Immunomodulatory actions of a kynurenine-derived endogenous electrophile

2022-02-10

Abstract excerpt

The inflammatory upregulation of kynurenine metabolism induces immunomodulatory responses via incompletely understood mechanisms. We report that increases in cellular and systemic kynurenine levels yield the electrophilic derivative kynurenine-carboxyketoalkene (Kyn-CKA), as evidenced by the accumulation of thiol-conjugates and saturated metabolites. Under physiological conditions, Kyn-CKA induces Nrf2-regulated g...
