中文摘要：

調節性 T 細胞 （Tregs） 是關鍵的免疫調節劑，已顯示出在增強心肌梗死后心臟修復方面的潛力，盡管其機制仍然難以捉摸。在這里，我們表明，通過全身給藥外源性Tregs在MI后循環中迅速增加Treg數量，通過限制心肌細胞死亡和減少纖維化來改善雄性小鼠的心臟功能。從機制上講，外源性 Tregs 迅速返回梗死心臟，并采用損傷特異性轉錄組，通過調節單核細胞/巨噬細胞介導修復。特別是，Tregs 導致促炎 Ly6CHi CCR2+ 單核細胞/巨噬細胞減少，同時巨噬細胞迅速向促修復表型轉變。此外，外源性 Treg 衍生因子（包括 nidogen-1 和 IL-10）以及心臟 CD8+ T 細胞數量的減少介導心臟中促炎單核細胞/巨噬細胞亞群的減少。支持 IL-10 的關鍵作用，被 IL-10 敲除的外源性 Tregs 失去了其促修復能力?？傊@項研究強調了基于 Treg 的治療方法在心臟修復中的有益用途，具有重要的機制見解，可以促進心肌梗死新型免疫療法的開發，Tregs通過巨噬細胞促進心梗損傷恢復。

英文摘要：

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are key immune regulators that have shown promise in enhancing cardiac repair post-MI, although the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that rapidly increasing Treg number in the circulation post-MI via systemic administration of exogenous Tregs improves cardiac function in male mice, by limiting cardiomyocyte death and reducing fibrosis. Mechanistically, exogenous Tregs quickly home to the infarcted heart and adopt an injury-specific transcriptome that mediates repair by modulating monocytes/macrophages. Specially, Tregs lead to a reduction in pro-inflammatory Ly6CHi CCR2+ monocytes/macrophages accompanied by a rapid shift of macrophages towards a pro-repair phenotype. Additionally, exogenous Treg-derived factors, including nidogen-1 and IL-10, along with a decrease in cardiac CD8+ T cell number, mediate the reduction of the pro-inflammatory monocyte/macrophage subset in the heart. Supporting the pivotal role of IL-10, exogenous Tregs knocked out for IL-10 lose their pro-repair capabilities. Together, this study highlights the beneficial use of a Treg-based therapeutic approach for cardiac repair with important mechanistic insights that could facilitate the development of novel immunotherapies for MI..
