Abstract
ABSTRACT Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. As an amplifier of the inflammatory response, TREM-1 is mainly involved in the production of inflammatory mediators and the regulation of cell survival. TREM-1 has been studied in infectious diseases and more recently in non-infectious disorders. More and more studies have shown that TREM-1 plays an important pathogenic role in kidney diseases. There is evidence that TREM-1 can not only be used as a biomarker for diagnosis of disease but also as a potential therapeutic target to guide the development of novel therapeutic agents for kidney disease. This review summarized molecular biology of TREM-1 and its signaling pathways as well as immune response in the progress of acute kidney injury, renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, immune nephropathy, and renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Sepsis poses a significant threat to human health due to its high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Traditional diagnostic methods for identifying sepsis or its causative organisms are time-consuming and contribute to a high mortality rate. Biomarkers have been developed to overcome these limitations and are currently used for sepsis diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and treatment response assessment. Over the past few decades, more than 250 biomarkers have been identified, a few of which have been used in clinical decision-making. Consistent with the limitations of diagnosing sepsis, there is currently no specific treatment for sepsis. Currently, the general treatment for sepsis is conservative and includes timely antibiotic use and hemodynamic support. When planning sepsis-specific treatment, it is important to select the most suitable patient, considering the heterogeneous nature of sepsis. This comprehensive review summarizes current and evolving biomarkers and therapeutic approaches for sepsis.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal disease primarily affecting premature neonates, marked by poorly understood pro-inflammatory signaling cascades. Recent advancements have shed light on a subset of endogenous molecular patterns, termed chromatin-associated molecular patterns (CAMPs), which belong to the broader category of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). CAMPs play a crucial role in recognizing pattern recognition receptors and orchestrating inflammatory responses. This review focuses into the realm of CAMPs, highlighting key players such as extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), cell-free DNA, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), histones, and extracellular RNA. These intrinsic molecules, often perceived as foreign, have the potential to trigger immune signaling pathways, thus contributing to NEC pathogenesis. In this review, we unravel the current understanding of the involvement of CAMPs in both preclinical and clinical NEC scenarios. We also focus on elucidating the downstream signaling pathways activated by these molecular patterns, providing insights into the mechanisms that drive inflammation in NEC. Moreover, we scrutinize the landscape of targeted therapeutic approaches, aiming to mitigate the impact of tissue damage in NEC. This in-depth exploration offers a comprehensive overview of the role of CAMPs in NEC, bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical insights.

Abstract
AIM Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) and peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1) are elevated in biofluids in the presence of various inflammatory conditions. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the effect of age, sex, smoking and different oral and systemic non-communicable diseases on the levels of TREM-1 and PGLYRP1 in saliva. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 445 individuals (mean age 48.7 ± 16.9 years, female:male 51%:49%) were included. All provided self-reported information on smoking and systemic diseases and whole stimulated saliva. Periodontal and cariological parameters were recorded. Salivary levels of TREM-1, PGLYRP1 and total protein were measured using commercially available assays. RESULTS Salivary TREM-1 levels were significantly higher in stages III-IV periodontitis compared to other periodontal diagnoses (p < .05). Smoking, bleeding on probing (BOP), percentage of pockets ≥4 mm and the number of manifest caries were associated with TREM-1 (p < .05), while sex, BOP, number of manifest caries and muscle and joint diseases were associated with PGLYRP1 (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Salivary TREM-1 is associated with periodontitis and caries, while PGLYRP1 is associated with gingival inflammation and caries. Additionally, TREM-1 levels are modified by smoking, while PGLYRP1 is modified by sex and muscle and joint diseases. TREM-1 and PGLYRP1 in saliva could serve as potential biomarkers for detecting and monitoring non-communicable diseases.

Abstract
Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREMs) encompass a family of cell-surface receptors chiefly expressed by granulocytes, monocytes and tissue macrophages. These receptors have been implicated in inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, bone remodelling, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis and cancer. Here, I review the structure, ligands, signalling modes and functions of TREMs in humans and mice and discuss the challenges that remain in understanding TREM biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREMs) and their ligand, peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP-1), have been detected in secretions from patients with inflammatory diseases, which may lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Here, we aimed to analyze the association between salivary concentrations of soluble (s)TREM-1 and PGLYRP-1 with death and cardiovascular disease before and after kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva samples from 53 patients on dialysis were collected during their regular dental evaluation before treatment and after kidney transplantation. Oral inflammatory burden was assessed from panoramic radiographs and full-mouth dental examination. Demographic data, graft function, patient survival, and history of major cardiovascular events (MACEs) were retrieved from hospital records. RESULTS Salivary sTREM-1 before transplantation increased the odds for death and MACE. In addition, PGLYRP-1 increased the odds for MACE before transplantation. After transplantation, neither salivary sTREM-1 nor PGLYRP-1 increased the odds for death or MACE, probably because of the previous eradication of oral inflammatory foci. None of the studied biomarkers correlated with kidney transplant function. CONCLUSIONS Salivary sTREM-1 and PGLYRP-1 before transplantation were associated with MACE and death. The utility of salivary proinflammatory biomarkers for risk stratification in kidney transplant candidates requires further investigation.

