Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play important roles in regulating tissue homeostasis and innate immune responses. Generation of ILCs after engraftment of pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived hematopoietic progenitors (iHPCs) has not yet been reported. Here, we document that ILCs exist inRag2−/−Il2rg−/−recipients engrafted with PSC-derived iHPCs guided byRunx1andHoxa9expression. Upon transplantation, iHPCs immediately give rise to ILC-related progenitors containing common helper ILC progenitors in the bone marrow, followed by a more restricted population named ILC progenitors, which are able to further differentiate into mature ILCs in the primary and secondary immunodeficient recipients. The PSC-derived ILCs exhibit multiple tissue distributions and normal immunological functions. Single-cell transcriptomics illustrates the developmental trajectory of PSC-derived ILCsin vivo, which is consistent with that of natural ILCs. Our study provides insights into the generation of ILCs in animals transplanted with PSC-derived iHPCs as a cell source.
