Schematic diagram showing the involvement of nILC2s, iILC2s, intestinal flora and butyrate in AECOPD. Acute exacerbation of the intestinal flora Clostridiaceae in COPD mice decreased butyrate, which ultimately promoted the recruitment of intestinal iILC2 into the lungs and enhanced type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13), participating in the COPD inflammatory responses