Abstract
Inflammatory cells are major players in the onset of cancer. The degree of inflammation and type of inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are responsible for tilting the balance between tumor progression and regression. Cancer-related inflammation has also been shown to influence the efficacy of conventional therapy. Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) represent a major component of the inflammatory circuit that promotes tumor progression. Despite their potential to activate immunosurveillance and exert anti-tumor responses, MPs are subverted by the tumor to support its growth, immune evasion, and spread. MP responses in the TME are dictated by a network of stimuli integrated through the cross-talk between activatory and inhibitory receptors. Alterations in receptor expression/signaling can create excessive inflammation and, when chronic, promote tumorigenesis. Research advances have led to the development of new therapeutic strategies aimed at receptor targeting to induce a tumor-infiltrating MP switch from a cancer-supportive toward an anti-tumor phenotype, demonstrating efficacy in different human cancers. This review provides an overview of the role of MP receptors in inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis and discusses the most recent updates regarding their targeting for immunotherapeutic purposes. We focus in particular on the TREM-1 receptor, a major amplifier of MP inflammatory responses, highlighting its relevance in the development and progression of several types of inflammation-associated malignancies and the promises of its inhibition for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) is a receptor of the innate immune system, expressed mostly by myeloid cells and primarily associated with pro- inflammatory responses. Although the exact nature of its ligands has not yet been fully elucidated, many microorganisms or danger signals have been proposed as inducers of its activation or the secretion of sTREM-1, the soluble form with putative anti-inflammatory effects. In the course of the 20 years since its first description, several studies have investigated the involvement of TREM-1 in bacterial infections. However, the number of studies describing the role of TREM-1 in fungal, viral and parasite-associated infections has only increased in the last few years, showing a diverse contribution of the receptor in these scenarios, with beneficial or detrimental activities depending on the context. Therefore, this review aims to discuss how TREM-1 may influence viral, fungal and parasitic infection outcomes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of non-bacterial infectious diseases.

Abstract
Unambiguously, great progress has been achieved in the unraveling of more pathological pathways implicated in the development and progression of ulcerative colitis during the last decades. Novel effective drugs that have augmented the management armamentarium have been developed alongside this growing comprehension of the disease, rendering mucosal healing not only a feasible but the optimal goal of every therapy. Clinical evaluation, colonoscopy and biomarkers are the tools used by practitioners for the diagnosis and assessment of the status of the disease in order to achieve clinical remission and mucosal healing for their patients. Among these tools, colonoscopy is the gold method for the cause but is still an invasive, high-cost procedure with possible adverse events such as perforation. While clinical evaluation entails much subjectivity, biomarkers are objective, easily reproducible, non-invasive, cheap and potent surrogate tools of mucosal inflammation. Unfortunately, the well-established, currently in use serum biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and others, do not display sufficiently acceptable sensitivity and specificity rates for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and, most importantly, do not represent precisely the mucosal inflammation status of the disease. Therefore, the discovery of new serum biomarkers has been the cause of several studies attempting to discover an "optimal" serum biomarker during the recent years. After thorough research, collection and examination of current data, this review focuses on and selectively presents promising, potential, novel serum biomarkers of ulcerative colitis as they are indicated by studies on the patient over the last years.

Abstract
Alterations in Triggering Receptors Expressed on Myeloid cells (TREM-1/2) are bound to a variety of infectious, sterile inflammatory, and degenerative conditions, ranging from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to neurodegenerative disorders. TREMs are emerging as key players in pivotal mechanisms often concurring in IBD and neurodegeneration, namely microbiota dysbiosis, leaky gut, and inflammation. In conditions of dysbiosis, compounds released by intestinal bacteria activate TREMs on macrophages, leading to an exuberant pro-inflammatory reaction up to damage in the gut barrier. In turn, TREM-positive activated macrophages along with inflammatory mediators may reach the brain through the blood, glymphatic system, circumventricular organs, or the vagus nerve via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. This leads to a systemic inflammatory response which, in turn, impairs the blood-brain barrier, while promoting further TREM-dependent neuroinflammation and, ultimately, neural injury. Nonetheless, controversial results still exist on the role of TREM-2 compared with TREM-1, depending on disease specificity, stage, and degree of inflammation. Therefore, the present review aimed to provide an update on the role of TREMs in the pathophysiology of IBD and neurodegeneration. The evidence here discussed the highlights of the potential role of TREMs, especially TREM-1, in bridging inflammatory processes in intestinal and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the impact of the single nucleotide polymorphisms of rs34436714 of the NOD-like receptor protein 12 gene on the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)In a matched case-control study 90 patients with IBD, 56 with Crohn disease (CD) and 34 with ulcerative colitis, were genotyped and compared to 98 healthy comparators matched for age and gender. Expression level of TNFα, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells were measured in patients' sera. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and stimulated for TNFα production.Serum TNFα was greater among carriers of GT/TT genotypes than GG genotypes of rs34436714. Stimulated TNFα production was also higher in carriers of GT/TT genotypes. The frequency of CD with fistulizing behavior and with CD involving the small intestine was greater among carriers of GT/TT genotypes than of the GG genotype. Distribution of the GG, GT, and TT genotypes of rs34436714 were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both groups. The genotype distribution was the same in both groups.Carriage of minor frequency alleles of rs34436714 was accompanied by greater circulating levels of TNFα and by greater capacity for stimulated TNFα production by PBMCs. These alleles had an impact on the phenotype of patients with CD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sensitivities and specificities of clinical signs and biochemical tests in sepsis diagnosis are not satisfactory. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic usefulness of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) in sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock against interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, observational study was conducted in 85 adults with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock and 22 with non-infective systemic inflammatory response syndrome (NI-SIRS). Serum levels of sTREM-1, CRP, PCT and IL-6 were measured on admission. RESULTS Median serum sTREM-1 concentrations were higher in severe sepsis (540 pg/ml) and septic shock (536 pg/ml) in comparison with NI-SIRS patients (p < 0.05). There were no differences in sTREM-1 levels between NI-SIRS and sepsis. Similarly, CRP, PCT and IL-6 were significantly elevated in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock in comparison with NI-SIRS. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for diagnosis of severe sepsis showed higher discriminative value for CRP and IL-6 (AUC = 0.909, 95% CI: 0.829-0.99 and AUC = 0.854, 95% CI: 0.728-0.980, respectively) than sTREM-1 (AUC = 0.733, 95% CI: 0.596-0.870). In septic shock the highest AUC was found for CRP (AUC = 0.938, 95% CI: 0.872-1.0), lower for IL-6 (AUC = 0.869, 95% CI: 0.751-0.987), PCT (AUC = 0.828, 95% CI: 0.71-0.945) and sTREM-1 (AUC = 0.705, 95% CI: 0.553-0.856). CONCLUSIONS Serum level of sTREM-1 has lower effectiveness as a diagnostic biomarker in severe sepsis and septic shock, in comparison with CRP and IL-6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1)-like transcript 1 (sTLT-1) has a modulatory effect on the activation of TREM-1. We compared plasma sTLT-1 levels between patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and healthy individuals and determined the association between sTLT-1 levels and clinical features and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among patients with lupus. METHODS An unmatched case-control study was conducted in 46 patients with SLE and 28 healthy subjects. sTLT-1 plasma levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Demographic factors, SLE manifestations, comorbidities, pharmacologic profile, disease activity (per SLAM-R), damage accrual, and PROs (as per Lupus Patient-Reported Outcome [LupusPRO]) were studied. RESULTS Patients with SLE were found to have lower sTLT-1 levels compared with healthy individuals (9.0±7.2 vs. 18.6±22.3 pg/mL, p=0.008). Among patients with SLE, higher sTLT-1 levels were found in those taking corticosteroids (11.1±8.8 vs. 6.9±4.6 pg/mL, p=0.014). Significant correlations were found for the cognition (r=-0.442, p=0.027) and desires/goals (r=0.435, p=0.030) domains of LupusPRO. A tendency was observed between sTLT-1 levels and the SLAM-R (r=-0.278, p=0.064) and the lupus symptoms (r=-0.388, p=0.055) and physical health (r=-0.382, p=0.060) domains of LupusPRO. CONCLUSION Compared with healthy individuals, sTLT-1 levels were significantly lower in patients with SLE. Among patients with SLE, correlations were observed for some domains of LupusPRO. Given that sTLT-1 has anti-inflammatory properties, the deficiency of this protein could play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Abstract
Soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 (sTREM-1) can be found in the sera of patients with infectious, autoimmune and malignant diseases. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of sTREM-1 in lung cancer patients. We analyzed the sera of 164 patients with lung cancer of all histologies and all stages at the time of diagnosis. We employed an ELISA using the anti-TREM-1 clone 6B1.1G12 mAb and recombinant human TREM-1. Patient data was collected retrospectively by chart review. In ROC-analysis, a sTREM-1 serum level of 163.1 pg/ml showed the highest Youden-Index. At this cut-off value sTREM-1 was a marker of short survival in patients with NSCLC (median survival 8.5 vs. 13.3 months, p = 0.04). A Cox regression model showed stage (p < 0.001) and sTREM-1 (p = 0.011) to indicate short survival. There were no differences in sTREM-1 serum values among patients with or without infection, pleural effusion or COPD. sTREM-1 was not associated with metastasis at the time of diagnosis and was not a predictor of subsequent metastasis. In SCLC patients sTREM-1 levels were lower than in NSCLC patients (p = 0.001) and did not predict survival. sTREM-1 did not correlate with CRP or the number of neutrophils. In non-small cell lung cancer patients, sTREM-1 in serum has prognostic significance.

