CXCR1 Depletion in Ly6C+ cDC2 Alleviates Acute Lung Injury via Modulation of Th17/Treg Balance
Pro‐inflammatory Ly6C⁺ cDC2s are identified as key effector cells mediating Cxcr1 signaling, driving the progression of ALI. Ly6C⁺ cDC2s release high levels of Il‐6 and Il‐1β, inducing Th17 differentiation. Cxcr1 deficiency reduces Il‐6 and Il‐1β production from Ly6C⁺ cDC2s through suppressing MEK1/ERK /NF‐κB signaling, thereby shifts naïve T cells ...
