Induction of Transplant Tolerance by Modulating the Metabolic Stress Pathways
Houston Methodist Research Institute, Houston, TX
*Purpose: T cell activation and effector differentiation precede graft rejection, and this process is associated with robust metabolic burst to meet the energy demand of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prophylactic Treatment with Antioxidant Nanoparticles Attenuate Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in BALB/c Mice
*Purpose: Kidney is more susceptible to hypoxic damage than other organ because kidney tissue consumes most of oxygen to move various solute across membrane. Ischemia/reperfusion…2020 American Transplant Congress
Cyclophilin-D Inhibition Mitigates Cardiac Allograft Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Rejection
*Purpose: The clinical relevance of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in the context of organ transplantation is well-established. IRI is associated with various forms of programmed cell…2020 American Transplant Congress
XIAP Enhances Xenoislet Survival: Novel Models to Evaluate Pretransplantation Gene Modifications
*Purpose: Porcine islet xenotransplantation offers a reliable and near limitless supply of islets for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Intraportal infusion of cells exposes…2020 American Transplant Congress
Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Ameliorates Glucose Fluctuation Through Reducing Apoptosis and Infiltration of Inflammatory Cells after Intraportal Islet Transplantation in Rodent Model
*Purpose: Islet transplantation is a useful treatment option for insulin dependent diabetes mellitus with severe hypoglycemic event. However, intraportal islet transplantation is known to induce…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Cold Ischemia Increases Reactive Oxygen Species Activates Autophagy by Enhancing Glycolysis in the Graft Through the mTOR Signaling Pathway in Orthotopic Lung Transplantation of Rats
*Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate the mechanisms by which prolonged CI influences the autophagy in the graft lung, in which…2020 American Transplant Congress
Predominant Role of Microvascular Injury and Rarefaction Function as Drivers of Progressive Renal Damage and Fibrosis Post Mild and Severe Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for chronic renal failure. Here, we characterize the different cell deaths in tubular and microvascular compartments…2020 American Transplant Congress
Protective Effect of Fucoidan Against Tacrolimus-Induced Nephrotoxicity in LLC-PK1 Cells
Surgery, University of Ulsan, Gangneung Asan Hospital, Gangneung, Korea, Republic of
*Purpose: Tacrolimus (FK506) is an immunosuppressant agent that is frequently used to prevent rejection of solid organs upon transplant. However, nephrotoxicity due to apoptosis and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Immunomodulation with FasL Presenting Biomaterials Achieves Long-Term Survival of Allogeneic Islets in the Absence of Chronic Immunosuppression in a Non-Human Primate Model
*Purpose: The full potential of islet transplantation will only be realized by the development of tolerogenic strategies that obviate the need for maintenance immunosuppressants. We…2020 American Transplant Congress
Caspase-1 Knockout Mice Have Increased Survival after Cold Ischemia in a Murine Kidney Transplant Model
*Purpose: Prolonged cold ischemia (CI) is a known risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) after kidney transplantation. However, the mechanism by which CI leads…
