Role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1/2 in secondary injury after cerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common severe emergency in neurosurgery, causing tremendous economic pressure on families and society and devastating effects on patients both physically and psychologically, especially among patients with poor functional outcomes. ICH is often accompanied by decreased consciousness and limb dysfunction. This seriously affects patients' ability to live independently. Although rapid advances in neurosurgery have greatly improved patient survival, there remains insufficient evidence that surgical treatment significantly improves long-term outcomes. With in-depth pathophysiological studies after ICH, increasing evidence has shown that secondary injury after ICH is related to long-term prognosis and that the key to secondary injury is various immune-mediated neuroinflammatory reactions after ICH. In basic and clinical studies of various systemic inflammatory diseases, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1/2 (TREM-1/2), and the TREM receptor family is closely related to the inflammatory response. Various inflammatory diseases can be upregulated and downregulated through receptor intervention. How the TREM receptor functions after ICH, the types of results from intervention, and whether the outcomes can improve secondary brain injury and the long-term prognosis of patients are unknown. An analysis of relevant research results from basic and clinical trials revealed that the inhibition of TREM-1 and the activation of TREM-2 can alleviate the neuroinflammatory immune response, significantly improve the long-term prognosis of neurological function in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and thus improve the ability of patients to live independently.
