Abstract
The nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway has a main role against oxidative stress and inflammation. Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) leads to the high secretion of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species, which disturbs nervous system function and regeneration. Several studies have indicated that the activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway may be effective against inflammation after SCI. The experimental studies have indicated that many chemical and natural agents act as Nrf2 inducer, which inhibits the SCI progression. Thus, the finding of novel Nrf2- inducer anti-inflammatory agents may be a valuable approach in drug discovery. In the present review, we discussed the Nrf2 signal pathway and crosstalk with the NF-κB pathway and also the impact of this pathway on inflammation in animal models of SCI. Furthermore, we discussed the regulation of Nrf2 by several phytochemicals and drugs, as well as their effects on the SCI inhibition. Therefore, the current study presented a new hypothesis of the development of anti-inflammatory agents that mediate the Nrf2 signaling pathway for treating the SCI outcomes.

Abstract
The neutrophil is an important cell in host defense against infections, acting as the first line of microorganism control. However, this cell exhibits dysregulated activity in sepsis and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. This systematic review aimed to highlight the major scientific findings regarding neutrophil activity in sepsis reported in clinical and experimental research published in the last 10 years. The search was conducted in the Virtual Health Library of PAHO-WHO (BVS) and PubMed databases, and articles published between January 2007 and May 2017 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were eligible. Article selection was carried out independently by two reviewers (CB and IB). A total of 233 articles were found, of which 87 were identified on PubMed and 146 on BVS. Eighty-two articles were duplicates. Of the remaining 151 articles, 19 met the inclusion criteria after title, abstract, and full-text analysis. Overall, research in clinical samples and animal models of sepsis showed reduced capacity of neutrophils to migrate and delayed apoptosis, but there was no consensus on the phagocytic activity of neutrophils in sepsis. Molecules, such as pentraxin 3 (PTX3), have been analyzed as potential diagnostic markers in sepsis but the diversity of soluble molecules detected in blood samples of sepsis patients did not enable further understanding of the correlation of these circulating molecules with neutrophil activity during sepsis. Optimal understanding of the function of neutrophils in sepsis remains a challenge that, if overcome, would eventually allow targeted therapeutic interventions in patients affected by this severe syndrome.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a versatile protein that acts as a signaling hub by modulating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and also via phosphorylation or scaffolding interactions with an extensive number of non-GPCR cellular partners. GRK2 multifunctionality arises from its multidomain structure and from complex mechanisms of regulation of its expression levels, activity, and localization within the cell, what allows the precise spatio-temporal shaping of GRK2 targets. A better understanding of the GRK2 interactome and its modulation mechanisms is helping to identify the GRK2-interacting proteins and its substrates involved in the participation of this kinase in different cellular processes and pathophysiological contexts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sensitivities and specificities of clinical signs and biochemical tests in sepsis diagnosis are not satisfactory. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic usefulness of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) in sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock against interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, observational study was conducted in 85 adults with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock and 22 with non-infective systemic inflammatory response syndrome (NI-SIRS). Serum levels of sTREM-1, CRP, PCT and IL-6 were measured on admission. RESULTS Median serum sTREM-1 concentrations were higher in severe sepsis (540 pg/ml) and septic shock (536 pg/ml) in comparison with NI-SIRS patients (p < 0.05). There were no differences in sTREM-1 levels between NI-SIRS and sepsis. Similarly, CRP, PCT and IL-6 were significantly elevated in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock in comparison with NI-SIRS. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for diagnosis of severe sepsis showed higher discriminative value for CRP and IL-6 (AUC = 0.909, 95% CI: 0.829-0.99 and AUC = 0.854, 95% CI: 0.728-0.980, respectively) than sTREM-1 (AUC = 0.733, 95% CI: 0.596-0.870). In septic shock the highest AUC was found for CRP (AUC = 0.938, 95% CI: 0.872-1.0), lower for IL-6 (AUC = 0.869, 95% CI: 0.751-0.987), PCT (AUC = 0.828, 95% CI: 0.71-0.945) and sTREM-1 (AUC = 0.705, 95% CI: 0.553-0.856). CONCLUSIONS Serum level of sTREM-1 has lower effectiveness as a diagnostic biomarker in severe sepsis and septic shock, in comparison with CRP and IL-6.

