Modification of Macrophage Phenotype by the Magnetic Field
Objective. Macrophages play a crucial role in health, disease and chronic rejection of transplanted organs. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains unresolved issue in organ…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dendritic Cell Expression of Rictor (mTORC2), but Not Raptor (mTORC1), Protects Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
Background: Dendritic cells (DC) are critical initiators of innate immunity in the kidney and orchestrate inflammation subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The mechanistic target of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Targeting JAK-STAT Pathways with Tofacitinib Provides a Novel Approach for Conditioning in Allogeneic BMT Recipients.
Institute for Cellular Therapeutics, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY
Hematopoietic chimerism achieved by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) induces donor-specific tolerance to solid organ grafts. We previously demonstrated that by targeting recipient immune cells (T,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Improved Mouse Renal Transplantation Model Simulating Clinical Antibody Mediated Rejection.
Background: Acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is main barrier to long term renal graft survival. Mouse model is important to understand the mechenisms of AMR.…2017 American Transplant Congress
CTLA4-Ig Inhibits Effector CD8+ T Cell Function In Vivo and Rescues Ongoing Acute Allograft Rejection.
1Surgery, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL; 2Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
CLTA4-Ig is clinically approved for preventing rejection in kidney transplant recipients but current data suggest that it is less effective for memory T cells, and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dexamethasone Prolongs Cardiac Allograft Survival in a Murine Model Through Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells.
Recently, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have attracted considerable attention because of their cancer-promoting and immunosuppressive effects. The glucocorticoid (GC) dexamethasone (Dex) is an important immunosuppressive…2017 American Transplant Congress
Differential Suppressive Effects of Costimulatory Blockade (CD28/B7), Anti-IL6R, Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase and Janus Kinase Inhibition on De Novo vs. Recall Alloantibody Responses: Are Combined Drug Therapy Approaches Desirable?
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Purpose: Preformed and de novo donor specific antibodies (DSA) contribute significantly to demise of allograft functions. There is no approved therapies for prevention or treatment…2017 American Transplant Congress
TIM-4 Identifies Pro-Inflammatory B Effector Cells That Are Potent Drivers of Alloimmunity and Allograft Rejection Through Expression of Both IFN-γ and IL-17.
Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh
B cells can either augment or inhibit immune responses due to the presence both regulatory (Bregs) and effector (Beff) B cells expressing anti- or pro-…2017 American Transplant Congress
Short-Term Combination Treatment of FK506 and Anti-CD40 Ligand Remarkably Prolong Allograft Survival Time in Mouse Skin Transplantation.
Background: It is well established that skin are more prone than kidney to rejection after transplantation and is difficult to archive allograft acceptance following normal…2017 American Transplant Congress
Toll-Like Receptor 4-Dependent CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein Homologous Protein Activation Induces Hepatocellular Cell Death in Liver Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury.
Background: Critical role of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been found in ischemia and reperfusion(IR) injury models. However, the relationship between…
