Recipient Monocytes Activated by Endobronchial Toll-Like Receptor 2 Agonist Prevent Tolerance Induction after Lung Transplantation
*Purpose: Extended criteria lung donors are being increasingly utilized, raising the possibility of transplanting lungs with a pre-existing pneumonia; how donor pneumonia alters alloimmune responses,…2019 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Method for Ex Vivo Treg Expansion via Human iNKT Cell Activation
*Purpose: Tregs play a critical role in immune tolerance. If Tregs can be administered to patients suffering from immune disorders, most therapies employing existing immunosuppressants…2019 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy of Photobiomodulatory Therapy Combined with Short-Term Immunosuppressants Prolonged Allograft Survival in a Rodent Hind-Limb Model
*Purpose: Photobiomodulation has been applied for accelerating the skeletal muscle repair process. Our formal study demonstrated vitamin D could be involved in allograft survival and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Dichotomous Role Of Donor T Cells In The Efficacy Of Tolerogenic Therapies For Transplant Rejection
Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Costimulation blockade-based regimens are a promising strategy to promote transplant tolerance. However, their efficacy is affected by multiple factors, many of which remain unknown.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Beta2-Adrenergic Receptor Activation Prolongs Survival of Vascularized Composite Tissue Allotransplants in a Murine Model
*Purpose: Transplantation of faces, hands, and limbs using vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has faced significant challenges hindering its routine implementation in the clinic. One critical…2019 American Transplant Congress
ZFYVE21 is a Novel Complement-Induced Rab5 Effector Protein Mediating Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
*Purpose: Complement promotes vascular inflammation in transplant organ rejection, a process leading to cardiac allograft vasculopathy. In this study, we identify a new Rab5 effector…2019 American Transplant Congress
High Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Lipocalins (NGAL) Levels in Kidney Perfusates as Predictor of a Better Renal Function
DIMES, S.Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna University, Bologna, Italy
*Purpose: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has recently emerged as a biomarker of different conditions, but the biological role remains unclear. We hypnotized that NGAL has…2019 American Transplant Congress
Senescent Cell Clearance with Senolytic Drugs Improves Cardiac Allograft Survival by Targeting mt-DNA Mediated Immune Responses
*Purpose: Older organs represent an underutilized potential. We dissected alloimmune responses when transplanting older organs and tested if the depletion of senescent cells in older…2019 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Donor-Specific IFN-γ ELISPOT as a Predictor of Allograft Rejection: A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis
*Purpose: Pre-transplant interferon-γ (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunospot (IFN- γ ELISPOT) has been proposed as a tool to quantify alloreactivity of memory T cells and estimate the…2019 American Transplant Congress
PD-1+CD3+CD4-CD8- (Double Negative T-cells) Are Early Responders during Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion Injury and Regulated by Non-Classical MHC Molecules
Johns Hopkins University and School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Unconventional T-cells (e.g. Tregs and γδT-cells) are increasingly recognized for their roles in maintaining homeostasis and protecting non-lymphoid tissues against injury/stress. Double negative (DN)…
