Platelets are thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of asthma, presumably through direct adhesion to inflammatory cells, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Here, we tried to elucidate the effects of platelet adhesion to ILC2s in vitro and in vivo, as well as the mechanisms involved. Alternaria-induced ILC2-dependent airway inflammation models using wild-type and c-mpl-/- mice were evaluated. Both purified CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were cultured with IL-2 and IL-33 to determine in vitro Type 2 (T2) cytokine production and cell proliferation. RNA-seq data of flow-cytometry-sorted CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were used to isolate ILC2-specific genes. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the expression of CD41 and adhesion-related molecules on ILC2s in both mouse and human tissues. T2 inflammation and T2 cytokine production from ILC2s were significantly reduced in the c-mpl-/- mice compared to wild-type mice. Platelet-adherent ILC2s underwent significant proliferation and showed enhanced T2 cytokine production when exposed to IL-2 and IL-33. The functions of ILC2-specific genes were related to cell development and function. Upstream regulator analysis identified 15 molecules, that are thought to be involved in ILC2 activation. CD41 expression levels were higher in ILC2s from human PBMCs and mouse lung than in those from secondary lymphoid tissues, but they did not correlate with the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 or CD24 expression level. Platelets spontaneously adhere to ILC2s, probably in the peripheral blood and airways, thereby potentiating ILC2s to enhance their responses to IL-33.

D007249	Inflammation	A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

D008168	Lung	Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.	Lungs
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D000067596	Interleukin-33	A member of the INTERLEUKIN-1 protein family involved in the maturation of TH2 CELLS and the activation of MAST CELLS; BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS and NK CELLS. It is also produced by ENDOTHELIAL CELLS; EPITHELIAL CELLS and FIBROBLASTS; where it can function as an alarmin to modulate immune and inflammatory responses to tissue damage.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016207	Cytokines	Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner.	Cytokine
