IDO1 (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenases) is a tryptophan-catabolic enzyme, responsible for catalyzing the conversion of tryptophan into kynurenine, contributing to immune tolerability, due to the immunosuppressive activity of tryptophan metabolites: T-effectors and NK cells’ functions are blockaded, and Treg, DC and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) activities are enhanced [45,59]; however, IDO1 can also be overexpressed in different cancers, NSCLC included, contributing to the immunosuppressive TME [60,61]. The gene discussed is IDO1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
