TREM‐2 Receptor Expression Increases with 25(OH)D Vitamin Serum Levels in Patients with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Abstract: TREM-1 and TREM-2 molecules are members of the TREM transmembrane glycoproteins. In our previous study we identified increased expressions of TREM-1 and TREM-2 receptors in pulmonary sarcoidosis (PS). Only a few studies concerning the association between vitamin D and TREM receptor expression can be found. The aim of our current study was to determine the association between the levels of an inactive form of 25(OH)D vitamin and TREM-1 and TREM-2 receptor expressions. We have detected low levels of 25(OH)D vita… Show more

“…(antibodies used: CD14-PC7, TREM-1-PE, TREM-2-APC, and isotype controls; all from R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The TREM-1 and TREM-2 analysis that we used in our previous studies [ 30 , 31 ] was performed in compliance with flow cytometry protocol recommended by the manufacturer. TREM-1 and TREM-2 expression is presented as the percentage of TREM-1- and TREM-2-positive cells out of all CD14 + cells.…”

“…As suggested in the German WES study, several genes involved in calcium ion and vitamin D-related biological activities are probably involved in sarcoidosis predisposition [113]. In sarcoidosis, macrophages activate the conversion of inactive precursor 25(OH)D to active vitamin D metabolite (1-25-(OH)2D3) and hypercalcemia is frequently observed in patients [123,124]. The hormonal form of vitamin D has immuno modulatory and anti-proliferative effects and is able to regulate the mTOR signaling pathway by stimulating expression of DDIT4, which facilitates the assembly and activation of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)1/2 complex for eventual suppression of downstream mTOR activity through Rheb (Ras homolog enriched in the brain) [125].…”
