27 Impact of immunosuppressive regimen on ex vivo expanded human regulatory T cells Cristiano Scottà, Giorgia Fanelli, Julie Hoong, Marco Romano, Mitalee Sukthankar, Giuliana Guggino, Henrieta Fazekasova, Ratnasothy Kulachelvy, Pablo Becker, Ben Afzali, Robert Lechler and Giovanna Lombardi Question: Can immunosuppressive drugs affect Treg viability,function and trafficking?

28 Immunesuppressive Drugs Tacrolimus Tacrolimus is used after allogeneic organ transplant to reduce the activity of the patient's immune system and lower the risk of organ rejection. Tacrolimus inhibits calcineurin and prevents the dephosphorylation of NF-AT. Thus it negatively affects both T-lymphocyte signal transduction and IL-2 transcription. Prednisolone Prednisolone irreversibly binds with glucocorticoid receptors. Its interaction with DNA modifies gene transcription. It induces synthesis of some proteins, and inhibit synthesis of others. Regulation of gene suppression leads to systemic suppression of inflammation and immune response. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) - MPA MMF reversibly inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) in purine biosynthesis which is necessary for the growth of T cells and B cells. It is extensively used in transplant medicine to suppress T and B cells from attacking donor s graft.
