Circulating Inflammatory Factors in Deceased Organ Donors Result in Innate Immune Activation.
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
Background: Superior outcomes of living-donor compared to deceased-donor transplants may be related to increased graft immunogenicity at the time of transplant. Donor brain death results…2017 American Transplant Congress
Suppression of Inflammation by Withaferin A in Cerulein-Induced Pancreatitis Model Results in Improved Syngeneic Islet Engraftment.
Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by inflammatory damage to acinar cells followed by islets. In clinical islet autotransplantation, patients with advanced stages of CP…2017 American Transplant Congress
IL-3 Contributes to Development of Basophil-Triggered Cardiac Allograft Fibrosis Development.
Introduction: Organ fibrosis and vasculopathy are major causes of chronic cardiac allograft failure. Resident (donor-derived) fibroblasts are thought to be mainly responsible for excessive production…2017 American Transplant Congress
Human IL-10 Transfection of Porcine Lungs Significantly Increases IL-10 Levels in Vascular Perfusate During Human Blood Perfusion.
PurposePorcine organs are a potential source for clinical xenotransplantation. Pig lungs perfused with human blood exhibit inflammation and loss of vascular barrier function within hours.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Preceeding the Rejection: Clinical Results of a Saliva Test After Renal Transplantation.
Introduction There remains a need for biomarker in transplantation for monitoring and early identification of rejection episodes (R). We developed a colorimetric assay to detect…2017 American Transplant Congress
Human Islet-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Stimulate CD14+ Monocytes Resulting in Proinflammatory Cytokine Production.
Department of Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada
Introduction: The cellular events involved in the generation of an auto and allo-reactive immune response in recipients of islet transplantation are not well understood. In…2017 American Transplant Congress
Quantity and Functions of CD4–CD8– Double Negative (DN) αβ T Cells in Kidney Is MHC Dependent.
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
Background: Prior studies have established important roles of CD4+ T cells, natural killer T cells, and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs in kidney ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) pathogenesis.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Low Level Light Laser Treatment Reduces Macrophage Retention and ROS Levels Following Tissue Injury.
1University of Illinois, Chicago; 2Rush University, Chicago
Following ischemia reperfusion injury, inflamed macrophages switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis; in contrast, macrophages associated with tissue repair rely on oxidative phosphorylation. The triggers…2017 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Donor Lung Preservation with Portable EVLP Significantly Reduces Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Lung Recipients by Promoting Cytokine Antagonists.
ObjectivesThe INSPIRE trial revealed significant reduction of PGD grade 3 using the Organ Care System (OCS) compared to the standard of care (SOC) for lung…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identification of NKG2D as Senescence Marker in Zero-Hour Kidney Biopsies Is Indicative for Clinical Outcome.
The definition of biological donor organ age rather than chronological age seems an obvious factor for the establishment of valid pre-transplant risk assessment. We therefore…
