Organ transplantation and the liver tolerance effect: history, mechanisms, and potential implications for the future of transplant careKim, Andrew 13 July 2017 (has links)
Chronic immune insult and immunosuppressant-related toxicities have remained an enduring challenge in organ transplantation. Long-term survival of transplant patients has improved marginally in recent decades due to these challenges. To circumvent these issues, transplant investigators have researched immune tolerance mechanisms that demonstrate potential to induce immunosuppression and rejection-free survival in the clinic. One mechanism in particular, the liver tolerance effect, has already demonstrated this experimentally and clinically. Liver transplants in experimental models and human patients have exhibited the ability to become spontaneously accepted without being rejected by the recipient’s immune system. Research in recent decades has revealed that the liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cell populations harbor potent immunomodulatory properties. In the context of liver transplantation, it has been found that two cell populations in particular, the mesenchyme-derived liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells, mediate the induction of liver transplant tolerance through a mechanism known as mesenchyme-mediated immune control.

Pathophysiology of Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial CellsCheluvappa, Rajkumar January 2008 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy(PhD) / Owing to its strategic position in the liver sinusoid, pathologic and morphologic alterations of the Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell (LSEC) have far-reaching repercussions for the whole liver and systemic metabolism. LSECs are perforated with fenestrations, which are pores that facilitate the transfer of lipoproteins and macromolecules between blood and hepatocytes. Loss of LSEC porosity is termed defenestration, which can result from loss of fenestrations and/ or decreases in fenestration diameter. Gram negative bacterial endotoxin (Lipopolysaccharide, LPS) has marked effects on LSEC morphology, including induction LSEC defenestration. Sepsis is associated with hyperlipidemia, and proposed mechanisms include inhibition of tissue lipoprotein lipase and increased triglyceride production by the liver. The LSEC has an increasingly recognized role in hyperlipidemia. Conditions associated with reduced numbers of fenestrations such as ageing and bacterial infections are associated with impaired lipoprotein and chylomicron remnant uptake by the liver and consequent hyperlipidemia. Given the role of the LSEC in liver allograft rejection and hyperlipidemia, changes in the LSEC induced by LPS may have significant clinical implications. In this thesis, the following major hypotheses are explored: 1. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin pyocyanin induces defenestration of the LSEC both in vitro and in vivo 2. The effects of pyocyanin on the LSEC are mediated by oxidative stress 3. Defenestration induced by old age and poloxamer 407 causes intrahepatocytic hypoxia and upregulation of hypoxia-related responses 4. Defenestration of the LSEC seen in old age can be exacerbated by diabetes mellitus and prevented or ameliorated by caloric restriction commencing early in life
