Background: Circulating exosomes isolated from lung transplant recipients (LTxRs) with acute or chronic rejection contains lung self-antigens (SAgs), K alpha 1 tubulin (Kα1T) and collagen…2018 American Transplant Congress
Most Pediatric Transplant Centers Are Underperforming and in Proximity to Higher Volume Centers
Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.
Purpose. Many research studies have shown that low case volume has been associated with worse survival outcomes in each type of pediatric solid organ transplant.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Disparate Risk Factors for Early and Late Death Impact Survival after Lung Transplant
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Purpose: After implementation of the lung allocation score, there has been improvement in one- and three-year survival but not in five-year survival after lung transplant…2017 American Transplant Congress
Abrogating MyD88 Signaling in Donor Lung Resident Hematopoietic Cells Promotes Cell Based Tolerance Induction in Lung Allografts in Mice.

Xenogeneic Lung Transplantation: Identifying Transgenes and Supportive Drug Treatments to Achieve Long-Term Survival.
1Surgery, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD; 2Revivicor, Inc., Blacksburg, VA
Purpose: Recent progress in genetic engineering has facilitated generation of pigs expressing various multi-transgene and knock-out combinations. Which transgenes and what targeted drug treatments are…2017 American Transplant Congress
TRPV4 Channels Mediate Pulmonary Edema and Inflammation During Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
Rationale: Lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury remains a major challenge in post-transplant patients. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) cation channels mediate cellular calcium influx, and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Coagulation Pathway Perturbations Associated with Pig-to-Baboon Lung Xenotransplantation.
Department of Surgery, University of Maryland, School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
Aim Dysregulation of coagulation is associated with graft failure in multiple xenotransplantation models. This study describes thromboelastographic profiles in baboon recipients of a genetically engineered…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Nonclassical Monocytes Produce MIP-2 to Recruit Recipient Neutrophils and Cause Ischemia Reperfusion Injury After Lung Transplant.
1Northwestern University, Chicago; 2Washington University, St Louis
Purpose: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD), the primary cause of early mortality after lung transplant, is mediated by neutrophils. However, neutrophil depletion may not be clinically…
