Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, commonly associated with nosocomial transmission. Gram-negative bacterial species are particularly problematic due to the release of the lipopolysaccharide toxins upon cell death. The lipopolysaccharide toxin of E. coli has a greater immunogenic potential than that of other Gram-negative bacteria. The resultant dysregulation of the immune system is associated with organ failure and mortality, with pregnant women, ICU patients, and neonates being particularly vulnerable. Additionally, sepsis recovery patients have an increased risk of re-hospitalisation, chronic illness, co-morbidities, organ damage/failure, and a reduced life expectancy. The emergence and increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial and fungal species has impacted the treatment of sepsis patients, leading to increasing mortality rates. Multidrug resistant pathogens including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, beta lactam-resistant Klebsiella, and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter species are associated with an increased risk of mortality. To improve the prognosis of sepsis patients, predominantly high-risk neonates, advances must be made in the early diagnosis, triage, and control of sepsis. The identification of suitable biomarkers and biomarker combinations, coupled with machine learning and artificial intelligence, show promise in early detection protocols. Rapid diagnosis of sepsis in patients is essential to inform on clinical treatment, especially with resistant infectious agents. This timely review aims to discuss sepsis prevalence, aetiology, and recent advances towards disease mitigation and control.

[PMID: 38828372 PMCID: PMC11143990 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s464286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Proper antibiotic administration is crucial for sepsis management. Given the escalating incidence of antimicrobial resistance, there is a pressing need for indicators of antimicrobial susceptibility with short turnaround times. This study aimed to investigate the potential of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) as an early biomarker for in vivo antibiotic susceptibility in patients with sepsis. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of plasma samples from patients enrolled in a pre-established study designed to investigate prognostic biomarkers in patients with sepsis or septic shock. Baseline and 6 h sTREM-1 levels were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The primary outcome of the study was the comparison of percentage changes in sTREM-1 levels at the 6 h relative to baseline with respect to antibiotic susceptibility. Results Of the 596 patients enrolled in the pre-established study, 29 with a median age of 75.8 and a 28-day mortality rate of 17.2% were included in the present analysis. Among these patients, 24 were classified into the susceptible group, whereas the remaining five were classified into the resistant group. The trend in plasma sTREM-1 levels differed with respect to antibiotic susceptibility. Moreover, percentage change in sTREM-1 levels at the 6 h relative to baseline was significantly higher in the resistant group (P = 0.028). Conclusion The trend in plasma sTREM-1 levels in patients with sepsis differed with respect to antibiotic susceptibility, with a higher percentage change in patients treated with inappropriate antibiotics. These findings indicate the potential utility of sTREM-1 as an early biomarker of antibiotic susceptibility.

