The 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 کاملLFA-1-specific therapy prolongs allograft survival in rhesus macaques.
Outcomes in transplantation have been limited by suboptimal long-term graft survival and toxicities associated with current immunosuppressive approaches. T cell costimulation blockade has shown promise as an alternative strategy to avoid the side effects of conventional immunosuppressive therapies, but targeting CD28-mediated costimulation alone has proven insufficient to prevent graft rejectio...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملTriptolide inhibits CD4+ memory T cell-mediated acute rejection and prolongs cardiac allograft survival in mice
There have been numerous investigations into the immunosuppressive effects of triptolide; however, its inhibitory effects on memory T cells remain to be elucidated. Using a cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ memory T-cell transfer model, the aim of the present study was to determine the inhibitory effects of triptolide on CD4+ memory T cell-mediated acute rejection and to determine the potential...
متن کاملDeficiency of C5aR prolongs renal allograft survival.
Interaction between C5a, a product of complement activation, and its receptor (C5aR) upregulates antigen-specific T cell responses by modulating the activation of antigen-presenting cells and T cells. Whether this C5a-C5aR interaction contributes to the immune responses that promote renal allograft rejection is unknown. Here, we found that deficiency of C5aR in both graft and recipient reduced ...
