Targeting lymphatic vessels enhances bone regeneration by augmenting osteoclast activity in mouse models of amputation

ABSTRACT: Although mammals generally demonstrate limited regenerative capacity compared with amphibians, the digit tip retains remarkable regenerative potential, providing a useful model to study successful mammalian regeneration. This process involves coordinated immune cell activity, vascular remodeling, and tissue reconstruction, yet the molecular checkpoints controlling regenerative versus fibrotic outcomes remain poorly understood. In mammals, regeneration of the digit tip (P3) proceeds through myeloid cell migration, early osteoclast-mediated osteolysis of the distal bone, and subsequent blastema-mediated regeneration. Here we test the hypothesis that lymphatic vessels regulate regenerative capacity by modulating local immune cell dynamics and osteoclast function. Using a lymphatic system–specific reporter line, we discovered that lymphatic vessels grow toward the nail region from the ventral side of the digit during quiescence and after amputation. These lymphatics closely surround, but do not invade, the native or regenerated bone. Unexpectedly, genetic, pharmacological, and surgical inhibition of lymphangiogenesis accelerated early osteolysis through enhanced transition of myeloid cells to osteoclasts, resulting in faster and more robust regeneration. These findings reveal a mechanism linking lymphatic vessel, immune regulation, and bone remodeling, suggesting that targeted manipulation of lymphatics dynamics may enhance regenerative outcomes after musculoskeletal injury.

Acquisition of a unique mesenchymal precursor-like blastema state underlies successful adult mammalian digit tip regeneration

Project description:Here, we investigate the origin and nature of blastema cells that regenerate the adult murine digit tip. We show that Pdgfra-expressing mesenchymal cells in uninjured digits establish the regenerative blastema and are essential for regeneration. Single cell profiling shows that the mesenchymal blastema cells are distinct from both uninjured digit and embryonic limb/digit Pdgfra-positive cells. This unique blastema state is environmentally determined; dermal fibroblasts transplanted into the regenerative, but not non-regenerative, digit express blastema markers and contribute to bone regeneration. Moreover, lineage tracing with single cell profiling indicates that endogenous osteoblasts/osteocytes acquire a blastema mesenchymal transcriptional state and contribute to both dermis and bone regeneration. Thus, mammalian digit tip regeneration occurs via a distinct adult mechanism where the regenerative environment promotes acquisition of a unique blastema state that allows cells from tissues like bone to contribute to regeneration of other mesenchymal tissues such as the dermis.

Coupling Inflammatory Resolution to Osteogenesis: Lymphatic Vessels as Stage-specific Niche Regulators in Skeletal Healing

Project description:<p> Skeletal healing requires the coordinated resolution of inflammation and precise lineage commitment of mesenchymal progenitors, yet the mechanisms coupling these processes remain incompletely defined. Here, we reveal that lymphatic vessels in bone serve as dynamic orchestrators bridging inflammatory clearance with stromal fate determination during regeneration. Using lineage tracing in Lyve1-creERT2; tdTomato mice and genetic ablation approaches, we demonstrate that injury-induced lymphangiogenesis is essential for timely osteogenesis. Prior depletion of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) exacerbates inflammation and impairs bone regeneration following injury. Notably, we identify Lyve1highmacrophages as lymphatic endothelial-like cells capable of transdifferentiation following efferocytosis. Mechanistically, engulfment of apoptotic cells activates fatty acid β-oxidation, increasing acetyl-CoA level that drive histone acetylation at the Lyve1 and Vegfc promoters, thereby licensing the macrophages-to-LECs transition. During the remodeling phase, lymphatic vessels help maintain local lipid homeostasis. Lymphatic impairment during bone repair leads to accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylethanolamines (PE-PUFAs), which stabilize PPARγ through ZDHHC4-mediated palmitoylation. This process blocks ubiquitin-proteasome degradation and skews LepR+ bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) toward adipogenesis at the expense of osteogenesis. Age-related lymphatic insufficiency recapitulates this pathological cascade, manifesting as impaired drainage, systemic lipid dysregulation, and compromised bone quality. Collectively, our findings establish lymphatic vessels, reconstructed by macrophages-to-LECs transdifferentiation, as stage-specific niche that guides osteogenic-adipogenic fate decision of BMSCs through lymphatic drainage capacity in skeletal repair.</p>

Single cell RNA sequencing of adult regenerating mouse digit tips

Project description:Innate regeneration following digit tip amputation is one of the few examples of epimorphic regeneration in mammals. Digit tip regeneration is mediated by the blastema, the same structure invoked during limb regeneration in some lower vertebrates. By genetic lineage analyses in mice, the digit tip blastema has been defined as a population of heterogeneous, lineage restructed progenitor cells. These previous studies, however, do not comprehensively evaluate blastema heterogeneity or address lineage restruction of closely related cell types. Here we report single cell RNA sequencing of over 38,000 cells from mouse digit tip blastemas and unamputated control digit tips and generate an atlas of the cell types participating in digit tip regeneration.

