Our study identified the role of the IL-33/ST2 pathway in Tregs for resolution of kidney injury. The transcriptome of ST2+ Tregs was enriched for reparative factors including AREG. Lack of ST2 or AREG in Tregs worsened kidney injury. Tregs protected kidney organoids from hypoxia in ST2 and AREG-dependent manner. Thus Treg-based approaches could be of benefit for resolution of renal injury.
