| Abstract | We have previously demonstrated that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression by skin cells generates a tryptophan deficient environment in which THP-1, Jurkat cells as well as human PBMC are unable to survive. However, the subsets of primary human T cells that are sensitive to tryptophan depletion have not been identified. In this study, we asked whether the proliferation and viability of bystander CD4$^{+}$ and CD8$^{+}$ T cells are modulated in response to IDO induced tryptophan deficient environment and if so, whether their response is different. To address these questions, we co-cultured IDO-expressing fibroblasts with bystander human CD4$^{+}$ and CD8$^{+}$ T cells for 4 days and then the survival and proliferation rates as well as downstream metabolic pathway of tryptophan degradation in these cells were evaluated. The results showed a marked immunosuppressive effect of IDO expression on both subsets of primary human T cells. Interestingly, there was also a significant difference in the suppressive effect of IDO on proliferation of CD8$^{+}$ compared to that of CD4$^{+}$ T cells. The results of subsequent experiments showed that this discrepancy is due to differences in GCN2 kinase pathway activation between these two sets of immune cells. In conclusion, the finding of this study revealed that the proliferation of CD8$^{+}$ and CD4$^{+}$ T cells are suppressed in response to tryptophan deficient environment caused by IDO expression and it is more so for CD8$^{+ }$T than CD4$^{+ }$T cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
