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 | 
 | 
| 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. |
