Learn MoreCurrent models propose that group 2 innate lymphoid cells are generated in the bone marrow. Here we demonstrate that subsets of these cells can differentiate from multipotent progenitors and committed T cell precursors in the thymus, both in vivo and in vitro. These thymic ILC2s can exit the thymus, circulate in the blood and home to peripheral tissues. Ablation of E protein transcription factors greatly promotes the innate lymphoid cell fate at the expense of B and T cell development. Consistently, a transcriptional network centered on the ZBTB16 transcription factor and IL-4 signaling pathway is highly up-regulated due to E protein deficiency. Our results show that ILC2 can still be generated from what are normally considered to be committed T cell precursors, and that this alternative cell fate is restrained by high levels of E protein activity in these cells.
