The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation is the focus in a variety of research fields and several of the metabolites produced along the pathway are suggested as future biomarkers. Growing interest in a better understanding of the physiological and the pathophysiological importance of kynurenine pathway metabolites is followed by the need for a robust, sensitive method that can quantify multiple metabolites simultaneously. In the present thesis, the first aim was to develop and validate robust and sensitive methods for the analysis of kynurenine pathway metabolites in body and brain. Our method thus allows for simultaneous quantification of low concentrations of tryptophan, kynurenine, kynurenic acid (KYNA), 3- hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), xanthurenic acid (XA), 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HANA), quinolinic acid (QUIN), picolinic acid (PIC), nicotinic acid (NA) and nicotinamide (NAA) in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. In addition, our new method clearly separates the peaks of ...

In the present study, we investigated the peripheral concentration of cytokines and kynurenine metabolites in unipolar patients diagnosed with an ongoing severe major depressive episode. Our data, showing increased plasma levels of IL-6, decreased KYNA levels, and an increased QUIN/KYNA ratio in these patients, supports the view of an ongoing low-grade inflammation [42] and an imbalanced kynurenine pathway [30-33] in MDD. The finding that the QUIN/KYNA ratio was increased in patients supports the hypothesis of a netstimulation of NMDA receptors in depression [30-33]. The observation of low plasma KYNA was confirmed in a second, age- and gender-matched, healthy control cohort. Furthermore, we found that treatment with ECT induced major changes in peripheral kynurenine metabolites in patients with MDD. Thus, plasma levels of tryptophan, kynurenine, and QUIN significantly decreased after a series of three ECT administrations whereas plasma levels of KYNA did not change. Interestingly, following ...
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) plays a key role in immune homeostasis via depletion of tryptophan and accumulation of kynurenines and is recognized as an important factor contributing to suppression of antitumor immune responses. However, the possibility of harnessing the IDO pathway for the therapy of autoimmune disease represents an intriguing possibility, and in this review, we highlight recent research on the involvement of IDO in immune-mediated infl ammatory diseases, with a focus on rheumatoid arthritis. Inhibition of IDO was shown to exacerbate experimental arthritis and increase numbers of pathogenic Th1 and Th17 cells in the joints and draining lymph nodes. Analysis of the kinetics of expression of kynurenine pathway enzymes in animal models also pointed to a potential role for tryptophan metabolites in disease resolution and administration of L -kynurenine or [3,4-dimethoxycinnamonyl]-anthranilic acid (a synthetic derivative of 3

Medical Study: Microorganisms, Tryptophan Metabolism, and Kynurenine Pathway: A Complex Interconnected Loop Influencing Human Health Status
There is emerging evidence to suggest that disturbances in the kynurenine pathway may be related to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Several post-mortem studies have documented specific abnormalities in the kynurenine pathway, including increased levels of kynurenine and kynurenic acid (KYNA) in the prefrontal cortex of people with schizophrenia (1-4). Increased levels of kynurenine and KYNA have also been observed in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of people with this illness (5). In addition, post-mortem studies have documented changes in key enzymes, including increased expression of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (2, 6) (TDO), which converts tryptophan to kynurenine, and reduced activity of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) (4), which may shift metabolism towards enhanced KYNA formation. Finally, a number of genetic studies have implicated the KYNA pathway in this disease. Wonodi et al. (7) found decreased KMO gene expression in the frontal eye field of people with schizophrenia, and Holtze ...

In this study, we also demonstrate that natural killer (NK)-cell function can be influenced by IDO. Indeed, L-kynurenine, a Trp-derived catabolite resulting from IDO activity, was found to prevent the cytokine-mediated up-regulation of the expression and function of specific triggering receptors responsible for the induction of NK-cell-mediated killing. The effect of L-kynurenine appears to be restricted to NKp46 and NKG2D, while it does not ...

