✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. TREM2 and immune genetics

Topic: Inflammation, microglia and astrocytes

TREM2 (Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) is the causative gene for Nasu-Hakola disease, which is characterized by multiple bone cysts and leukoencephalopathy. In addition, mutations in this gene have been found to be correlated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. TREM2 is an immunoreceptor expressed on dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, and macrophages. TREM2 on the cell membrane is shed by some proteases and released as soluble TREM2 (sTREM2). Meanwhile, several TREM2 ligands have been reported, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the candidates. Using RNA interference to examine TREM2-mediated LPS response in macrophages, we identified five chemokines whose expression was induced via TREM2. Furthermore, we showed that LPS-induced expression of CXC-motif chemokine ligand (Cxcl10) and Cxcl11 among the five chemokines was mediated in part through sTREM2. These results suggest that sTREM2 has cytokine-like functions in macrophages.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 23 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 41 out of 100.
