Age-Related Differences in Gene Expression Among Kidney Allografts with Normal Histology and Calcineurin Inhibitor Nephrotoxicity.
Background Most biomarker research first occurs in adult populations, with consequent extrapolation to children. However, age-related differences may impact gene expression, such as variations in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Similar Elevation of Gene Expression Associated with Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) of Renal Allografts Can Be Detected in Both Plasma Exosomes (pExo) and Biopsies (Bx) by Assessing mRNA Transcript Profiles.
Background: ABMR is a major obstacle for successful transplant in HLA-sensitized patients (Pts). Prediction of ABMR by non-invasive diagnostic tools is desirable. Previously we showed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Molecular Significance of Microvascular Inflammation Negative Transplant Glomerulopathy.
Transplant glomerulopathy (TGP) with donor specific antibodies (DSA) and microvascular inflammation (MVI) is due to chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR). We reported previously that intragraft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Specific Gene Expression Signature of Complement-Activating Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Allografts.
Complement-binding anti-HLA DSA have demonstrated higher rejection rate and decreased allograft survival. However, their specific effects on rejection pathogenesis have not been identified. We investigated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Significance of Peritubular Capillaritis in Early Transplant Kidney Biopsies of Donor-Specific Antibody Negative Patients.
Montefiore Medical Center Transplant Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx
Background: Peritubular capillaritis (PTC) is a part of microvascular inflammation seen in antibody-mediated rejection. However, it can be observed as an isolated lesion in early…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Antibody-Mediated Rejection After Kidney Transplantation by Specific MicroRNAs.
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is the major cause for allograft failure, since a curative therapy is lacking. There are also still challenges in ABMR diagnosis. The…2017 American Transplant Congress
Transcript Changes Associated with Graft Rejection Are Not Specific for Rejection Because They Are Shared with Tissue Responses to Wounding.
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
The diagnosis of rejection by histology is based on the presence of relatively non-specific lesions. This is because the histology lesions are actually non-specific, but…2017 American Transplant Congress
Gene Expression Signature of Subclinical Allograft Kidney ABMR Compared to Clinical ABMR.
BackgroundAntibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is characterized by a heterogeneous presentation. It occurs in clinically stable patients (sABMR) or in patients with allograft dysfunction (ABMR), but only…2017 American Transplant Congress
Increased Pro-Inflammatory and Decreased Interferon-Related Gene Expression in Older as Compared with Younger Kidney Transplant Recipients.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
Older transplant recipients experience increased rates of death and infection as compared with younger patients. Our previous studies demonstrated increased frequency of terminally differentiated and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Microarray Analysis of Rejection in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Biopsies: Similarities and Disparities with Conventionally Stabilized Biopsies.
Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Despite potential for performing molecular diagnostics on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) biopsies, there has been no systematic comparison of microarray gene expression data obtained from…
