Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Induction of Obesity

Abstract: Complex interactions between immune cells are an important component in the induction of obesity. Here, we show that Il2rg À/À Rag2 À/À mice lacking all lymphocytes are resistant to diet-induced obesity. Transplantation of bone marrow cells from Rag2 À/À mice, which lack only acquired immune cells, into Il2rg À/À Rag2 À/À mice abolishes this resistance, indicating a role for innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in this process. Mice lacking ILC2 or ILC3 cells, but not natural killer cells, are resistant to obesity. Ad… Show more

“…However, because of the heterogeneity of group 1 ILCs present in the adipose tissue, the contribution of other tissue-resident group 1 ILCs in obesity-associated insulin resistance remained unknown from these studies. Although recent data indicate a protective role of white adipose tissue ILC2s during homeostasis, ILC2s and ILC3s from the small intestine, but not from white adipose tissue, were found to promote weight gain and insulin resistance during diet-induced obesity in mice [106]. These results suggest that the individual roles of tissue-specific and circulating subsets of ILCs need to be taken into account during obesity.…”

“…ILC2s provide the first line of defense against helminths and protect the integrity of the epithelium (Artis and Spits, 2015). They are also implicated in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis (Brestoff et al, 2015;Sasaki et al, 2019). Notably, dysregulation of ILC2s has been associated with the development of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (Cephus et al, 2017;Ealey et al, 2017;Ebbo et al, 2017).…”

“…Future studies are needed to explore the tissue-specific programing of ILC2s in various organs and tissues. A recent study showed that DR3 is expressed on intestinal ILCs, and another group has reported that intestinal ILC2s contribute to T2DM and obesity in mice 60,61 . Here we demonstrate that DR3 agonistic treatment is an effective method for amelioration of T2DM regardless of the differences among various tissue resident ILC2s.…”
