HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) elicit alloimmune responses against the graft vasculature, leading to endothelial cell (EC) activation and monocyte infiltration during antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). AMR promotes chronic inflammation and remodeling, leading to thickening of the arterial intima termed transplant vasculopathy (TV) or cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in heart transplants. Intragraft-recipient macrophages serve as a diagnostic marker in AMR however, their polarization and function remain unclear.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents significant challenges to female health owing to the lack of therapeutic targets and its poor prognosis. In recent years, in the field of molecular pathology, there has been a growing focus on the role of intra-tumoral microbial communities and metabolic alterations in tumor cells. However, the precise mechanism through which microbiota and their metabolites influence TNBC remains unclear and warrants further investigation.

Article Synopsis
  • * Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation can lead to graft rejection and poor outcomes, with the protein diS-HMGB1 playing a key role in promoting inflammation and immune activation.
  • * Researchers found that elevated levels of diS-HMGB1 in liver transplant patients were linked to increased IRI, graft dysfunction, and the activation of pro-inflammatory macrophages that worsen transplant outcomes.
  • * The study suggests targeting the diS-HMGB1 interaction with receptors TLR4 and TLR9 as a potential therapeutic strategy to improve the outcomes for liver transplant recipients suffering from IRI.

Solid-organ transplant recipients exhibiting HLA donor-specific Abs are at risk for graft loss due to chronic Ab-mediated rejection. HLA Abs bind HLA molecules expressed on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs) and induce intracellular signaling pathways, including the activation of the transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP). In this study, we examined the impact of lipid-lowering drugs of the statin family on YAP localization, multisite phosphorylation, and transcriptional activity in human ECs.

Donor-specific HLA Abs contribute to Ab-mediated rejection (AMR) by binding to HLA molecules on endothelial cells (ECs) and triggering intracellular signaling, leading to EC activation and leukocyte recruitment. The molecular mechanisms involving donor-specific HLA Ab-mediated EC activation and leukocyte recruitment remain incompletely understood. In this study, we determined whether TLRs act as coreceptors for HLA class I (HLA I) in ECs.

In this study, we used a combination of chemical and biological pretreatment methods to extract cellulose from corn straw with a relative content of 92.40%. The adsorption performance and mechanism of the prepared porous carbon were investigated using synthetic dye malachite green (MG) and antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) as adsorption models.

Objective: DNA methylation played a vital role in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in the development of early diabetic retinopathy and its potential underlying mechanism.

Methods: Eight-week-old healthy Mongolian gerbils were used to establish type 1 diabetes using streptozotocin (STZ).

Ab cross-linking of HLA class I (HLA I) molecules on the surface of endothelial cells (EC) triggers proliferative and prosurvival intracellular signaling, which is implicated in the process of chronic allograft rejection, also known as transplant vasculopathy. Despite the importance of Ab-mediated rejection in transplantation, the mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. In this study, we examined the regulation of yes-associated protein (YAP) localization, phosphorylation, and transcriptional activity in human ECs challenged with Abs that bind HLA I.

Background And Aims: Sterile inflammation is a major clinical concern during ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) triggered by traumatic events, including stroke, myocardial infarction, and solid organ transplantation. Despite high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) clearly being involved in sterile inflammation, its role is controversial because of a paucity of patient-focused research.

Approach And Results: Here, we examined the role of HMGB1 oxidation states in human IRI following liver transplantation.

Transplant recipients developing donor-specific HLA class II (HLA-II) Abs are at higher risk for Ab-mediated rejection (AMR) and transplant vasculopathy. To understand how HLA-II Abs cause AMR and transplant vasculopathy, we determined the signaling events triggered in vascular endothelial cells (EC) following Ab ligation of HLA-II molecules. HLA-II expression in EC was induced by adenoviral vector expression of CIITA or by pretreatment with TNF-α/IFN-γ.

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) resulting in transplant allograft vasculopathy (TAV) is the major obstacle for long-term survival of solid organ transplants. AMR is caused by donor-specific antibodies to HLA, which contribute to TAV by initiating outside-in signaling transduction pathways that elicit monocyte recruitment to activated endothelium. Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors can attenuate TAV; therefore, we sought to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of mTOR signaling in HLA class I Ab-mediated endothelial cell activation and monocyte recruitment.

Rationale: The effectiveness of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cardiac repair has been limited; thus, strategies for optimizing stem-cell-based myocardial therapy are needed.

Objective: The present study was designed to test our central hypothesis that hypoxia-preconditioned MSCs (HP-MSCs) are more effective than MSCs cultured under ambient oxygen levels for the treatment of myocardial injury in a large-scale (N=49), long-term (9 months), nonhuman primate (Cynomolgous monkeys) investigation.

Methods And Results: MSCs were engineered to express green fluorescent protein, cultured under ambient oxygen or 0.

Purpose: To analyze the effect of a resolvin D1 (RvD1) analogue (RvD1a) on dendritic cell maturation, T-cell sensitization, and allograft rejection in corneal allotransplantation.

Methods: The receptor expression of RvD1 (ALX/FPR2) on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. We determined BMDC maturation after treatment with RvD1a using ELISA to measure interleukin (IL)-12 protein expression and flow cytometry to assess the expression of CD40, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II, CD80, and CD86.
