Molecular imaging correlates of tryptophan metabolism via the kynurenine pathway in human meningiomas
Neuro-oncologyPeer ReviewedEdit Bosnyák +92015Journals
Increased tryptophan metabolism via the kynurenine pathway (KP) is a key mechanism of tumoral immune suppression in gliomas. However, details of tryptophan metabolism in meningiomas have not been elucidated. In this study, we evaluated in vivo tryptophan metabolism in meningiomas and compared it with gliomas using α-[(11)C]-methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT)-PET. We also explored expression patterns of KP enzymes in resected meningiomas.
