Lymphotoxin (LT) β Receptor-Mediated Non-Classical NFκB Signaling in Lymphatic Endothelial Eells (LEC) is Required for Homeostatic T Cell Migration.
Background: The selective recruitment of regulatory T cells (Treg) or blockade of memory/effector T cell migration to the graft and draining lymph nodes (dLN) are…2017 American Transplant Congress
Bioengineering Human Islets to Form Peri-Islet Vessels from Intraislet Endothelial Cells for Improving Human Islet Function.
Native islets in the pancreas have a rich vascular supply however, the current islet isolation technique completely severs the vasculature to islets. As such, these…2017 American Transplant Congress
Optimization of Pancreatic Islet-Like Clusters from hiPSCs for Cell Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes.
Surgery, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA
IntroductionTreatment for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) includes pancreas or islets of Langerhans transplantation. Pancreatic beta-like cells from differentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer…2017 American Transplant Congress
Mycophenolic Acid Needs Ca2+ to Exert Its Anti-inflammatory Action via Shedding of Toll-Like Receptor4 and Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1.
Background Mycophenolic acid (MPA) has been used for many years to prevent transplantation rejection. Recently, it has been investigated for its anti-inflammatory effects. MPA can…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Protease Activated Receptor 1 and Sphingosine-1-Phospate Receptor 1 in Mice Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury for Targeting Cell Signal Pathways of Activated Protein C.
Introduction: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious comlication during liver surgery. As for therapeutic strategies on hepatic IRI, we previously demonstrated that activated protein…2017 American Transplant Congress
Protective Effects of Bryostatin-1 on Neutrophil Migration in an In Vitro Model of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury: Impact for Therapy.
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inherent component of solid organ transplantation and axiomatically linked to graft damage. In the kidney, IRI results in a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Blocking MHC Class II on Human Endothelium Mitigates Acute Rejection of Vessel Allografts by Effector Memory T Cells.
Acute allograft rejection is mediated by alloreactive CD8+ T cells that differentiate into cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL). In most rodent models, CTL differentiate from naïve CD8+…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pathogenic Role of Anti-HLA Antibodies on Endothelial Progenitor Cell Dysfunction of Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplanted Patients.
Anti-HLA antibodies (abs) bind to kidney graft endothelial cells inducing complement-mediated injury and humoral rejection. Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) are bone marrow-derived precursors able to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Sphingosine 1-Phosphate (S1P) Receptors Differentially Regulate Murine and Human CD4 T Cell Migration Across Lymphatic Endothelium.
1University of Maryland, Baltimore; 2University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
S1P and S1PR1 are used by T cells to migrate from thymus across microvascular endothelium to the blood circulation, and across medullary lymphatic endothelium of…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Unique In Vitro Migration Model for Leukocyte Trans-Lymphatic Endothelial Migration.
1University of Maryland, Baltimore; 2University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Trans-endothelial migration (TEM) is an essential process for leukocyte circulation. While much is known about lymphocyte blood to tissue migration, far less is known about…