Abstract
Background Blocking of TREM-1 signaling improves survival of mice with sepsis induced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, whether TREM-1 blockade has beneficial effects in polymicrobial sepsis is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of modulation of the TREM-1 pathway in rats with polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Material/Methods Normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with sepsis induced by CLP were allocated randomly to received scramble peptide or LP17 via the jugular vein. Serum level of sTREM-1, IL6, TNF-α, and IL-1β were detected by ELISA assay. The mRNA and protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Results STREM-1 concentration was greatly and progressively increased in rats with CLP-induced sepsis, and the increase was attenuated by TREM-1 inhibitory peptide LP17. More than 60% survival was observed in rats at the experiment endpoint after LP17 treatment. TREM-1 blockade also attenuated the increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and thus attenuated systematic and distant inflammatory responses. Furthermore, TREM-1 blockade significantly attenuated the increased levels of pJAK2 and pSTAT3. Conclusions TREM-1 blockade by the use of an inhibitory peptide LP17 could prolong survival of rats with polymicrobial sepsis and attenuate systematic inflammatory responses through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Our results suggest that modulation of TREM-1 by a synthetic peptide might be a potential therapeutic option for polymicrobial sepsis.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) in predicting short-term therapeutic response to methotrexate (MTX) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients with active RA, with Disease Activity Score-28 joints (DAS-28) >3.2, starting oral MTX, were included. We measured at baseline, 3 and 6 mo: DAS-28, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), patient's perception of disease severity, morning stiffness and pain, as well as modifications in sTREM-1 levels. A reduction in DAS-28 > 1.2 at 3 or 6 mo was considered adequate response. A significant decrease in DAS-28 was observed at 3 and 6 mo. HAQ-DI also decreased at 3 and 6 mo. No significant changes were observed in sTREM-1 levels at 3 or 6 mo. Using as cut-off a baseline value of sTREM-1 levels > 390 pg/ml, we obtained low values of sensitivity (61.5%), specificity (59.3%), positive predictive value (59.3%) and negative predictive value (61.5%) for adequate response to MTX at 3 mo. We found no clinical value of sTREM-1 levels in predicting therapeutic response to MTX in RA. Further studies should evaluate if sTREM-1 levels are predictive for other outcomes, including higher structural damage or good response to biologics.

