Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Due to the lack donor pool, to detect graft rejection in earlier time points should be mandatory and also high accuracy is preferable. Therefore, we aimed to investigate to develop a new therapeutic system to detect it with using measurements of acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers such as NGAL and L-FABP In the current study. Additionally, we determined a new role of Dendritic cells as a therapeutic target in transplantation instead of T cell targeted therapy, which would allow us to lead to prolong graft survival in a safety manner. These work have been already reported in both several international congress (i.e. American Transplant Congress, E-ISFA) and papers (Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2019、Transplant Proc 2018, 2016、Artif Organs. 2017, 2017、Front Immunol. 2016、Transpl Int. 2016、Cytokine. 2016).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究課題はこれまでの治療対象であったT cell主体の治療に加え、抗原提示細胞の1つである樹状細胞への変遷を予期させる革新的な研究成果となった。移植臓器の提供が少ない環境下で、安全に移植医療を提供をし得たことは十分な成果であり、同時に新たな治療戦略の可能性を示唆させる結果に繋がったのは、今後の移植医療における更なる可能性を予測させるものある。
