Targeting Calcium Release-Activated Calcium (CRAC) Channel in Non-Human Primate Kidney Transplantation
[Background] Long-term administration of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) successfully controls rejection of transplanted organs. However, the chronic use of these drugs causes organ damage often resulting…2018 American Transplant Congress
Activity Nanosensors for Early and Noninvasive Detection of Acute Organ Transplant Rejection
Purpose: We engineered activity nanosensors that sense anti-allograft T cell activity in vivo to noninvasively detect the onset of acute cellular rejection from urine.Methods: Granzyme…2018 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept-Refractory CD8+CD28–CD38hi Effector/Memory T Cells Are Targeted by mTOR Inhibition Leading to a Preferential Loss of CD40L
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) and corticosteroids (CSS) have substantial untoward side effects, most notably nephrotoxicity. Consequently, the FDA approved belatacept for maintenance immunosuppression. We recently completed…2018 American Transplant Congress
Recipient IFNAR1 Signaling Supports Costimulation Independent Rejection by Promoting T Cell Activation
Department of Surgery, Emory University, Atlanta, GA.
Costimulation blockade (CoB) is a promising strategy for more targeted/less toxic transplant immunosuppression which has led to the first improvement in long-term outcomes for transplant…2018 American Transplant Congress
Bone Marrow Derived Myeloid Suppressor Cell (BM-MDSCs) Prolongs the Graft Survival in Murine Heart Transplantation
Atopy(Allergy) Research Center, Juntento University, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: To investigate the impact of BM-MDSCs on murine heart transplantationMaterial and Methods:Bone marrow cells were harvested and cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Lymph Node Stromal Laminins Affect Graft Survival through Regulation of CD4 T Cell Proliferation and Migration
University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Our prior studies demonstrated that tolerance and immunity are associated with differential expression of lymph node (LN) stromal laminins α4β1γ1 (411) and α5β1γ1 (511),…2018 American Transplant Congress
OX40 Costimulation Prevents Induction of Foxp3+ Tregs through Upregulation of Novel Repressors of Foxp3 Gene Expression
Foxp3+ Tregs are essential for the induction of transplant tolerance and OX40 costimulation is known to break transplant tolerance. The exact mechanism of OX40 in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Host-Derived, Intragraft Dendritic Cells Are Extensively Cross-Dressed by Donor MHC.
Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsbugh, PA
Host dendritic cells (DC) are the primary driver of transplant rejection in secondary lymphoid tissues where they activate alloreactive T cells. Directly alloreactive T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
A New and Potent Distal Enhancer of the IL2 Gene.
Interleukin-2 is a potent T cell growth factor with crucial roles in both immunity and tolerance. Genetic studies in humans and mice demonstrate a role…2017 American Transplant Congress
Reduction of Recipient Cell Cross-Dressing with Donor MHC Molecules Prolongs Allograft Survival in Mice.
Cross-dressing of recipient cells with allogeneic MHC molecules carried by donor exosomes occurs regularly after transplantation. However, it is still unknown whether this phenomenon plays…