Abstract
CD354, Triggering Receptor of Myeloid Cells-1 (TREM-1), is a potent amplifier of myeloid immune responses. Our goal was to determine the expression and function of TREM-1 in immune-mediated nephritis. An anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody (anti-GBM)-induced nephritis model was employed, where mice were sensitized with rabbit IgG followed by anti-GBM serum to induce disease. Anti-GBM-treated 129x1/svJ mice developed severe nephritis whereas C57BL/6 (B6) mice were resistant to disease. Anti-GBM disease resulted in elevated renal TREM-1 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels and increased urine TREM-1 levels in 129x1/svJ. TREM-1 blockade with an inhibitory peptide, LP17, inhibited proteinuria and renal disease as measured by glomerulonephritis class, severity of tubulointerstitial disease, crescent formation, and inflammatory cell infiltrates. In sum, TREM-1 is upregulated in renal inflammation and plays a vital role in driving disease. Thus, TREM-1 blockade emerges as a potential therapeutic avenue for immune-mediated renal diseases such as lupus nephritis.

Abstract
Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR)-injury induces activation of innate immune response which sustains renal injury and contributes to the development of delayed graft function (DGF). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a pro-inflammatory evolutionary conserved pattern recognition receptor expressed on a variety of innate immune cells. TREM-1 expression increases following acute and chronic renal injury. However, the function of TREM-1 in renal IR is still unclear. Here, we investigated expression and function of TREM-1 in a murine model of renal IR using different TREM-1 inhibitors: LP17, LR12 and TREM-1 fusion protein. In a human study, we analyzed the association of non-synonymous single nucleotide variants in the TREM1 gene in a cohort comprising 1263 matching donors and recipients with post-transplant outcomes, including DGF. Our findings demonstrated that, following murine IR, renal TREM-1 expression increased due to the influx of Trem1 mRNA expressing cells detected by in situ hybridization. However, TREM-1 interventions by means of LP17, LR12 and TREM-1 fusion protein did not ameliorate IR-induced injury. In the human renal transplant cohort, donor and recipient TREM1 gene variant p.Thr25Ser was not associated with DGF, nor with biopsy-proven rejection or death-censored graft failure. We conclude that TREM-1 does not play a major role during experimental renal IR and after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Fusobacterium nucleatum has been associated with both periodontal disease and inflammatory bowel disease. This Gram-negative bacterium possesses a high inflammatory potential that may contribute to the disease process. We hypothesized that green and black tea polyphenols attenuate the inflammatory response of monocytes/macrophages mediated by F. nucleatum. We first showed that the tea extracts, EGCG and theaflavins reduce the NF-κB activation induced by F. nucleatum in monocytes. Since NF-κB is a key regulator of genes coding for inflammatory mediators, we tested the effects of tea polyphenols on secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and CXCL8 by macrophages. A pre-treatment of macrophages with the tea extracts, EGCG, or theaflavins prior to a stimulation with F. nucleatum significantly inhibited the secretion of all four cytokines and reduced the secretion of MMP-3 and MMP-9, two tissue destructive enzymes. TREM-1 expressed by macrophages is a cell-surface receptor involved in the propagation of the inflammatory response to bacterial challenges. Interestingly, tea polyphenols inhibited the secretion/shedding of soluble TREM-1 induced by a stimulation of macrophages with F. nucleatum. The anti-inflammatory properties of tea polyphenols identified in the present study suggested that they may be promising agents for the prevention and/or treatment of periodontal disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. TREM-1 has been implicated as an amplifier of inflammation. Soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) was investigated in different clinical conditions, but not in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We aimed to investigate sTREM-1 as a marker of inflammation in HD patients. We investigated 40 CKD patients undergoing chronic HD treatment and 15 controls. Routine laboratory investigations in addition to CRP measured by immunoturbidimetry, TNF- α, and sTREM-1 measured by ELISA were assayed in post-hemodialysis patients' blood samples and in controls' blood samples. CRP, TNF-α, and sTREM-1 levels were significantly higher in HD patients than in controls (p < 0.001 for all). sTREM-1 was positively correlated with CRP and TNF-α (r = +0.50, p < 0.001 and r = +0.53, p < 0.001 respectively). It was negatively correlated with hemoglobin concentration (r = -0.69, p < 0.001). Hemoglobin concentration was the significant predictor of sTREM-1 level (p < 0.001). In conclusion, sTREM-1 level is significantly increased in HD patients as are other pro-inflammatory markers.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 plays an important role in innate immune responses and is upregulated under infectious as well as non-infectious conditions. In addition, a soluble TREM-1 variant (sTREM-1) is detectable in sera or bronchoalveolar-lavage fluids from patients. Currently, various studies are difficult to compare, since the methods of detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) vary among different research groups. In this study, we compared three different s-TREM-1 specific ELISAs and identified individual assay characteristics finding notable differences in sTREM-1 concentrations in part depending on the employed buffers. Investigating potential confounding factors for sTREM-1 detection, serum heat-inactivation (HI) showed improved recovery compared to non-HI (NHI) serum, reproducible by addition of complement and re-heat-inactivation. Hence we identified complement as a heat-sensitive confounder in some sTREM-1 ELISAs. We conclude that it is difficult to directly compare data of several studies, in particular if different ELISAs are engaged. Immunoassays for research use only are in general hampered by lack of standardization. Further standardization is needed until sTREM-1 ELISA is capable for better reproducibility of studies and clinical application.

Abstract
Inflammation is tightly regulated by a vast system that is intricately interconnected with innate immunity. Aberrations in expression or signaling, such as in innate immune receptors, can create excessive inflammation and, when chronic, often promote oncogenesis. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells receptor family has been characterized as a major player in the amplification and signaling of the inflammatory response. In a number of chronic inflammatory conditions and malignancies, the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells has been implicated in disease severity and progression. In this article, the current understanding of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells function in pre-malignant, malignant and chronic inflammatory conditions is critically reviewed. The potential for therapeutic application is also discussed.

