Description of L-Kynurenine

L-Kynurenine is a metabolite of L-tryptophan and an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist. L-Kynurenine can also cause NK cell death through the reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathway[1][2].

L-Kynurenine triggers competition between aryl hydrocarbon receptor and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) for ARNT (Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator) in MCF-7 cells under hypoxic conditions [1]. L-Kynurenine (0-1mM; 48h) specifically affects the expression of NKp46, NKG2D, and CD69 in the phenotype of NK cells cultured in IL-2, without altering the surface density of other triggering or coreceptors, including CD16, 2B4, NTB-A, DNAM-1, and CD59, or the surface density of inhibitory receptors[2]. After adding L-Kynurenine (10-40µM) to the supernatant of HCEC cells, cell apoptosis increased slightly and had a certain dose-dependent toxicity [3]. Treatment with L-Kynurenine (0–800μM; 72h) dose-dependently induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in NK92 MI cells[4].

L-Kynurenine (30mg/kg) inhibited ischemia-induced hyperlocomotion in the mouse MCAO model and reduced ischemia-induced deterioration of spontaneous alternation (a measure of spatial memory) without changing rectal temperature[5]. In the rat L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation model, L-Kynurenine (50-200mg/kg; ip) did not affect allodynia in neuropathic rats, while the combination of L-Kynurenine and the organic anion transport inhibitor probenecid (100mg/kg; ip) reversed allodynia[6].

Protocol of L-Kynurenine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF-7 human breast cancer cells

Preparation Method

MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were exposed to 50µM L-Kynurenine for 4h under normal (21%) or low (1%) oxygen supply conditions.

Reaction Conditions

50µM; 4h

Applications

L-Kynurenine triggers competition between aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) for ARNT in cells under hypoxic conditions.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) Modle

Preparation Method

Mice were injected with L-Kynurenine (30mg/kg) 15min before MCAO surgery, and the neuroprotective effects of L-Kynurenine sulfate (a precursor of kynurenic acid) were measured 24 to 48h later.

Dosage form

30mg/kg; ip

Applications

L-Kynurenine inhibited the ischemia-induced hypermotility, and decreased the ischemia-induced deterioration of spontaneous alternation, a measure of spatial memory, without altering the rectal temperature.
