The Inflammatory Response in the Context of Tissue Injury: Roles of Tyro3, Axl, and Mer (TAM) Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Liver Ischemia/reperfusion Injury
*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…2021 American Transplant Congress
Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (syk): A Novel Regulator of Neutrophil Infiltration in Hepatic Iri
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…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hematopoietic Cell Kinase (Hck) Regulates Effector and Regulatory T Cell (Treg) Function
Background: We found that upregulation of Hck mRNA expression, an Src family tyrosine kinase, in surveillance graft biopsies of kidney transplant patients associates with an…2018 American Transplant Congress
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta Regulates Liver Inflammation Activation and Resolution by Controlling AMPK Activities
Background & Aims: Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3β) is ubiquitously expressed with distinctive functions in different types of cells. Although its roles in regulating innate…2018 American Transplant Congress
Lymph Node Stromal Laminins Modulate the Dynamic Balance of the Treg/Th17 Axis
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…
