Donor Specific Tolerance Can Be Induced by Donor Bone Marrow Transfer With Activation of Invariant Naturel Killer T Cells
It has been reported that liposomal formulation of a-galactosylceramide(lipo-aGC) could induce antigen specific regulatory T cells (Treg) in vivo when administered with particular antigens. We…2015 American Transplant Congress
HO-1 Modified Macrophages Promote Autophagy by Activating Sirt1/TGF-β/Smad4 Signaling in Ischemia-Stressed Mouse Liver Transplants
Background: Although heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is known to induce alternative macrophage activation towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Autophagy may play…2015 American Transplant Congress
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β Inhibition Promotes Human iTreg Differentiation and Suppressive Function
The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Induced regulatory T cells (iTregs) are essential to maintain immunological tolerance, immune homeostasis, and prevention of autoimmunity. Some studies suggest that glycogen synthase kinase 3β…2015 American Transplant Congress
Feasibility of Regulatory T Cell Cryopreservation and Banking for Clinical Therapeutic Applications
Feasibility of clinical application of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in clinical transplantation would be improved if Tregs or pre-enriched cells for Treg isolation could be…2015 American Transplant Congress
IL-33 Enhances Host Tolerance to Candida albicans Kidney Infections Through Induction of IL-13 Production by CD4+ T Cells
Susceptibility to systemic Candida albicans infection is determined not only by immune resistance but also by the ability to control Candida-induced immunopathologies. We previously showed…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Post-Transplant High-Dose Cyclophosphamide-Based Regimen to Promote Immune Tolerance After VCA
Background: VCA has become a viable treatment option for devastating tissue defects. However, the life-long need of immunosuppressive medications curtails the wider use of VCA.…2015 American Transplant Congress
ECDI Fixed Donor Splenocytes Combined With α-1 Antitrypsin Induce Immune Tolerance in Mice Cardiac Transplantation Model
Our previous study have shown that infusions of donor splenocytes fixed with 1-ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (ECDI-SPs) could prolong allografts survival in mice cardiac transplantation model. However, proinflammatory…2015 American Transplant Congress
Thymic Transplantation to Determine Mechanisms of Thymic Involution: Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor and Forkhead Box Protein N1 in the Thymus Play a Role in Maintaining the Juvenile Thymus
Thymic involution has long been associated with age-related changes of the immune system, although the cause remains unclear. We have extensively studied the role of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Induction of HO-1 High Expression Enhances the Capacity of Immature Dendritic Cells to Modulate Alloimmune Responses
Background: It has been reported that HO-1 is critical for tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) to suppress T cell responses and tolDCs will lost their immunoregulatory…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of HMOX1 Genetic Variation in Pancreas Transplant Recipients On Long-Term Graft Outcome
Variation within the heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) gene, essential for heme catabolism and a known inflammatory and immune regulator, is proposed to play a role…
