Mashup Score: 8Immunomodulatory soluble HLA-G and HLA-E are associated with rapidly deteriorating CLAD and HCMV viremia after lung transplantation - 1 day(s) ago
Plasma-soluble (s)HLA-G and sHLA-E are immunoregulatory proteins that balance the activation of NKG2A+ immune cells. In lung-transplant recipients (LTRs), dysregulated NKG2A+ natural killer cell responses may result in high-level human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication as well as chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and especially the development of rapidly deteriorating CLAD is associated with high mortality. We thus analyzed the kinetics and function of sHLA-G and sHLA-E in follow-up samples of N = 76 LTRs to evaluate whether these immunoregulatory proteins are associated with the risk for CLAD and high-level HCMV replication.

We discovered a threshold for reduced BALF CCSP to discriminate future CLAD risk; supporting the utility of BALF CCSP as a tool for early posttransplant risk stratification. Additionally, our finding that low CCSP associates with future CLAD underscores a role for club cell injury in CLAD pathobiolo …

Mashup Score: 0Diagnostic performance of electronic nose technology in chronic lung allograft dysfunction - 2 year(s) ago
There is a need for reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). In this light, we investigated the diagnostic value of exhaled breath analysis using an electronic nose (eNose) for CLAD, CLAD phenotype, and CLAD stage in lung transplant recipients (LTR).

Long term outcomes of lung transplantation are impacted by the occurrence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Recent evidence suggests a role for the lung microbiome in the occurrence of CLAD, but the exact mechanisms are not well defined. We hypothesize that the lung microbiome inhibits epithelial autophagic clearance of pro-fibrotic proteins in an IL-33 dependent manner, thereby…

Mashup Score: 0Loss of stromal cell Thy-1 plays a critical role in lipopolysaccharide induced chronic lung allograft dysfunction - 2 year(s) ago
Long-term survival of lung transplants lags behind other solid organs due to early onset of a fibrotic form of chronic rejection known as chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Preventing CLAD is difficult as multiple immunologic and physiologic insults contribute to its development. Targeting fibroblast activation, which is the final common pathway leading to CLAD, offers the opportunity to…
