  • Publication number: 20220143148
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel compositions and methods based on the discovery of the mechanisms and gene expression programs associated with homeostatic ILC2s and proinflammatory ILC2s that drive tissue inflammation. Immune signaling abnormalities in the small intestine can trigger chronic type 2 inflammation. Applicants analyzed 58,067 immune cells from the mouse small intestine by single-cell RNA-seq at steady state and after induction of a type 2 inflammatory reaction to ovalbumin. Cell type composition and cell programs shifted in response to inflammation, especially in ILC2s. A key transcript in the inflammation-induced program in intestinal KLRG1+ILC2s was exon 5 of Calca, encoding the alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide (a-CGRP). a-CGRP antagonized IL-25-induced activation of intestinal ILC2s and reduced their frequency in an ovalbumin reaction model. ?-CGRP activated a cAMP response, which suppressed ILC2 proliferation.

  • Publication number: 20210386829
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel compositions and methods based on the discovery of the mechanisms and gene expression programs associated with homeostatic ILC2s and proinflammatory ILC2s that drive tissue inflammation. Molecular cues were identified that modulate ILC responses to alarmins using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) profiles of lung-resident ILCs at steady state and after in vivo stimulation. The neuropeptide CGRP and the CGRP receptor were identified as expressed on ILC2s. Treatment with CGRP reduces allergic lung inflammation and reduces the proliferation and expansion of ILC2 cells. The results demonstrate that CGRP signaling strongly modulates ILC2 responses and highlights the importance of neuro-immune crosstalk in allergic inflammatory responses at mucosal surfaces.
