Dupilumab Effects on Innate Lymphoid Cell and Helper T Cell Populations in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). IL-4 stimulates T helper type 2 (Th2) cells and ILC2s to proliferate and produce cytokines. Dupilumab, an antibody against the IL-4 receptor, is used in AD therapy. We speculated that its efficacy might involve blocking the activation of Th2 cells and ILC2s via IL-4. Here, we examined circulating Th2 cells and ILC2s in 27 Japanese patients with AD before and after the administration of dupilumab. Between 0 and 4 months after dupilumab administration, the percentages of Th2 cells and ILC2s were decreased. Notably, ILC2/3 ratio was decreased after dupilumab treatment. Interestingly, ILC2/3 ratio before dupilumab treatment were significantly higher in high responders than in low responders to dupilumab. To resolve the molecular signatures of the Th2 and ILC2s in AD, we sorted CD4+ T cells and ILCs from peripheral blood and analyzed their transcriptomes using the BD Rhapsody Single-cell RNA sequencing system. Between 0 and 4 months after dupilumab administration, the Th2 and ILC2 cluster gene signatures were downregulated. Thus, dupilumab might improve dermatitis by suppressing the Th2 cell and ILC2 populations and altering the Th2 and ILC2 repertoire in patients with AD. Keywords: AD, atopic dermatitis; ILC, innate lymphoid cell; Th, T helper type; scRNA-seq, single-cell RNA sequencing.
