Hsp70 Inhibitor Could Induce Transplant Tolerance through mTORC2/Akt Pathway
Hsp70, a highly conserved protein, has been shown to induce strong immune responses and to reduce inflammation. However, its mechanism is not clear, especially in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Defining T Cell Subsets Involved in Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts
BackgroundVascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA) is a clinically feasible therapeutic option for complex tissue defects. The highly immunogenic skin component of VCA represents a therapeutic challenge…2018 American Transplant Congress
Peripheral but Not Follicular T Helper Cells Are Activated by Allogeneic Human Endothelial Cells under IRI-Like Conditions and Promote Donor Specific Antibody
Background: Perioperative ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a consequence of solid organ allograft transplantation that primes the graft for future rejection.Methods: We developed an in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Dendritic Cell Subsets on Enhancing Oral Tolerance in Cardiac Transplantation Model
Oral tolerance has been implicated in the protection of transplant rejection in the animal models. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) are responsible for sampling their environment…2018 American Transplant Congress
Shikonin Inhibits Th17 Development through Repressing STAT3 Activation
Background: Th17-mediated inflammatory responses are detrimental for allograft acceptance and long-term survival after transplantation. Shikonin is a naphthoquinone pigment isolated from a traditional medicinal herb…2018 American Transplant Congress
Circulating T Follicular Helper Cells Expand Following Transplantation and Exhibit a CD44hi Phenotype That Correlates with Peak Germinal Center Alloreactivity
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta.
It is increasingly well-recognized that donor-specific antibodies (DSA) play a significant role in the development of chronic rejection and fibrosis that contribute to late renal…2018 American Transplant Congress
IL-17 is Critical for Airway Epithelial Injury after Transplantation
Background: Obliterative bronchiolitis is the major obstacle limiting long-term allograft survival of lung transplantation. Airway epithelium is the primary target in obliterative airway diseases. Th17…2018 American Transplant Congress
IL-21 Regulates Creation of Tertiary Lymphoid Organs in Chronic Allograft Rejection
Background: IL-21 is a cytokine expressed almost exclusively by cells of the adaptive immune system, making it an attractive target for reducing chronic allograft rejection…2018 American Transplant Congress
IL-6 Inhibition with Tocilizumab to Promote Tregs and Control Renal Graft Inflammation: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: IL-6, a proinflammatory cytokine & key regulator of Treg/Th17, is strongly associated with renal graft rejection. In theory, IL-6 blockade with tocilizumab (TCZ), a…2018 American Transplant Congress
Engineering Regulatory T Cells with Interleukin (IL-)2 Nanogel for Improved Alloimmune Suppression
Clinical trials of adoptively transferred regulatory T cells (TRegs) have been hindered by the short lifespan of these transferred TRegs. Systemic injection of low-dose interleukin…
