Abstract

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a potent amplifier of pro-inflammatory innate immune reactions, and it is an essential mediator of death in sepsis. However, the ligand for TREM-1 has not been fully identified. Previous research identified a natural ligand of TREM-1 distributed on platelets that contributed to the development of sepsis. However, the exact signal for TREM-1 recognition remains to be identified. Here, we identified actin as a TREM-1-interacting protein on platelets and found that recombinant actin could interact with recombinant TREM-1 extracellular domain directly. Furthermore, actin co-localized with TREM-1 on the surface of activated mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells interacting with platelets. In addition, recombinant actin could enhance the inflammatory response of macrophages from wt mice but not from trem1(-/-) mice, and the enhancement could be inhibited by LP17 (a TREM-1 inhibitor) in a dose-dependent manner. Importantly, extracellular actin showed co-localization with TREM-1 in lung tissue sections from septic mice, which suggested that TREM-1 recognized actin during activation in sepsis. Therefore, the present study identified actin as a new ligand for TREM-1 signaling, and it also provided a link between both essential regulators of death in sepsis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 August 2021.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in immunology
#24,755
of 31,531 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,474
of 327,745 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in immunology
#373
of 443 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 31,531 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,745 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 443 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
