Studies have shown that DCs differentiated under low-tryptophan conditions acquire a tolerogenic phenotype ( Tryptophan is metabolized by indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) into formylkynurenine, which is spontaneously converted into Kyn ( in vivo by stimulating the nonclassical NF-B pathway, which led to the suppression of DC-mediated type 1 diabetes autoimmunity ( in vitro and in vivo ( In addition to key metabolic pathways, tryptophan metabolites 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA) can also regulate DCs function
