Regression of Asymptomatic Cardiomyopathy and Clinical Outcome of Renal Transplant Recipients: Long-Term Extension of Two Randomized Controlled Trials.
Nephrology, Dialysis, and Transplantation, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy.
Background Asymptomatic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is highly prevalent and associated with adverse outcome in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Nonetheless, there are currently no available…2016 American Transplant Congress
Absence of Receptors for C3a or C5a Prevent Alloreactive CD8 T Effector Cell (Teff) Expansion but Differentially Impact Memory (Tmem) Persistence Posttransplantation.
As Tmem are known barriers to transplant survival and tolerance in animals and human transplant recipients, understanding factors that drive the formation and survival of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor Sharpin Expression Modulates TNFα Mediated Inflammation and Cardiac Allograft Rejection in Mice.
Increased systemic TNFα levels correlate with transplant rejection and severity of GVHD, and TNFα blockade can prolong graft survival and reduce severity of GVHD. These…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Risk Quantification Score for Heart Transplants: A Heart Donor Risk Index.
Background: To better risk stratify heart transplants, we developed a continuous heart donor risk index (HDRI) based on heart donors to quantify heart allograft failure.Methods:…2016 American Transplant Congress
Neonatal Tolerance to Blood Group A-Antigen in a Mouse Model of ABO-Incompatible Heart Transplantation (ABOi HTx).
Purpose: ABOi HTx can be performed safely in infants due to lack of natural anti-A/B antibodies (Ab), in contrast to adults. Following ABOi HTx, B…2016 American Transplant Congress
C5a Induces CSF1-Dependent Regulatory Macrophage (Mreg) Development Required for Murine Allograft Tolerance.
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY.
Anti-CD40L (MR1) induced heart transplant tolerance has been recently shown to be dependent on early post-transplant intragraft accumulation of CD11b+Ly6CLoLy6G- DC-SIGN expressing Mreg that develop…2016 American Transplant Congress
Recapitulating Peripheral T Cell Development in Neonatal Mice to Induce Transplant Tolerance.
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Purpose: Neonatal mice are susceptible to tolerance induction with semi-allogeneic bone marrow and spleen cells (BMC/SC) while allogeneic BMC/SC cause acute lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).…2016 American Transplant Congress
Cold Storage Stabilization of Gap Junctions Reduces Post Transplant Ischemia Reperfusion Injury.
Purpose: Organ procurement, cold storage and ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) promote inflammation, which induces endothelial cell (EC) activation and dysfunction post transplantation. EC gap junctions…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin Prolongs Cardiac Allograft Survival in a Mouse Model by Inducing Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells.
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors are the main immunosuppressive drugs for organ transplant recipients. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which mTOR inhibitors induce immunosuppression is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Thoracic Simulation Allocation Modeling (TSAM) of a 6-Tier Allocation Strategy.
Heart allocation policy (OPTN policy 6) is in development. To stratify medical urgency, the Heart Subcommittee of the OPTN Thoracic Committee developed a 6-tier algorithm…
