Hypothermic machine perfusion of the liver: is it more complex than for the kidney?
In this in vivo model, liver HMP with subsequent transplantation was feasible. However, we did not demonstrate an advantage of HMP, using perfusion conditions shown to be effective for the kidney, over SCS. Despite similar immediate graft function, TNF-α generation, and endothelial cell dysfunction were more pronounced after HMP.
IL-4 induces high expression of AMAC-1, a molecular marker of AAM, in the macrophages, and AAM can promote the growth of SKBR3 cells and tumor angiogenesis.
