¹Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles, CA, ²The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China, ³China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, JiLing, China
*Purpose: We have shown previously that glycogen synthase kinase β (Gsk3β) regulates liver inflammatory activation against ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). The question of whether it also…

The Inflammatory Response in the Context of Tissue Injury: Roles of Tyro3, Axl, and Mer (TAM) Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Liver Ischemia/reperfusion Injury
J. Zhang¹, H. Zhang¹, M. Ni², R. Busuttil¹, J. Kupiec-Weglinski¹, Y. Zhai¹
¹Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles, CA, ²Liver Suyrgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China
*Purpose: Although the inflammatory response in liver ischemia reperfusion injury has been studied extensively, how the context of tissue injury (presence of necrotic/apoptotic cells) regulates…

Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (syk): A Novel Regulator of Neutrophil Infiltration in Hepatic Iri
V. Boominathan, A. Kobayashi, S. Duarte, A. Zarrinpar
Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
*Purpose: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) plays a governing role in orthotopic liver transplantation, significantly impairing early graft function and increasing organ susceptibility to rejection. Neutrophil…

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta Regulates Liver Inflammation Activation and Resolution by Controlling AMPK Activities
H. Wang,^1,2 M. Ni,^1,2 H. Zhou,² L. Lu,² R. Busuttil,¹ J. Kupiec-Weglinski,¹ Y. Zhai.¹
¹Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine-UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; ²Liver Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Background & Aims: Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3β) is ubiquitously expressed with distinctive functions in different types of cells. Although its roles in regulating innate…

Lymph Node Stromal Laminins Modulate the Dynamic Balance of the Treg/Th17 Axis
L. Li, T. Simon, W. Piao, Y. Xiong, V. Saxena, T. Zhang, C. Wagner, J. Bromberg.
University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Tolerance and immunity are associated with differential expression of lymph node (LN) stromal laminins α4β1γ1 (411) and α5β1γ1 (511), respectively, which determine how alloreactive…
