Background
TREM-2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-2) is
a 35 kDa molecular weight type I transmembrane member of the TREM family and Ig
superfamily . Mature human TREM-2 consists of a 156 amino acid (aa)
extracellular domain (ECD) with one V-type Ig-like domain, a 21 aa
transmembrane (TM) domain, and a 35 aa cytoplasmic tail. Within the ECD, human
TREM-2 shares 73% and 74% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat TREM-2,
respectively. Two closely related transcripts were reported in mouse and
designated TREM-2a and TREM-2b. Soluble forms of the TREM-2 ECD are generated
by alternative splicing or proteolytic cleavage, and the cytoplasmic domain can
be liberated by gamma-Secretase mediated intramembrane cleavage. It is a pattern
recognition receptor that binds anionic ligands. A positively charged lysine
within the transmembrane segment allows association with the signal adapter
protein, DAP12 to deliver an activating signal that plays a role in both innate
and adaptive immune responses, including inhibition of macrophage activation.
TREM-2 is expressed on macrophages, immature myeloid dendritic cells,
osteoclasts, microglia, and adipocytes. It promotes the differentiation and
function of osteoclasts, the production of inflammatory cytokines by
adipocytes, insulin resistance, and the phagocytic clearance of bacteria. In
the CNS, TREM-2 binds to ApoE, ApoA1, and ApoB and mediates the clearance of
apoptotic neurons, amyloid plaques, and cell debris following demyelination.
TREM-2 also interacts with and modifies signaling through Plexin A1 on
dendritic cells and osteoclasts. Mutations in TREM-2 or DAP12 are associated
with the development of Alzheimer's disease and Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD/PLOSL)
which is characterized by presenile dementia and bone cysts. Soluble TREM-2 is
elevated in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with active multiple sclerosis
(MS), and TREM-2 blockade exacerbates disease symptoms in the experimental EAE
model of MS.
