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…2017 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Circulating TNFR2+ Regulatory T Cells Predict Acute Rejection within the First 6 Months After Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Acute rejection (AR) mostly occurs during the first 6 months after kidney transplantation and contributes importantly to graft loss. Diagnosis relies on changes in…2017 American Transplant Congress
TFR:TFH Cell Ratio Correlates with Anti-Donor Germinal Center Reactivity and Donor-Specific Antibody Formation Following Transplantation.
Emory Transplant Center, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. Although short-term outcomes are excellent, long-term allograft survival rates remain inadequate. It…2017 American Transplant Congress
Differential Expression of Long Noncoding RNAs During Cardiac Allograft Rejection.
While transplant rejection is the major restriction in successful long lasting graft survival, induction of sustainable immune tolerance against transplant is one of the major…2017 American Transplant Congress
IL-21R Antagonist Inhibits Differentiation of B Cells Towards Plasmablasts upon Alloantigen Stimulation.
Background: Antigen-specific antibody responses rely on IL-21+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells that regulate B cell differentiation. In transplantation, a large proportion of renal allograft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Activated Th1 and Th17 cTFH Phenotype Correlates with DSA Production in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
University of Pittsburgh, Starzl Transplantation Institute, Pittsburgh
Donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) represent an important biomarker for acute rejection and are a major cause of long-term graft failure after kidney transplantation (KTx). The…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Treg/Th17 Axis: A Dynamic Balance Regulated by Stromal Laminins.
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Background: Our recent work demonstrated that laminins α4β1γ1 and α5β1γ1, components of the lymph node (LN) stroma, are differentially regulated. Tolerance is associated with relatively…
