AP-1 and STAT-1 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides attenuate transplant vasculopathy in rat cardiac allografts.
AIMS Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) continues to be an unsolved clinical problem requiring the development of new therapeutic strategies. We have previously demonstrated that ex vivo donor allograft treatment with decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) targeting the transcription factors, activator protein-1 (AP-1) or signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT-1), delays acute re...
متن کاملNFκB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides reduce monocyte infiltration in renal allografts.
Monocyte influx secondary to ischemia-reperfusion conditions the renal allograft to rejection by presentation of antigens and production of cytokines. Monocyte influx depends on NFκB-dependent transcription of genes encoding adhesion molecules and chemokines. Here we demonstrate that cationic liposomes containing phosphorothioated oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) with the κB binding site serving as ...
متن کاملAssociation of thrombospondin-1 and cardiac allograft vasculopathy in human cardiac allografts.
BACKGROUND Despite the expression of angiogenic growth factors in transplanted hearts, neovessel formation appears scant. We therefore hypothesized that cardiac allografts contain endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis. In particular, we tested the involvement in cardiac allografts of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a matrix glycoprotein that inhibits angiogenesis and facilitates smooth muscle cell (S...
متن کاملRapamycin for Cardiac Transplant Rejection and Vasculopathy
Heart transplantation can now be routinely performed. Acute rejection has been significantly reduced, and the limitations to the use of this procedure include the availability of organs, chronic rejection, and a late reaction that is driven by a unique vasculopathy. Post-transplant vasculopathy (PTV) shares features with the lipoprotein-driven native atherosclerosis and proliferation-driven pos...
متن کاملCutting Balloon angioplasty for cardiac transplant vasculopathy.
We performed Cutting Balloon angioplasty on 20 lesions in 11 heart transplant recipients 7.5 +/- 3.8 years after transplantation. The mean percentage of diameter stenosis decreased from 88.3% +/- 13.8% to 19.6% +/- 13.7% after Cutting Balloon angioplasty without complication. Seven patients underwent follow-up angiography at 4.9 +/- 1.7 months in a total of 12 lesions, and all lesions showed re...
