The main finding about the potential therapeutic role of ILC2s in melanoma, AD and cutaneous type 2 inflammation.

Authors Target Disease Immunological Mechanism
Okuyama et al. [38] IL-33/ST2 interaction melanoma Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), once stimulated by interleukin (IL)-33 after binding with their ST2 receptor, play a tumor role activating CD8+ T-cell expression and infiltration into the tumor and inducing an unfavorable tumor environment.
Jacquelot et al. [36] PD1 melanoma Inhibition of programmed cell death protein (PD-1) results in increased total ILC2s number. High ILC2s infiltration in human melanoma is associated with a good clinical prognosis.
Wagner et al. [37] Lactic acid melanoma Acid lactic inhibits ILC2 proliferation and cytokine production, exerting immunosuppressive activity against ILC2s. Conversely. in knockdown lactate dehydrogenase A B16F10 melanomas (LDHAlow), the number of intratumoral ILC2s increased proportionally.
Ricardo-Gonzalez et al. [57] IL-18 Cutaneous type 2 inflammation
  • -

    Subpopulations of ILC2-expressing receptors for IL-18 are responsible for the most severe forms of allergic skin inflammation;

  • -

    Increased levels of IL-18 correlate with the severity of dermatitis;

  • -

    IL-18 and IL-33 action on ILC2s would appear to be closely related.

Numazaki et al. [64] TSLP Cutaneous inflammation In vitro study demonstrated that monoclonal anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) receptor antibodies managed to reduce both type 2 and non-type 2 inflammation.
Salimi et al. [74] NKp30 AD Cultured ILC2s subset expressing NKp30, after interaction with its activator ligand B7-H6, rapidly produce type 2 cytokines.