Abstract
The need for reliable biomarkers for monitoring disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing. This study aimed at characterizing the correlation between serum sTREM-1 levels and diseases activity in Chinese patients with UC. Consecutive 76 patients with UC and 20 healthy subjects were prospectively enrolled. The disease activity of UC was assessed according to Mayo Score. Expression levels of TREM-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum sTREM-1 levels were evaluated at the time when the disease activity was determined. Other laboratory parameters, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also determined. Both TREM-1 expression levels in PBMCs and serum sTREM-1 levels from patients with UC were significantly increased compared to healthy subjects. In addition, the levels of TREM-1 expression and serum sTREM-1 were significantly elevated in UC patients with moderate or severe disease compared to the patients with quiescent or mild disease. More importantly, both levels of TREM-1 expression in PBMCs and serum sTREM-1 levels were significantly correlated with disease activity. The correlation between sTREM-1 and disease activity was higher than the correlations between CRP and disease activity or ESR and disease activity. Our findings suggest that serum sTREM-1 could be a potential serum biomarker for monitoring disease activity in Chinese patients with UC, and could be a promising surrogate for CRP and ESR.

Abstract
The diagnosis of sepsis, and especially its differentiation from sterile inflammation, may be challenging. TREM-1, the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, is an amplifier of the innate immune response. Its soluble form acts as a decoy for the natural TREM-1 ligand and dampens its activation. In this chapter, we review the numerous studies that have evaluated the usefulness of sTREM-1 concentration determination for the diagnosis and the prognosis evaluation of sepsis or localized infection. Nowadays, sandwich ELISA kits are available and the assay is described.

Abstract
Mucosal surfaces represent the largest areas of interactions of the host with its environment. Subsequently, the mucosal immune system has evolved complex strategies to maintain the integrity of the host by inducing protective immune responses against pathogenic and tolerance against dietary and commensal microbial antigens within the broad range of molecules the intestinal epithelium is exposed to. Among many other specialized cell subsets, myeloid cell populations - due to their strategic location in the subepithelial lamina propria - are the first ones to scavenge and process these intestinal antigens and to send consecutive signals to other immune and non-immune cell subsets. Thus, myeloid cell populations represent attractive targets for clinical intervention in chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) as they initiate and modulate inflammatory or regulatory immune response and shape the intestinal T cell pool. Here, we discuss the interactions of the intestinal microbiota with dendritic cell and macrophage populations and review in this context the literature on four promising candidate molecules that are critical for the induction and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis on the one hand, but also for the initiation and propagation of chronic intestinal inflammation on the other.

Abstract
The Triggering Receptors Expressed on Myeloid cells (TREM) are a family of cell-surface molecules that control inflammation, bone homeostasis, neurological development and blood coagulation. TREM-1 and TREM-2, the best-characterized receptors so far, play divergent roles in several infectious diseases. In the intestine, TREM-1 is highly expressed by macrophages, contributing to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. Contrary to current understanding, TREM-2 also promotes inflammation in IBD by fueling dendritic cell functions. This review will focus specifically on recent insights into the role of TREM proteins in IBD development, and discuss opportunities for novel treatment approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) in the intestine was upregulated and correlated with disease activity in inflammatory bowel diseases. Membrane-bound TREM-1 protein is increased in the pancreas, liver and kidneys of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), suggesting that TREM-1 may act as an important mediator of inflammation and subsequent extra-pancreatic organ injury. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of TREM-1 in intestinal tissue and intestinal barrier dysfunction in SAP. METHODS Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group (SO group, n=32) and a SAP group (n=32). A SAP model was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium deoxycholate into the bile-pancreatic duct. Specimens were taken from blood and intestinal tissue 2, 6, 12, and 48 hours after operation respectively. The levels of D-lactate, diamine oxidase (DAO) and endotoxin in serum were measured using an improved spectro-photometric method. The expression levels of TREM-1, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA in terminal ileum were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens of the distal ileum were taken to determine pathological changes by a validated histology score. RESULTS The serum levels of D-lactate, DAO and endotoxin were significantly increased in each subgroup of SAP compared with the SO group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The expression levels of TREM-1, IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA in the terminal ileum in each subgroup of SAP were significantly higher than those in the SO group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The expression level of TREM-1mRNA was positively correlated with IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA (r=0.956, P=0.044; r=0.986, P=0.015), but the correlation was not found between IL-1β mRNA and TNF-α mRNA (P=0.133). Compared to the SO group, the pathological changes were aggravated significantly in the SAP group. CONCLUSIONS The expression level of TREM-1 in intestinal tissue of rats with SAP was elevated, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators and intestinal mucosal injury. This finding indicates that TREM-l might play an important role in the development of intestinal barrier dysfunction in rats with SAP.

Abstract
PURPOSE The serum levels of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) have recently been shown to be correlated highly with disease activity in patients with intestinal Behçet's disease (BD). However, it remains unclear whether sTREM-1 levels reflect endoscopic activity in intestinal BD. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of sTREM-1 levels with endoscopic activity in intestinal BD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 84 patients with intestinal BD were enrolled. Endoscopic activity was compared with sTREM-1 levels as well as other laboratory findings, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). RESULTS sTREM-1 levels were significantly increased in intestinal BD patients compared with controls (37.98±27.09 pg/mL vs. 16.65±7.76 pg/mL, p=0.002), however, there was no difference between endoscopically quiescent and active diseases (43.53±24.95 pg/mL vs. 42.22±32.68 pg/mL, p=0.819). Moreover, serum sTREM-1 levels did not differ in terms of number, shape, depth, size, margin, or type of ulcer in patients with intestinal BD. However, mean ESR and CRP levels in patients with active disease were significantly higher than those in patients with quiescent disease (p=0.001, p<0.001, respectively). In addition, endoscopic activity scores for intestinal BD were correlated significantly with both CRP levels (γ=0.329) and ESR (γ=0.298), but not with sTREM-1 levels (γ=0.166). CONCLUSION Unlike CRP levels and ESR, serum sTREM-1 levels were not correlated with endoscopic activity in patients with intestinal BD.

