TREM2 mediates MHCII-associated CD4<sup>+</sup>T cell response against gliomas

ABSTRACT Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) was recently highlighted as a novel immune suppressive marker in peripheral tumors. The aim of this study was to characterizeTREM2expression in gliomas and investigate its contribution in glioma progression by usingTrem2-/-mouse line. Our results showed that higherTREM2expression was correlated with poor prognosis in glioma patients. Unexpectedly, TREM2 deficiency did not have a beneficial effect in a pre-clinical model of glioma. The increasedTREM2expression in glioma was likely due to increased myeloid cell infiltration, as evidenced by our single-cell analysis showing that almost all microglia and macrophages in gliomas were TREM2+. Furthermore, we found that deficiency of TREM2 impaired tumor-myeloid phagocytosis and MHCII presentation, and significantly reduced CD4+T cells in tumor hemispheres. Our results revealed a previously unrecognized protective role of tumor-myeloid TREM2 in promoting MHCII-associated CD4+T cell response against gliomas.SUMMARY Authors found that although higherTREM2expression is correlated with poor prognosis in glioma patients, its absence has no beneficial effect in a pre-clinical model of glioma. Deficiency of TREM2 impairs myeloid cell phagocytosis of tumor debris, leading to a reduction in MHCII-dependent CD4+anti-glioma immunity..
