Adult mammals have lost multi-tissue regenerative capacity, except for the distal digit, which is able to regenerate via mechanisms that remain largely unknown. Here, we show that, after adult mouse distal digit removal, nerve-associated Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) dedifferentiate and secrete growth factors that promote expansion of the blastema and digit regeneration. When SCPs were dys-regulated or ablated, mesenchymal precursor proliferation in the blastema was decreased and nail and bone regeneration were impaired. Transplantation of exogenous SCPs rescued these regeneration defects. We found that SCPs secrete factors that promote self-renewal of mesenchymal precursors, and we used transcriptomic and proteomic analysis to define candidate factors. Two of these, oncostatin M (OSM) and platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA), are made by SCPs in the regenerating digit and rescued the deficits in regeneration caused by loss of SCPs. As all peripheral tissues contain nerves, these results could have broad implications for mammalian tissue repair and regeneration.
