PPARɣ drives IL-33-dependent ILC2 pro-tumoral functions
Abstract
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a component of type 2 immune response recently described to be involved in the regulation of anti-tumor immune responses. Here, the authors show that the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAPγ) in human and mouse ILC2 sustains type-2 cytokines secretion and support their pro-tumorigenic role in preclinical cancer models.
