ILC2s, in turn, restore homeostasis by inducing acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) in regenerating epithelial cells and promoting chitin degradation, epithelial differentiation, and inflammatory resolution. Mice lacking AMCase or ILC2s fail to clear chitin and exhibit increased mortality and impaired epithelial regeneration after injury. These effects are ameliorated by chitinase replacement therapy, demonstrating that chitin degradation is crucial for recovery after various forms of lung perturbation.
