Predictive Value of Renal Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) Expression Both in Inflammation and Interstitial Fibrosis Processes in Recipients with Antibody-Mediated Rejection.
The activation of PARP is well considered to play an augmenting role in inflammation. However, its role in the development of fibrosis is not well…2017 American Transplant Congress
Podocyte Participates in the ST2 Related Renal Fibrosis.
Objective Soluble ST2 (sST2) which is the receptor of IL-33 is involved in renal inflammation and it is also correlated with disease severity in chronic…2017 American Transplant Congress
Changes in Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin Combined with Urine Cytokines and Microalbuminuria as Predictors for Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy in Kidney Transplantation: A Matched-Pair Tissue Cohort Study.
Background: Late graft loss from interstitial fibrosis - tubular atrophy (IF/TA) continues to be the “Achilles' heel” of kidney transplantation (KT). Long-term calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Quantitative Analysis of 10-Year Surveillance Renal Allograft Biopsies.
Introduction. Assessing late histologic changes in renal allografts is important to investigating etiology and devising treatment. Compared to the usual semi-quantitative reading by a renal…2017 American Transplant Congress
Determinants of Severe Interstitial Fibrosis in Kidney Allografts: Major Impact of Circulating Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies.
Paris Translational Research Center for Organ Transplantation, Paris, France
Interstitial fibrosis represents a major cause of kidney allograft failure. We investigated the independent contribution of circulating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) in the development of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Tissue Transcriptional Profile of Portal Inflammation with Interface Activity in Pediatric Liver Transplant (LT) Recipients with Normal Liver Tests Closely Resembles T Cell Mediated Rejection (TCMR).
Background: Significant inflammation±fibrosis is frequently seen in biopsies (bxs) of pediatric LT recipients with normal liver tests assessed for immunosuppression withdrawal. The pathogenesis of these…2017 American Transplant Congress
HCC and Cardiac Cirrhosis After the Fontan Procedure in a Patient with Congenital Heart Disease and Situs Inversus.
Division of Abdominal Transplantation, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Introduction. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a fatal congenital cardiac anomaly for which surgical palliation is needed, the Fontan procedure. HLHS accounts for <5%…2017 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Urinary Transglutaminase 2 Is a Potent Biomarker to Predict Kidney Allograft Inflammation or Fibrosis.
Transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) is an extracellular matrix crosslinking enzyme with a pivotal role in kidney fibrosis. We tested the hypothesis that quantification of urinary…2016 American Transplant Congress
Non-Invasive – Minimalistic Approach Using Cell-Free MicroRNAs in Paired Plasma and Urine Samples for Early Diagnosis of Chronic Renal Allograft Dysfunction.
1Surgery, UVA, Charlottesville, VA; 2VCU, Richmond; 3NWU, Chicago.
Background: Reducing use of tissue biopsy by efficiently using non-invasive samples for continuous monitoring and evaluation of graft function would be ideal. Reports indicate continuous…2016 American Transplant Congress
MiRNA-200b Inhibits Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in TGF-β1 Induced Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells.
Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
The role of TGF-β1 in mediating extracellular matrix remodeling during the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis has been well defined. Dysregulated expression of miRNA is increasingly…
