Abstract
Tissue injury and the healing response lead to the release of endogenous danger signals including Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor, type 1 (IL-1R1) ligands, which modulate the immune microenvironment. Because TLRs and IL-1R1 have been shown to influence the repair process of various tissues, we explored their role during bone regeneration, seeking to design regenerative strategies integrating a control of their signalling. Here we show that IL-1R1/MyD88 signalling negatively regulates bone regeneration, in the mouse. Furthermore, IL-1β which is released at the bone injury site, inhibits the regenerative capacities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Mechanistically, IL-1R1/MyD88 signalling impairs MSC proliferation, migration and differentiation by inhibiting the Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway. Lastly, as a proof of concept, we engineer a MSC delivery system integrating inhibitors of IL-1R1/MyD88 signalling. Using this strategy, we considerably improve MSC-based bone regeneration in the mouse, demonstrating that this approach may be useful in regenerative medicine applications.

We explore the role of TLRs and IL-1R1 during bone regeneration, seeking to design regenerative strategies integrating a control of their signalling
To evaluate the role of TLRs and IL-1R1 during bone regeneration, we first analysed regeneration in mice deficient for MyD88 and TRIF, which are key adaptor proteins involved in TLR and IL-1R1 signalling transduction[12]
Summary
Tissue injury and the healing response lead to the release of endogenous danger signals including Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor, type 1 (IL-1R1) ligands, which modulate the immune microenvironment. IL-1R1/MyD88 signalling impairs MSC migration, proliferation and differentiation into osteoblasts, by inhibiting the Akt/GSK-3b/b-catenin pathway.
