Role of B Cell Intrinsic NLRP3 in the Development of Chronic Rejection
Endogenous DAMPs elicited during transplantation are recognized via TLR-MyD88 and NLRP3-inflammosome pathways that are expressed in APCs including B cells. Here, we asked whether B…2018 American Transplant Congress
Recipient Conditioning Results in IL-33 Support of Potent Th1 Alloimmune Responses after CD4+ T Cells Upregulate ST2 during Lymphopenia Induced Proliferation
Purpose: IL-33 is typically associated with support of Th2 and Treg responses. Yet, recipient conditioning before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) releases IL-33 to promote…2018 American Transplant Congress
CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein Homologous Protein Promotes Liver Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Beclin-1-Mediated Autophagy in Hepatocytes
Background and Aims:Critical role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been found in ischemia and reperfusion(IR) injury models. However, the role of CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein Homologous…2018 American Transplant Congress
TGR5-Mediated AMPK/mTOR Signaling Regulates Macrophage Migration and Polarization in Liver Ischemia Reperfusion
Background: Although the plasma membrane-bound G protein–coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) exerts protective roles in various inflammatory diseases, little is known about the effects and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Prolongation of Skin Allograft Survival through Dietary Supplementation of Ayrl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligands
Transplant Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) is a cytosolic transcription factor with numerous endogenous and xenobiotic ligands playing a key role in a number of cellular…2018 American Transplant Congress
IL23R is a Pathogenic Gene in Type 1 Regulatory T Cells during Mouse Cardiac Transplantation Models
IL23R has been confirmed to be a pathogenic gene in Th17 cells. However, its role in type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1 cells) is not…2017 American Transplant Congress
Estrogen Receptor Alpha Mediates Female Protection from Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Through Mechanisms Extrinsic to the Kidney.
Introduction: Female protection from renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is observed in both mouse and human renal transplantation. We wished to assess the role of estrogen…2017 American Transplant Congress
TIMP-3 Plays a Key Regulatory Role in the Cleavage of E-Cadherin and Has an Essential Protective Function in Hepatic IRI.
Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a challenging problem in clinical orthotopic liver transplantation. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3), an extracellular matrix-associated protein, has been linked…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dendritic Cell Expression of Rictor (mTORC2), but Not Raptor (mTORC1), Protects Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
Background: Dendritic cells (DC) are critical initiators of innate immunity in the kidney and orchestrate inflammation subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The mechanistic target of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Macrophage Specific Deletion of RhoA Inhibits Fractalkine Signaling and Abrogates Chronic Rejection of Cardiac Allograft.
Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital and Research Institute, Houston
Objective. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains unresolved issue in organ transplantation. The chronic rejection is the most common cause of graft loss within 10…
