Immunopharmacology Comments
IDO2 is an enzyme in the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway. It is expressed in immune cells (e.g. dendritic cells and monocytes) which suggests that it plays some role in immune function, but its precise function remains to be fully elucidated. Mice lacking Ido2 produce greater amounts of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and have elevated levels of activated (phosphorylated) Stat3 compared to wild type mice in response to LPS exposure [3]. Overexpression of Ido2 (in mouse macrophages) has the opposite effect, i.e. suppression of IL-6 production and Stat3 activation. These results suggest that pharmacological modulation of Ido2 could be exploited to regulate IL-6/Stat3 signalling as a mechanism to treat immune disorders.
Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
Ido2 knockout mice are more susceptible to LPS endotoxin-induced shock and death than wild type mice.
