Contamination of Acinar Cells Impairs Therapeutic Effect of Islet Transplantation Due to Induction of Inflammatory Reaction in Not Only Graft Islets but Also Hepatic Parenchyma
Regenerative Medicine and Transplantation, Fukuoka University, Fukuoka City, Japan
*Purpose: Islet transplantation is a promising treatment option for type 1 diabetes. Edmonton protocol recommended that over 30 % purity of islets is essential for…2020 American Transplant Congress
HMGB1 Antagonizes the Immunosuppressive Effect of MSCs in AKI
*Purpose: Kidney ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury and an unavoidable consequence of kidney transplantation and still lacks specific…2020 American Transplant Congress
Liver Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Express High Levels of DAP12, TREM2 and PD-L1 and Promote Effector T Cell Exhaustion and Augmented Treg Responses in Spontaneous Liver Transplant Tolerance
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: The precise mechanisms of liver transplant tolerance are yet to be elucidated. Non-conventional plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are thought to promote immune regulation, including…2020 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Hepatic Steatosis on Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Mice
*Purpose: Livers with mild to moderate steatosis have been used to expand the donor pool for transplantation. However, livers with steatosis have a propensity for…2020 American Transplant Congress
Orthogonal IL-2 Cytokine-Receptor Pair Capable of Selective Expansion of Regulatory T Cells Facilitates Alloengraftment
*Purpose: Adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been shown to improve alloengraftment in animal models. However, ex vivo Treg expansion for the purpose…2020 American Transplant Congress
Treatment Strategies to Suppress Donor Specific Antibodies: Highlights from a Decade of Research Experience in a Mouse Model of Allo-Sensitization
Cedars-Sinai Med Ctr, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Difficulty in desensitization in highly sensitized patients remain problematic in organ transplantation. For over 12 years, our laboratory has been carrying out an HLA…2020 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Allograft Survival via Donor MHC Chimerism Induced by Exosomes
*Purpose: Allogeneic transplant tolerance has been achieved by inducing mixed hematopoietic chimerism via donor bone marrow transplantation. Tolerance mechanisms in this model involve the presentation…2020 American Transplant Congress
Graft Perfusion with an Hsp90 Inhibitor Prolongs Graft Survival in Murine Heart Transplantation by Modulating Expression of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases and the Senolytic Effect
Department of Urology, Sapporo Medical University, Sapporo, Japan
*Purpose: We have previously demonstrated that administration of alvespimycin, a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor, prolongs the allograft survival in murine skin and heart…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Gut Microbiota Stimulates Dendritic Cells for Immune Modulation
University of Maryland, Baltimore, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: The gut microbiota is a driving force in host immune regulation, and thus a potential target for intervention and drug development. We previously showed…2020 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Cell Types That Harbor Cytomegalovirus DNA in Acutely and Latently Infected Mice Spleen
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous β‐herpesvirus that infects majority of humans. Primary CMV infection may be asymptomatic or manifests as a self‐limited febrile illness…
