Studies have shown that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is the mediator and activator of neutrophils and monocytes after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), heat-inactivated Gram (-) bacteria, Gram (+) bacteria or fungi. Different studies have measured the expression of TREM-1 in patients with bacterial infections and critical states. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of TREM-1 in circulating maternal leukocytes in premature rupture of the membranes (PRM). Two groups of patients were included in this case control study: pregnant women with PRM and healthy controls. All patients were free of any infection, including cervix and urinary tract. Although all patients expressed TREM-1 to some extent, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of different cellularities in both groups; except for the mononuclear leukocytes (p < 0.05). In this study, TREM-1 was not altered in PRM.

Causal relationship between immune cells and periodontitis: A Mendelian randomization study.

Anhui Engineering Research Center for Neural Regeneration Technology and Medical New Materials, School of Life Science, Bengbu Medical University, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, China.

This study employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore potential causal relationships between 731 immune cell subtypes and periodontitis. Utilizing a 2-sample MR design, our study delved into the diverse landscape of immune cell interactions with periodontitis-associated factors. Multiple MR methods, including inverse variance weighting, weighted median, and MR-Egger tests, were employed to ensure reliability and mitigate potential pleiotropic effects.

Stress responses can impact bladder cancer (BC) outcomes via immune-inflammatory pathway modulation. This study explores heart rate variability (HRV) associations with serum immune-inflammatory biomarkers, blood count inflammatory markers, and psychosocial self-report measures in patients versus healthy controls. The TREM-1 and TREM-2 expressions on peripheral blood monocytes were analysed via flow cytometry; serum inflammatory biomarkers by ELISA; HRV (5-min ECG) pre-tumour resection; blood counts by haematology analyser; and psychosocial factors by validated questionnaires.

Background And Purpose: Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) was reported to be critical for mediating the neurological function after stroke, while the impact of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) on cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke is unclear. We aimed to explore the association between sTREM-1 and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).

Methods: We prospectively recruited consecutive ischemic stroke patients who admitted hospital within 7 days of onset.

Background: The chronic inflammatory condition known as multiple sclerosis (MS) causes inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). The activation of multiple cell types, including the CNS's resident immune cells called microglia, is a component of the immunological response in MS. Recently, the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) family has emerged as a crucial player in modulating microglial function and subsequent neuroinflammation.
