CD46 Transgene Modification and Thrombosis in Neonatal Porcine Islet Xenotransplantation
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Vascular thrombosis activation is an important cause for early xeno-islet loss. To better understand the thrombosis process in islet xenotransplantation and the effect of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Insulin Treatment in Pancreas Donors on the Intensive Care is a Marker of Beta Cell Death as Evidenced by microRNA Data
University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
*Purpose: We showed in prior studies that donor insulin use on intensive care predicts early beta cell dysfunction in islet and solid pancreas transplantation. We…2019 American Transplant Congress
microRNA-375 Provides an Objective Measure of Pancreas Quality in Organ Donors
*Purpose: Donor pancreatic beta cells are at high risk from apoptosis. Objective methods for assessing the quality of donor pancreases for transplantation are limited. We…2019 American Transplant Congress
Using a Massive Open Online Course on Clinical Kidney, Prancreas and Islet Transplantion in Different Settings of Transplant Education
*Purpose: In 2016 our center launched a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Kidney, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation. As opposed to on-campus education, this course…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Protective Effects of siRNA Conjugated Nanoparticles in Pancreatic Islet Cells after Transplant
Columbia Center for Translational Immunology, Columbia University, New York, NY
*Purpose: To utilize a novel technology involving siRNA conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles to protect against ischemic damage to islet cells before transplant, therefore minimizing the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus Activated BMP Signaling Acts in Synergy with Stress-Activated FOXO1 to Induce Loss of Beta-Cell Function and Identity
*Purpose: Tacrolimus, the most widely used immunosuppressive drug, is known to be highly diabetogenic. It is thought to trigger β-cell death through inhibition of the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Preservation of Pancreatic Islets with Stem Cell Derived CD34+ Vascular Endothelial Progenitor Cells
1Surgery, UCSF, San Francisco, CA, 2Diabetes Center, UCSF, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Islet transplantation can cure Type 1 diabetes; however, multiple donors are needed due to extensive perioperative loss of islets when removed from their native…2019 American Transplant Congress
IL-10+ Plasma Cells Are Not Required for Breg Activity and Are Counterbalanced by Novel Pro-Inflammatory Plasma Cells
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Classically, B cells differentiate into Ab-secreting plasma cells (PCs; B220lowCD138hiBlimp1+Ig+) providing humoral immunity. B cells can also inhibit or promote immune responses through the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Resolution of Hyperglycemia Following Islet Allograft Transplantation in Non-Immunosuppressed Mice
*Purpose: Kidney allografts are naturally tolerogenic in mice. Certain mouse strain combinations develop tolerance of kidney allografts across full MHC incompatibilities without immunosuppression (e.g. DBA/2…2019 American Transplant Congress
Predicting Metabolic Outcomes in Islet Autotransplantation before Transplantation
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
*Purpose: Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Auto-transplantation (TPIAT) has been actively performed on patients with severe, debilitating pain of chronic pancreatitis. The outcome of islet transplantation…
