly ilc2 cells, are found throughout the body including the brain. ilcs are morphologically similar to lymphocytes, express and release high levels of t-helper (th)1, th2 and th17 cytokines but do not express classical cell-surface markers that are associated with other immune cell lineages.three types of ilcs (ilc1, 2&3) have been reported depending upon the cytokines produced. ilc1 cells encompass natural killer (nk) cells and interferon (ifn)-g releasing cells; ilc2 cells release the th2 cytokines, il-5, il-9 and il-13 in response to il-25 and il-33; and ilc3 cells which release il-17 and il-22. ilc2 cells have been implicated in mucosal reactions occurring in animal models of allergic asthma and virus-induced lung disorders resulting in the regulation of airway remodeling and tissue homeostasis.there is evidence for increased ilc2 cell numbers in allergic responses in man but little is known about the role of ilcs in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). further understanding of the characteristics of ilcs such as their origin, location and phenotypes and function would help to clarify the role of these cells in the pathogenesis of various lung diseases.in this review we will focus on the role of ilc2 cells and consider their origin, function, location and possible role in the pathogenesis of the chronic inflammatory disorders such as asthma and copd.

متن کاملRole of innate lymphoid cells in obesity and metabolic disease
The immune system has previously been demonstrated to be associated with the pathophysiological development of metabolic abnormalities. However, the mechanisms linking immunity to metabolic disease remain to be fully elucidated. It has previously been suggested that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) may be involved in the progression of numerous types of metabolic diseases as these cells act as supp...
متن کاملInnate lymphoid cells in immunity and disease.
The family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprises of natural killer (NK) cells, Rorγt-dependent ILCs (lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells, ILC22, and ILC17), and type 2 ILCs. Apart from a common requirement for inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (Id2) expression and common γ-chain (γc) signaling, the differentiation of ILC populations is regulated by distinct transcription factors. ILCs play fundame...
متن کاملThe origin and role of innate lymphoid cells in the lung
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), a newly identified member of the lymphoid population, play a critical role in the transition from innate to adaptive immunity in host defense. ILCs are important in mucosal barrier immunity, tissue homeostasis, and immune regulation throughout the body. Significant alterations in ILC responses in lung diseases have been observed and reported. Emerging evidence has ...
متن کاملRole of group 3 innate lymphoid cells in antibody production
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) constitute a heterogeneous family of effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that mediate lymphoid organogenesis, tissue repair, immunity and inflammation. The initial view that ILCs exert their protective functions solely during the innate phase of an immune response has been recently challenged by evidence indicating that ILCs shape adaptive immunity by e...