Breakdown of tryptophan to kynurenine by the enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibits T cell responses and promotes immune tolerance. Tryptophan degradation by IDO in tumor cells is associated with immune evasion and increased tumor growth (see commentary by Prendergast). Thus, better understanding of how tryptophan catabolism affects immune responses might help to develop anticancer therapies. Opitz et al. found that cultured human glioma cell lines and glioma-initiating cells degraded tryptophan and produced large quantities of kynurenine. Knockdown of IDO isoforms in these cells had no effect on tryptophan metabolism; rather, knockdown of another tryptophan-degrading enzyme, TDO, blocked production of kynurenine. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the abundance of TDO correlated with malignancy in human brain tumors. The amount of kynurenine produced by glioma cells correlated with inhibition of the proliferation of cocultured T cells. Knockdown of TDO in glioma cells restored ...
Kynurenine is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan used in the production of niacin. L-kynurenine is a central compound of the pathway of tryptophan metabolism pathway since it can change to the neuroprotective agent kynurenic acid or to the neurotoxic agent quinolinic acid. The break-up of these endogenous compounds balance can be observable in many disorders. It can occur in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinsons disease, Huntingtons and Alzheimers disease, in stroke, in epilepsy, in multiple sclerosis, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and in mental failures, such as schizophrenia and depression ...

Depression was initially thought to be caused by a lack of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. It has since been shown that there are many pathways that are dysregulated, all of which may contribute to different aspects of depression. Growth factors, hormones, and dysregulated metabolism have all been shown to contribute to depression. Many of the symptoms of depression and sickness behaviours are similar such as weakness, fatigue, and the inability to concentrate. This prompted scientists to investigate the role inflammation has on depression. The kynurenine pathway links peripheral inflammation and the central nervous system. When this pathway is activated it converts tryptophan into kynurenine. This reduces the amount of tryptophan available for serotonin generation. Once activated the kynurenine pathway will produce oxygen free radicals and highly potent neurotoxins both of which are likely to contribute to depression. This metabolic pathway produces many molecules ...
A key link between amino acid catabolism and immune regulation in cancer is the augmented tryptophan (Trp) catabolism through the kynurenine pathway (KP), a metabolic route induced by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and related to poor prognosis in melanomas. Besides its role in cancer, IFN-γ plays a key role in the control of pigmentation homeostasis. Here we measured KP metabolites in human melanoma lines and skin melanocytes and fibroblasts in response to IFN-γ. In general, IFN-γ affected KP in skin cells more than in melanoma cells, supporting IFN-γ roles in skin physiology and that of stromal cells in modulating the tumor microenvironment. ...

Light blue fluorescent globules accumulate in the cells of the anterior region of the fatbody of Drosophila larvae near the time of pupation. This fluorescent material appears in the Ore-R wild type strain as well as mutant strains in which the synthesis of both the red and brown eye pigments is affected. The vermilion mutant, which is characterized by the absence of the brown pigment component in the eye, was the only strain among those examined which did not develop the light blue fluorescent globules. Utilizing chromatographic techniques together with the information gained by examination of the mutant strains, the fluorescent material has been identified as kynurenine. Of particular interest is the manner of appearance of the fluorescent material in the vicinity of the nuclear membrane of the fat cells. ...
Our results provide confirmation that synthetic XAG has indeed diuretic/natriuretic properties in normal rats. Moreover, our findings suggest that these effects are not mediated by renal hemodynamic changes, but probably are due to a direct tubular action of the compound. Finally, the results demonstrate that the natriuretic/diuretic and kaluretic effects of XAG care completely abolished by pretreatment with amiloride or in the presence of chronic NO blockade. These findings indicate that an intact amiloride‐sensitive sodium channel is required for the renal actions of the substance to become manifest, and may suggest that its natriuretic action is mediated in part by a NO‐mediated mechanism. Thus, XAG may act in vivo on more than one pathway on different sites along the nephron to promote physiologic diuresis and natriuresis..