By genetic lineage analyses in mice, the digit tip blastema has been defined as a population of heterogeneous, lineage restructed progenitor cells. These previous studies, however, do not comprehensively evaluate blastema heterogeneity or address lineage restruction of closely related cell types. Here we report one additional single cell RNA sequencing sample (28 days post-amputation) to add to our already published 38,000 cells from mouse digit tip blastemas and unamputated control digit tips used to generate an atlas of the cell types participating in digit tip regeneration.

A stem cell-driven lymphoangiogenic switch

Project description:Tissues rely on stem cells (SCs) for homeostasis and wound-repair. SCs reside in specialized microenvironments (niches) whose complexities and roles in orchestrating tissue growth are still unfolding. Here, we identify lymphatic capillaries as critical SC niche components. In skin, lymphatics form intimate networks around the SCs of each hair follicle (HF) during their non-regenerative phase, and remodel upon regeneration. Seeking understanding, we unravel a secretome switch within SCs that controls lymphatic behavior. Resting SCs express Angiopoietin-like 7 (Angptl7), promoting lymphatic drainage. Upon activation, SCs trigger an anti-lympho-angiogenic program, transiently sparking lymphatic dilation and dampened drainage. In mammals, this dynamic aria between SCs and lymphatics is essential for coordinating HFSC behavior and hair regeneration: Upon either depleting lymphatics, silencing Angptl7 or super-activating anti-lympho-angiogenesis, SCs precociously proliferate and HF regeneration becomes asynchronous. In unearthing lymphatic capillaries as a hitherto under-appreciated SC-niche element, we’ve learned how SCs coordinate their activity across a tissue.

Spatial transcriptomics reveals increased energetic requirements underpinning age-dependent declines in digit regeneration rescued through administration of OAA

Project description:De novo limb regeneration after amputation is restricted in mammals to the distal digit tip. Central to this regenerative process is the blastema, a heterogeneous population of lineage-restricted, dedifferentiated cells that ultimately orchestrates the regeneration of the amputated bone and surrounding soft tissue. To investigate skeletal regeneration, we made use of spatial transcriptomics to characterize the transcriptional profile specifically within the blastema. Using this technique, we generated a gene signature with high specificity for the blastema in both our spatial data, as well as other previously published single-cell RNA-sequencing transcriptomic studies. To elucidate potential mechanisms distinguishing regenerative from non-regenerative healing, we applied spatial transcriptomics to an aging model. Consistent with other forms of repair, our digit amputation mouse model showed a significant impairment in regeneration in aged mice. Contrasting young and aged mice, spatial analysis revealed a metabolic shift in aged blastema associated with an increased bioenergetic requirement. This enhanced metabolic turnover was associated with increased hypoxia and angiogenic signaling, leading to excessive vascularization and altered regenerated bone architecture in aged mice. Restoration of this metabolic deficiency using the metabolite oxaloacetate enhanced in vivo bone regeneration. Thus, targeting cell metabolism may be a promising strategy to mitigate aging-induced declines in tissue regeneration.

Mesenchymal precursor cells in adult nerves contribute to mammalian tissue repair and regeneration

Project description:Peripheral innervation plays an important role in regulating tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we provide evidence that injured peripheral nerves provide a reservoir of mesenchymal precursor cells that can directly contribute to murine digit tip regeneration and skin repair. In particular, using single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing we identify transcriptionally-distinct mesenchymal cell populations within the control and injured adult nerve, including neural crest-derived cells in the endoneurium with characteristics of mesenchymal precursor cells. Culture and transplantation studies show that these nerve-derived mesenchymal cells have the potential to differentiate into non-nerve lineages. Moreover, following digit tip amputation, the neural crest-derived nerve mesenchymal cells contribute to the regenerative blastema and ultimately to the regenerated bone. Similarly, neural crest derived nerve mesenchymal cells contribute to the dermis during skin wound healing. These findings support a model where peripheral nerves directly contribute mesenchymal precursor cells to promote repair and regeneration of injured mammalian tissues.
