IFNγ-INDUCED KINURENINE PRODUCTION AND INDOLAMINE 2,3-DIOXYGENASE GENE EXPRESSION IN PSORIASIS
Медицинская иммунология, 2014 . An alternative pathway of L-tryptophan biotransformation is provided by the indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (INDO), and it results into synthesis of kynurenine and other «distal» metabolites, playing a pivotal role in immunoregulation and down-regulation of

Can IDO activity predict primary resistance to anti-PD-1 treatment in NSCLC? [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment paradigm of highly lethal malignancies like advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating long-term tumour control and extended patient survival. Unfortunately, only

A deep insight into the sialome of male and female aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2016 Only adult female mosquitoes feed on blood, while both genders take sugar meals. Accordingly, several compounds associated with blood feeding (i.e. vasodilators, anti-clotting, anti-platelets) are found only in female glands, while enzymes associated ...

PPARα contributes to protection against metabolic and inflammatory derangements associated with acute kidney injury in experimental sepsis [PDF]
, 2019 Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant problem in critically ill children and adults resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Fundamental mechanisms contributing to sepsis‐associated AKI are poorly understood.

Immunometabolic Network Interactions of the Kynurenine Pathway in Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma
Frontiers in Oncology, 2020 Dysregulation of the kynurenine pathway has been regarded as a mechanism of tumor immune escape by the enzymatic activity of indoleamine 2, 3 dioxygenase and kynurenine production. However, the immune-modulatory properties of other kynurenine metabolites

A link between central kynurenine metabolism and bone strength in rats with chronic kidney disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism represent one of the most complex complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serotonin, a monoamine synthesized from tryptophan, may play a potential role in bone metabolism.

Tryptophan: A Rheostat of Cancer Immune Escape Mediated by Immunosuppressive Enzymes IDO1 and TDO
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Blockade of the immunosuppressive tryptophan catabolism mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) holds enormous promise for sensitising cancer patients to immune checkpoint blockade.
