Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a highly destructive neurodegenerative disorder,and due to its complex pathology and insuffi-cient treatment,it is urgent to explore new targets that can directly address the root cause of the disease.In recent years,numerous stud-ies have shown that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)in microglial cells has the function of delaying the pro-gression of AD,and its abnormality plays a key role in the development and progression of AD,with a potential of being used as a target for the treatment of AD.This article reviews the biological characteristics of TREM2 and discusses its important role in the three major pathological features of AD and its potential as a target for AD treatment,in order to deepen the understanding of the role of TREM2 in AD and provide a theoretical reference for exploring new targets for AD treatment in the future.

Objective:To find clues potentially valuable for fighting against infection with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), the differentially expressed genes in HEp-2 cells infected with HRSV were analyzed.Methods:Gene expression profiles of HEp-2 cells infected with HRSV were collected from the public gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes following HRSV infection at each time point of 4, 8, 12, and 15 hours were found using R language. The differentially expressed genes were analyzed by gene ontology (GO), KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction network (PPI). Genes with relatively high protein interaction in PPI were randomly selected for quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) verification at the transcription level from HEp-2 cells after HRSV infection at 4 hours.Results:A total of 101 differentially expressed genes were determined, including 92 upregulated genes and 9 downregulated genes. Function enrichment analysis revealed that HRSV infection could cause significant changes in multiple signaling pathways such as immune response in HEp-2 cells. The results of qRT-PCR were consistent with the trend of transcriptome data.Conclusions:The differentially expressed genes and the change of signaling pathways in HRSV-infected HEp-2 cells is of great significance to the studies on pathogenic mechanism and prevention of HRSV infection.
