Both innate and adaptive immunity contribute to the inflammation of IBD and innate and adaptive immune cells reciprocally activate each other in a forward feedback loop. In order to better understand innate immune contributions to IBD, we developed a model of spontaneous 100% penetrant, early onset colitis that occurs in the absence of adaptive immunity by crossing villin-TNFAIP3 mice to RAG1\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    mice (TRAG mice). This model is driven by microbes and features increased levels of innate lymphoid cells in the intestinal mucosa. To investigate the role of type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) in the innate colitis of TRAG mice, we crossed them to retinoid orphan receptor gamma t deficient (Ror\u03b3t\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) mice. Ror\u03b3t\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    x TRAG mice exhibited markedly reduced eosinophilia in the colonic mucosa, but colitis persisted in these mice. Colitis in Ror\u03b3t\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    x TRAG mice was characterized by increased infiltration of the intestinal mucosa by neutrophils, inflammatory monocytes, macrophages and other innate cells. RNA and cellular profiles of Ror\u03b3t\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    x TRAG mice were consistent with a lack of ILC3 and ILC3 derived cytokines, reduced antimicrobial factors, increased activation oof epithelial repair processes and reduced activation of epithelial cell STAT3. The colitis in Ror\u03b3t\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    x TRAG mice was ameliorated by antibiotic treatment indicating that microbes contribute to the ILC3-independent colitis of these mice. Together, these gene expression and cell signaling signatures reflect the double-edged sword of ILC3 in the intestine, inducing both proinflammatory and antimicrobial protective responses. Thus, Ror\u03b3t promotes eosinophilia but Ror\u03b3t and Ror\u03b3t-dependent ILC3 are dispensable for the innate colitis in TRAG mice.\n
