Non-hematopoietic TREM2 aggravates LCMV-induced hepatitis. (AG) Chimeric mice were generated by reciprocal transfer of WT and Trem2 −/− bone marrow and subsequently infected with LCMV strain WE. (A,B) Serum kinetics of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (A) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (B) were measured after LCMV infection (n = 8–9 mice per group, data pooled from two similar experiments). (C,D) Serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP) (C) and bilirubin (D) were measured ten days post infection (n = 8–9 mice per group, data pooled from two similar experiments). (EG) Liver sections from infected mice were stained for LCMV nucleoprotein. Representative images are shown in (E) and LCMV+ hepatocytes and Kupffer cells were quantified (F,G) (n = 8–9 mice per group, data pooled from two similar experiments harvested at 10 respectively 12 days post infection). Scale bar represents 50 μM. Statistical significance was calculated by (A–D) Two-way or by (F,G) One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. Symbols respectively bars represent the mean ± SEM.
