kynurenine and Fungal Lung Diseases

kynurenine has been researched along with Fungal Lung Diseases in 1 studies

Kynurenine: A metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan metabolized via the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway.
kynurenine : A ketone that is alanine in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 2-aminobenzoyl group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Here we show that a superoxide-dependent step in tryptophan metabolism along the kynurenine pathway is blocked in CGD mice with lethal pulmonary aspergillosis, leading to unrestrained Vgamma1(+) gammadelta T-cell reactivity, dominant production of interleukin (IL)-17, defective regulatory T-cell activity and acute inflammatory lung injury."7.74Defective tryptophan catabolism underlies inflammation in mouse chronic granulomatous disease. ( Bistoni, F; D'Angelo, C; De Luca, A; Fallarino, F; Fioretti, MC; Grohmann, U; Montagnoli, C; Puccetti, P; Romani, L; Segal, BH; Vacca, C; Zelante, T, 2008)
