Inhibition of Liver Natural Killer Cells Activation Through Co-Transplantation of Pre-Activated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Contributes to Improvement of Islet Graft Survival.
Department of Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan
Introduction: We have previously reported that enhancement of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated liver NK-cell activity after intraportal islet transplantation (IT) inhibits engraftment of islets. Recently,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immune Sensitization During Pregnancy Reduces Long-Term Benefit for Kidney Recipients of Offspring Living Donors.
Background Offspring-to-mother kidney transplantations are associated with excellent short-term outcomes given the accuracy of histocompatibility testing and potency of immunosuppression. However, immunologic memory responses in…2017 American Transplant Congress
The mTOR Signal Regulates Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Differentiation and Immunosuppressive Function in Acute Kidney Injury.
Urology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine–threonine kinase that senses various environmental stimuli. The mTOR signal controls innate and adaptive immune response in…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Equation, GRAIL (GfR Assessment in Liver Disease) Correctly Classifies Patients with Reduced GFR and Predicts Development of ESRD.
1BUMC, Dallas, TX; 2USC, LA, CA; 3NW, Chicago, IL
Estimating glomerular filtration rate(CKD-EPI, MDRD-4, MDRD-6) is poor in liver patients with renal dysfunction(GFR<30ml/min). We developed a model for GFR Assessment In Liver disease(GRAIL) before…2017 American Transplant Congress
IdeS, an IgG Endopeptidase, Effectively Cleaves Anti-CMV IgG, Resulting in Inhibition of Antibody (Ab)-Mediated NK Cell Activation in Kidney Transplant Patients (KTX Pts).
Background: Viral infections represent significant morbidity factors for KTx Pts. Ab-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a major pathway to eliminate virally infected cells and is…2017 American Transplant Congress

Introduction: The Microcirculation Inflammation (IM) in kidney transplants is a strong predictor of graft loss inde-pedent of C4d and donor specific antibody(DSA)ObjetiveAnalysis of kidney allograft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Naïve and Interferon-gamma Activated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentially Affect Immune Responses In Vitro and In Vivo.
We have observed interferon gamma-treated autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to rapidly ex vivo expand CD3+CD4+CD25- T cells to >80% CD3+CD4+C25+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells with…2017 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of 100 ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplants: A Single US Center Experience.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
IntroductionAcceptable patient and graft outcomes of ABO incompatible (ABOi) living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) have been reported with the use of desensitization strategies. Data on…2017 American Transplant Congress
Incidental Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Explanted Livers: An Assessment After LIRADS Introduction.
1Surgery, Washington University, St. Louis, MO; 2Radiology, Washington University, St. Louis, MO
