The gut microbiota promotes distal tissue regeneration via RORγ+ regulatory T cell emissaries [scRNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Specific microbial signals induce the differentiation of a distinct pool of RORγ+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) crucial for intestinal homeostasis. We discovered highly analogous populations of microbiota-dependent Tregs that promote tissue regeneration at extra-gut sites, notably acutely injured skeletal muscle and fatty liver. Tissue damage elicited the emigration of RORγ+ Tregs from the gut to compromised tissues, wherein they regulated the dynamics and tenor of early inflammation and helped balance the proliferation versus differentiation of local stem cells. Reining in IL-17A-producing T cells was a major mechanism underlying these rheostatic functions. Our findings highlight the importance of gut-trained Treg emissaries in controlling the response to sterile injury of non-mucosal tissues.
