HuR Regulates GATA3-Driven Type 2 Inflammation in CD4⁺ T cells and ILC2 in Airway Inflammation

T cells, KH3 accelerated GATA3 mRNA decay with minimal effects on RORC or TBX21 and selectively reduced Th2 cytokine secretion, while IL10 and IL2 were unchanged. Similarly, ILC2s isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of type 2 high asthmatic donors showed reduced GATA3 mRNA stability and diminished Th2 cytokine production following KH3 treatment. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after allergen challenge demonstrated co-enrichment of ELAVL1 and GATA3 within Th2 clusters in human airways. Together, these findings identify HuR as a post-transcriptional regulator of GATA3 driven type 2 inflammation in allergic asthma.

Abstract

T cells, KH3 accelerated GATA3 mRNA decay with minimal effects on RORC or TBX21 and selectively reduced Th2 cytokine secretion, while IL10 and IL2 were unchanged. Similarly, ILC2s isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of type 2 high asthmatic donors showed reduced GATA3 mRNA stability and diminished Th2 cytokine production following KH3 treatment. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after allergen challenge demonstrated co-enrichment of ELAVL1 and GATA3 within Th2 clusters in human airways. Together, these findings identify HuR as a post-transcriptional regulator of GATA3 driven type 2 inflammation in allergic asthma.
