The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 plays a crucial role during the onset of sepsis by amplifying the host immune response. The TREM-like transcript-1 (TLT-1) belongs to the TREM family, is selectively expressed on activated platelets, and is known to facilitate platelet aggregation through binding to fibrinogen. In this study, we show that a soluble form of TLT-1 is implicated in the regulation of inflammation during sepsis by dampening leukocyte activation and modulating platelet-neutrophil crosstalk. A 17-aa sequence of the TLT-1 extracellular domain (LR17) is responsible for this activity through competition with the TREM-1 ligand. Whereas early or late LR17 treatment of septic mice improves survival, trem1-1(-/-) animals are highly susceptible to polymicrobial infection. The present findings identify platelet-derived soluble TLT-1 as a potent endogenous regulator of sepsis-associated inflammation and open new therapeutic perspectives. We anticipate soluble TLT-1 to be important in regulating leukocyte activation during other noninfectious inflammatory disorders. The Journal of Immunology, 2012, 188: 5585-5592.
