背景介绍
L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in mammalian cells.The L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established as a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains an immunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp. Additionally, the released degradation products of L-Trp have immunosuppressive functions. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenases (IDO1 & IDO2), two of the rate limiting enzymes in this pathway, are upregulated in many tumorsand provide cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion.
