Rationale: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) robustly produce IL-5 and IL-13, cytolcines central to the asthma phenotype; however, the effect of prostaglandin (PG) I-2 on ILC2 function is unknown.Objectives: To determine the effect of PGI(2) on mouse and human ILC2 cytokine expression in vitro and the effect of endogenous PGI(2) and the PGI(2) analog cicaprost on lung ILC2s in vivo.Methods: Flow-sorted bone marrow ILC2s of wild-type (WT) and PGI(2) receptor-deficient (IP-/-) mice were cultured with IL-33 and treated with the PGI(2) analog cicaprost. WT and IP-/- mice were challenged intranasally with Alternaria alternata extract for 4 consecutive days to induce ILC2 responses, and these were quantified. Prior to A. alternata extract, challenged WT mice were treated with cicaprost. Human flow-sorted peripheral blood ILC2s were cultured with IL-33 and IL-2 and treated with the PGI(2) analog cicaprost.Measurement and Main Results: We demonstrate that PGI(2) inhibits IL-5 and IL-13 protein expression by IL-33-stimulated ILC2s purified from mouse bone marrow in a manner that was dependent on signaling through the PGI(2) receptor IP. In a mouse model of 4 consecutive days of airway challenge with an extract of A. alternata, a fungal aeroallergen associated with severe asthma exacerbations, endogenous PGI(2) signaling significantly inhibited lung IL-5 and IL-13 protein expression, and reduced the number of lung IL-5- and IL-13-expressing ILC2s, as well as the mean fluorescence intensity of IL-5 and IL-13 staining. In addition, exogenous administration of a PGI(2) analog inhibited Alternaria extract-induced lung IL-5 and IL-13 protein expression, and reduced the number of lung IL-5- and IL-13-expressing ILC2s and the mean fluorescence intensity of IL-5 and IL-13 staining. Finally, a PGI(2) analog inhibited IL-5 and IL-13 expression by human ILC2s that were stimulated with IL-2 and IL-33.Conclusions: These results suggest that PGI(2) may be a potential therapy to reduce the ILC2 response to protease-containing aeroallergens, such as Alternaria.
