In this study, we investigated the contribution of JAK2 and its underlying mechanisms in ARDS utilizing myeloid-specific JAK2 knockout murine models alongside a pharmacological JAK2 inhibitor. Notably, myeloid-specific JAK2 knockout led to a notable attenuation of ARDS induced by intratracheal administration of LPS, accompanied by reduced levels of neutrophils and inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue. Intriguingly, the ameliorative effects were abolished upon the depletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (Mo-AMs) rather than tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (TR-AMs). JAK2 deficiency markedly reversed LPS-induced activation of STAT5 in macrophages. Remarkably, pharmacological JAK2 inhibition using baricitinib failed to substantially alleviate neutrophils infiltration, implying that specific inhibition of JAK2 in Mo-AMs is imperative for ARDS amelioration. Collectively, our data suggest that JAK2 may mitigate ARDS progression through the JAK2 pathway in Mo-AMs, underscoring JAK2 in alveolar macrophages, particularly Mo-AMs, as a promising therapeutic target for ARDS treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18877,"journal":{"name":"Mucosal Immunology","volume":"17 6","pages":"Pages 1273-1284"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142036439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research, along with others’, indicates a high proportion of LTi cells in the fetal ILC pool, which significantly decreases after birth. Conversely, the proportion of non-LTi ILCs increases postnatally, corresponding to the need for LTi cells to mediate lymphoid tissue formation during fetal stages and other ILC subsets to combat diverse pathogen infections postnatally. However, the regulatory mechanism for this transition remains unclear. In this study, we observed a preference for fetal ILC progenitors to differentiate into LTi cells, while postnatal bone marrow ILC progenitors preferentially differentiate into non-LTi ILCs. Particularly, this differentiation shift occurs within the first week after birth in mice. Further analysis revealed that adult ILC progenitors exhibit stronger activation of the Notch signaling pathway compared to fetal counterparts, accompanied by elevated <em>Gata3</em> expression and decreased <em>Rorc</em> expression, leading to a transition from fetal LTi cell-dominant states to adult non-LTi ILC-dominant states.
