Regulatory T cells(Tregs)suppress immune responses and inflammation.Here,we described the distinct nonimmunological role of Tregs in fracture healing.The recruitment from the circulation pool,peripheral induction,and local expansion rapidly enriched Tregs in the injured bone.The Tregs in the injured bone displayed superiority in direct osteogenesis over Tregs from lymphoid organs.Punctual depletion of Tregs compromised the fracture healing process,which leads to increased bone nonunion.In addition,bone callus Tregs showed unique T-cell receptor repertoires.Amphiregulin was the most overexpressed protein in bone callus Tregs,and it can directly facilitate the proliferation and differentiation of osteogenic precursor cells by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathways.The results of loss-and gain-function studies further evidenced that amphiregulin can reverse the compromised healing caused by Treg dysfunction.Tregs also enriched in patient bone callus and amphiregulin can promote the osteogenesis of human pre-osteoblastic cells.Our findings indicate the distinct and nonredundant role of Tregs in fracture healing,which will provide a new therapeutic target and strategy in the clinical treatment of fractures.
