Article Abstract

Objective: Recently, we revealed that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-like 2 (TREML2) modulated inflammation by regulating microglial polarization and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. However, the role of TREML2 in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In this study, we tried to observe the impact of TREML2 on neuropathological hallmarks (including amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, hyperphosphorylated tau and neuroinflammation) and cognitive deficiency in senescence-accelerated mouse prone substrain 8 (SAMP8) mice, an animal model of sporadic AD.

Methods: A lentiviral-based strategy was employed to manipulate TREML2 levels in the brain of SAMP8 mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the protein levels of inflammatory cytokines, Aβ and hyperphosphorylated tau. The mRNA levels of microglial polarization markers were assessed by qRT-PCR. Morris water maze test was performed to evaluate the spatial cognitive functions.

Results: TREML2 overexpression elevated inflammatory cytokines levels, induced microglial M1-type polarization, and exacerbated Aβ and tau pathology in SAMP8 mice. Contrastingly, knocking down TREML2 mitigated inflammatory cytokines release, promoted microglial M2-type polarization, ameliorated Aβ and tau pathology, and rescued cognitive deficiency in SAMP8 mice.

Conclusion: This study offers the first in vivo evidence that TREML2 contributes to the pathogenesis of AD. Furthermore, this study also proves that inhibition of TREML2 signaling may represent a potential treatment strategy for this disease.

Protective Role of Apelin in a Mouse Model of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome.

Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol

September 2025

University of Toronto, Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a serious condition involving physical weakness, depression, and cognitive impairment that develop during or after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, often resulting in long-term declines in quality of life. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe COVID-19 are at particularly high risk, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying PICS remain poorly understood. Here, we identify impaired Apelin-APJ signaling as a potential contributor to PICS pathogenesis via disruption of inter-organ homeostasis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to a broad spectrum of physical and cognitive impairments. Myeloid cells within the CNS, including microglia and border-associated macrophages, play a central role in the neuroinflammatory processes associated with MS. Activation of these cells contributes to the local inflammatory response and promotes the recruitment of additional immune cells into the CNS.

Objective: Developmental dyslexia (DD) has been related to deficits in multiple cognitive skills. Phonological processing deficits are the most frequently reported in opaque orthographies, but there are few studies of transparent orthographies, such as Spanish. The aim of this study was to comprehensively explore possible deficiencies in cognitive functions in Spanish-speaking Mexican children with DD, to determine whether these deficits can explain problems with decoding fluency and accuracy, and analyze whether they provide support for some of the explanatory hypotheses of DD.

Introduction: Health literacy is a critical factor influencing patient outcomes, yet research indicates a persistent gap in nurses' knowledge of this domain. This deficiency affects nurses' ability to identify and effectively address patients' health literacy needs.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge (cognitive domain), application (psychomotor domain), and confidence (affective domain) related to health literacy strategies.
