Abrogating Donor-Derived Myd88 Signaling Impairs the Recruitment of Recipient Neutrophils and CD8 T Cells into Lung Allografts in Mice.
Objectives: Transplant ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) mediated primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the predominant cause of short- and long-term graft loss in lung transplantation. This…2016 American Transplant Congress
miR-21 in Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy.
Background. Heart transplantation is the most effective therapy to prolong life expectancy in patients with end-stage heart failure. However, despite much progress in the field,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Protective Impact of the Kidney in SPK Transplants – Mechanisms for Improved Outcomes Compared with Solitary Transplants.
Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN.
Purpose: Outcomes for SPK txps are superior to solitary pancreas txps. The basis for this difference is unknown. We sought to identify the biologic mechanism…2016 American Transplant Congress
Differential Regulation of the Microvascular Endothelial Cell Mediated Allogeneic CD4+ T Cell Response by Anti-HLA-DR and -DQ Alloantibodies in an Inflammatory Context.
This study examines the basic mechanisms by which high levels of circulating HLA class II donor-specific-antibodies can contribute to microvasculature damage in chronic antibody mediated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of Human Islet Transplant Specific Exosomes in a Xenoislet Transplantation Model.
Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: There is a critical need for biomarker platforms for monitoring transplant rejection. We propose that transplant tissues release donor specific exosomes into recipient blood/…2016 American Transplant Congress
Everolimus with Low-Dose Tacrolimus vs. a Standard Immunosuppressive Regimen: Renal Histology at 6 Months in De Novo Renal Transplant Patients.
Morphologic changes in transplant protocol biopsies provide early evidence of renal damage. This study examined the renal histology of de novo patients 6 months post…2016 American Transplant Congress
Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies Are Associated with Allograft Loss in Pediatric Renal Transplantation.
Background: Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibody (AT1R-Ab) is associated with vascular injury and allograft failure in adult kidney transplantation. Its role in pediatric transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Functional Status and Comorbidity Are Associated with High Costs After Liver Transplantation.
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical characteristics associated with high costs of liver transplantation (LT) at a large transplant center…2016 American Transplant Congress
Mothers Are Often Sensitized and Sensitive: Antibody Mediated Rejection in Child to Mother Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Background: Partial graft is especially more vulnerable to deleterious effects of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA). Living liver donors and recipients are often family members.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Receptor Blockade (ARB) Exposure on Intragraft Gene Expression of Kidney Transplant Patients.
Objective: Treatment with ACEI or ARB has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in animal models but this effect has not been investigated in kidney…
