In the acute inflammatory phase following tissue damage, cells of the innate immune system are rapidly recruited to sites of injury by pro-inflammatory mediators released at the wound site. Although advances in live imaging allow us to directly visualize this process in vivo, the precise identity and properties of the primary immune damage attractants remain unclear, as it is currently impossible to directly observe and accurately measure these signals in tissues. Here, we demonstrate that detailed information about the attractant signals can be extracted directly from the in vivo behavior of the responding immune cells. By applying inference-based computational approaches to analyze the in vivo dynamics of the Drosophila inflammatory response, we gain new detailed insight into the spatiotemporal properties of the attractant gradient. In particular, we show that the wound attractant is released by wound margin cells, rather than by the wounded tissue per se, and that it diffuses away from this source at rates far slower than those of previously implicated signals such as H2O2 and ATP, ruling out these fast mediators as the primary chemoattractant. We then predict, and experimentally test, how competing attractant signals might interact in space and time to regulate multi-step cell navigation in the complex environment of a healing wound, revealing a period of receptor desensitization after initial exposure to the damage attractant. Extending our analysis to model much larger wounds, we uncover a dynamic behavioral change in the responding immune cells in vivo that is prognostic of whether a wound will subsequently heal or not. Computational modeling of in vivo inflammatory response to tissue damage is applied The model infers novel spatiotemporal properties of the wound attractant gradient Wound signal is released from the wound edge for 30 min and diffuses at 200 μm2/min Modeling two competing wounds reveals a period of immune cell desensitization Weavers et al. use Bayesian modeling of the inflammatory response to tissue damage in Drosophila to extract novel spatiotemporal properties of the wound attractant, including its diffusion coefficient, duration, and source of signal production. Modeling the response to two competing attractants uncovers a period of immune cell desensitization.