So the scientists looked for which processes were being most notably intensified in their PGC-1alpha1-rich mice. They found one in particular, involving a substance called kynurenine that accumulates in human and animal bloodstreams after stress. Kynurenine can pass the blood-brain barrier and, in animal studies, has been shown to cause damaging inflammation in the brain, leading, it is thought, to depression. But in the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha1, the kynurenine produced by stress was set upon almost immediately by another protein expressed in response to signals from the PGC-1alpha1. This protein changed the kynurenine, breaking it into its component parts, which, interestingly, could not pass the blood-brain barrier. In effect, the extra PGC-1alpha1 had called up guards that defused the threat to the animals brains and mood from frequent stress. Finally, to ensure that these findings are relevant to people, the researchers had a group of adult volunteers complete three weeks of ...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an heme-containing enzyme involved in the regulation of important immunological responses and neurological processes. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of the pyrrole ring of the indole nucleus of tryptophan (Trp) to yield N-formylkynurenine, that is the initial and rate limiting step of the kynurenine pathway. Some indole derivatives have been reported to act as effectors of the enzyme by enhancing its catalytic activity. On the basis of the recent availability of the crystal structure of IDO, in this work we investigate substrate recognition and enhancer binding to IDO using molecular docking experiments. In addition, conformational transitions of IDO in response to substrate and enhancer binding are studied using coarse graining simulations with the program FIRST. The results enable us to identify (i) the binding site of enhancer modulators; (ii) the motion of an electrostatic gate that regulates the access of the substrate to the catalytic site ...

Antibody-antibody interactions that occur at the site of antigen binding are the hallmark of \#8220;autophilic\#8221; binding activity. Homodimerizing antibodies are rarely observed in nature and are typified by the mouse anti-phosphorylcholine antibody (TEPC). Autophilic interactions effectively increase the avidity (strength of binding) of the antibody-antigen association that result in measureable kinetic changes. Herein we report a method for controlled-oxidative modification of an anti-CD20 therapeutic antibody that selectively converts kappa light chain tryptophan residues to n-formylkynurenine (NFK) and induces structural changes imparting autophilic properties (referred to as \#8220;Wox\#8221; = tryptophan oxidation). This Wox anti-CD20 antibody displays typical autophilic binding kinetics, such as increased Bmax and avidity, prolonged dissociation from target, as well as enhancement of effector function. Tryptophan conversion to NFK can be measured by fluorescent emission spectrometry. ...
What happens is the mothers immune cells attack the fetal brain tissue, resulting in brain damage or even miscarriage. This autoimmune response is prevented by a special type of immune cell called T regulatory (Treg) cells. Formation of Treg cells requires a molecule called kynurenine which is made from tryptophan. The problem is that tryptophan binds so strongly to the TPH enzyme that there is little or none available for the kynurenine pathway. Vitamin D slows the TPH enzyme leaving enough tryptophan for the production of Treg cells. Again, Vitamin D to the rescue ...

Within the last decade hyperpolarized [1‐13C] pyruvate chemical‐shift imaging has demonstrated impressive potential for metabolic MR imaging for a wide range of applications in oncology, cardiology, and neurology. In this work, a highly efficient pulse sequence is described for time‐resolved, multislice chemical shift imaging of the injected substrate and obtained downstream metabolites. Using spectral‐spatial excitation in combination with single‐shot spiral data acquisition, the overall encoding is evenly distributed between excitation and signal reception, allowing the encoding of one full two‐dimensional metabolite image per excitation. The signal‐to‐noise ratio can be flexibly adjusted and optimized using lower flip angles for the pyruvate substrate and larger ones for the downstream metabolites. Selectively adjusting the excitation of the down‐stream metabolites to 90° leads to a so‐called saturation‐recovery scheme with the detected signal content being determined ...

Rationale: Altered cardiac energetics is known to play an important role in the progression towards heart failure. A non-invasive method for imaging metabolic markers that could be used in longitudinal studies would be useful for understanding therapeutic approaches that target metabolism. Objective: To demonstrate the first hyperpolarized 13C metabolic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the human heart. Methods and Results: Four healthy subjects underwent conventional proton cardiac MRI followed by 13C imaging and spectroscopic acquisition immediately following intravenous administration of a 0.1 mmol/kg dose of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate. All subjects tolerated the procedure well with no adverse effects reported up to one month post-procedure. The [1-13C]pyruvate signal appeared within the chambers but not within the muscle. Imaging of the downstream metabolites showed 13C-bicarbonate signal mainly confined to the left ventricular myocardium whereas the [1-13C]lactate signal appeared both ...
