IL-33/ST2 signaling in ILC2s drives exhaustion and myeloid skewing of HSCs in response to hematopoietic stress and aging

Summary: Inflammatory cues affect hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis and drive proliferation and myeloid skewing of HSCs. The HSC niche in the bone marrow (BM) is populated by a variety of stromal and immune cells that sense and respond to cellular stress. We investigated how BM-resident type...

description Summary: Inflammatory cues affect hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis and drive proliferation and myeloid skewing of HSCs. The HSC niche in the bone marrow (BM) is populated by a variety of stromal and immune cells that sense and respond to cellular stress. We investigated how BM-resident type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) regulate HSC homeostasis and differentiation in steady state, during aging, and after genotoxic stress. We documented that PDGFR-α+sca-1+ mesenchymal stromal cells in the BM produced interleukin (IL)-33 with elevated levels after irradiation and during aging. IL-33/ST2 signaling in BM-resident ILC2s activated MAPK/NF-κB/JAK-STAT signaling and induced cytokine secretion. IL-6 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), secreted by ILC2s, promoted HSCs to proliferate and differentiate into the myeloid lineage. Taken together, we identified that IL-33 produced by MSCs induced ILC2s to secrete myeloid differentiation factors leading to myeloid-skewed HSCs with reduced self-renewal during aging.
