Strategies to Prevent Ischemic Cholangiopathy After Donation After Circulatory Death Donor Liver Transplantation.
Background: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donor pool remains underutilized for liver transplantation (LT). We describe optimizing the “modifiable risk factors”, such as CIT, recipient…2016 American Transplant Congress
Distinctive Roles of Gsk3 Inhibitory Phosphorylation in Liver Inflammatory Immune Response and Hepatocellular Injury Against Ischemia Reperfusion.
Background & AimsGlycogen synthase kinase 3 (Gsk3) a and b are ubiquitously expressed, constitutively active serine/threonine kinases, which play complex roles in cell activation, proliferation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Ex-Vivo Perfusion of the Intestine: The Introduction of an Innovative Physiologic Model with Novel Biomarkers.
General Surgery, Transplant Center, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH.
Purpose: Ischemia reperfusion injury is a major risk factor for short and long-term functional survival after intestinal transplantation. Normothermic machine perfusion is an emerging biotechnology…2016 American Transplant Congress
Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) Activity Protects Against Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Through MMP-9-Dependent and MMP-9-Independent Mechanisms.
The Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles.
Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteinases with key roles in tissue homeostasis, inflammation and repair. We have recently shown that MMP-9 and MMP-2,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Short-Term Starvation Attenuates Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by SIRT1-Autophagy Signaling in Mice.
Calorie restriction or starvation (fasting) has some beneficial effects on prolongation of life and increased resistance to stress. Calorie restriction has also been shown to…2016 American Transplant Congress
The First Impressions: A Study in Pre and Post-Implantation Renal Grafts for Early Detection Markers of Delayed Graft Function and Recovery.
1UVA, Charlottesville; 2VCU, Charlottesville; 3Northwestern University, Chicago.
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is mainly a consequence of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) resulting in acute tubular necrosis. The degree of IRI is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Liver Graft Rejuvenation Prior to Transplantation: A Bench-to-Bedside Approach.
1Surgery, Dumont-UCLA Translant Center, Los Angeles, CA; 2Pathology, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
To address the shortage of organs for transplantation many use “marginal” livers, which are particularly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). We have taken a two-pronged…2016 American Transplant Congress
Activation of Innate Immunity During Human OLT-IRI Triggers Adaptive Immunity and Correlates with the Degree of IRI Injury.
1Surgery, Dumont-UCLA Transplant Ctr, Los Angeles, CA; 2Pathology, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) can severely compromise graft and recipient survival. We postulate this is mediated by interactions between the…2016 American Transplant Congress
CD4 T Cell Mediated Help Is Required for Intra-Allograft Proliferation of Endogenous Memory CD8 T Cells and Their Ability to Mediate Rejection of Cardiac Allografts Subjected to Prolonged Ischemia.
Immunology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Memory T cells are critical components to protective immunity against recurrent pathogens, but memory T cells with donor-reactivity pose a major barrier to successful transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reprogram Macrophage Polarization and Attenuate Liver Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury by Regulating Notch/Cox2/PGE2 Signaling Pathway.
Background and aims: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown an immune modulatory properties and tissue repairing capability under inflammatory conditions. However, it is unknown…
