The myeloid lineage is required for the emergence of a regeneration-permissive environment following Xenopus tail amputation.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Regeneration-competent vertebrates are considered to suppress inflammation faster than non-regenerating ones. Hence, understanding the cellular mechanisms affected by immune cells and inflammation can help develop strategies to promote tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we took advantage of naturally occurring tail regeneration-competent and -incompetent developmental stages of Xenopus tadpoles. We first establish the essential role of the myeloid lineage for tail regeneration in the regeneration-competent tadpoles. We then reveal that upon tail amputation there is a reduction in amputation-induced apoptosis levels in the myeloid lineage, which in turn promotes tissue remodelling, and ultimately leads to the relocalization of the regeneration-organizing cells responsible for progenitor proliferation. These cellular mechanisms failed to be executed in regeneration-incompetent tadpoles. We demonstrate that regeneration incompetency is characterized by inflammatory myeloid cells whereas regeneration competency is associated with reparative myeloid cells. Moreover, treatment of regeneration-incompetent tadpoles with immune-suppressing drugs restores myeloid lineage-controlled cellular mechanisms. Collectively, our work reveals the effects of differential activation of the myeloid lineage on the creation of a regeneration-permissive environment and could be further exploited to devise strategies for regenerative medicine purposes.

Fig S4. Remodelling index captures morphological differences between the amputation plane of regeneration-competent and -incompetent tadpoles. (A) Schematics for amputation plane morphology immediately after amputation (left), and examples at 24 hours post amputation. Upon amputation, the somitic region is exposed to the outside medium and present a rectangular shape. Fin regions do not show any inward curvatures towards the amputation plane. Within 24 hours, somitic regions undergo histolysis and muscle tissue degeneration (Beck et al., 2003), while fin cells from the ventral and dorsal sides of the tail start covering the amputation plane. In regeneration-incompetent tadpoles, limited changes are observed (right, bottom).
