Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the critical clinical respiratory diseases, of which infection is the main cause and the first risk factor. This study investigated the impact of triggering receptor of myeloid cells expression (TREM)-2 gene silencing on inflammatory response of endotoxin-induced ALI in mice. Lentivirus-mediated TREM-2-shRNA was transfected into healthy male C57BL/6 mice, and the lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI model was established. The immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot, and ELISA were applied to detect the pathological changes of lung tissue and expressions of TREM-2, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin 10 (IL-10) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The lentivirus group, saline control group, ALI model group, blank control group, and negative control group were set up at the same time. Results found that, in lentivirus group, the pathological change of lung tissue was significantly lighter than ALI model group (P < 0.05), and the expression of TREM-2 was significantly reduced compared with all control groups (P < 0.05). The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were significantly increased than all control groups (P < 0.05), while above indexes in negative control group and blank control group showed no significant difference with ALI group (P > 0.05). This study indicates that TREM-2 has a protective effect on inflammatory response of endotoxin-induced ALI in mice, which has provided new potential targets for prevention and treatment of ALI.
