In Vitro Generated Regulatory B Cells Induce Cd4+Cd25+Foxp3+Tregs from Cd4+Cd25–T Cells via TGF-β
*Purpose: Our team previous study showed that TLR-Bregs, stimulated through TLR pathway in vitro, harbored regulatory properties by suppressing CD4+ T cell proliferation and function…2020 American Transplant Congress
Hypothermia Attenuates Renal Fibrosis after Renal Ischemia Reperfusion in Mice
*Purpose: Recently, acute kidney injury is a important cause of chronic kidney injury, characterized by glomerular sclerosis and tubular fibrosis. Hypothermia attenuates the acute kidney…2020 American Transplant Congress
Hematopoietic Cell Kinase Promotes Kidney Fibrosis Through Autophagy Pathway
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
*Purpose: In our previous studies, we identified hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) as a key driver of renal fibrosis through TGFβ/Smad3 pathway. Here in this study,…2020 American Transplant Congress
TGF-b Induced Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Prevent Transplatation Rejection by Promoting Immune Tolerance
Department of Urology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
*Purpose: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a class of heterogeneous myeloid cells with immunosuppressive function. An effective method to produce MDSCs with better capacity and…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
Increased Frequency of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Contributing to Prolong Skin Allograft Survival in Aged Mice
General Surgery, Chang-gung Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan
*Purpose: Currently, aged people are increasing and more and more aged people have organ transplantation. The immunity in aged people is weaker than young people.…2018 American Transplant Congress
TGF-b Plus Rapamycin Induce Foxp3 and Promote iTreg Development and Suppressive Function, Leading to Long-Term Allograft Survival
Path & Lab Med, CHOP & UPenn, Philadelphia, PA.
Given the major roadblocks to development of Treg-based cell therapy, pharmacologic approaches to expand endogenous Tregs warrant attention, including approaches with more sustained effects than…2018 American Transplant Congress
Galangin Promotes Treg Development and Function
Introduction: FoxP3+ Treg cells are central in controlling immune responses and transplant tolerance. CD73 (ecto-5'-nucleotidase), which serves to convert AMP to adenosine, is essential for…2017 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Embolization History and Tumor Treatment Response on Plasma TGFβ in HCC Patients Listed for Liver Transplantation.
Purpose: TGFβ signaling is an integral pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis. In this study, we monitored TGFβ levels and imaging response in HCC patients…2017 American Transplant Congress
Nox4 and Oxidative Stress Mediate TGF-β1 Induced Human Kidney Proximal Cell Apoptosis in Ischemic Reperfusion Injury.
AimsIschemia/reperfusion injury, resulting from hypoxic damage within a graft, is the leading cause of cell death and graft rejection. In this study, we investigated whether…