World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:1177-1188. [PMID: 38577193 PMCID: PMC10989495 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute decompensation (AD) of cirrhosis is associated with high short-term mortality, mainly due to the development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Thus, there is a need for biomarkers for early and accurate identification of AD patients with high risk of development of ACLF and mortality. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is released from activated innate immune cells and correlated with various inflammatory processes. AIM To explore the prognostic value of sTREM-1 in patients with AD of cirrhosis. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort of 442 patients with cirrhosis hospitalized for AD was divided into a study cohort (n = 309) and validation cohort (n = 133). Demographic and clinical data were collected, and serum sTREM-1 was measured at admission. All enrolled patients were followed-up for at least 1 year. RESULTS In patients with AD and cirrhosis, serum sTREM-1 was an independent prognosis predictor for 1-year survival and correlated with liver, coagulation, cerebral and kidney failure. A new prognostic model of AD (P-AD) incorporating sTREM-1, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBil), international normalized ratio (INR) and hepatic encephalopathy grades was established and performed better than the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), MELD-sodium (MELD-Na), chronic liver failure-consortium (CLIF-C) ACLF and CLIF-C AD scores. Additionally, sTREM-1 was increased in ACLF and predicted the development of ACLF during first 28-d follow-up. The ACLF risk score incorporating serum sTREM-1, BUN, INR, TBil and aspartate aminotransferase levels was established and significantly superior to MELD, MELD-Na, CLIF-C ACLF, CLIF-C AD and P-AD in predicting risk of ACLF development. CONCLUSION Serum sTREM-1 is a promising prognostic biomarker for ACLF development and mortality in patients with AD of cirrhosis.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to identify a panel of biomarkers for distinguishing early stage sepsis patients from non-infected trauma patients. Background Accurate differentiation between trauma-induced sterile inflammation and real infective sepsis poses a complex life-threatening medical challenge because of their common symptoms albeit diverging clinical implications, namely different therapies. The timely and accurate identification of sepsis in trauma patients is therefore vital to ensure prompt and tailored medical interventions (provision of adequate antimicrobial agents and if possible eradication of infective foci) that can ultimately lead to improved therapeutic management and patient outcome. The adequate withholding of antimicrobials in trauma patients without sepsis is also important in aspects of both patient and environmental perspective. Methods In this proof-of-concept study, we employed advanced technologies, including Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) and multiplex antibody arrays (MAA) to identify a panel of biomarkers distinguishing actual sepsis from trauma-induced sterile inflammation. Results By comparing patient groups (controls, infected and non-infected trauma and septic shock patients under mechanical ventilation) at different time points, we uncovered distinct protein patterns associated with early trauma-induced sterile inflammation on the one hand and sepsis on the other hand. SYT13 and IL1F10 emerged as potential early sepsis biomarkers, while reduced levels of A2M were indicative of both trauma-induced inflammation and sepsis conditions. Additionally, higher levels of TREM1 were associated at a later stage in trauma patients. Furthermore, enrichment analyses revealed differences in the inflammatory response between trauma-induced inflammation and sepsis, with proteins related to complement and coagulation cascades being elevated whereas proteins relevant to focal adhesion were diminished in sepsis. Conclusions Our findings, therefore, suggest that a combination of biomarkers is needed for the development of novel diagnostic approaches deciphering trauma-induced sterile inflammation from actual infective sepsis.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a pattern recognition receptor and plays a critical role in the immune response. TREM-1 activation leads to the production and release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, as well as its own expression and circulating levels of the cleaved soluble extracellular portion of TREM-1 (sTREM-1). Because patients with sepsis and septic shock show elevated sTREM-1 levels, TREM-1 has attracted attention as an important contributor to the inadequate immune response in this often-deadly condition. Since 2001, when the first blockade of TREM-1 in sepsis was performed, many potential TREM-1 inhibitors have been established in animal models. However, only one of them, nangibotide, has entered clinical trials, which have yielded promising data for future treatment of sepsis, septic shock, and other inflammatory disease such as COVID-19. This review discusses the TREM-1 pathway and important ligands, and highlights the development of novel inhibitors as well as their clinical potential for targeted treatment of various inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
High mobility group protein (HMGB1) is secreted by myeloid cells and cells of damaged tissues during inflammation, causing inflammatory reactions through various receptors, including TLRS and RAGE. TREM-1 is considered to be one of the potential HMGB1 receptors. In this work, we have shown that the HMGB1 protein is able to bind to the TREM-1 receptor at high affinity both in solution and on the cell surface. This binding causes lymphocytes to release cytokines IL-2, IL-1b, IL-6, TNF and Ifny into the medium, which leads to the appearance of cytotoxic lymphocytes in PBMC capable of lysing HLA-negative tumor cells. Expanding the spectra of proinflammatory receptor ligands and understanding the mechanisms of their action is essential for the creation of new immunotherapy pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is characterized by a dysregulated immune response and metabolic alterations, including decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. HDL exhibits beneficial properties, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) scavenging, exerting anti-inflammatory effects and providing endothelial protection. We investigated the effects of CER-001, an engineered HDL-mimetic, in a swine model of LPS-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and a Phase 2a clinical trial, aiming to better understand its molecular basis in systemic inflammation and renal function. METHODS We carried out a translational approach to study the effects of HDL administration on sepsis. Sterile systemic inflammation was induced in pigs by LPS infusion. Animals were randomized into LPS (n = 6), CER20 (single dose of CER-001 20 mg/kg; n = 6), and CER20 × 2 (two doses of CER-001 20 mg/kg; n = 6) groups. Survival rate, endothelial dysfunction biomarkers, pro-inflammatory mediators, LPS, and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) levels were assessed. Renal and liver histology and biochemistry were analyzed. Subsequently, we performed an open-label, randomized, dose-ranging (Phase 2a) study included 20 patients with sepsis due to intra-abdominal infection or urosepsis, randomized into Group A (conventional treatment, n = 5), Group B (CER-001 5 mg/kg BID, n = 5), Group C (CER-001 10 mg/kg BID, n = 5), and Group D (CER-001 20 mg/kg BID, n = 5). Primary outcomes were safety and efficacy in preventing AKI onset and severity; secondary outcomes include changes in inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers. RESULTS CER-001 increased median survival, reduced inflammatory mediators, complement activation, and endothelial dysfunction in endotoxemic pigs. It enhanced LPS elimination through the bile and preserved liver and renal parenchyma. In the clinical study, CER-001 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events related to study treatment. Rapid ApoA-I normalization was associated with enhanced LPS removal and immunomodulation with improvement of clinical outcomes, independently of the type and gravity of the sepsis. CER-001-treated patients had reduced risk for the onset and progression to severe AKI (stage 2 or 3) and, in a subset of critically ill patients, a reduced need for organ support and shorter ICU length of stay. CONCLUSIONS CER-001 shows promise as a therapeutic strategy for sepsis management, improving outcomes and mitigating inflammation and organ damage. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco (AIFA) and by the Local Ethic Committee (N° EUDRACT 2020-004202-60, Protocol CER-001- SEP_AKI_01) and was added to the EU Clinical Trials Register on January 13, 2021.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2023; 32:107381. [PMID: 37776727 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type 1 (sTREM-1) is a new type of immunoglobulin superfamily receptor related to inflammation that aggravates brain injury. This study aimed to assess the clinical value of sTREM-1 in predicting early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated without reperfusion therapy. METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 315 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Affiliated Taizhou People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between October 2020 and October 2022. The study excluded patients treated with reperfusion therapy. sTREM-1 levels were evaluated within 24 h of the acute ischemic stroke. Early neurological deterioration (END) was defined as an increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 4 points within three days after admission. Multivariable analyses were used to investigate the relationship between sTREM-1 levels and END. RESULTS A total of 81 (25.7 %) patients had early neurological deterioration. Patients in the END group had a higher NIHSS score at admission (P =0.007), CRP levels (P =0.011), white blood cell count (P =0.002), fasting blood glucose levels (P =0.028), and sTREM-1 levels (P <0.001). After adjusting for confounders, higher sTREM-1 levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of early neurological deterioration (OR, 1.98; 95 % CI, 1.17-3.38, P=0.012). Moreover, sTREM-1 levels efficiently differentiated END (area under the curve: 0.779; 95 % CI: 0.731-0.822). Furthermore, the results showed significant differences between the high sTREM-1 group and the low sTREM-1 group in NIHSS scores (P=0.019), C-reactive protein (P=0.018), white blood cell count (P=0.013), and the incidence of early neurological deterioration (P<0.001). According to the multivariate logistic regression model, we discovered that the high sTREM-1 group was a significant independent predictor of early neurological deterioration incidence (OR, 4.19; 95 % CI, 1.46-9.84; P= 0.003). CONCLUSION sTREM-1 could be a potential biomarker for predicting early neurological deterioration in AIS patients not treated with reperfusion therapy.

