IL-17-producing γδ T cells enhance bone regeneration

TLDR
A novel role is identified for IL-17-producing γδ T cells in skeletal tissue regeneration by stimulating the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells and promoting bone formation and bone fracture healing.
Abstract
Immune responses are crucial not only for host defence against pathogens but also for tissue maintenance and repair after injury. Lymphocytes are involved in the healing process after tissue injury, including bone fracture and muscle damage. However, the specific immune cell subsets and mediators of healing are not entirely clear. Here we show that γδ T cells produce IL-17A, which promotes bone formation and facilitates bone fracture healing. Repair is impaired in IL-17A-deficient mice due to a defect in osteoblastic bone formation. IL-17A accelerates bone formation by stimulating the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells. This study identifies a novel role for IL-17-producing γδ T cells in skeletal tissue regeneration.

Promoting tissue regeneration by modulating the immune system.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the next generation of regenerative therapies may evolve from typical biomaterial-, stem cell-, or growth factor-centric approaches to an immune-centric approach.

Biomaterials: Foreign Bodies or Tuners for the Immune Response?

TL;DR: Recent research breakthroughs have provided a broader insight on the correct choice of biomaterial physicochemical modifications to tune the reaction of the host immune system to implanted biomaterial and to favor integration and healing.

Osteoimmunology: evolving concepts in bone–immune interactions in health and disease

TL;DR: It is well known that immune cells can have profound effects on bone cells, but this interaction is not unidirectional, so Tsukasaki and Takayanagi explore the reciprocal dialogue between bone cells and immune cells during health and disease.

Osteoimmunology: The Conceptual Framework Unifying the Immune and Skeletal Systems

TL;DR: The function, gene regulation, and signal transduction of osteoimmune molecules, including RANKL, in the context of osteoclastogenesis as well as multiple other regulatory functions are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of bone development and repair

TL;DR: The isolation of a single skeletal stem cell population through cell surface markers and the development of single-cell technologies are enabling precise elucidation of cellular activity and fate during bone repair by providing key insights into the mechanisms that maintain and regenerate bone during homeostasis and repair.

IL-17 in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a potent stimulator of osteoclastogenesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-17 first acts on osteoblasts, which stimulates both COX-2-dependent PGE2 synthesis and ODF gene expression, which in turn induce differentiation of osteoclast progenitors into mature osteoclasts, and that IL -17 is a crucial cytokine for osteoclastic bone resorption in RA patients.

Interleukin-1 and IL-23 induce innate IL-17 production from gammadelta T cells, amplifying Th17 responses and autoimmunity.

TL;DR: It is shown that gammadelta T cells express IL-23R and the transcription factor RORgammat and produce IL-17, IL-21, and IL-22 in response to IL-1beta andIL-23, without T cell receptor engagement.

Th17 functions as an osteoclastogenic helper T cell subset that links T cell activation and bone destruction

TL;DR: Th17 is a powerful therapeutic target for the bone destruction associated with T cell activation and the interleukin (IL)-23–IL-17 axis, rather than the IL-12–IFN-γ axis, is critical for the onset phase of autoimmune arthritis.

The IL-23-IL-17 immune axis: from mechanisms to therapeutic testing

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the recent advances that have been made regarding the transcriptional control of TH 17 cell plasticity and stability, as well as the effector functions of TH17 cells, and highlights the mechanisms of IL-17 signalling in mesenchymal and barrier epithelial tissues.

Antigen-specific T cell sensitization is impaired in IL-17-deficient mice, causing suppression of allergic cellular and humoral responses

TL;DR: It is found that contact, delayed-type, and airway hypersensitivity responses, as well as T-dependent antibody production, were significantly reduced in the mutant mice, while IL-17 deficiency of donor T cells did not affect acute graft-versus-host reaction.
