Rcor1 and Regulation of Foxp3+ T-Regulatory Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA
*Purpose: While Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells are well established as central players in regulation of allograft acceptance and tolerance, the contributions of several types of…2018 American Transplant Congress
An In Vitro Model of Human Antibody-Mediated Rejection Depicts Key Role for NK Cells
AIM: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is the leading cause of kidney allograft loss but its immune mechanisms are incompletely understood. We sought to examine key interactions…2017 American Transplant Congress
Glycolytic and Glutaminolytic Metabolism Supports IL-15 Induced Inflammatory Response of Temra CD8 from Kidney Transplant Recipients.
1CRTI UMR1064, INSERM, Nantes, France; 2CRCNA UMR892, INSERM, Nantes, France
Rational. We have recently shown that the accumulation of TEMRA CD8 in kidney transplant recipients (Tx) is associated with a higher risk of kidney dysfunction.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Function and TCR signaling Profile of CD57+ T Cells in Allo-Specific Immunity.
Our studies have showed that CD57+ cells are resistant to B7 costimulation blockade (CoB). We hypothesize that CD57+ cells are highly sensitive to T cell…2017 American Transplant Congress
Cell-Subset Diversity in Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells Used in Renal Ischemic Reperfusion Injury Treatment.
Studies in our novel hybrid model of transplantion/ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) in rat has demonstrated significant improvement in kidney function post injection of adipose-derived regenerative…2017 American Transplant Congress
High Eomesodermin Expression Correlates with Potent Human Allo-Reactive CD8+ Effector T Cells.
Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
BackgroundThe transcription factors Eomesodermin (Eomes) and T-bet are thought to play critical roles in CD8+ effector memory T cell development. However, the role of Eomes…2016 American Transplant Congress
Natural Killer Cells Display Functional and Receptor Diversity in Response to Alloantigen.
Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the first-line defense against tumor and virus-infected cells. Although “missing-self” suggests NK cells would target foreign…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin (RPM) Synergizes with CD154 mAb and DST to Promote Long-Term Vascularized Composite Allograft (VCA) Survival, but Prevents Induction of Donor-Specific Tolerance.
Even though CD154 mAb (MR-1) plus donor splenocyte transfusion (DST) is very effective at inducing tolerance of various allografts, such as those of hearts, kidneys…2016 American Transplant Congress
Cytokine Networks in Kidney Transplant Patients.
As key mediators of the intercellular communication, cytokines play a crucial role in many processes following transplantation, including inflammation, tissue regeneration, and anti-microbial defense. Locally…2016 American Transplant Congress
Eomesodermin Expression by CD8+ Alloreactive T Cells in Human and Nonhuman Primate Allograft Recipients.
Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
Background:The transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes) is critical in the maintenance of antigen-specific memory T cells (Tmem). We have shown previously that prolonged kidney allograft survival…