Prospective evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and optimal biomarker enrichment strategy for nangibotide, a TREM-1 inhibitor, in patients with septic shock (ASTONISH): a double-blind, randomised, controlled, phase 2b trial. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2023; 11:894-904. [PMID: 37269870 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(23)00158-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) pathway is associated with septic shock outcomes. Data suggest that modulation of this pathway in patients with activated TREM-1 might improve survival. Soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1), a potential mechanism-based biomarker, might facilitate enrichment of patient selection in clinical trials of nangibotide, a TREM-1 modulator. In this phase 2b trial, we aimed to confirm the hypothesis that TREM1 inhibition might improve outcomes in patients with septic shock. METHODS This double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial assessed the efficacy and safety of two different doses of nangibotide compared with placebo, and aimed to identify the optimum treatment population, in patients across 42 hospitals with medical, surgical, or mixed intensive care units (ICUs) in seven countries. Non-COVID-19 patients (18-85 years) meeting the standard definition of septic shock, with documented or suspected infection (lung, abdominal, or urinary [in patients ≥65 years]), were eligible within 24 h of vasopressor initiation for the treatment of septic shock. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to intravenous nangibotide 0·3 mg/kg per h (low-dose group), nangibotide 1·0 mg/kg per h (high-dose group), or matched placebo, using a computer-generated block randomisation scheme (block size 3). Patients and investigators were masked to treatment allocation. Patients were grouped according to sTREM-1 concentrations at baseline (established from sepsis observational studies and from phase 2a change to data) into high sTREM-1 (≥ 400 pg/mL). The primary outcome was the mean difference in total Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score from baseline to day 5 in the low-dose and high-dose groups compared with placebo, measured in the predefined high sTREM-1 (≥ 400 pg/mL) population and in the overall modified intention-to-treat population. Secondary endpoints included all-cause 28-day mortality, safety, pharmacokinetics, and evaluation of the relationship between TREM-1 activation and treatment response. This study is registered with EudraCT, 2018-004827-36, and Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04055909. FINDINGS Between Nov 14, 2019, and April 11, 2022, of 402 patients screened, 355 were included in the main analysis (116 in the placebo group, 118 in the low-dose group, and 121 in the high-dose group). In the preliminary high sTREM-1 population (total 253 [71%] of 355; placebo 75 [65%] of 116; low-dose 90 [76%] of 118; high-dose 88 [73%] of 121), the mean difference in SOFA score from baseline to day 5 was 0·21 (95% CI -1·45 to 1·87, p=0·80) in the low-dose group and 1·39 (-0·28 to 3·06, p=0·104) in the high-dose group versus placebo. In the overall population, the difference in SOFA score from baseline to day 5 between the placebo group and low-dose group was 0·20 (-1·09 to 1·50; p=0·76),and between the placebo group and the high-dose group was 1·06 (-0·23 to 2·35, p=0·108). In the predefined high sTREM-1 cutoff population, 23 (31%) patients in the placebo group, 35 (39%) in the low-dose group, and 25 (28%) in the high-dose group had died by day 28. In the overall population, 29 (25%) patients in the placebo, 38 (32%) in the low-dose, and 30 (25%) in the high-dose group had died by day 28. The number of treatment-emergent adverse events (111 [96%] patients in the placebo group, 113 [96%] in the low-dose group, and 115 [95%] in the high-dose group) and serious treatment-emergent adverse events (28 [24%], 26 [22%], and 31 [26%]) was similar between all three groups. High-dose nangibotide led to a clinically relevant improvement in SOFA score (of two points or more) from baseline to day 5 over placebo in those with higher cutoff concentrations (≥532 pg/mL) of sTREM-1 at baseline. Low dose nangibotide displayed a similar pattern with lower magnitude of effect across all cutoff values. INTERPRETATION This trial did not achieve the primary outcome of improvement in SOFA score at the predefined sTREM-1 value. Future studies are needed to confirm the benefit of nangibotide at higher concentrations of TREM-1 activation. FUNDING Inotrem.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death with a high pro-inflammatory effect, causes cell lysis and leads to the secretion of countless interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 cytokines, resulting in a subsequent extreme inflammatory response through the caspase-1-dependent pathway or caspase-1-independent pathway. Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disease with extensive disease manifestations and severe complications such as macrophage activation syndrome, which is characterized by high-grade inflammation and cytokine storms regulated by IL-1β and IL-18. To date, the pathogenesis of AOSD is unclear, and the available therapy is unsatisfactory. As such, AOSD is still a challenging disease. In addition, the high inflammatory states and the increased expression of multiple pyroptosis markers in AOSD indicate that pyroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AOSD. Accordingly, this review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and describes the potential role of pyroptosis in AOSD, the therapeutic practicalities of pyroptosis target drugs in AOSD, and the therapeutic blueprint of other pyroptosis target drugs.

Abstract
Objectives We investigated whether soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) reflects cross-sectional activity of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Methods Forty-seven MPA and 32 GPA patients with well-documented clinical records and stored sera were enrolled. sTREM-1 levels were evaluated using Magnetic Luminex® assay, and disease activity was assessed using Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS). Patients were divided into two groups according to the upper and lower halves of BVAS. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify cut-off for determining upper half of BVAS. Linear and binary logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between sTREM-1 and disease activity and status. Results The median age of patients was 67.0 years, and 58.2 % were women. The median BVAS and sTREM-1 were 12.0 and 467.1 pg/mL. sTREM-1 was significantly correlated with BVAS along with five-factor score, Short-Form 36-Item Health Surveys, and C-reactive protein. In multivariable linear regression analysis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (standardised β 0.241), and sTREM-1 (standardised β 0.288) were correlated with BVAS. ROC analysis revealed that the cut-off of sTREM-1 for the upper half of BVAS was 474.1 pg/mL. MPA and GPA patients with sTREM-1 ≥474.1 pg/mL exhibited a significantly higher risk for the upper half of BVAS than those without (relative risk 5.932). Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated sTREM-1 ≥474.1 pg/mL (odds ratio 5.662) was associated with the upper half of BVAS. Conclusion sTREM-1 reflects the activity of MPA and GPA, suggesting its role as a potential biomarker for assessing disease severity.

