Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptors and CCR7 Sequentially Coordinate T Cell Migration
*Purpose: CCR7 plays critical roles in T cell migration to CCL21 across lymphatic endothelial cells from tissues to lymph nodes (LN). S1PR1 and S1PR4 are…2019 American Transplant Congress
S1PR1 and S1PR4 Regulate T Cell Migration into Afferent Lymphatics
*Purpose: T cells utilize S1PR1 to traffic from thymus into blood, and lymph nodes (LN) into efferent lymphatics. Whether T cell S1PR1 and S1PR4 regulate…2019 American Transplant Congress
Metabolic Profiling of Steatotic Human Livers during Ex-Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion
*Purpose: Nearly 40-60% of discarded livers are due to steatosis because of poor recovery from ischemia-reperfusion injury and compromised post-transplant function. We evaluated steatotic (ST)…2019 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Provider Adherence to Cardiovascular Disease Primary Prevention Guidelines in Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Blood pressure (BP) control, aspirin, and statin use are modifiable risk factors for primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), stroke, and heart failure…2017 American Transplant Congress
CD4 T Cell Migration Across Lymphatic Endothelium Is Enhanced by Sphingosine 1-Phosphate (S1P) and Differentially Regulated by S1P Receptors (S1PR).
1UMB, Baltimore; 2UM, Minneapolis
Introduction: S1PR1 drives T cells to migrate from thymus to blood, and from lymph node (LN) to efferent lymphatics. Whether S1PR1 or other S!PRs regulate…2017 American Transplant Congress
Evolution of Lipid Profile and Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Kidney Transplant Recipients Converted from Calcineurin Inhibitor to Everolimus: 24-Month Subanalysis from Elevate Study.
1ELEVATE Study Group, Berlin, Germany; 2Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland
PURPOSE: Posttransplant (post-Tx) lipid abnormalities may increase risk of cardiovascular (CV) events in kidney transplant recipients (KTxR). Previous analysis from ELEVATE (NCT01114529) study confirmed that…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lipid Catabolism Provides Alternative Energy Source and Compensates for Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Reperfused Rat Kidneys After Ischaemia.
Introduction: To reduce morbidity and mortality on the wait list for kidney transplantation, centres are required to use older and higher risk organs including unstable…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lipid Abnormalities and Cardiovascular Events After Early Conversion to Everolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Pretransplant Diabetes: 24-Month Analysis from Elevate Study.
1ELEVATE Study Group, Berlin, Germany; 2Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland
PURPOSE: Pretransplant (preTx) diabetes is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events, and posttransplant (post-Tx) hyperlipidemia further increases CV risk. To analyze the influence…2016 American Transplant Congress
CMV-Accelerated Cardiac Allograft Rejection Is Associated with Dysregulation of Sphingolipid Metabolomics.
PurposeCytomegalovirus (CMV) infection accelerates transplant vascular sclerosis (TVS) and chronic rejection (CR) in solid organ transplants. Sphingolipid metabolism plays an immunomodulatory role in transplant rejection,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Higher Pre-Transplant HDL Levels Are Associated with Decreased Acute Rejection Following Kidney Transplant.
Purpose: Dyslipidemia is a common comorbidity in patients on the transplant waitlist and post-transplant, and hyperlipidemia has been associated with more robust immune response, possibly…
