Background & Aims

Inflammation, particularly that mediated by bacterial components translocating from the gut to the liver and binding to toll-like receptors (TLRs), is central to cholestatic liver injury. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM-2) inhibits TLR-mediated signaling and exerts a protective role in hepatocellular injury and carcinogenesis. This study aims to evaluate the role of TREM-2 in cholestasis.

Methods

TREM-2 expression was analyzed in the livers of patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and in mouse models of cholestasis. Wild-type (WT) and Trem-2 deficient (Trem-2-/-) mice were subjected to experimental cholestasis and gut sterilization. Primary cultured Kupffer cells were incubated with lipopolysaccharide and/or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and inflammatory responses were analyzed.

Results

TREM-2 expression was upregulated in the livers of patients with PBC or PSC, and in murine models of cholestasis. Compared to WT, the response to bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced obstructive cholestasis or alpha-naphtylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced cholestasis was exacerbated in Trem-2-/- mice. This was characterized by enhanced necroptotic cell death, inflammatory responses and biliary expansion. Antibiotic treatment partially abrogated the effects observed in Trem-2-/- mice after BDL. Experimental overexpression of TREM-2 in the liver of WT mice downregulated ANIT-induced IL-33 expression and neutrophil recruitment. UDCA regulated Trem-1 and Trem-2 expression in primary cultured mouse Kupffer cells and dampened inflammatory gene transcription via a TREM-2-dependent mechanism.

Conclusions

TREM-2 acts as a negative regulator of inflammation during cholestasis, representing a novel potential therapeutic target.

Lay summary

Cholestasis (the reduction or cessation of bile flow) causes liver injury. This injury is exacerbated when gut-derived bacterial components interact with receptors (specifically Toll-like receptors or TLRs) on liver-resident immune cells, promoting inflammation. Herein, we show that the anti-inflammatory receptor TREM-2 dampens TLR-mediated signaling and hence protects against cholestasis-induced liver injury. Thus, TREM-2 could be a potential therapeutic target in cholestasis.

TREM-2 通过充当炎症的负调节因子,在胆汁淤积中发挥保护作用


 背景与目标


炎症,特别是由细菌成分从肠道转移到肝脏并与 Toll 样受体 (TLR) 结合介导的炎症,是胆汁淤积性肝损伤的核心。骨髓细胞 2 (TREM-2) 上表达的触发受体可抑制 TLR 介导的信号传导,并在肝细胞损伤和癌变中发挥保护作用。本研究旨在评估 TREM-2 在胆汁淤积中的作用。

 方法


对原发性胆汁性胆管炎 (PBC) 或原发性硬化性胆管炎 (PSC) 患者的肝脏以及胆汁淤积小鼠模型中的TREM-2表达进行了分析。对野生型 (WT) 和Trem-2缺陷型 ( Trem-2 -/- ) 小鼠进行实验性胆汁淤积和肠道绝育。将原代培养的库普弗细胞与脂多糖和/或熊去氧胆酸(UDCA)一起孵育,并分析炎症反应。

 结果


TREM-2表达在 PBC 或 PSC 患者的肝脏以及胆汁淤积小鼠模型中上调。与WT相比, Trem-2 -/-小鼠对胆管结扎(BDL)诱导的阻塞性胆汁淤积或α-异硫氰酸萘酯(ANIT)诱导的胆汁淤积的反应加剧。其特征是坏死性细胞死亡、炎症反应和胆道扩张增强。抗生素治疗部分消除了 BDL 后Trem-2 -/-小鼠中观察到的效果 WT 小鼠肝脏中 TREM-2 的实验性过度表达下调了 ANIT 诱导的 IL-33 表达和中性粒细胞募集。 UDCA 调节原代培养的小鼠 Kupffer 细胞中Trem-1Trem-2 的表达,并通过 TREM-2 依赖性机制抑制炎症基因转录。

 结论


TREM-2 在胆汁淤积期间充当炎症的负调节因子,代表了一个新的潜在治疗靶点。

 外行总结


胆汁淤积(胆汁流动减少或停止)会导致肝损伤。当肠道来源的细菌成分与肝脏驻留免疫细胞上的受体(特别是 Toll 样受体或 TLR)相互作用时,这种损伤会加剧,从而促进炎症。在此,我们证明抗炎受体 TREM-2 抑制 TLR 介导的信号传导,从而防止胆汁淤积引起的肝损伤。因此,TREM-2可能是胆汁淤积的潜在治疗靶点。
