IDO1 overexpression

The combination of IDO1 and HDAC inhibitors represents a promising strategy for CRC treatment, and NP-I/P is a candidate for clinical trials.

Overexpression of IDO1 and lower CD8+ T-cell levels were associated with poor survival in patients with gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and overexpression of IDO1 were associated with the poor tumor response. Our data suggest that IDO1 and CD8 testing of biopsy specimens might be a simple and effective prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer, and IDO1 could predict efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer.

Response-adaptive surgical timing enhanced treatment response. IDO-inhibitor BMS986205 augmented pTR in patients with high IDO1-expression in baseline samples, indicating a need for identifying and targeting resistant nodes to immunotherapy. HPV-status-dependent signatures predicting response to immunotherapy in HNSCC warrant further study.

Mechanistically, the kynurenine released from IDO1-expressing CRC cells inhibited the IGFBP5/p53 signaling pathway, accounting for IDO1-mediated suppression of cell senescence and induction of chemoresistance. Collectively, these data revealed an unrecognized role of IDO1 in senescence escape and chemoresistance via releasing its catabolite kynurenine, implicating that therapeutically targeting IDO1 or IGFBP5/p53 signaling pathway holds great promise for CRC treatment.

This study identifies IDO1 as an independent prognostic indicator of OS in patients with ESCC, reveals a compelling connection of IDO1, PD-1, and TAMs, and explores the sensitivity of patients with high IDO1 expression to chemotherapeutic drugs and their resistance to IC blockade. These findings open new avenues for potential targets in ESCC immunotherapy.

IDO1 inhibitors could inhibit glycolysis, promote apoptosis, and exhibit robust therapeutic efficacy when combined with GLUT1 inhibitor in PC mice. Our study reveals the function of IDO1 in the glucose metabolism of PC and provides new insights into the therapeutic strategy for PC.

IDO1 expression warrants further exploration as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy. Moreover, co-expressed immunoregulatory molecules merit exploration for co-targeting.

Their potential to deliver potent dual inhibition of IDO1/TDO2, along with safety and favorable pharmacokinetics, makes them compelling. Validation through in vitro and in vivo assays should be conducted to confirm their activity, selectivity, and preclinical potential as holo IDO1/TDO2 dual inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

TNBC cells induce dysfunction of NK cells through an IFN-γ/IDO-1/HLA-G pathway, which provide novel insights into the mechanisms of TNBC progression and demonstrate the applicability of IDO-1 and HLA-G targeting in the treatment of TNBC.

Our study provides evidence that IDO1 expression serves as a positive prognostic marker in HGSOC and is associated with an increased number of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ TILs. Understanding the intricate relationship between IDO1, TILs, and the tumor microenvironment may hold the key to improving outcomes in HGSOC.

Our findings suggest that CRG alleviates liver fibrosis by mediating IDO1-mediated M2 macrophage repolarization.

High levels of immune cells and immune checkpoint proteins have a significant impact on patient survival in SBA. These data could provide an insight into the immunotherapeutic management of patients with SBA.
