    IntroductionTriggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) has important implications in sepsis and inflammation and is a novel receptor for extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP). We hypothesize that the inhibition of TREM-1 via its interaction with eCIRP by novel peptide inhibitor M3 or knockout gene will attenuate the inflammation and injury associated with severe hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).MethodsWild-type (WT) C57BL/6 and TREM-1-/- mice underwent 60 min of 70% hepatic ischemia, with 24 h of reperfusion. Additionally, WT mice underwent hepatic I/R and were treated with M3 (10 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle (normal saline) at the start of reperfusion. Blood and ischemic liver tissues were collected, and analysis was performed using enzymatic assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and pathohistology techniques. For survival surgery, mice additionally underwent resection of non-ischemic lobes of the liver and survival was monitored for 10 days.ResultsThere was an increase in serum levels of tissue markers including aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase as well as cytokine levels (IL-6) and histological scoring of hematoxylin and eosin sections in WT I/R mice. These markers decreased substantially in TREM-1-/- mice. Additionally, neutrophil infiltration markers and markers of local inflammation (myeloperoxidase, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, cyclooxygenase-2) were attenuated in TREM-1-/- mice. Similarly, we show a significant decrease in injury and inflammation markers with M3 treatment. Additionally, we demonstrate decreased apoptosis with TREM-1 inhibition. Finally, M3 treatment improved the survival rate from 42% to 75% after hepatic I/R.ConclusionTREM-1 is an important eCIRP receptor in the inflammatory response of hepatic I/R, and deficiency of TREM-1 via knockout gene or peptide inhibition attenuated liver injury and inflammation, and improved survival. Inhibition of the TREM-1 and eCIRP interaction in hepatic I/R may have important therapeutic potential.Copyright © 2021 by the Shock Society.
