Abstract
Immune cells are involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. The mechanism by which Treg cells are involved in the regeneration of injured skeletal muscle is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of programmed death-1 in contused skeletal muscle regeneration, and to clarify the regulation of programmed death-1 on Treg cell generation and macrophage polarization, in order to deepen our understanding of the relationship between the immune system and injured skeletal muscle regeneration. The results show that programmed death-1 knockdown reduced the number of Treg cells and impaired contused skeletal muscle regeneration compared with those of wild-type mice. The number of pro-inflammatory macrophages in the contused skeletal muscle of programmed death-1 knockout mice increased, and the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and oxidative stress factors increased, while the number of anti-inflammatory macrophages and the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, antioxidant stress factors, and muscle regeneration-related factors decreased. These results suggest that programmed death-1 can promote contused skeletal muscle regeneration by regulating Treg cell generation and macrophage polarization.
