Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Characterization of the Kynurenine Pathway in Human Neurons [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2007 The kynurenine pathway is a major route ofl-tryptophan catabolism producing neuroactive metabolites implicated in neurodegeneration and immune tolerance. We characterized the kynurenine pathway in human neurons and the human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cell line and found that the kynurenine pathway enzymes were variably expressed.

The kynurenine pathway in HIV, frailty and inflammaging
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Kynurenine (Kyn) is a circulating tryptophan (Trp) catabolite generated by enzymes including IDO1 that are induced by inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma. Kyn levels in circulation increase with age and Kyn is implicated in several age-related disorders including neurodegeneration, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia.

Inhibitors of the Kynurenine Pathway [PDF]
, 2017 A central role in the immune escape of tumors has been attributed to the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism, leading to the depletion of tryptophan and the production of different bioactive metabolites. The first and rate-limiting step in this pathway is catalyzed by the phylogenetically unrelated enzymes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1 ...

Kynurenine pathway in Parkinson's disease—An update
eNeurologicalSci, 2020 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex multi-factorial neurodegenerative disorder where various altered metabolic pathways contribute to the progression of the disease. Tryptophan (TRP) is a major precursor in kynurenine pathway (KP) and it has been discussed in various in vitro studies that the metabolites quinolinic acid (QUIN) causes neurotoxicity ...
