Allograft Vasculopathy Versus Atherosclerosis Antibody and Complement in Transplant Vasculopathy Interferon- Axis in Graft Arteriosclerosis Vascular Remodeling in Transplant Vasculopathy Stem Cells and Transplant Arteriosclerosis Chemokines and Transplant Vasculopathy
Stem cells can differentiate into a variety of cells to replace dead cells or to repair damaged tissues. Recent evidence indicates that stem cells are involved in the pathogenesis of transplant arteriosclerosis, an alloimmune initiated vascular stenosis that often results in transplant organ failure. Although the pathogenesis of transplant arteriosclerosis is not yet fully understood, recent de...
متن کاملThe Wnt5a-Ror2 axis promotes the signaling circuit between interleukin-12 and interferon-γ in colitis
Wnt5a, which regulates various cellular functions in Wnt signaling, is involved in inflammatory responses, however the mechanism is not well understood. We examined the role of Wnt5a signaling in intestinal immunity using conditional knockout mice for Wnt5a and its receptor Ror2. Removing Wnt5a or Ror2 in adult mice suppressed dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. It also attenuated the...
متن کاملTadalafil attenuates graft arteriosclerosis of aortic transplant in a rat model
Objective(s): Tadalafil can restore endothelial function and treat atherosclerosis. However, the effect of tadalafil on transplant arteriosclerosis remains unclear. In this study, we explore the effects of tadalafil on allograft vasculopathy. Materials and Methods: Male Brow-Norway rats supplied aorta grafts for Male Lewis rats. All recipients were divided into 3 groups: saline as placebo (con...
متن کاملTh1 Adaptive Immune Responses in Cardiac Graft Arteriosclerosis
Heart transplants are not rejected in the absence of adaptive immune responses, eg, in transplantations between genetically identical donors and hosts or to recipients with severe combined immunodeficiencies. Activation of adaptive immunity to an allograft causes destructive responses against donor parenchymal or vascular cells, called acute rejection. In the presence of adequate immunosuppress...
متن کاملInterferon-γ: Promising therapeutic target in atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the vasculature and is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is currently the world's leading cause of death and the numbers are predicted to rise further because of a global increase in risk factors such as diabetes and obesity. Current therapies such as statins have had a major impact in reducing mortality from CVD. Howeve...