Abstract
The diagnosis of sepsis still lacks a practical and reliable gold standard. The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) combined with soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) in the diagnosis of sepsis through the correlation between sTREM-1, sST2, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores. Baseline data of 91 patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit were collected, sTREM-1 and sST2 were detected, and the correlation between markers and SOFA score was analyzed. Besides, the prognostic value of baseline and postadmission indicators for sepsis was analyzed with death as the outcome. The results showed that the expressions of sST2 and sTREM-1 in death group and survival group were higher than those in the survival group (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that sST2, sTREM-1, and the joint diagnosis model had a high correlation with SOFA score (p < 0.05), but poor correlation with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score (p > 0.05). Among them, joint diagnosis model has the highest correlation. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that combined diagnosis had higher area under curve values. sTREM-1/sST2 can be better used in the diagnosis of sepsis than the single biomarker detection, and the combination of the above two biomarkers has potential application value in the detection and prognosis prediction of sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immuno-receptor Triggering Expressed on Myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is activated during bacterial infectious diseases, where it amplifies the inflammatory response. Small studies suggest that TREM-1 could be involved in viral infections, including COVID-19. We here aim to decipher whether plasma concentration of the soluble form of TREM-1 (sTREM-1) could predict the outcome of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. METHODS We conducted a multicentre prospective observational study in 3 university hospitals in France. Consecutive hospitalized patients with confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2 were enrolled. Plasma concentration of sTREM-1 was measured on admission and then at days 4, 6, 8, 14, 21, and 28 in patients admitted into an ICU (ICU cohort: ICUC) or 3 times a week for patients hospitalized in a medical ward (Conventional Cohort: ConvC). Clinical and biological data were prospectively recorded and patients were followed-up for 90 days. For medical ward patients, the outcome was deemed complicated in case of requirement of increased oxygen supply > 5 L/min, transfer to an ICU, or death. For Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients, complicated outcome was defined by death in the ICU. RESULTS Plasma concentration of sTREM-1 at inclusion was higher in ICU patients (n = 269) than in medical ward patients (n = 562) (224 pg/mL (IQR 144-320) vs 147 pg/mL (76-249), p < 0.0001), and higher in patients with a complicated outcome in both cohorts: 178 (94-300) vs 135 pg/mL (70-220), p < 0.0001 in the ward patients, and 342 (288-532) vs 206 pg/mL (134-291), p < 0.0001 in the ICU patients. Elevated sTREM-1 baseline concentration was an independent predictor of complicated outcomes (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.5 (1.1-2.1), p = 0.02 in ward patients; HR = 3.8 (1.8-8.0), p = 0.0003 in ICU patients). An sTREM-1 plasma concentration of 224 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 42%, and a specificity of 76% in the ConvC for complicated outcome. In the ICUC, a 287 pg/mL cutoff had a sensitivity of 78%, and a specificity of 74% for death. The sTREM-1 concentrations increased over time in the ConvC patients with a complicated outcome (p = 0.017), but not in the ICUC patients. CONCLUSIONS In COVID-19 patients, plasma concentration of sTREM-1 is an independent predictor of the outcome, although its positive and negative likelihood ratio are not good enough to guide clinical decision as a standalone marker.

Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery leads to deleterious systemic inflammation. We hypothesized that TREM-1, a myeloid receptor shed after activation, drives systemic inflammation during CPB. Methods Prospective observational bi-centric study. Blood analysis (flow cytometry and ELISA) before and at H2 and H24 after CPB. Inclusion of adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery with CPB. Results TREM-1 expression on neutrophils decreased between H0 and H2 while soluble (s)TREM-1 plasma levels increased. sTREM-1 levels increased at H2 and at H24 (p < 0.001). IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and TNF-α, but not IL-1β, significantly increased at H2 compared to H0 (p < 0.001), but dropped at H24. Principal component analysis showed a close relationship between sTREM-1 and IL-8. Three patterns of patients were identified: Profile 1 with high baseline sTREM-1 levels and high increase and profile 2/3 with low/moderate baseline sTREM-1 levels and no/moderate increase overtime. Profile 1 patients developed more severe organ failure after CPB, with higher norepinephrine dose, higher SOFA score and more frequently acute kidney injury at both H24 and H48. Acute atrial fibrillation was also more frequent in profile 1 patients at H24 (80% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.001). After adjustment on age and duration of CPB, H0, H2 and H24 sTREM-1 levels remained associated with prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay. Conclusions Baseline sTREM-1 levels as well as early kinetics after cardiac surgery identified patients at high risk of post-operative complications and prolonged length of stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced mortality occurs predominantly in older patients. Several immunomodulating therapies seem less beneficial in these patients. The biological substrate behind these observations is unknown. The aim of this study was to obtain insight into the association between ageing, the host response and mortality in patients with COVID-19. METHODS We determined 43 biomarkers reflective of alterations in four pathophysiological domains: endothelial cell and coagulation activation, inflammation and organ damage, and cytokine and chemokine release. We used mediation analysis to associate ageing-driven alterations in the host response with 30-day mortality. Biomarkers associated with both ageing and mortality were validated in an intensive care unit and external cohort. RESULTS 464 general ward patients with COVID-19 were stratified according to age decades. Increasing age was an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality. Ageing was associated with alterations in each of the host response domains, characterised by greater activation of the endothelium and coagulation system and stronger elevation of inflammation and organ damage markers, which was independent of an increase in age-related comorbidities. Soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1, soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 and soluble thrombomodulin showed the strongest correlation with ageing and explained part of the ageing-driven increase in 30-day mortality (proportion mediated: 13.0%, 12.9% and 12.6%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ageing is associated with a strong and broad modification of the host response to COVID-19, and specific immune changes likely contribute to increased mortality in older patients. These results may provide insight into potential age-specific immunomodulatory targets in COVID-19.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of TREM-1 inhibition with nangibotide in patients with COVID-19 receiving respiratory support: the ESSENTIAL randomised, double-blind trial. EClinicalMedicine 2023:102013. [PMCID: PMC10231876 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Activation of the TREM-1 pathway is associated with outcome in life threatening COVID-19. Data suggest that modulation of this pathway with nangibotide, a TREM-1 modulator may improve survival in TREM-1 activated patients (identified using the biomarker sTREM-1). Methods Phase 2 double-blind randomized controlled trial assessing efficacy, safety, and optimum treatment population of nangibotide (1.0 mg/kg/h) compared to placebo. Patients aged 18–75 years were eligible within 7 days of SARS-CoV-2 documentation and within 48 h of the onset of invasive or non-invasive respiratory support because of COVID-19-related ARDS. Patients were included from September 2020 to April 2022, with a pause in recruitment between January and August 2021. Primary outcome was the improvement in clinical status defined by a seven-point ordinal scale in the overall population with a planned sensitivity analysis in the subgroup of patients with a sTREM-1 level above the median value at baseline (high sTREM-1 group). Secondary endpoints included safety and all-cause 28-day and day 60 mortality. The study was registered in EudraCT (2020-001504-42) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04429334). Findings The study was stopped after 220 patients had been recruited. Of them, 219 were included in the mITT analysis. Nangibotide therapy was associated with an improved clinical status at day 28. Fifty-two (52.0%) of patients had improved in the placebo group compared to 77 (64.7%) of the nangibotide treated population, an odds ratio (95% CI) for improvement of 1.79 (1.02–3.14), p = 0.043. In the high sTREM-1 population, 18 (32.7%) of placebo patients had improved by day 28 compared to 26 (48.1%) of treated patients, an odds ratio (95% CI) of 2.17 (0.96–4.90), p = 0.063 was observed. In the overall population, 28 (28.0%) of placebo treated patients were not alive at the day 28 visit compared to 19 (16.0%) of nangibotide treated patients, an absolute improvement (95% CI) in all-cause mortality at day 28, adjusted for baseline clinical status of 12.1% (1.18–23.05). In the high sTREM-1 population (n = 109), 23 (41.8%) of patients in the placebo group and 12 (22.2%) of patients in the nangibotide group were not alive at day 28, an adjusted absolute reduction in mortality of 19.9% (2.78–36.98). The rate of treatment emergent adverse events was similar in both placebo and nangibotide treated patients. Interpretation Whilst the study was stopped early due to low recruitment rate, the ESSENTIAL study demonstrated that TREM-1 modulation with nangibotide is safe in COVID-19, and results in a consistent pattern of improved clinical status and mortality compared to placebo. The relationship between sTREM-1 and both risk of death and treatment response merits further evaluation of nangibotide using precision medicine approaches in life threatening viral pneumonitis.

Abstract
Purpose To determine whether soluble-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) could serve as a reliable diagnostic biomarker of post-traumatic bacterial endophthalmitis (PTBE). Methods Thirty-two patients (32 eyes) clinically diagnosed having PTBE were further divided into a culture-positive (CP) group and a culture-negative (CN) group. Sixty-two patients (62 eyes) without traumatic endophthalmic infection were also enrolled. Twenty-one eyes from 11 donors without globe ocular injuries were included as control group. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were detected by ELISA. The expression and tissue distribution of TREM-1 were revealed by immunohistochemistry. The diagnostic value of sTREM-1 was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The correlation between sTREM-1 concentration and final best-corrected visual acuity (FBCVA) and Peyman endophthalmitis score (PES) were also assessed. Results The vitreous sTREM-1 level in the PTBE group was higher than that in noninfected group and control group (P < 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the CP group and the CN group in vitreous sTREM-1 levels (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference was found between the noninfected group and the control group (P > 0.05). No remarkable difference in TREM-1 level was found before and after intravitreal antibiotics (P > 0.05). TREM-1 was selectively highly expressed on the surface of cell membrane of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages infiltrated in vitreous and uveal of the PTBE group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79 (>0.75), with a medium diagnostic efficiency. The sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1 to differentiate PTBE from the noninfected intraocular condition were 62.50% and 86.25% separately. A cutoff value >524.50 pg/mL for sTREM-1 was predicted to be PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels in PTBE group were positively correlated with PES (r = 0.428, P < 0.05). However, sTREM-1 levels and FBCVA did not significantly correlate with one another (P > 0.05). Conclusions The sTREM-1 was a promising diagnostic biomarker of PTBE, especially CN-PTBE. Vitreous sTREM-1 levels were linked with intraocular inflammation levels and severity of PTBE.

Abstract
Sepsis-acquired immunosuppression may play a major role in patients' prognosis through increased risk of secondary infections. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) is an innate immune receptor involved in cellular activation. Its soluble form (sTREM-1) has been described as a robust marker of mortality in sepsis. The objective of this study was to evaluate its association with the occurrence of nosocomial infections alone or in combination with human leucocyte antigen-DR on monocytes (mHLA-DR). DESIGN Observational study. SETTING University Hospital in France. PATIENTS One hundred sixteen adult septic shock patients as a post hoc study from the IMMUNOSEPSIS cohort (NCT04067674). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Plasma sTREM-1 and monocyte HLA-DR were measured at day 1 or 2 (D1/D2), D3/D4, and D6/D8 after admission. Associations with nosocomial infection were evaluated through multivariable analyses. At D6/D8, both markers were combined, and association with increased risk of nosocomial infection was evaluated in the subgroup of patients with most deregulated markers in a multivariable analysis with death as a competing risk. Significantly decreased mHLA-DR at D6/D8 and increased sTREM-1 concentrations were measured at all time points in nonsurvivors compared with survivors. Decreased mHLA-DR at D6/D8 was significantly associated with increased risk of secondary infections after adjustment for clinical parameters with a subdistribution hazard ratio of 3.61 (95% CI, 1.39-9.34; p = 0.008). At D6/D8, patients with persistently high sTREM-1 and decreased mHLA-DR presented with a significantly increased risk of infection (60%) compared with other patients (15.7%). This association remained significant in the multivariable model (subdistribution hazard ratio [95% CI], 4.65 [1.98-10.9]; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In addition to its prognostic interest on mortality, sTREM-1, when combined with mHLA-DR, may help to better identify immunosuppressed patients at risk of nosocomial infections.

