Naïve cardiac ILCs are an ILC type-2 committed population. (A) PLZF/Ki67 activation pattern of ILCs under different in vitro conditions: Media, IL-2+IL-7, IL-2+IL-7+IL-12 (to induce ILC1s), IL-2+IL-7+IL-33 (to induce ILC2s) and IL-2+IL-7+IL-23 (to induce ILC3s). (B) Flow cytometry plots show ILC1 (blue) and ILC3 (transparent red) differentiation under different conditions, based on Rorγt and Tbet expression. (C) Plots show undifferentiated ILCs (transparent orange) and ILC2s (gray) compartments after in vitro stimulation, based on KLRG1 and ST2 expression. (D) Comparison of PLZF+Ki67+ activated population in different conditions. (E) Comparison of different ILC subpopulations after in vitro stimulation. (F) Comparison of cytokine profile determined by ELISA under different stimulating conditions. In F, ***indicates significance of both bars with respect to all other conditions. Flow cytometry plots show median representative examples. Graphics show results of 1 of 4 independent experiments, each one made in triplicates for each condition. Bar graphs shows Mean and SD. Statistics calculated with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
