Differential Impact of Donor and Recipient Age on Post-Lung Transplantation Outcomes
*Purpose: Donor and recipient age at the time of lung transplantation (LTx) have been implicated in poor patient outcomes. The underlying mechanisms driving these effects…2019 American Transplant Congress
Novel Role of Qa-1-Restricted Immunoregulation in Murine Cardiac Transplantation
1Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, 2Dana-Farbar Caner Institute, Boston, MA
*Purpose: HLA-E is an MHC class-1b molecule that is under-studied in the transplant setting. Recent clinical studies have revealed a robust association between allograft outcome…2019 American Transplant Congress
Role of Innate Allorecognition Pathways in Mouse Renal Allograft Rejection
*Purpose: Allograft rejection is initiated by host immune system distinguishing between self and allogeneic non-self (allorecognition). Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor (PIR) and CD47 are molecules expressed…2019 American Transplant Congress
Promoting Mitochondrial Fusion Alters the Interaction between Endothelial Cells and T Cells in Models of Transplantation
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC
*Purpose: As semi-professional antigen-presenting cells, microvascular endothelial cells (mECs) play a central role in mediating allograft rejection. Cold storage and ischemia reperfusion injury increases mEC…2019 American Transplant Congress
In Vivo Treg Expansion under Costimulation Blockade Targets Early Rejection and Improves Long-Term Outcome
*Purpose: Early rejection episodes are a major problem under CTLA4Ig/belatacept-based immunosuppression. We have previously shown that CTLA4Ig therapy is dependent on Tregs at low (LD)…2019 American Transplant Congress
Development and Characterization of Human-Derived Xenograft Model for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
*Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rising in the USA and treatment options are limited. There is no convenient animal model for HCC to study novel…2019 American Transplant Congress
JAK Inhibitor as a Novel Conditioning Approach to Establish Mixed Chimerism and Prevent Type 1 Diabetes Nonmyeloablatively
*Purpose: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that results in the destruction of islet β cells. T1D has been found to be associated…2019 American Transplant Congress
The lncRNA-mRNA Co-Expression Analysis in Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury
*Purpose: Acetaminophen (APAP) could cause liver injury, or even acute liver failure, accounting for approximately one-half of all cases in developed countries. Once acute liver…2019 American Transplant Congress
Minimizing Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Transferring Exogenous Mitochondria
*Purpose: Ischemia induces altered bioenergetics with increased mitochondrial swelling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately degradation of cellular function. Ischemia followed by reperfusion (IRI)…2019 American Transplant Congress
Increasing Expression of B-cell Maturation Antigen during the Development of Recall Antibody Responses: A Prospective Pharmaceutical Target for B-cell Suppression?
Cedars-Sinai Med Ctr, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Our previous study found that B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is increasingly expressed by B/plasma cells during the development of de novo alloantibody responses.…