Abstract
Although it is widely considered, in many cases, to involve two separable stages (poor placentation followed by oxidative stress/inflammation), the precise originating causes of preeclampsia (PE) remain elusive. We have previously brought together some of the considerable evidence that a (dormant) microbial component is commonly a significant part of its etiology. However, apart from recognizing, consistent with this view, that the many inflammatory markers of PE are also increased in infection, we had little to say about immunity, whether innate or adaptive. In addition, we focused on the gut, oral and female urinary tract microbiomes as the main sources of the infection. We here marshall further evidence for an infectious component in PE, focusing on the immunological tolerance characteristic of pregnancy, and the well-established fact that increased exposure to the father's semen assists this immunological tolerance. As well as these benefits, however, semen is not sterile, microbial tolerance mechanisms may exist, and we also review the evidence that semen may be responsible for inoculating the developing conceptus (and maybe the placenta) with microbes, not all of which are benign. It is suggested that when they are not, this may be a significant cause of PE. A variety of epidemiological and other evidence is entirely consistent with this, not least correlations between semen infection, infertility and PE. Our view also leads to a series of other, testable predictions. Overall, we argue for a significant paternal role in the development of PE through microbial infection of the mother via insemination.

Levels of soluble TREM-1 in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and their siblings without type 1 diabetes: a Danish case-control study. Pediatr Diabetes 2017; 18:749-754.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease with an increase in incidence worldwide including Denmark. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a potent amplifier of pro-inflammatory responses and has been linked to autoimmunity, severe psychiatric disorders, sepsis, and cancer. HYPOTHESIS Our primary hypothesis was that levels of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) differed between newly diagnosed children with T1D and their siblings without T1D. METHODS Since 1996, the Danish Childhood Diabetes Register has collected data on all patients who have developed T1D before the age of 18 years. Four hundred and eighty-one patients and 478 siblings with measurements of sTREM-1-blood samples were taken within 3 months after onset-were available for statistical analyses. Sample period was from 1997 through 2005. A robust log-normal regression model was used, which takes into account that measurements are left censored and accounts for correlation within siblings from the same family. RESULTS In the multiple regression model (case status, gender, age, HLA-risk, season, and period of sampling), levels of sTREM-1 were found to be significantly higher in patients (relative change [95%CI], 1.5 [1.1; 2.2],P = 0.02), but after adjustment for multiple testing our result was no longer statistically significant (P adjust = 0.1). We observed a statistical significant temporal increase in levels of sTREM-1. CONCLUSION Our results need to be replicated by independent studies, but our study suggests that the TREM-1 pathway may have a role in T1D pathogenesis.

TREM-1, HMGB1 and RAGE in the Shoulder Tendon: Dual Mechanisms for Inflammation Based on the Coincidence of Glenohumeral Arthritis. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0165492.

Abstract
Rotator cuff injury (RCI) is a major musculoskeletal disorder in the adult population where inflammation and pain are major contributing factors. Coincidence of other clinical conditions like glenohumeral arthritis aggravates inflammation and delays the healing response. The mechanism and signaling factors underlying the sustenance of inflammation in the rotator cuff joint are largely unknown. The present article aims to elucidate the involvement of inflammatory molecule, TREM-1 (Triggering Receptors Expressed on Myeloid cells-1), and danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB-1) and RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products), in the setting of RCI with respect to the severity of glenohumeral arthritis. Biceps tendons (15 specimens) from the shoulder and blood (11 samples) from patients with glenohumeral arthritis (Group-1, n = 4) and without glenohumeral arthritis (Group-2, n = 11) after RCI surgery were obtained for the study. Molecular and morphological alterations between the groups were compared using histology, immunofluorescence, RT-PCR and flow cytometry. MRI and histomorphology assessment revealed severe inflammation in Group-1 patients while in Group-2 ECM disorganization was prominent without any hallmarks of inflammation. A significant increase in TREM-1 expression in circulating neutrophils and monocytes was observed. Elevated levels of TREM-1, HMGB-1 and RAGE in Group-1 patients along with CD68+ and CD16+ cells confirmed DAMP-mediated inflammation. Expression of TREM-1 in the tendon of Group-2 patients even in the absence of immune cells presented a new population of TREM-expressing cells that were confirmed by real-time PCR analysis and immunofluorescence. Expression of HMGB-1 and RAGE in the biceps tendon from the shoulder of patients without glenohumeral arthritis implied TREM-1-mediated inflammation without involving immune cells, whereas in patients with glenohumeral arthritis, infiltration and the activation of the immune cells, primarily macrophages, release mediators to induce inflammation. This could be the reason for ECM disorganization without the classical signs of inflammation in patients without glenohumeral arthritis.

