Modern immunosuppressive agents such as tacrolimus and rapamycin are claimed to be associated with a reduction in vascular narrowing, a central feature of chronic rejection. This study assesses the effect of cyclosporine, tacrolimus and rapamycin on

BACKGROUND Overexposure to cyclosporine is a risk factor for chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) and dose reduction has been advocated. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of adding the non-nephrotoxic immunosuppressant, rapamycin,

BackgroundChronic allograft dysfunction (CAD), the leading cause of solid organ transplant failure, is characterized by histological evidence of extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation (fibrosis). The aim of this study was to characterize the changes

Background Cyclosporin is associated with significant chronic nephrotoxicity, manifest in the long term mainly as renal fibrosis. There have been claims that tacrolimus is a less fibrotic drug than cyclosporin, and this study was designed to determin

Remodelling of the extracellular matrix requires tight control not only of matrix synthesis, but also of matrix degradation. Control of matrix degradation is achieved mainly through the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes. In the glomerulus, MMP-2

Background Experimental evidence suggests that transforming growth factor (TGF) β1 is a fibrogenic cytokine. The histopathological changes of chronic renal allograft nephropathy are dominated by fibrotic changes and TGF-β may have an important aeti

Background Acute allograft rejection is thought to be a risk factor for chronic allograft nephropathy, the cardinal features of which are vasculopathy, interstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. Fibrosis-associated genes might act as ad interim su

Background: Rapamycin inhibits extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation (fibrosis) and vascular remodeling in experimental models of chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) by poorly understood mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of

Background Chronic renal allograft nephropathy is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the glomeruli and tubulo-interstitium. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between intragraft expressi
