Chronic skeletal muscle infections, such as with Toxoplasma gondii, disrupt normal immunoregulatory networks and lead to pathogenic changes in Treg function. Specifically, Tregs during chronic T. gondii infection reinforce an inflammatory macrophage bias that exacerbates injury in skeletal muscle. In this study, we investigated whether the aberrations in skeletal muscle Treg function during chronic infection could be overcome by treatment with Treg-related factors associated with enhanced muscle regeneration during sterile injury. We show treatment of chronically infected mice with Treg-promoting therapies, such as IL-2 complexed with anti\u2013IL-2 Ab or IL-33, did not restore macrophage dynamics or muscle function, respectively, in vivo. However, supplementation of known Treg-derived factors IL-10 and amphiregulin (Areg) improved muscle function and skewed macrophages toward a restorative phenotype in the presence of chronic infection. These shifts in macrophage phenotype are coupled with enhanced physiologic parameters of regeneration. Together, these data suggest that although Treg-mediated immunoregulation is compromised during chronic skeletal muscle infection, supplementation of canonical Treg-derived factors such as IL-10 and Areg can restore immunologic balance and enhance muscle repair.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/immunohorizons.1800024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,9]],"date-time":"2018-05-09T15:05:27Z","timestamp":1525878327000},"page":"142-154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Therapeutic Administration of IL-10 and Amphiregulin Alleviates Chronic Skeletal Muscle Inflammation and Damage Induced by Infection"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Richard M","family":"Jin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York , Buffalo, NY 14214"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordan","family":"Warunek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York , Buffalo, NY 14214"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A","family":"Wohlfert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York , Buffalo, NY 14214"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025010608284099300_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.00001-08","article-title":"Bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral myositis","volume":"21","author":"Crum-Cianflone","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin.
