Abstract

The innate and adaptive immune systems regulate inflammation in arthritis. The innate immune system works as one of the “first responders” against the invasion of pathogens, followed by adaptive immunity activation. The cross-talk between innate and adaptive immune cells has protective roles against pathogens and induces immunological responses. Recently, a new type of innate immune cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), was discovered; it was found that they play a profound role in immunological responses. ILCs function closely with T helper cells, depending on their respective subsets. In this chapter, we mainly focus on one subset, type 2 ILCs (ILC2s), and review their role in inflammatory arthritis and bone homeostasis.
