Prolonged immunosuppressive therapy in liver transplantation (LT) is associated with significant adverse effects, such as nephrotoxicity, metabolic complications, and heightened risk of infection or malignancy. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) represent a promising target for inducing immune tolerance in LT, with the potential to reduce or eliminate the need for life-long immunosuppression. This review summarizes current knowledge on the roles of Tregs in LT, highlighting their mechanisms and the impact of various immunosuppressive agents on Treg stability and function.

Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have been a cornerstone in solid organ transplantation for many years; however, their prolonged use is linked to significant adverse effects, most notably nephrotoxicity. Belatacept, a modified version of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 immunoglobulin with increased binding affinity for its ligand, has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional CNIs due to its lower toxicity profile. Despite these benefits, belatacept is associated with a higher rate of acute rejection, which presents a challenge for long-term graft survival.

Nephrotoxicity is a prominent complication of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that limits clinicians in its extensive use. MTX triggers oxidative burden and inflammation, so the nephroprotective potential of the synthetic derivative of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (5b) was explored in this research. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups i.

Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNIs), including tacrolimus and cyclosporine A, are the most widely used immunosuppressive drugs in solid organ transplantation. Those drugs play a pivotal role in preventing graft rejection and reducing autoimmunity. However, recent studies indicate that CNIs can disrupt the composition of gut microbiota or result in "gut dysbiosis".

Fluoride is an essential trace element for human. Adequate levels of fluoride are crucial for maintaining skeletal growth, but excessive fluoride exposure entering the body can cause renal damage, including damaged renal tubules and impaired renal function. However, the mechanism on fluoride-induced kidney injury remains unclear.