Abstract
Every year, dengue is responsible for 400 million infections worldwide. Inflammation is related to the development of severe forms of dengue. Neutrophils are a heterogeneous cell population with a key role in the immune response. During viral infection, neutrophils are mainly recruited to the infection site; however, their excessive activation is linked to deleterious results. During dengue infection, neutrophils are involved in the pathogenesis through neutrophils extracellular traps production, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-8 secretion. However, other molecules regulate the neutrophil role during viral infection. TREM-1 is expressed on neutrophils and its activation is related to increased production of inflammatory mediators. CD10 is expressed on mature neutrophils and has been associated with the regulation of neutrophil migration and immunosuppression. However, the role of both molecules during viral infection is limited, particularly during dengue infection. Here, we report for the first time that DENV-2 can significantly increase TREM-1 and CD10 expression as well as sTREM-1 production in cultured human neutrophils. Furthermore, we observed that treatment with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, a molecule mostly produced in severe cases of dengue, is capable of inducing the overexpression of TREM-1 and CD10 on human neutrophils. These results suggest the participation of neutrophil CD10 and TREM-1 in the pathogenesis of dengue infection.

Circulating sTREM-1 as a predictive biomarker of pediatric multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). Cytokine 2023; 161:156084.

Abstract
The exacerbation of the inflammatory response caused by SARS-CoV-2 in adults promotes the production of soluble mediators that could act as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for COVID-19. Among the potential biomarkers, the soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1) has been described as a predictor of inflammation severity. The aim was to evaluate sTREM-1 and cytokine serum concentrations in pediatric patients during the acute and convalescent phases of COVID-19. This was a prospective study that included 53 children/adolescents with acute COVID-19 (Acute-CoV group); 54 who recovered from COVID-19 (Post-CoV group) and 54 controls (Control group). Preexisting chronic conditions were present in the three groups, which were defined as follows: immunological diseases, neurological disorders, and renal and hepatic failures. The three groups were matched by age, sex, and similar preexisting chronic conditions. No differences in sTREM-1 levels were detected among the groups or when the groups were separately analyzed by preexisting chronic conditions. However, sTREM-1 analysis in the seven multisystemic inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C) within the Acute-Cov group showed that sTREM-1 concentrations were higher in MIS-C vs non-MIS-C acute patients. Then, the receiver operating curve analysis (ROC) performed with MIS-C acute patients revealed a significant AUC of 0.870, and the sTREM-1 cutoff value of > 5781 pg/mL yielded a sensitivity of 71.4 % and a specificity of 91.3 % for disease severity, and patients with sTREM-1 levels above this cutoff presented an elevated risk for MIS-C development in 22.85-fold (OR = 22.85 [95 % CI 1.64-317.5], p = 0.02). The cytokine analyses in the acute phase revealed that IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 concentrations were elevated regardless of whether the patient developed MIS-C, and those levels decreased in the convalescent phase, even when compared with controls. Spearman correlation analysis generated positive indexes between sTREM-1 and IL-12 and TNF-α concentrations, only within the Acute-CoV group. Our findings revealed that sTREM-1 in pediatric patients has good predictive accuracy as an early screening tool for surveillance of MIS-C cases, even in patients with chronic underlying conditions.

Abstract
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is associated with elevated serum levels of extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP), a damage-associated molecular pattern released during ischemia/reperfusion injury, hemorrhagic shock, and sepsis. It is unknown if circulating eCIRP and eCIRP-induced activation of receptor triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1), expressed on endothelial cells, play an important role in the pathogenesis of AKI. Methods: Male B6 wild-type (WT) and TREM-1−/− mice were subjected to intravenous injection of recombinant murine (rm) CIRP. Serum, urine, and renal tissue were collected 6 h later for analysis. Additionally, primary human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGEC) were stimulated in vitro with rmCIRP after pretreatment with M3, a novel inhibitory peptide of TREM-1, or vehicle. Supernatants and cells were collected 20 h after stimulation. Results: After injection with rmCIRP, WT mice had a significant increase in serum levels of BUN, creatinine, and NGAL compared to control. Additionally, NGAL was significantly increased in the urine of rmCIRP-injected mice, suggesting that circulating eCIRP can directly induce AKI. The levels of TREM-1 mRNA in the kidneys, as well as soluble (s) TREM-1 released into the serum and urine, were significantly increased in rmCIRP-injected mice. TREM-1−/− mice injected with rmCIRP had attenuated AKI, indicated by significantly decreased serum BUN, creatinine, and NGAL, and renal mRNA expression of NGAL and KIM-1 compared to WT mice. TREM-1−/− mice also had attenuated endothelial activation, with decreased mRNA and protein expression of ICAM-1 in renal tissue. HRGEC stimulated with rmCIRP in vitro had significant increases in cytokine production and sTREM-1 release, which was attenuated in cells treated with M3. Conclusion: Activation of renal TREM-1 with circulating eCIRP is sufficient to cause AKI. Elevated levels of eCIRP may be critical for the development of AKI under conditions such as ischemia/reperfusion injury, hemorrhagic shock, and sepsis. Mice deficient in the TREM-1 receptor have attenuated AKI and reduced endothelial cell activation after injection of rmCIRP. TREM-1 inhibition with M3 attenuates HRGEC activation after eCIRP stimulation. Targeting eCIRP activation of TREM-1 may provide a novel and effective treatment for AKI.

