Popis: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2c macrophages have been shown to exert potentially synergistic therapeutic effects in animals with adriamycin-induced nephropathy (AN), a model chronic proteinuric renal disease. M2c macrophages may protect against renal injury by promoting an increase in the number of Tregs in the renal draining lymph nodes of AN mice, but how they do so is unclear. In this study, we used an AN mouse model to analyze how M2c macrophages induce the migration of Tregs. Using flow cytometry, we found that M2c macrophages promoted the migration of Tregs from the peripheral blood to the spleen, thymus, kidney, and renal draining lymph nodes. At the same time, M2c macrophages significantly upregulated chemokine receptors and adhesion molecule in Tregs, including CCR4, CCR5, CCR7, CXCR5, and CD62L. Treating AN mice with monoclonal anti-CD62L antibody inhibited the migration of M2c macrophages and Tregs to the spleen, thymus, kidney, and renal draining lymph nodes. Taken together, our results suggest that M2c macrophages upregulate CD62L in Tregs and thereby promote their migration to inflammatory sites, where they exert renoprotective effects. These insights may aid the development of treatments against chronic kidney disease.
