    Abstract:
    Increasing evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates several pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in many diseases, including acute lung injury (ALI). We have reported that blocking triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1) protects against ALI by suppressing pulmonary inflammation in mice with ALI induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). However, the molecular mechanism underlying the TREM-1-induced pro-inflammatory microenvironment in macrophages remains unclearly. Herein, we aimed to determine whether TREM-1 regulates the inflammatory responses induced by LPS associated with ER stress activation. We found that the activation of TREM-1 by a monoclonal agonist antibody (anti-TREM-1) increased the mRNA and protein levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in primary macrophages. Treatment of the anti-TREM-1 antibody increased the expression of ER stress markers (ATF6, PERK, IRE-1α, and XBP-1s) in primary macrophages. While pretreatment with 4-PBA, an inhibitor of ER stress, significantly inhibited the expression of ER stress markers and pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced LDH release. Furthermore, inhibiting the activity of the IRE-1α/XBP-1s pathway by STF-083010 significantly mitigated the increased levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in macrophages treated by the anti-TREM-1 antibody. XBP-1 silencing attenuated pro-inflammatory microenvironment evoked by activation of TREM-1. Besides, we found that blockade of TREM-1 with LR12 ameliorated ER stress induced by LPS in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we conclude that TREM-1 activation induces ER stress through the IRE-1α/XBP-1s pathway in macrophages, contributing to the pro-inflammatory microenvironment.