Changes in Biomarkers and Hemodynamics According to Antibiotic Susceptibility in a Model of Bacteremia. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0086422. [PMID: 35862959 PMCID: PMC9430499 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00864-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Proper selection of susceptible antibiotics in drug-resistant bacteria is critical to treat bloodstream infection. Although biomarkers that guide antibiotic therapy have been extensively evaluated, little is known about host biomarkers targeting in vivo antibiotic susceptibility. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the trends of hemodynamics and biomarkers in a porcine bacteremia model treated with insusceptible antibiotics compared to those in susceptible models. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli, 5.0 * 10^9 CFU) was intravenously administered to 11 male pigs. One hour after bacterial infusion, pigs were assigned to two groups of antibiotics, ceftriaxone (n = 6) or ertapenem (n = 5). Pigs were monitored up to 7 h after bacterial injection with fluid and vasopressor support to maintain the mean arterial blood pressure over 65 mmHg. Blood sampling for blood culture and plasma acquisition was performed before and every predefined hour after E. coli injection. Cytokine (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, presepsin, heparan sulfate, syndecan, and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 [sTREM-1]) levels in plasma were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Bacteremia developed after intravenous injection of E. coli, and negative conversion was confirmed only in the ertapenem group. While trends of other biomarkers failed to show differences, the trend of sTREM-1 was significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.0001, two-way repeated measures analysis of variance). Among hemodynamics and biomarkers, the sTREM-1 level at post 2 h after antibiotics administration represented a significant difference depending on susceptibility, which can be suggested as a biomarker candidate of in vivo antibiotics susceptibility. Further clinical studies are warranted for validation. IMPORTANCE Early and appropriate antibiotic treatment is a keystone in treating patients with sepsis. Despite its importance, blood culture which requires a few days remains as a pillar of diagnostic method for microorganisms and their antibiotic susceptibility. Whether changes in biomarkers and hemodynamics indicate treatment response of susceptible antibiotic compared to resistant one is not well understood to date. In this study using extended-spectrum β-lactamase -producing E. coli bacteremia porcine model, we have demonstrated the comprehensive cardiovascular hemodynamics and trends of plasma biomarkers in sepsis and compared them between two groups with susceptible and resistant antibiotics. While other hemodynamics and biomarkers have failed to differ, we have identified that levels of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) significantly differed between the two groups over time. Based on the data in this study, trends of sTREM-1 obtained before the antibiotics and 2~4 h after the antibiotics could be a novel host biomarker that triggers the step-up choice of antibiotics.

Abstract
Inflammation is recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Indeed, strong evidence indicates that chronic inflammation plays a major role in oncogenesis, promoting genome instability, epigenetic alterations, proliferation and dissemination of cancer cells. Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) have been identified as key contributors of the inflammatory infiltrate in several solid human neoplasia, promoting angiogenesis and cancer progression. One of the most described amplifiers of MPs pro-inflammatory innate immune response is the triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1). Growing evidence suggests TREM-1 involvement in oncogenesis through cancer related inflammation and the surrounding tumor microenvironment. In human oncology, high levels of TREM-1 and/or its soluble form have been associated with poorer survival data in several solid malignancies, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer. TREM-1 should be considered as a potential biomarker in human oncology and could be used as a new therapeutic target of interest in human oncology (TREM-1 inhibitors, TREM-1 agonists). More clinical studies are urgently needed to confirm TREM-1 (and TREM family) roles in the prognosis and the treatment of human solid cancers.

Abstract
Malaria is a major health issue with more than 200 million cases occurring annually. Moreover, in Malaria endemic area are frequently observed Malaria-enteroparasite co-infections associated with the modulation of inflammatory response. In this aspect, biomarkers play an important role in the disease prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory mediators in malaria during coinfection with enteroparasites. A subset of serum samples already collected was analyzed and divided into four groups: Malaria (n = 34), Co-infected (n = 116), Enteroparasite (n = 120) and Control (n = 95). The serum levels of sTREM-1 and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. TNF-α, and IL-10 levels were previously carried out by flow cytometry. Higher serum levels of sTREM-1 and IL-6 were showed in malaria patients compared to healthy controls. In co-infected malarial patients sTREM-1 serum levels were similar to control group. Interestingly, co-infected malaria patients showed IL-6 serum levels decreased compared to individuals only infected with P. vivax. However, in Malaria patients and co-infected there was a positive correlation between the IL-6 and IL-10 levels (P < 0.0001). This is the first report of sTREM-1 levels in P. vivax infected. Moreover, the results revealing a divergent effect of co-infection with the increased balance between pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines and reduced IL-6 levels but increases the anemia occurrence. The results also highlight the potential use of IL-6 as a biomarker for P. vivax and enteroparasites coinfection.

Abstract
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a pattern recognition receptor, which can be upregulated in inflammatory diseases as an amplifier of immune responses. Once activated, TREM-1 induces the production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, in addition to increasing its own expression and circulating levels of the cleaved soluble extracellular portion of TREM-1 (sTREM-1). This amplification of the inflammatory response by TREM-1 has now been considered as a critical contributor to the dysregulated immune responses in sepsis. Studies have shown that in septic patients there is an elevated expression of TREM-1 on immune cells and increased circulating levels of sTREM-1, associated with increased mortality. As a result, a considerable effort has been made towards identifying endogenous ligands of TREM-1 and developing TREM-1 inhibitory peptides to attenuate the exacerbated inflammatory response in sepsis. TREM-1 modulation has proven a promising strategy for the development of therapeutic agents to treat sepsis. Therefore, this review encompasses the ligands investigated as activators of TREM-1 thus far and highlights the development and efficacy of novel inhibitors for the treatment of sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
An investigation of innate immunity receptors sheds light on the mechanisms of inflammation and associated immune reactions. One of the key immune regulators is the TREM-1 receptor, which is involved in both inflammation and antitumor immune response. In this article, we have obtained a new ligand for the TREM-1 receptor. The peptide, named N3, is a part of the innate immune protein PGLYRP1/Tag7. It is responsible for activating the TREM-1 signaling pathway. Here, we have demonstrated that the N3 peptide acts like other TREM-1 receptor ligands: its binding results in a mild inflammation response and appearance of cytotoxic lymphocytes. We have shown that cytotoxic populations of lymphocytes in N3 peptide-treated PBMCs are similar to those treated with Tag7 or Hsp70. We also determined the part of the N3 peptide responsible for binding to TREM-1. The resulting peptide (N9) consists of nine amino acids and can be considered as a potential peptide that blocks TREM-1 signaling.