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 and 2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in pulmonary sarcoidosis. Respirology 2013; 18:455-62.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pulmonary sarcoidosis (PS) is characterized by the formation of granulomas in the lungs and has been associated with infection by microorganisms. Triggering receptor expressed on the surface of myeloid cells (TREM)-1 is overexpressed in response to infection while TREM-2 is involved in granuloma formation. We hypothesized that these receptors are overexpressed in PS and might be useful for diagnostic testing. METHODS Cell surface TREM-1 and TREM-2 expression in cells obtained at bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was measured in individuals with sarcoidosis (n = 26) and compared with that seen in individuals with other interstitial lung diseases (ILD) (n = 27). RESULTS TREM-1 and TREM-2 expression was significantly increased in sarcoidosis compared with other ILD: total number of TREM-1, P = 0.0039 (23.81 vs 13.50 cells/μl), TREM-2, P < 0.0001 (32.81 vs 7.76 cells/μl); percentage of TREM-1: P = 0.0002 (41.30% vs 15.70%), TREM-2: P < 0.0001 (34% vs 9.60%); and mean fluorescence of TREM-1: P = 0.0005 (5.43 vs 1.96), TREM-2: P = 0.0011 (6.85 vs 2.77). Increase in both of these receptors seems to be typical for PS. In discriminating sarcoidosis from other ILD, the specificity (96%) and sensitivity (72%) of the combination of TREM-1 and TREM-2 was high. CONCLUSIONS Increased TREM-1 and TREM-2 cell surface expression is observed in sarcoidosis. Evaluation of BAL cell expression of both of these receptors may serve as a diagnostic marker for sarcoidosis.

Abstract
The role of myeloid cell receptor TREM-1 as an amplifier of inflammation has been widely accepted and more interestingly, TREM-1 has been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, it is not clear whether TREM-1 links colon inflammation and tumor in vivo. This study aimed to investigate whether inhibition of proinflammatory TREM-1 would prevent aberrant inflammation and tumor development within the colon. In the present study, the mouse model of DSS-induced colitis and colitis-associated tumorigenesis was used. In vivo, the treatment with the TREM-1 antagonist LP17 or control peptide was initiated at the beginning of or after induction of experimental colitis or colitis-associated tumorigenesis. As a result, TREM-1 inhibition by LP17 treatment ameliorated the development of inflammation and tumor within the colon through exerting anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, LP17 decreased intestinal epithelial proliferation in DSS-induced colitis. Taken together, TREM-1 plays critical roles in colon inflammation and tumor and targeting TREM-1 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for colon inflammation and associated cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the utility of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) samples from patients who underwent bronchoscopy for a clinical suspicion of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), to categorize patients as VAP positive and VAP negative, when compared to quantitative culture results of BALF. METHODS Observational study conducted on admitted patients in the trauma-surgical, medical-cardiac, burn, and neurosurgical ICUs of Harborview Medical Center between March 2009 and May 2010. BALF and EBC samples were obtained from 45 patients with clinically suspected VAP. Bronchoscopy was performed on the day of clinically suspected VAP. sTREM-1 levels in EBC and BAL fluid were measured using quantikine human TREM-1 immunoassay. VAP was diagnosed by quantitative cultures of BALF. RESULTS The concentrations of sTREM-1 in BALF and EBC did not correlate with VAP status. sTREM-1 levels did not discriminate VAP positive from VAP negative patients, when compared to quantitative cultures of BALF as the gold standard. Using a cutoff value of 204 pg/mL for BALF sTREM-1 levels resulted in a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity of 23%. A cutoff value of 10 pg/mL for EBC sTREM-1 levels resulted in a sensitivity of 42% and a specificity of 50%. CONCLUSIONS EBC and BALF sTREM-1 levels did not effectively categorize patients as VAP positive or VAP negative when using direct bronchoscopic quantitative culture samples as the comparison standard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 was shown to be upregulated in the intestines of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. AIMS To investigate the relationship between serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) level and endoscopic activity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. METHODS A total of 85 patients with ulcerative colitis and 34 patients with Crohn's disease were prospectively enrolled. Endoscopic disease activity was determined using the Mayo score and the Simplified Endoscopic Activity Score for Crohn's disease. RESULTS In ulcerative colitis, sTREM-1 level was correlated more strongly with the endoscopic activity (r=0.498) than the C-reactive protein level (r=0.386) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.272), although not superior to the partial Mayo score (r=0.611). Moreover, only sTREM-1 was correlated significantly with the endoscopic activity irrespective of the disease extent. In Crohn's disease, the Simplified Endoscopic Activity Score for Crohn's disease was correlated with both the C-reactive protein level (r=0.585) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.474), but not with sTREM-1 level (r=0.097). CONCLUSIONS In ulcerative colitis, sTREM-1 level was correlated most closely with the endoscopic disease activity among serum biomarkers, but was not superior to the clinical activity index. Our results suggest that sTREM-1 level may represent a complementary marker for the assessment of endoscopic activity in ulcerative colitis, but not in Crohn's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a potent amplifier of pro-inflammatory responses. We have previously demonstrated a substantial increase in TREM-1-expressing macrophages in the inflamed intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). TREM-1 is also produced as a soluble receptor (sTREM-1). Here, we aimed to determine whether serum sTREM-1 could be used as a surrogate marker of disease activity in patients with IBD. METHODS Intestinal biopsies and concurrently collected sera from patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) enrolled in the Swiss IBD cohort study were analyzed for intestinal TREM-1 mRNA and serum sTREM-1 expression. TREM-1 mRNA and sTREM-1 were correlated with the endoscopically determined disease activity. Serum sTREM-1 and TREM-1 mRNA expression levels were further determined in sera and colonic tissues collected at various time-points post disease induction in an experimental mouse model of colitis and correlated with disease activity. RESULTS Expression of TREM-1 mRNA was upregulated in intestinal biopsies from patients with active disease but not in patients with quiescent disease. Serum sTREM-1 was elevated in IBD patients compared to normal controls. No substantial differences in sTREM-1 expression levels were found in patients with active versus quiescent disease. In colitic mice, colonic TREM-1 mRNA and serum sTREM-1 were also upregulated. While colonic TREM-1 mRNA expression levels correlated with disease activity, augmented serum sTREM-1 in fact associated with a milder course of disease. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of sTREM-1 as a surrogate marker of disease activity in patients with IBD warrants caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No definite conclusions can be drawn from available data on the accuracy of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) to assess disease activity in Crohn's disease. AIMS Plasma sTREM-1 levels were correlated with disease activity markers in Crohn's disease. METHODS 191 consecutive patients from a single referral centre (Nancy IBD cohort) were prospectively enrolled between June 1, 2005 and December 12, 2008. Plasma sTREM-1 levels were also assessed amongst 20 healthy controls. RESULTS The sTREM-1 was detectable in 87 Crohn's disease patients (46%). Plasma sTREM-1 level was higher in Crohn's disease patients (interquartile range, 0-356) than in healthy controls (interquartile range, 0-15.1; P=0.01). It was neither correlated with Crohn's disease activity index (r=0.05, P=0.56), C-reactive protein (r=0.06, P=0.53), nor with albumin (r=-0.041, P=0.66). Crohn's disease activity index, C-reactive protein and albumin median levels were similar between patients with positive sTREM-1 levels and those with undetectable sTREM-1 levels. Azathioprine (P=0.06), infliximab (P=0.68) and methotrexate (P=0.56) did not influence sTREM-1 levels. CONCLUSION Plasma sTREM-1 does not appear to be an accurate marker of disease activity in Crohn's disease and cannot be recommended for assessing disease activity in these patients.

