Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Antitumor cell activity in glioblastoma regulated by inhibiting triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2
TREM2 expression is higher in GBM tumors than normal brain tissue and inversely correlates with patient outcome. (A) Box plots of TREM2 expression in IDH1/2–wild-type
Article Description
TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells) is involved in the development of malignancies. However, the function of TREM2 in colorectal cancer has not been clearly elucidated. Here, we investigated TREM2 function for the first time in colorectal epithelial cancer cells and demonstrated that TREM2 is a novel tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma. Blockade of TREM2 significantly promoted the proliferation of HT29 colorectal carcinoma cells by regulating cell cycle-related factors, such as p53 phosphorylation and p21 and cyclin D1 protein levels. HT29 cell migration was also increased by TREM2 inhibition via MMP9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) expression upregulation. Furthermore, we found that the tumor suppressor effects of TREM2 were associated with Wnt/β-catenin and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. Importantly, the effect of TREM2 in the suppression of tumor development was demonstrated by in vivo and in vitro assays, as well as in human colon cancer patient tissue arrays. Overall, our results identify TREM2 as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.
