zT_reg Cells Express Tissue-Specific Pro-regenerative Factors

(A–C) qRT-PCR analysis of growth factor expression in injured tissues (mean ± SEM, n = 6).

(D–F) qRT-PCR analysis of secreted factors in purified zT_reg cells (mean ± SD; ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01). Gene expression is shown relative to the levels in kidney-derived zT_reg cells.

(G) In situ hybridization using RNAscope and immunofluorescence against TagRFP in damaged foxp3a:RFP tissues. Arrows indicate zT_reg cells expressing mRNAs of ntf3 (left), nrg1(middle), or igf1(right). Single confocal sections are shown.

(H) Semi-qRT-PCR analysis of zT_reg cells purified from injured tissues and uninjured kidneys.

(I–K) Experimental interventions involving NTF3 (I), NRG1 (J), or IGF1 (K) treatments. i.p., intraperitoneal injection; i.v., intravitreal injection.

(L–N) Quantification of proliferating neural progenitor cells (L), cardiomyocytes (M), and Müller glia (N) (n = 5–8). Representative images are shown in Figures S4B, S4F, and S4G.

^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test (A–C and L–N) and Student's t test (D–F). Scale bars, 20 μm. See also Figure S4.