Abstract
Excessive and unregulated inflammation contributes to multiorgan failure and death in sepsis. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type 1(TREM-1) is expressed on neutrophils and monocytes and is upregulated in the presence of bacterial pathogens. Engagement of TREM-1 results in increased expression of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines and amplifies the inflammatory response. In this article, we will review the structure and signaling pathway of TREM-1 and review the role of TREM-1 and soluble TREM-1 in the inflammatory response during sepsis. Based on these studies, modulation of the TREM-1 signaling pathway has been suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of sepsis, to dampen the inflammatory response without interrupting the ability of the host to clear pathogens. This basic science research may someday lead to other treatments for sepsis and other diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether levels of plasma-soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) are elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether levels are correlated with disease activity and other variables. METHODS Our study included 71 patients with RA and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Clinical characteristics and laboratory measures, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) were assessed. Plasma levels of sTREM-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS Patients with RA had significantly higher plasma sTREM-1 levels than healthy controls (170.10 ± 84.71 pg/ml vs 97.41 ± 40.64 pg/ml; p < 0.001). In patients with RA, plasma sTREM-1 levels were found to be correlated with DAS28, ESR, CRP, white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, and plasma TNF-α levels (r = 0.329, p = 0.005; r = 0.241, p = 0.043; r = 0.314, p < 0.001; r = 0.261, p = 0.028; r = 0.278, p = 0.019; and r = 0.313, p = 0.009, respectively). Plasma sTREM-1 levels in patients with active disease status (DAS28 > 3.2) were significantly higher than in those with low disease status (DAS28 ≤ 3.2; 208.89 ± 100.14 pg/ml vs 150.29 ± 68.70 pg/ml; p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Patients with RA had higher plasma sTREM-1 levels than healthy controls, and plasma sTREM-1 levels were correlated with disease activity measures, suggesting that plasma sTREM-1 could play a role in the inflammatory process associated with TNF-α, and that it may be a useful disease activity marker in RA.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) can cause intestinal barrier dysfunction (IBD), which significantly increases the disease severity and risk of mortality. We hypothesized that the innate immunity- and inflammatory-related protein-triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) contributes to this complication of SAP. Thus, we investigated the effect of TREM-1 pathway modulation on a rat model of pancreatitis-associated IBD. In this study we sought to clarify the role of TREM-1 in the pathophysiology of intestinal barrier dysfunction in SAP. Specifically, we evaluated levels of serum TREM-1 and membrane-bound TREM-1 in the intestine and pancreas from an animal model of experimentally induced SAP. TREM-1 pathway blockade by LP17 treatment may suppress pancreatitis-associated IBD and ameliorate the damage to the intestinal mucosa barrier.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CVC-BSIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric intestinal failure (IF) population. We assessed plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) as biomarkers for CVC-BSI. We hypothesized that sTREM-1 and LBP rise with BSI and decline following treatment, and that baseline LBP is higher in the IF population than in controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients younger than 4 years were recruited from the IF registry at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. LBP and sTREM-1 levels were measured on 22 patients with IF at baseline, 17 patients with IF with BSIs, and 11 healthy controls. RESULTS Mean sTREM-1 level (pg/mL) and LBP level (μg/mL) rose with CVC-BSI over baseline (115.0 ± 51.2 vs 85.9 ± 27.6, P = 0.011 and 79.8 ± 45.4 vs 20.5 ± 11.3, P < 0.001, respectively) and declined following antibiotic therapy (115.0 ± 51.2 vs 77.9 ± 29.8, P = 0.003 and 79.8 ± 45.4 vs 26.2 ± 10.8, P < 0.001, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that neither sTREM-1 nor LBP is sufficient to predict bacteremia versus fever without bacteremia (area under these curves = 0.57 and 0.82, respectively). Baseline LBP was higher in hospitalized patients than in outpatients (27.5 ± 8.7 vs 13.5 ± 9.2, P = 0.002), patients with previous BSIs versus those without (23.5 ± 10.4 vs 10.1 ± 8.3, P = 0.016), and those listed for transplantation versus those not listed (29.6 ± 9.8 vs 16.2 ± 9.5, P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS sTREM-1 and LBP rise with CVC-BSI in IF and decline after treatment; however, neither distinguishes infection from nonbacteremic febrile episodes. Baseline LBP may be a marker of disease severity in IF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No serological marker currently exists to assess disease activity in patients with intestinal Behcet's disease (BD). We conducted this study to determine if the expression level of serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) can be used as a biological marker to assess disease activity in intestinal BD. METHODS A total of 88 patients with intestinal BD were enrolled prospectively. We assessed their clinical disease activities using the disease activity index for intestinal BD (DAIBD). At the time that the DAIBD was assessed, serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as well as levels of TREM-1, C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured. RESULTS The mean ESR and mean levels of sTREM-1, CRP, and TNF-α in patients with intestinal BD were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. Levels of sTREM-1 were the most highly correlated with disease activity (r = 0.762 for the DAIBD score), followed by CRP levels (r = 0.383 for the DAIBD score) and ESR (r = 0.236 for the DAIBD score). However, serum levels of TNF-α level were not correlated with disease activity (r = -0.017 for the DAIBD score). CONCLUSIONS Serum sTREM-1 levels were more highly correlated with disease activity than were CRP levels or ESR in patients with intestinal BD, suggesting that serum sTREM-1 level could be a potential marker for the assessment of disease activity of intestinal BD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serum biomarkers representing inflammatory activity in vulnerable carotid plaques may be used to identify high-risk patients for cerebral ischemic events. We aimed to analyze the relationship between concentrations of four novel biomarkers and neurological symptoms: Neopterin, PTX3, sCD163, and sTREM-1. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between these markers and the presence of coronary (CAD) and peripheral (PAD) artery disease. DESIGN AND METHODS Serum biomarker levels were determined in 100 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy; 33 for stroke, 32 for transient ischemic attack, and 23 for amaurosis fugax. 12 Patients were asymptomatic. Risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and history of CAD and PAD were also assessed. RESULTS Symptomatic patients did not show significantly elevated biomarker levels compared to asymptomatic patients and levels did not differ among symptomatic subgroups. Neopterin levels were elevated in patients with concomitant coronary and peripheral artery disease (CAD (32%) 10.2 ± 6.6 vs no CAD (68%) 7.6 ± 2.9 nmol/L, PAD (20%) 12.3 ± 7.4 vs no PAD (80%) 7.5 ± 3.0 nmol/L, p<0.05). sTREM-1 was elevated in patients with CAD (50.8 ± 53.2 vs 28.0 ± 31.6 ng/L, p<0.05). PTX3 and sCD163 were not significantly elevated in CAD nor PAD. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that serum neopterin and sTREM-1 levels may be related to the presence of atherosclerotic disease, but not to carotid plaque vulnerability.

