Inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity by tubular epithelial cell expression of Clr-b and Clr-f.

NK cells participate in ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and transplant rejection. Endogenous regulatory systems may exist to attenuate NK cell activation and cytotoxicity in IRI associated with kidney transplantation. A greater understanding of NK regulation will provide insights in transplant outcomes and could direct new therapeutic strategies.

An acidic pH environment converts necroptosis to apoptosis.

Cardiac ischemia results in anaerobic metabolism and lactic acid accumulation and with time, intracellular and extracellular acidosis. Ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury (IRI) lead to various forms of programmed cell death. Necroptosis is a major form of programmed necrosis that worsens cardiac function directly and also promotes inflammation by the release of cellular contents.

The CaMK Family Differentially Promotes Necroptosis and Mouse Cardiac Graft Injury and Rejection.

Organ transplantation is associated with various forms of programmed cell death which can accelerate transplant injury and rejection. Targeting cell death in donor organs may represent a novel strategy for preventing allograft injury. We have previously demonstrated that necroptosis plays a key role in promoting transplant injury.

The purpose of this study was to look into the relationship between ETS1 expression and immunity.

Disaggregation of Ploidy, Gender, and Genotype Effects on Wood and Fiber Traits in a Diploid and Triploid Hybrid Poplar Family.

Triploid breeding based on unilateral sexual polyploidization is an effective approach for genetic improvement of , which can integrate heterosis and ploidy vigor in an elite variety. However, the phenotypic divergence of unselected allotriploids with the same cross-combination remains poorly understood, and the contributions of ploidy, gender, and genotype effects on phenotypic variation are still unclear. In this study, wood and fiber traits, including basic density (BD), lignin content (LC), fiber length (FL), fiber width (FW), and fiber length/width (FL/W), were measured based on a 10-year-old clonal trial, including full-sib diploid and triploid hybrids of ( × 'Zheyin3#') × × , and contributions of ploidy, gender, and genotype effects on the variation of these traits, were disaggregated to enhance our understanding of triploid breeding.

However, the expression of genes participating in autophagy in LUAD and their associations with prognosis remain unclear.

Novel necroptosis-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a deadly digestive system tumor with a poor prognosis. Recently, necroptosis has been considered as a type of inflammatory programmed cell death. However, the expression of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) in PAAD and their associations with prognosis remain unclear.

Cyclophilin D Regulates the Nuclear Translocation of AIF, Cardiac Endothelial Cell Necroptosis and Murine Cardiac Transplant Injury.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable consequence of organ transplant procedure and associated with acute and chronic organ rejection in transplantation. IRI leads to various forms of programmed cell death, which worsens tissue damage and accelerates transplant rejection. We recently demonstrated that necroptosis participates in murine cardiac microvascular endothelial cell (MVEC) death and murine cardiac transplant rejection.

Comparative efficacy and dysmenorrhea score of 6 object-separated moxibustions for the treatment of Chinese patients with dysmenorrhea: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD), one of the most common diseases in women, is known to be effective with object-separated moxibustion. However, because there is no large sample size for comparison, it is difficult to choose the best method for the clinical treatment of these different treatments. Therefore, our aim was to compare and rank different moxibustion methods to determine the most effective treatment method for PD.

Toll-like receptor 3 is an endogenous sensor of cell death and a potential target for induction of long-term cardiac transplant survival.

Inflammation posttransplant is directly linked to cell death programs including apoptosis and necrosis. Cell death leads to the release of cellular contents which can promote inflammation. Targeting of these pathways should be an effective strategy to prevent transplant rejection.

Mitochondrial permeability regulates cardiac endothelial cell necroptosis and cardiac allograft rejection.

Transplantation is invariably associated with programmed cell death including apoptosis and necrosis, resulting in delayed graft function and organ rejection. We have demonstrated the contribution of necroptosis to mouse microvascular endothelial cell (MVEC) death and transplant rejection. Organ injury results in the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTPs), which can trigger apoptotic molecules release that ultimately results in cell death.

Necroptosis Is Involved in CD4+ T Cell-Mediated Microvascular Endothelial Cell Death and Chronic Cardiac Allograft Rejection.

Background: Despite advances in immunosuppressive therapies, the rate of chronic transplant loss remains substantial. Organ injury involves various forms of cell death including apoptosis and necrosis. We now recognize that early injury of cardiac transplants involves a newly described form of programmed necrotic cell death, termed necroptosis.

Intracellular pH Regulates TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis and Necroptosis in Endothelial Cells.

During ischemia or inflammation of organs, intracellular pH can decrease if acid production exceeds buffering capacity. Thus, the microenvironment can expose parenchymal cells to a reduced extracellular pH which can alter pH-dependent intracellular functions. We have previously shown that while silencing caspase-8 in an ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model results in improved organ function and survival, removal of caspase-8 function in a donor organ can paradoxically result in enhanced receptor-interacting protein kinase 1/3- (RIPK1/3-) regulated necroptosis and accelerated graft loss following transplantation.

Natural Killer Cells Mediate Long-term Kidney Allograft Injury.

Background: Chronic allograft injury remains the leading cause of late kidney graft loss despite improvements in immunosuppressive drugs and a reduction in acute T cell-mediated rejection. We have recently demonstrated that natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic to tubular epithelial cells and contribute to acute kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury. The role of NK cells in kidney allograft rejection has not been studied.

Natural killer cells play a critical role in cardiac allograft vasculopathy in an interleukin-6--dependent manner.

Background: Approximately 50% of cardiac transplants fail in the long term, and currently, there are no specific treatments to prevent chronic rejection. In the clinic, donor cardiac graft ischemia time is limited to within a few hours and correlates with delayed graft function and organ failure. It is still unknown how ischemic injury negatively influences allograft function over the long term despite advances in immunosuppression therapy.

Serine protease inhibitor-6 inhibits granzyme B-mediated injury of renal tubular cells and promotes renal allograft survival.

Background: Protease inhibitor 9 (PI-9) is an intracellular serpin that specifically inhibits granzyme B, a cytotoxic serine protease found in the cytosolic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Enhanced cortical expression of PI-9 has been observed in kidney allografts with subclinical rejection, suggesting that the tubular epithelial cell (TEC) expression of this protein may have a protective role and attenuate overt allograft rejection.

Methods And Results: We demonstrate that TEC express SPI-6 protein, the murine homolog of PI-9, basally with a modest increase after cytokine exposure.
