Lymphotoxin Signaling Regulates T Cell Lymphatic Trafficking
*Purpose: Lymphotoxin (LT) α1β2 is crucial for lymphatic organ development and orchestration of immune responses. LTα1β2 is preferentially expressed by regulatory T cells (Treg) for…2019 American Transplant Congress
Analysis of Islet Exosomal miRNAs Released Post-Transplant in Response to Inflammation
*Purpose: Islets release miRNAs and other non-coding RNAs via exosomes under various pathological conditions, which are capable of regulating the genes of neighboring and/or distant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Significance and Therapeutic Potential of Orosomucoid 1 for Chronic Active Antibody Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients
［Background］We reported a molecular mechanism to develop chronic inflammation (CI), called the inflammation amplifier (IA). IA is activated by concomitant activation of NFkB and STAT3…2018 American Transplant Congress
Targeting LTβR Classical NFκB Signaling Facilitates Inflammation Resolution
Background:Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a reliable model to assess the immune cell-mediated cutaneous inflammatory response, which includes the three phases of priming/sensitization, elicitation, and resolution,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Targeting Lymphotoxin Signaling in Lymphatics Regulates Immune Sensitization, Elicitation, and Resolution
Background:Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a T cell-mediated cutaneous inflammatory response which includes three phases of priming/sensitization, elicitation, and resolution,mirroring many aspects of allogeneic responses. The…2018 American Transplant Congress
Treg Regulate Distinct Lymphatic NFκB Signaling Pathways to Alter Migration and Immunity
Background: Treg migration to the graft and draining lymph nodes is crucial for graft survival. Little is known about the molecular cues that regulate the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Exosomal Isletokines Released by Pancreatic Islets in Response to Inflammatory Stress
Purpose: To identify isletokines released by exosomes from human islets that have been exposed to hypoxic or inflammatory conditions and define stress signaling pathways that…2017 American Transplant Congress
Regulation of T Cell Migration by Specifically Targeting Lymphotoxin β Receptor (LTβR)-Mediated Non-Canonical NFkB Signaling.
Background:Selective recruitment of regulatory T cells (Treg) to draining lymph nodes is crucial for graft survival, and LTαβ-LTβR signaling is required to direct Treg into…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lymphotoxin (LT) β Receptor-Mediated Non-Classical NFκB Signaling in Lymphatic Endothelial Eells (LEC) is Required for Homeostatic T Cell Migration.
Background: The selective recruitment of regulatory T cells (Treg) or blockade of memory/effector T cell migration to the graft and draining lymph nodes (dLN) are…2017 American Transplant Congress
Suppression of Inflammation by Withaferin A in Cerulein-Induced Pancreatitis Model Results in Improved Syngeneic Islet Engraftment.
Introduction: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by inflammatory damage to acinar cells followed by islets. In clinical islet autotransplantation, patients with advanced stages of CP…
