Abstract

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM-2) is rapidly emerging as a key regulator of the innate immune response via its regulation of macrophage inflammatory responses. Here we demonstrate that proximal TREM-2 signaling parallels other DAP12-based receptor systems in its use of Syk and Src-family kinases. However, we find that the linker for activation of T cells (LAT) is severely reduced as monocytes differentiate into macrophages and that TREM-2 exclusively uses the linker for activation of B cells (LAB encoded by the gene Lat2(-/-)) to mediate downstream signaling. LAB is required for TREM-2-mediated activation of Erk1/2 and dampens proximal TREM-2 signals through a novel LAT-independent mechanism resulting in macrophages with proinflammatory properties. Thus, Lat2(-/-) macrophages have increased TREM-2-induced proximal phosphorylation, and lipopolysaccharide stimulation of these cells leads to increased interleukin-10 (IL-10) and decreased IL-12p40 production relative to wild type cells. Together these data identify LAB as a critical, LAT-independent regulator of TREM-2 signaling and macrophage development capable of controlling subsequent inflammatory responses.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the context of microglia, the kinase responsible for phosphorylating the ITAM residues on DAP12 is likely to be Src or a Src-family kinase such as Lyn.

    “In the context of microglia, the kinase responsible for phosphorylating the Immunoreceptor Tyrosine Activation Motif (ITAM) residues on DAP12 is likely to be Src [62] or a Src-family kinase such as Lyn [63, 64].”
  • Within microglia it has been suggested that LAT, LAB or LAT2, rather than BLNK, could be phosphorylated by Syk, or that Syk may directly phosphorylate and activate PLCγ2, thus bypassing BTK.

    “Within microglia it has been suggested that Linkers for Activation of T- and B-cells (LAT, LAB or LAT2), rather than BLNK, could be phosphorylated by Syk, or that Syk may directly phosphorylate and activate PLCγ2, thus bypassing BTK in these cells [4, 62].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
