AHR drives the development of gut ILC22 cells and postnatal lymphoid tissues via pathways dependent on and independent of Notch
Open accessAbstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) of the ILC22 type protect the intestinal mucosa from infection by secreting interleukin 22 (IL-22). ILC22 cells include NKp46(+) and lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi)-like subsets that express the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Here we found that Ahr(-/-) mice had a considerable deficit in ILC22 cells that resulted in less secretion of IL-22 and inadequate protection against intestinal bacterial infection. Ahr(-/-) mice also lacked postnatally 'imprinted' cryptopatches and isolated lymphoid follicles (ILFs), but not embryonically 'imprinted' Peyer's patches. AHR induced the transcription factor Notch, which was required for NKp46(+) ILCs, whereas LTi-like ILCs, cryptopatches and ILFs were partially dependent on Notch signaling. Thus, AHR was essential for ILC22 cells and postnatal intestinal lymphoid tissues. Moreover, ILC22 subsets were heterogeneous in their requirement for Notch and their effect on the generation of intestinal lymphoid tissues.

“This idea has been supported and expanded upon recently as additional evidence emerges detailing missing or impaired populations of resident immune cells in adult null mice at barrier tissues like the lung, intestine, and skin (Esser & Rannug, 2015; Kiss et al., 2011; Lee et al., 2012; Li et al., 2018; Qiu et al., 2012; Stockinger et al., 2014).”

In the citing paper
“Ahr−/− mice suffer from multiple immunological deficits, including reduced resistance to infection with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes or Citrobacter rodentium, as well as the fungus Candida albicans; exacerbated DSS-induced colitis; and even altered susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)”

In the citing paper
“the AhR is in fact required for postnatal maintenance of IL-22-producing ILC3s, as well as the formation of isolated lymphoid follicles (Kiss et al., 2011; Lee et al., 2011; Y. Li et al., 2011; J. Qiu et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
