The study revealed that plasma tryptophan levels were significantly decreased in bladder cancer patients, while both plasma and urinary KYN-TRP ratios were increased. Furthermore, the expression of IDO1 was found to be elevated in human bladder tumors. In the murine model, a positive correlation was reported between IDO1 expression, KYN-TRP ratio, normalized PSA to creatinine, and bladder tumor burden.
Objectives To investigate plasma and urinary kynurenine (KYN)-tryptophan (TRP) ratios in bladder cancer, expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) in relation to tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) in bladder tumour, and the correlation of KYN-TRP ratio with bladder tumour burden. Methods Metabotyping of the TRP-KYN metabolic axis was performed via a clinical case-control study. Expression of IDO1 and TDO2 was measured in human biopsied tissues. Correlational experiments between KYN-TRP ratio and bladder tumour were performed using a murine orthotopic prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-secreting MB49 bladder cancer model. Results We established for the first time that plasma TRP level was significantly decreased, while both plasma and urinary KYN-TRP ratios were significantly higher in bladder cancer patients, and expression level of IDO1 but not TDO2 was increased in human bladder tumour. We reported the positive correlation between IDO1 expression, KYN-TRP ratio, normalized PSA to creatinine, and bladder tumour burden in the murine model. Conclusion Kynurenine-tryptophan ratio is a promising surveillance biomarker for bladder cancer, but would require further validation before clinical translation.
