Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are increasingly being recognized for their role in promoting tissue repair. In this issue of the JCI, Chen et al. found that Tregs at the site of bone injury contribute to bone repair. The CCL1/CCR8 chemokine system promoted the accumulation of Tregs at the site of bone injury, where Tregs supported skeletal stem cell (SSC) accumulation and osteogenic differentiation. CCL1 increased the transcription factor basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) in CCR8+ Tregs, which induced the secretion of progranulin that promoted SSC osteogenic function and new bone formation. This study highlights the ever-expanding role of Tregs in tissue repair by demonstrating their ability to expand stem cells at a site of injury.
调节性T细胞(Regulatory T cells, Tregs)在促进组织修复中的作用越来越被人们所认识。在这一期的JCI中,Chen等人发现骨损伤部位的Tregs有助于骨修复。CCL1/CCR8趋化因子系统促进Tregs在骨损伤部位的积累,其中Tregs支持骨干细胞(SSC)的积累和成骨分化。CCL1增加CCR8+ Tregs的转录因子碱性亮氨酸拉链atf样转录因子(BATF),诱导前颗粒蛋白分泌,促进SSC成骨功能和新骨形成。这项研究通过证明treg在损伤部位扩增干细胞的能力,强调了treg在组织修复中不断扩大的作用。
