UHPLC/MS-based metabolomics of asthmatic mice reveals metabolic changes in group 2 innate lymphoid cells

Helper Th2-type immune responses are essential in allergic airway diseases, including asthma and allergic rhinitis. Recent studies have indicated that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of asthma. However, the metabolic profile of ILC2s and their regulatory mechanisms in asthma remain unclear. Therefore, we established two asthma mouse models: an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model and an IL-33-induced asthma model. We then used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) to conduct high-throughput untargeted metabolic analysis of ILC2s in the lung tissues of the asthma models. The identified metabolites primarily consisted of lipids, lipid-like molecules, benzene, organic acids, derivatives, and organic oxidation compounds. Specifically, 34 differentially accumulated metabolites influenced the metabolic profiles of the control and OVA-induced asthma model groups. Moreover, the accumulation of 39 metabolites significantly differed between the Interleukin 33 (IL-33) and control groups. These differentially accumulated metabolites were mainly involved in pathways such as sphingolipid, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid metabolism. This metabolomic study revealed, for the first time, the key metabolites and metabolic pathways of ILC2s, revealing new aspects of cellular metabolism in the context of airway inflammation. These findings not only contribute to unraveling the pathogenesis of asthma but also provide a crucial theoretical foundation for the future development of therapeutic strategies targeting ILC2s.
