The Immunosuppressant Protosappanin A Diminished Recipient T Cell Migration into Allograft via Inhibition of IP-10 in Rat Heart Transplant
The immunosuppressant Protosappanin A (PrA), isolated from the medicinal herb, promotes cardiac allograft survival, diminishes inflammatory cell infiltration, and inhibits interferon γ-induced protein 10 kDa (IP-10) mRNA expression in rats cardiac grafts. Binding of the chemokine IP-10 to its cognate receptor, CXCR3, plays crucial roles in allograft immunity, especially by mediating the recruit...
متن کاملThe Immunosuppressant Protosappanin A Promotes Dendritic Cell-Mediated Expansion of Alloantigen-Specific Tregs and Prolongs Allograft Survival in Rats
Protosappanin A (PrA), an immunosuppressive ingredient of the medicinal herb Caesalpinia sappan L, prolongs heart allograft survival in rats, possibly by impairing the function of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We examined the effects of PrA on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs), a potent class of APCs, and the downstream cell-cell and intracellular signaling pathways mediat...
متن کاملSpecific recruitment of CD4+CD25++ regulatory T cells into the allograft in heart transplant recipients.
Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) migrate into allografts and induce tolerance of the graft. Immunosuppressive T(reg) are found among CD4+CD25++ T cells and specifically express the forkhead/winged transcription factor FOXP3. We hypothesized that activated T cells and T(reg) might modulate the ongoing inflammation of the cardiac allograft (CA) and that the chronic inflammatory environment might influ...
متن کاملUnusual manifestation of cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a renal transplant recipient
Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...
متن کاملCryptococcal cellulitis in a heart transplant recipient
CNS: central nervous system INTRODUCTION Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal infection most often caused by the encapsulated yeasts Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. C neoformans is the major pathogenic member of the genus, thought to account for approximately 80% of isolates worldwide, and is found in pigeon droppings, soil, and rotting vegetation. The incidence in the United S...
