ABSTRACT
Type Ⅱ innate lymphoid cells is an emerging family of innate lymphocytes mainly distributed in mucosal tissues such as the lungs,intestines,skin,etc.These cells are capable of producing Th2-type cytokines including IL-5 and IL-13 in response to IL-25 and IL-33.ILC2s has attracted much attention for its important roles in anti-infection immunity and allergic diseases in respiratory tract.Studies have shown that ILC2s represented a crucial source of Th2-type cytokines and could regulate the adaptive immune response in allergic airway diseases.Meanwhile,ILC2s was able to fulfill vital functions in parasite clearance, anti-virus infection and subsequent tissue repair.Therefore,research in ILC2s phenotype,development and function has great practical significance.This paper reviews the definition, classification, developmental regulation of ILC2s with a particular focus on its role in respiratory mucosal homeostasis and lung-related diseases.
