Title

Kynurenic acid/GPR35 axis restricts NLRP3 inflammasome activation and exacerbates colitis in mice with social stress

Overall design

The aim of this study was to profile the change of tryptophan-kynurenine pathway in the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model. C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) CSDS group. C57BL/6J mice were exposed to a different CD-1 aggressor mouse each day for 10 min for 10 consecutive days. A targeted metabolomic analysis of tryptophan-kynurenine pathway was performed in the intestinal/colonic tissue, feces, urine and sera of mice (n = 6-8).