Abstract
Sepsis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. There is no gold standard for diagnosing sepsis because clinical and laboratory signs are neither sensitive nor specific enough and microbiological studies often show negative results. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 1 (TREM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Its expression is upregulated on phagocytic cells in the presence of bacteria or fungi. This article reports on the potential usefulness of the assessment of the soluble form of TREM-1 in biologic fluids in the diagnosis of infection.

Abstract
Background Differential diagnosis of patients with lung infiltrates remains a challenge. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 is a neutrophil and monocyte receptor up-regulated during infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of TREM-1 and of C-reactive protein (CRP) from patients with lung infiltrates to discern community acquired lung infections. Methods 68 patients admitted to a medical ward with acute respiratory illness were enrolled in the study. Neutrophil and monocyte TREM-1 expression were measured by flow cytometry, sTREM-1 by an enzyme immunoassay and C-reactive protein by nephelometry. Clinical pulmonary infection score was recorded. Results 34 patients were diagnosed with bacterial community acquired pneumonia (group A) and 34 with non-bacterial pulmonary disease (group B). Median serum TREM-1 concentration was 102.09 pg/ml in group A and lower than 15.10 pg/ml (p < 0.0001) in group B. Mean±SE neutrophil TREM-1 expression was 4.67 ± 0.53 MFI in group A and 2.64 ± 0.25 MFI (p = 0.001) in group B. Monocyte TREM-1 expression was 4.2 ± 0.42 MFI in group A and 2.64 ± 0.35 MFI (p = 0.007) in group B and mean±SE CRP was 18.03 ± 2 mg/ml in group A and 7.1 ± 1.54 mg/ml (p < 0.001) in group B. A cut-off of 19.53 pg/ml of sTREM-1 with sensitivity 82.6% and specificity 63% to discriminate between infectious and non-infectious pulmonary infiltrates was found. sTREM-1 at admission greater than 180 pg/ml was accompanied with unfavourable outcome. Conclusion TREM-1 myeloid expression and sTREM-1 are reliable markers of bacterial infection among patients with pulmonary infiltrates; sTREM-1 is a predictor of final outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a regulator of immunity and an amplifier of inflammatory signaling. The aim was to clarify the role of TREM-1 in the pathophysiology of experimental severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS SAP was induced by retrograde injection of 3 and 20% sodium deoxycholate (DCA) into the biliopancreatic ducts in rats (DCA pancreatitis). Soluble TREM-1 levels in serum, ascitic fluid, pancreas, liver and kidney were determined with an established available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. To clarify the source of soluble TREM-1 in serum and ascitic fluid, peritoneal macrophage depletion was done. Moreover, the effect of blockade of TREM-1 pathway was examined using LP17 (a synthetic TREM-1 inhibitor). RESULTS Soluble TREM-1 levels in serum and ascitic fluid were higher in SAP. Membrane-bound TREM-1 protein was increased in pancreas, liver and kidney in SAP. Peritoneal macrophage depletion resulted in the reduction of soluble TREM-1 levels in serum and ascitic fluid. Pretreatment with LP17 improved the hepatic and renal dysfunction (serum aspartate aminotransferase and blood urea nitrogen levels) in SAP. CONCLUSIONS TREM-1 may act as an important mediator for inflammation and organ injury in SAP. TREM-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the development of SAP and associated organ dysfunction.
