Can IDO activity predict primary resistance to anti-PD-1 treatment in NSCLC?
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.

Increased indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase activity is associated with poor clinical outcome in adults hospitalized with influenza in the INSIGHT FLU003Plus study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mediated tryptophan (TRP) depletion has antimicrobial and immuno-regulatory effects. Increased kynurenine (KYN)-to-TRP (KT) ratios, reflecting increased IDO activity, have been associated with poorer ...

Abstract Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is the rate‐limiting enzyme in tryptophan metabolism that plays a central role in immune regulation across a range of diseases, including cancer. Beyond its enzymatic role, IDO1 has a non‐enzymatic function that remains poorly understood.

Hyperammonemia-induced toxicity for the developing central nervous system [PDF]
In pediatric patients, hyperammonemia can be caused by various acquired or inherited disorders such as urea cycle deficiencies or organic acidemias. The brain is much more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ammonium during development than in ...

Is quinolinic acid involved in etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia? [PDF]
Retroviruses have been proposed as one of the infectious agents involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. They can cause neuronal death by endogenous toxin(s), such as quinolinic acid (QUIN), released by virus‐activated brain macrophages/microglia. QUIN is an endogenous excitotoxin, with an affinity at specific NMDA‐R heteromers.

Multi‐Omic Analysis of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Primary Neuronal Cultures
Our study on rat neuron cells found 250 μM glutamate to be toxic, causing neuron death. We identified genes in pathways linked to apoptosis, neuron plasticity, and cell signaling, along with proteins regulating the cell cycle and tumor proliferation.

High Kynurenine (a Tryptophan Metabolite) Predicts Remission in Patients with Major Depression to Add-on Treatment with Celecoxib [PDF]
Background: Signs of an inflammatory process have been described in major depression. Methods: In a double-blind, randomized study of celecoxib or placebo add-on to reboxetine in 40 depressed patients, celecoxib treatment has beneficial effects. In order

Kynurenine pathway metabolite alterations in Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease
Abstract INTRODUCTION Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder that leads to intellectual disability and accelerated aging, increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The pathophysiology of AD and DS is multifactorial, involving amyloid precursor protein overexpression, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress.

In vivo evidence for NMDA receptor mediated excitotoxicity in a murine genetic model of Huntington Disease [PDF]
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated excitotoxicity is implicated as a proximate cause of neurodegeneration in Huntington Disease (HD). However, this hypothesis has not been tested rigorously in vivo. NMDAR NR2B-subunits are the predominant NR2
