背景介绍
L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in
mammalian cells and 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 and releasing
degradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Tryptophan 2,3
dioxygenase (TDO), is upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for
immune evasion.
