Graft CEACAM1 is Essential to Autophagy Induction and T-Cell Regulation in Liver Transplantation: From Mouse-to-Human
We have documented crucial role of TIM-3 dependent T cell dysfunction in mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). CEACAM1 (CM1; Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1),…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Role of Natural Killer Cells in Recognition and Killing of Stem Cells and Stem Cell-Derived Hepatoblasts.
Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA
The generation of stem cell-derived hepatocytes holds promise as a cell-based treatment for liver disease. However, the immune response to stem cell-derived grafts is poorly…2017 American Transplant Congress
TIM-3 – CEACAM1 Checkpoint Regulation of T-Cell Activation and Hepatocellular Function in Liver Transplantation.
Background/Aim: We have documented crucial role of TIM-3 dependent T cell dysfunction in mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). CEACAM1 (CD66a; CM1; Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of STEEN vs Gelofusine as Perfusate During Normothermic Ex Vivo liver Perfusion on Outcome of Pig Liver Transplantation.
Multiorgan Transplant Program, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada
European and North American clinical trials have used two different perfusate solutions for normothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (NEVLP): Gelofusine (bovine derived gelatin-based solution) and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Beneficial Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Porcine Hepatocytes Viability and Albumin Secretion.
Aim: Acute liver failure carries a very high mortality and transplantation of encapsulated pig hepatocytes might temporarily compensate the metabolic functions until the dysfunctional liver…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Semimature Dendritic Cell on Transplantation Tolerance of Hepatocytes Differentiated from Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells.
The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
Objective Research of semimature dendritic cell(smDCs) inducing transplantation toleranceof hepatocytes differentiated from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and its mechanismtions.Methods Inducing 129 mouse ESCs labelled…2016 American Transplant Congress
The mTORC2 Activation Is Critical for Hepato-Cytoprotection Against Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury.
Background & AimsRapamycin and Everolimus have been used in liver transplant patients, particularly those with calcineurin inhibitor-related nephrotoxicity and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although designed as mTORC1…2015 American Transplant Congress
Marked Suppression of Posttransplant Alloantibody Production and Primed B cell Function In Vivo by mTOR Inhibition Compared to Calcineurin Inhibition
Department of Surgery, CTC, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
mTOR inhibitors [mTORi; Rapamycin, (Rapa)] and calcineurin inhibitors [CNi; Tacrolimus (Tac)] are immunosuppressives commonly used to suppress rejection of transplants. Despite widespread use following transplantation…2015 American Transplant Congress
Hepatocyte-Related miR-193a-3p Is Over-Expressed in Allograft Biopsy from Liver Tolerant Recipients
While liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver diseases, its success is compromised by the need to administer life-long immunosuppression, which negatively…2015 American Transplant Congress
Distinctive Roles of mTORC1 Vs. mTORC2 in Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) exists in two complexes to regulate diverse biological processes. Although mTOR complex 1, the canonical target of rapamycin, has been…
