Runx/Cbfβ complexes protect group 2 innate lymphoid cells from exhausted-like hyporesponsiveness during allergic airway inflammation
Abstract
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are important mediators for allergy, but how ILC2 are regulated under chronic inflammation is still unclear. Here the authors show that Runx transcription factors, which normally suppresses ILC2 activation at steady state, help promote ILC2 activation and type 2 cytokine production in lung allergy mouse models.
