physiological function
-
T helper 17 cells preferentially express kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. Enzyme inhibition, either with a specific inhibitor or via siRNA-mediated silencing, markedly increases IL-17 productionin vitro, whereas IFN-gamma production by T helper 1 cells is unaffected. Inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase significantly exacerbates disease in a Th17-driven model of autoimmune gastritis

KMO inhibitor UPF 648, totally blocks KMO at 0.1 and 0.01 mM and is still highly active at 0.001 mM (81% inhibition). It reduces 3-hydroxykynurenine synthesis by 64% without affecting kynurenic acid formation. In neuron-depleted striata, UPF 648 decreases both 3-hydroxykynurenine and quinolinic acid production by 77% and 66%, respectively and also raises kynurenic acid synthesis by 27%. 0.1 mM UPF 648 blocks KMO in both lesioned and contralateral striatum, but does not interfere with KAT activity in either tissue

T helper 17 cells preferentially express kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. Enzyme inhibition, either with a specific inhibitor or via siRNA-mediated silencing, markedly increases IL-17 productionin vitro, whereas IFN-gamma production by T helper 1 cells is unaffected. Inhibition of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase significantly exacerbates disease in a Th17-driven model of autoimmune gastritis
