Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is activated in chronic inflammatory states, e.g., the aging process and age-related diseases. IDO1 enzyme catabolizes L-tryptophan (L-Trp) into kynurenine (KYN) thus stimulating KYN pathway. The depletion of L-Trp inhibits proliferation immune cells inflamed tissues it also reduces serotonin synthesis predisposing to psychiatric disorders. Interestingly, protein contains two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) which trigger suppressive signaling through binding PI3K p110 SHP-1 proteins.

It is currently thought that UVB radiation drives photoaging of the skin primarily by generating ROS. In this model, ROS purportedly activates activator protein-1 to upregulate MMPs 1, 3, and 9, which then degrade collagen other extracellular matrix components produce wrinkles. However, these are expressed at relatively low levels correlate poorly with wrinkles, suggesting another mechanism distinct from MMP1/3/9 may be more directly associated photoaging. Here we show MMP2, degrades type IV collagen, abundantly in human skin, increases age sun-exposed correlates robustly aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor activated UV-generated photometabolites.

Under physiological conditions 95% of the ingested essential amino acid tryptophan is metabolized by kynurenine pathway (KP) to yield ubiquitous co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, fulfilling cellular energy requirements. Importantly, intermediaries KP exert crucial effects throughout body, including central nervous system. Besides, metabolites are implicated in diverse disease processes such as inflammation/immune disorders, endocrine/metabolic conditions, cancers and neuropsychiatric diseases. A burgeoning body research indicates that plays a pathogenic role major psychiatric diseases like mood disorders schizophrenia. Triggered inflammatory processes, balance between neurotoxic neuroprotective branches disturbed.
