Macrophages enhance regeneration of lateral line neuromast derived from interneuromast cells through TGF‐β in zebrafish

Abstract
AbstractMacrophages play a pivotal role in the response to injury, contributing significantly to the repair and regrowth of damaged tissues. The external lateral line system in aquatic organisms offers a practical model for studying regeneration, featuring interneuromast cells connecting sensory neuromasts. Under normal conditions, these cells remain dormant, but their transformation into neuromasts occurs when overcoming inhibitory signals from Schwann cells and posterior lateral line nerves. The mechanism enabling interneuromast cells to evade inhibition by Schwann cells remains unclear. Previous observations suggest that macrophages physically interact with neuromasts, nerves, and Schwann cells during regeneration. This interaction leads to the regeneration of neuromasts in a subset of zebrafish with ablated neuromasts. To explore whether macrophages achieve this effect through secreted cytokines, we conducted experiments involving tail amputation in zebrafish larvae and tested the impact of cytokine inhibitors on neuromast regeneration. Most injured larvae remarkably regenerated a neuromast within 4 days post‐amputation. Intriguingly, removal of macrophages and inhibition of the anti‐inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) significantly delayed neuromast regeneration. Conversely, inhibition of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) had minor effects on the regeneration process. This study provides insights into how macrophages activate interneuromast cells, elucidating the pathways underlying neuromast regeneration.
