Selective programming of CCR10(+) innate lymphoid cells in skin-draining lymph nodes for cutaneous homeostatic regulation
Open accessAbstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) 'preferentially' localize into barrier tissues, where they function in tissue protection but can also contribute to inflammatory diseases. The mechanisms that regulate the establishment of ILCs in barrier tissues are poorly understood. Here we found that under steady-state conditions, ILCs in skin-draining lymph nodes (sLNs) were continuously activated to acquire regulatory properties and high expression of the chemokine receptor CCR10 for localization into the skin. CCR10(+) ILCs promoted the homeostasis of skin-resident T cells and, reciprocally, their establishment in the skin required T cell-regulated homeostatic environments. CD207(+) dendritic cells expressing the transcription factor Foxn1 were required for the proper generation of CCR10(+) ILCs. These observations reveal mechanisms that underlie the specific programming and priming of skin-homing CCR10(+) ILCs in the sLNs.

FTY720 blocks migration of T cells and ILCs from circulation into the skin by impairing S1PR1-mediated signals.
“FTY720 blocks the migration of T cells and ILCs from circulation into the skin by impairing sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1)-mediated signals.18,19”
From Skin-resident T cells play an important role in controlling skin colonization of Candidozyma (Candida) auris (2026) · cites this paper as [19]
In Results (‘Predominant migration of CCR10+MHCII+ ILCs of sLN into the skin’; page unavailable), FTY720-treated mice had fewer CCR10+ ILCs and T cells in skin and more in skin-draining lymph nodes. This supports reduced skin presence of those cells, but the paper describes input from lymph nodes rather than directly demonstrating blocked migration from circulation, and it does not establish an S1PR1-mediated mechanism.

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.
