Targeting Overexpressed IDO in Stromal Cells as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy in Multiple Myeloma
IDO expression in stromal cells was upregulated by MM cells via the JAK–STAT1–NF‐κB–IRF1 signaling pathway. JAK inhibitor abolished IDO and IRF1 upregulation. ABSTRACT Stromal cells are an essential component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in multiple myeloma (MM). Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO), an enzyme that metabolizes tryptophan (Trp) to
