Abstract

In 2022, stroke emerged as the most significant cerebrovascular disorder globally, causing 6.55 million deaths. Microglia, crucial for CNS preservation, can exacerbate brain damage in ischemic stroke by triggering neuroinflammation. This process is mediated by receptors on microglia, triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1 and TREM-2), which have contrasting roles in neuroinflammation. In this study, we recruited 38 patients within 4.5 h from the onset of ischemic stroke. The degree of severity was evaluated by means of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission (T0) and after one week of ischemic events (TW) and the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at three months. The plasma concentration of TREMs (sTREM) was analyzed by next-generation ELISA at T0 and TW. The sTREM-1 concentrations at T0 were associated with mRS, while the sTREM-2 concentrations at T0 were associated with both the NIHSS at T0 and the mRS. A strong correlation between sTREM-1 and sTREM-2 was observed, suggesting a dependent modulation of the levels. This study provides insights into the potential pathway of TREM-1 and TREM-2 as a future biomarker for stratifying high-risk patients with ischemic stroke.
