Identification of Exosomal Isletokines Released by Pancreatic Islets in Response to Inflammatory Stress
Purpose: To identify isletokines released by exosomes from human islets that have been exposed to hypoxic or inflammatory conditions and define stress signaling pathways that…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Study of the Influence on hIAPP Deposition and Dysfunction in INS-1 Cell by Calcineurin Inhibitors
Background hIAPP is formed in islet β cells, misfolded hIAPP results in the deposition inside the β-cells and shows a damage to the β-cells. The…2018 American Transplant Congress
Improvement of Metabolic Function after Intra-Portal Allogeneic Islet Transplantation by Induction Treatment of the Non-Hematopoetic Erytropoetin Analogue Cibinetide in a Mouse Model
IntroductionRecently, we have demonstrated that cibinetide, a non-hematopoetic erytropoetin analogue, protected pancreatic islets from cytokine-induced damage and apoptosis and ameliorated the early inflammatory response following…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Decellularization Protocol – Comparison of Methods
Foundation of Research and Science Development, Otwock, Poland.
Background: Whole organ decellularization is gaining a lot of popularity since its development in tissue engineering. It is a process which allows to create complex…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Role of CD46 in Early Islet Engraftment in a Dual Transplant Model
Department of Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.
IntroductionMembrane cofactor protein (CD46) is known to attenuate the complement cascade by facilitating cleavage of C3b and C4b. In solid organ xenotransplantation, organs expressing CD46…2018 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Culture/Preservation Conditions on Human Islet Survival and Function
BackgroundIslet transplantation is an effective treatment for type-1 diabetic patients suffering from severe hypoglycemic episodes. Islet culture or preservation post-isolation has been adopted by various…2018 American Transplant Congress
Islet Xenotransplantation: A Quest for Clinically Available Immunosuppression Regimens
Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
IntroductionThe field of porcine islet xenotransplantation has made significant progress in non-human primate studies in recent years. However, one major barrier preventing clinical translation of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Extracellular Matrix from Pancreas Improves Human Islet Function In Vitro
Background:Islets which are clinically transplanted into the portal vein are subjected to inflammatory insults in the peri-transplant period followed by immune assault causing long-term islet…2018 American Transplant Congress
Ex Vivo Expanded Regulatory B Cells Promote Allograft Survival through IL-10-Dependent Pathway
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Immunomodulatory capacity of B cells make them a promising therapeutic tool for autoimmune and alloimmune response in patients. We found that transplant tolerance induced by…2018 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of Human Islet Damage during In Vitro Culture Using miRNA 375
BackgroundIslet culture prior to transplantation has been shown to facilitate recovery, reduce immunogenicity, suppress exocrine contamination and provides flexibility for evaluation of islets and preparation…
