However, the therapy presents adverse effects, including depressive symptoms. As IFN-α can cause an alteration of the tryptophan metabolism and a consequent reduced synthesis of serotonin, we have designed a study aimed to investigate the effect of IFN-α therapy on the serum levels of tryptophan and on the development of depression in patients affected by the hepatitis C virus. Nine patients with HCV were enrolled while treated with IFN-α2a (3 MU thrice/week) plus ribavirin (15 mg/kg/day) for six months. All patients were evaluated by a hepatologist and received two self-administered scales [Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)]. Blood samples were collected before treatment and at one month and six months of therapy. Tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin were analysed by HPLC with a spectrofluorometric detector. In all cases, a significant decrease of serum tryptophan concentrations from baseline (17.60      0.64 mg/ml) with an increase of symptoms of depression was obtained, whereas 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin levels did not show any variation during the therapy from baseline values.

It is known that both 1-methyl-l-tryptophan (1-MT) and methylthiohydantoin-dl-tryptophan (MTH-trp) are tryptophan analogues, and are authentic inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of IDO. In this study, we examined the effects of both 1-MT and MTH-trp on the IFN-γ inducible IDO expression of CMT-93. As a result, the IFN-γ inducible IDO mRNA and the protein levels in CMT-93 were suppressed by 1-MT and MTH-trp, independently. Moreover, tryptophan (Trp), as a substrate of IDO, also suppressed IDO induction by IFN-γ at the transcriptional level.

In general, inflammatory conditions are associated with the activation of immune-competent cells in which activation of the kynurenine pathway occurs in parallel with the generation and release of cytokines and oxidative stress. We have therefore measured the levels of kynurenine pathway metabolites as well as peroxidation products and inflammatory markers such as neopterin, in patients with osteoporosis before and after two years of drug treatment. At diagnosis, patients showed much higher levels of anthranilic acid than control subjects, but less 3-hydroxy-anthranilic acid. There were also high levels of lipid peroxidation products. All these parameters normalised over two years of treatment, together with a significant improvement in bone density assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans.

These mechanisms may play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of neuroinflammatory diseases, especially multiple sclerosis. We used RT-PCR and HPLC to delineate KP enzyme expression and KP metabolite production. We characterized the KP in oligodendrocytes and showed that they lack IDO expression and are unable to catabolize tryptophan. However, the other enzymes in the pathway are present. These results indicate that human oligodendrocytes are more likely to produce neuroprotective KP metabolites such as KYNA and PIC rather than QUIN. However, because of the lack of IDO they are not able to down-regulate the immune response and as such may be more vulnerable to autoimmune phenomena.</div>","PeriodicalId":84918,"journal":{"name":"International congress series","volume":"1304 ","pages":"Pages 213-217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ics.2007.07.011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"110472749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
