PAC1 constrains type 2 inflammation through promotion of CGRP signaling in ILC2s.

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) plays an important role in the development of type 2 inflammation-related diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Notably, neural signals are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators of ILC2s. However, how ILC2s intrinsically modulate their responsiveness to these neural signals is still largely unknown. Here, using single-cell RNA-Seq, we found that the immune-regulatory molecule phosphatase of activated cells 1 (PAC1) selectively promoted the signaling of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in ILC2s in a cell-intrinsic manner. Genetic ablation of PAC1 in ILC2s substantially impaired the inhibitory effect of CGRP on proliferation and IL-13 secretion. PAC1 deficiency significantly exacerbated allergic air
