Lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)/LTi-like cells are critical for lymphoid organogenesis and regulation of adaptive immunity in various tissues. However, the maintenance and regulation mechanisms of LTi-like cells among different tissues are not clear yet. Here, we find that LTi-like cells from different tissues display heterogeneity. The maintenance of LTi-like cells in the mesenteric lymph node (mLN), but not the gut, requires RANKL signaling from CD4 T cells. LTi-like cells from the mLN, but not the gut, could in turn inhibit the development of T follicular helper cells and subsequent humoral responses during intestinal immunization in an ID2- and PD-L1-dependent manner. Together, our findings implicate that the interaction between LTi-like cells and T cells in the mLN could precisely control the intestinal mucosal adaptive immune response.

The generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) through interactions with antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is essential for establishing tolerance to gut commensals. Recent findings highlight the critical role of RORγt-lineage APCs, especially in gut-associated lymphoid tissues, in the induction of microbiota-specific peripheral Tregs and maintaining gut immune homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
- * Deleting the Mir142 gene leads to changes in intestinal ILC populations, notably missing T-bet cells and altering ILC3 characteristics, which is linked to reduced colitis severity and impaired development of gut-associated lymphoid tissues.
- * The research identifies miR-142 as a key regulator in ILC3s, impacting their cellular behavior in the gut, while also increasing IL-17A production when Mir142 is absent, highlighting its critical role in intestinal immune responses.
RIPK3 and caspase-8 interpret cytokine signals to regulate ILC3 survival in the gut.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are abundant in the developing or healthy intestine to critically support tissue homeostasis in response to microbial colonization. However, intestinal ILC3s are reduced during chronic infections, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the mechanisms driving these alterations remain poorly understood. Here we employed RNA sequencing of ILC3s from IBD patients and observed a significant upregulation of RIPK3, the central regulator of necroptosis, during intestinal inflammation.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident effector cells with roles in tissue homeostasis, protective immunity, and inflammatory disease. Group 3 ILCs (ILC3s) are classically defined by the master transcription factor RORγt. However, ILC3 can be further subdivided into subsets that share type 3 effector modules that exhibit significant ontological, transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional heterogeneity.

Article Synopsis
- Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are essential for immunity and tissue health in the gut, remaining mostly stable throughout adulthood without frequent replacement.
- Despite facing infections, these cells show low turnover and maintain a non-proliferative state, relying on their ability to produce cytokines.
- Their survival hinges on a balance of metabolic activity and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, with the pro-survival protein Bcl-2 being crucial, although its role can be lessened if mitochondrial respiration is disrupted.
