CMV-Infected Kidney Grafts Drive the Expansion of Blood-Born CMV-Specific T-Cells Restricted by Shared HLA Molecules Through Presentation on Donor's Cells.
Background. Cytomegalovirus specific immune response is crucial to control CMV infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), in whom recipient CMV can reactivated (R+) and donor…2017 American Transplant Congress
Glycolytic and Glutaminolytic Metabolism Supports IL-15 Induced Inflammatory Response of Temra CD8 from Kidney Transplant Recipients.
1CRTI UMR1064, INSERM, Nantes, France; 2CRCNA UMR892, INSERM, Nantes, France
Rational. We have recently shown that the accumulation of TEMRA CD8 in kidney transplant recipients (Tx) is associated with a higher risk of kidney dysfunction.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Role of Donor-Derived Tissue Resident Memory T cells in Modulating Alloimmunity.
Emory Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
Recipient-derived, graft-specific memory T cells play a critical role in mediating allograft rejection, particularly in the setting of immunosuppression with costimulation blockade. Recently, it is…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor Lymphoid Chimerism in Early Recognition and Prediction of Clinical Outcome Caused by Acute Graft versus Host Disease After Solid Organ Transplant.
Introduction: Acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) after solid organ transplant (SOT) is rare but related with high mortality. Early accurate diagnosis is critical for…2017 American Transplant Congress
Suppression of T Cell Proliferation by CpG-Activated B Cells Depends on Granzyme-B and Cell-Cell Contact, but Not on IL-10.
Background: Our previous studies document the potent capacity of regulatory B cells (Bregs) to mitigate allograft immunity. However, we have been largely unsuccessful in demonstrating…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Method for iNKT Cell-Mediated Ex Vivo Treg Expansion Applied to Induce Human Transplant Tolerance.
Background: Although regulatory T cells (Tregs) are beneficial for transplant-tolerance induction, decisive methods for their preferential expansion have not yet been established. In our series…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Role and Mechanism of CD40/CD40L Expression on Different T-Cell Subsets.
Background: Several T-cell costimulatory pathways (i.e. CD28:B7 and CD40:CD40L) play a critical role in modulating alloreactivity, but their function on distinct T cell subsets remains…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin (RPM) Synergizes with CD154 mAb and DST to Promote Long-Term Vascularized Composite Allograft (VCA) Survival, but Prevents Induction of Donor-Specific Tolerance.
Even though CD154 mAb (MR-1) plus donor splenocyte transfusion (DST) is very effective at inducing tolerance of various allografts, such as those of hearts, kidneys…2016 American Transplant Congress
Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Expression Increases in Skin Graft-infiltrating Th1 and Treg Cells.
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Hypothesis: The expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a transcription factor activated by a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands including the typtophan-metabolite kynuenine,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Hif-1α Stabilization in the Recipient Accelerates Cardiac Allograft Rejection.
Northwestern University, Chicago.
Introduction: Increased Hif-1α mRNA expression in deceased-donor organ transplant tissue prior to or soon after transplantation significantly correlated with primary graft dysfunction. HIF-1α is positioned…
