Abstract: The present invention provides novel compositions and methods based on the discovery of the mechanisms and gene expression programs associated with homeostatic ILC2s and proinflammatory ILC2s that drive tissue inflammation. Immune signaling abnormalities in the small intestine can trigger chronic type 2 inflammation. Applicants analyzed 58,067 immune cells from the mouse small intestine by single-cell RNA-seq at steady state and after induction of a type 2 inflammatory reaction to ovalbumin. Cell type composition and cell programs shifted in response to inflammation, especially in ILC2s. A key transcript in the inflammation-induced program in intestinal KLRG1+ ILC2s was exon 5 of Calca, encoding the alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide (a-CGRP). a-CGRP antagonized IL-25 -induced activation of intestinal ILC2s and reduced their frequency in an ovalbumin reaction model. α-CGRP activated a cAMP response, which suppressed ILC2 proliferation. In homeostasis, α-CGRP was expressed by two subsets of ChAT+ enteric neurons, and genetic perturbation of α-CGRP increased the proportion of intestinal ILC2s and of Tuft cells. The results demonstrate that a-CGRP-mediated neuronal signaling suppresses ILC2 expansion and maintains type 2 immunity homeostasis.

Abstract: This application provides a precoding matrix indication method and a related device. In the method, a transmit end can group K combination coefficients based on an amplitude value of each of the K combination coefficients, to obtain Q combination coefficient groups, and determine a phase value of each combination coefficient in each combination coefficient group. The amplitude value of each combination coefficient is determined by using a same amplitude quantization bit quantity and a same amplitude quantization rule, so that the transmit end does not need to additionally indicate a grouping status of the K combination coefficients. In addition, phase quantization bit quantities and/or phase quantization rules used by at least two of the Q combination coefficient groups are different, thereby facilitating use of different phase quantization precision based on different degrees of impact of different combination coefficient groups on performance, and further helping minimize a system performance loss caused by quantization of the combination coefficients while reducing reporting overheads of the foregoing combination coefficients.
