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…2016 American Transplant Congress
Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) Attenuation of Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI): A Proposed Mechanism.
Introduction: EVNP has the potential to repair deceased donor renal IRI. We hypothesize that EVNP may attenuate renal IRI via alteration of lipid metabolism.Methods: Eight…2015 American Transplant Congress
ABCB1 Haplotypes, Sex, Calcineurin Inhibitors and Lipid Profiles Post-Renal Transplant
Purpose: Hyperlipidemia is common in renal transplant recipients (RTR) during calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) immunosuppression. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ABCB1 that modulates…
