LITERATURE
analysis
-
comprehensive panel of biochemical and cell-based assays that use liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry to quantify unlabeled kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine and application to measure kynurenine monooxygenase inhibition in cell and tissue extracts, as well as cellular assays
diagnostics
the upregulation of KMO currently serves as an independent prognostic biomarker to identify certain liver malignancies, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC patients who express increased KMO activity are known to have unfavorable clinical outcomes compared to those who do not. The upregulation of KMO also plays a critical role in triple-negative breast cancer progression and metastasis. The pharmacological inhibition of KMO with GSK180 granted therapeutic protection in acute pancreatitis rodent models preventing multiple organ failures
