Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) sense environmental signals and are critical for tissue integrity in the intestine. Yet, which signals are sensed and what receptors control ILC3 function remain poorly understood. Here, we show that ILC3s with a lymphoid-tissue-inducer (LTi) phenotype expressed G-protein-coupled receptor 183 (GPR183) and migrated to its oxysterol ligand 7α,25-hydroxycholesterol (7α,25-OHC). In mice lacking Gpr183 or 7α,25-OHC, ILC3s failed to localize to cryptopatches (CPs) and isolated lymphoid follicles (ILFs). Gpr183 deficiency in ILC3s caused a defect in CP and ILF formation in the colon, but not in the small intestine. Localized oxysterol production by fibroblastic stromal cells provided an essential signal for colonic lymphoid tissue development, and inflammation-induced increased oxysterol production caused colitis through GPR183-mediated cell recruitment. Our findings show that GPR183 promotes lymphoid organ development and indicate that oxysterol-GPR183-dependent positioning within tissues controls ILC3 activity and intestinal homeostasis.

Background: Despite endothelial dysfunction being an initial step in the development of hypertension and associated cardiovascular/renal injuries, effective therapeutic strategies to prevent endothelial dysfunction are still lacking. GPR183 (G protein-coupled receptor 183), a recently identified G protein-coupled receptor for oxysterols and hydroxylated metabolites of cholesterol, has pleiotropic roles in lipid metabolism and immune responses. However, the role of GPR183 in the regulation of endothelial function remains unknown.

The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a pivotal role in numerous biological processes as crucial cell membrane receptors. However, the dynamic mechanisms underlying the activation of GPR183, a specific GPCR, remain largely elusive. To address this, we employed computational simulation techniques to elucidate the activation process and key events associated with GPR183, including conformational changes from inactive to active state, binding interactions with the G protein complex, and GDP release.

Methionine (Met) can activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) to promote milk synthesis in mammary epithelial cells. However, it is largely unknown which G protein-coupled receptor can mediate the stimulation of Met on mTOR activation. In this study, we employed transcriptome sequencing to analyse which G protein-coupled receptors were associated with the role of Met and further used gene function study approaches to explore the role of G protein-coupled receptor 183 (GPR183) in Met stimulation on mTOR activation in HC11 cells.

Vitiligo is a common immune-related depigmentation condition, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study used a combination of bioinformatics methods and expression analysis techniques to explore the relationship between immune cell infiltration and gene expression in vitiligo. Previously reported gene expression microarray data from the skin (GSE53146 and GSE75819) and peripheral blood (GSE80009 and GSE90880) of vitiligo patients and healthy controls was used in the analysis.
