The regeneration of the enthesis remains a formidable challenge in regenerative medicine. However, key regulators underlying unsatisfactory regeneration remain poorly understood. This study reveals that the purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2X7R)/Nod-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome axis suppresses enthesis regeneration by amplifying IL-1β-mediated inflammatory cross-talk and suppressing docosatrienoic acid (DTA) metabolic cross-talk. NLRP3 inflammasomes were activated in macrophages following enthesis injury, thereby impairing the histological and functional recovery of the injured enthesis. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) indicated that Nlrp3 knockout attenuated pathological inflammation and ameliorated the detrimental effects of IL-1β signaling cross-talk. Furthermore, NLRP3 inflammasomes suppressed the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and IL-13) and DTA. The NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated secretome reduced differentiation and migration of stem cells. Neutralizing IL-1β or replenishing docosatrienoic acid accelerated enthesis regeneration. Moreover, conditional knockout of P2rx7 in myeloid cells attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and facilitated enthesis regeneration. This study demonstrates that the P2X7R/NLRP3 inflammasome axis represents a promising therapeutic target for enthesis repair.