Abstract
Introduction Current diagnostic tools for schistosomiasis are limited, and new tests are necessary to enhance disease diagnosis and surveillance. Identification of novel disease-specific biomarkers may facilitate the development of such tests. We evaluated a panel of biomarkers used in sepsis and parasitic diseases for their potential suitability in the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Objective The study evaluated the levels of systemic plasma biomarkers in relation to Schistosoma mansoni infection and parasite burden. Methods Six biomarkers were measured in the plasma of children from schistosomiasis-endemic regions using ELISA. The concentration of soluble CD23 (sCD23) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was tested in 199 and 124 plasma samples, respectively, while interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid (sTREM) cells, eotaxin-1, and fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) concentrations were tested in 30 plasma samples. Results The concentration of IL-6, eotaxin-1, FABP, and LPS was similar between schistosome-infected and uninfected children. The schistosome-infected children had higher median levels of sTREM and sCD23 as compared to uninfected children, 119.0 (29.9-208.9) versus 10.7 (0.0-73.4) (p = 0.046) and 2,549.0 (1,899.0-3,356.0) vs. 2,035.0 (1,448.0-2,939.0) (p = 0.05), respectively. In addition, sTREM was positively correlated with egg density (p = 0.017). Conclusion Our data show that active schistosomiasis per se is associated with elevated levels of sTREM and sCD23. sTREM has potential diagnostic and prognostic values. However, these biomarkers did not distinguish between children with low egg burden and uninfected children.

Abstract
Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is a soluble form of TREM-1 released during inflammation. Elevated sTREM-1 levels have been found in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) patients; yet, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the role of sTREM-1 in brain damage and its underlying mechanism. The sTREM-1 recombinant protein (2.5 μg/3 μL) was injected into the lateral ventricle of C57BL/6 female mice. After intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection, the damage in hippocampal neurons increased, and the loss of neuronal synapses and activation of microglia increased compared to the control mice (treated with saline). In vitro. after sTREM-1 stimulation, the apoptosis of BV2 cells decreased, the polarization of BV2 cells shifted to the M1 phenotype, the phagocytic function of BV2 cells significantly improved, while the PI3K-AKT signal pathway was activated in vivo and in vitro. PI3K-AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 reversed the excessive activation and phagocytosis of microglia caused by sTREM-1 in vivo and in vitro, which in turn improved the hippocampus damage. These results indicated that sTREM-1 activated the microglial by the PI3K-AKT signal pathway, and promoted its excessive phagocytosis of the neuronal synapse, thus inducing hippocampal damage. sTREM-1 might be a potential target for inducing brain lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Innate immune dysregulation may contribute to age-related differences in outcomes among critically ill adults. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is an important innate immune marker with prognostic value in sepsis, but age-related differences have not been studied. METHODS This was a prospective cohort from a large tertiary care hospital enrolling adults from both medical and trauma-surgical intensive care units (ICUs). Plasma sTREM-1 was measured in participants within 24 h of ICU admission. We analyzed associations between age (≤50 and >50 years) and sTREM-1 using linear regression. We then examined associations between sTREM-1 and both 28-day mortality and persistent organ dysfunction (defined as need for dialysis, vasopressors, or invasive mechanical ventilation) 7 days following admission using relative risk regression. RESULTS Of 231 critically ill adults, older patients (n = 122) had higher prevalence of chronic disease and sepsis on enrollment than younger patients, but acute illness severity was similar. Age over 50 was associated with 27% higher sTREM-1 concentrations (95% CI 6%-53%), adjusted for sex and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). Two-fold higher sTREM-1 was associated with 2.42-fold higher risk for mortality (95% CI 1.57, 3.73) and 1.86-fold higher risk for persistent organ dysfunction (95% CI 1.45, 2.39), adjusted for sex, CCI, and age. CONCLUSIONS sTREM-1 was elevated among critically ill older adults, and strongly associated with both death and persistent organ dysfunction. Immune responses associated with sTREM-1 may contribute to age-related differences in ICU outcomes, warranting further study as a potential therapeutic target in older adults.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The low-grade inflammatory state present in obesity leads to the development and perpetuation of comorbidities associated with obesity. Our laboratory has been working for several years on an amplification loop of the inflammatory response mediated by TREM-1 (Triggering Receptor of Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1). It is implicated in many acute (septic shock) and chronic (IBD) inflammatory diseases. Previously, TREM-1 has been shown to be overexpressed in adipose and liver tissue in obese and diabetic patients, but its impact has never been characterized in these pathologies. METHODS Our hypothesis is that TREM-1 plays a major role in the generation and perpetuation of inflammation during obesity and its associated complication (Insulin resistance and cardiac dysfunction). We assessed TREM-1 protein expression by western blot and immunofluorescence in omental and subcutaneous (pre-)adipocyte. Moreover, we submitted mice to a high-fat diet and investigated the effects of the genetic Trem1 deletion (trem1 KO mice). RESULTS We showed, for the first time, that TREM-1 is expressed and is functional in subcutaneous and omental (pre-)adipocytes. In the mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity, we found that Trem1 suppression limited weight gain, insulin resistance and inflammation in white adipose tissue and liver. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Our results reveal the trem1 KO model can be viewed as a preventive model and that TREM-1 seems to play an important role in the development of obesity and its associated complication. It could therefore be a new therapeutic target in this context.
