Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to elucidate molecular mechanism of ischemia reperfusion injury after lung transplantation with donation after cardiac death donors and to reduce lung transplantation with donation after cardiac death donors by using mouse model. Endothelial cells of donor lung were destroyed during ischemia period, and the inhibition of endothelial dysfunction is thought to be important on the reduction of ischemia reperfusion injury. R-spondin 3 which has been reported to tighten of endothelial cell junctions reduced lung warm ischemia reperfusion injury. Tightening of endothelial cell junctions was considered to contribute on the inhibition of lung warm ischemia reperfusion injury.
