Impact of DAA Treatment on Graft Fibrosis in HCV Positive Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Liver transplantation, LT, for HCV-related disease has the lowest five-year graft survival of all LT recipients, primarily due to accelerated fibrosis from unrestrained HCV…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predominant Role of Microvascular over Tubular Injury as Driver of Progressive Renal Damage and Fibrosis Post Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for allograft dysfunction and chronic renal failure. Although tubular epithelial cells (TEC) are considered the main…2019 American Transplant Congress
Fibrosis Scoring Correlates with Progression of Chronic Pancreatitis, Islet Isolation Yields and Transplant Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Islet Autotransplantation
*Purpose: Total pancreatectomy with autologous islet transplantation (TPIAT) is a promising procedure for alleviating pain and maintaining glucose homeostasis in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients. However,…2019 American Transplant Congress
Determining the Molecular Nature and Role of Cytoglobin in Chronic Allograft Nephropathy
*Purpose: Although it is usually accepted that the kidney is prone to hypoxic injury, the importance of hypoxia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well…2019 American Transplant Congress
Vimentin Inhibition Improves Post-Transplant Survival in a Mouse Renal Transplant Model
*Purpose: Most renal transplants ultimately fail secondary to chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). The development of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in renal tubular epithelial cells…2019 American Transplant Congress
Donor Renal Macrophages in Post-Transplant Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury (IRI): Role of IL-1R8 in Modulating Fate, Phenotype and Function
Mario Negri Institute, Ranica, Italy
*Purpose: Post-transplant (tx) IRI activates TLR/IL-1R on tissue resident leukocytes initiating innate immune response. We studied how donor renal resident macrophages (rMF) respond to post-tx…2019 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Pretreated Bortezomib on Renal Function after Renal Ischemia – Reperfusion Injury in Mice
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
*Purpose: To observe the effects of pretreated bortezomib at different points on renal function and renal histology after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.*Methods: A mice…2018 American Transplant Congress
Urine AngiotensinII Signature Proteins as Biomarkers of Fibrosis in Kidney Transplant Recipients
AngiotensinII (AngII), the main effector of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), causes kidney interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IFTA). However, there are presently no markers of AngII renal…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term HIF-1α Stabilization is Associated with Fibrosis in Rat Lung Allografts
Introduction: HIF-1α is a subunit of a heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and functions as a master transcriptional regulator of cellular and developmental…2018 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus Exposure in Human Proximal Tubule Cells Results in Differentially Increased CTGF Expression in Relation to Pharmacogenetic Variants of CYP3A5 and ABCB1
AIM: Clinical studies have demonstrated the importance of genetic variation for tacrolimus disposition and suggested a role in the development of renal fibrosis associated with…