Abstract
Innate immunity coordinates LPS detection via TLR4 on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to elicit responses to many Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we describe the effects of five subtypes of LPS [isolated from Escherichia coli B4, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRP), Acinetobacter baumannii and multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRA)] on gene expression in PMNs. LPS isolated from B4, PAO1, and A. baumannii did not significantly alter TLR2 expression. However, LPS from MDRP and MDRA caused a 0.6-fold decrease and 2.7-fold increase, respectively, in TLR2 expression. Similarly, TLR4 expression was not significantly altered by LPS isolated from B4, PAO1 and A. baumannii but was down-regulated by LPS isolated from MDRP and MDRA by 0.1- and 0.6-fold, respectively. All LPS subtypes, excluding PAO1, down-regulated CD14 expression in PMNs. However, all five LPS subtypes up-regulated TNFA, IL1B, IL6, IL10 and TREM1 expression in a concentration-dependent manner, with the most substantial responses observed following exposure to LPS from MDRP and MDRA. These different effects on the gene expression in PMNs may depend on variation in LPS structural modifications related to acquired drug resistance, such as acylation and/or glycosylation.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 expression on neutrophils is associated with inflammation and infection. However, the dynamic changes of the TREM-1 expression on neutrophils have not been clarified in inflammatory acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the TREM-1 expression on peripheral blood and peritoneal neutrophils and its relationship with the levels of plasma cytokines and disease severity in a mouse model of AP following injection with varying doses of L-arginine to induce mild AP (MAP) or severe AP (SAP). The results indicated that induction of MAP or SAP was associated with moderate and severe pancreatic tissue damage and varying levels of serum and peritoneal fluid amylase as well as survival rates in mice. In comparison with that in the healthy controls, significantly increased percentages of peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid CD14-TREM-1(+) neutrophils and higher levels of TREM-1 mRNA transcripts in peripheral blood nuclear cells were detected in the MAP and SAP mice, particularly in the SAP mice. Higher levels of plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), but lower levels of plasma interleukin (IL)-10, were detected in the MAP and SAP mice at varying time points post induction. The percentages of peripheral blood CD14-TREM-1(+) neutrophils were correlated positively with the levels of TNF-α, GM-CSF, and amylase as well as the pathogenic scores, but negatively with the levels of IL-10 in the AP mice. Therefore, TREM-1(+) neutrophils may participate in the pathogenesis of AP and serve as a biomarker for evaluating the severity of AP.

Abstract
AIMS G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2), a cytosolic enzyme desensitizing G protein-couple receptors (e.g., β-adrenergic receptors [β-ARs]), is involved in regulation of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and inflammatory response. Since cellular GRK2 levels change quickly in response to exogenous/endogenous stimuli, this study examined whether GRK2 levels in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) would increase during acute aerobic exercise and be associated with plasma IL-6 and cardiorespiratory fitness levels. MAIN METHODS Eighteen subjects (8 men and 10 women), ages 18 to 30 years, were recruited to perform a 30-minute bout of acute aerobic exercise at 75% VO2max. KEY FINDINGS Our results demonstrated that women exhibited significantly greater exercise-induced GRK2 expression in PBMCs compared to men. IL-6 modulation is independent of GRK2 expression. Furthermore, the percent change in GRK2 expression was negatively correlated with cardiorespiratory fitness levels (relative VO2max), but not plasma IL-6. SIGNIFICANCE Acute aerobic exercise induces a greater GRK2 expression in women than men, while increased cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with exercise-induced GRK2 expression in PBMCs. Gender could be a contributor to regulate this GRK2 responsiveness to acute aerobic exercise.
