TREM-2 serves as a negative immune regulator through Syk pathway in an IL-10 dependent manner in lung cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
During infection, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM-2) restrains dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MΦs) phagocytosis, as well as reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines release through DNAX-activation protein 12 (DAP12) signaling. However, the role of TREM-2 signaling in cancer has never been elucidated. In the current study, we found that TREM-2 was up-regulated on peripheral blood monocytes in tumor-bearing host. More TREM-2+DCs were detected in the lung of 3LL tumor-bearing mice. On the other hand, the level of TREM-2 on pulmonary MΦs positively correlated with the pathological staging of lung cancer. However, surgical or chemotherapeutic reduction of tumor burden led to the obvious decline of TREM-2. In vitro, TREM-2 expression of bone marrow (BM)-derived DCs and MΦs was induced by conditional medium (CM) containing the supernatant of 3LL cells. TREM-2+DCs from CM and/or tumor-bearing mice held altered phenotypes (CD80LowCD86LowMHCIILow) and impaired functions, such as, reduced interleukin (IL)-12 secretion, increased IL-10 production, and weakened ovalbumin (OVA)-endocytic capacity; also developed potent inhibitory effect on T cell proliferation that could be partially reversed by TREM-2 blockage. Moreover, spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor restrained IL-10 production of TREM-2+DC. Remarkably, IL-10 neutralizing antibody and Syk inhibitor both lowered the suppressive potential of TREM-2+DCs in T cell proliferation. Also, adoptive transfer of this TREM-2+DCs accelerated the tumor growth rather than jeopardized survival in lung cancer-bearing mice. In conclusion, these results indicate that TREM-2 might act as a negative immuno-regulatory molecule through Syk pathway in an IL-10 dependent manner and partially predicts prognosis in lung cancer patients.
