Objective: Previous studies have suggested alterations in the kynurenine pathway as a major link between cytokine and neurotransmitter abnormalities in psychiatric disorders. Most of these studies used a cross-sectional case-control study design. However, knowledge is still lacking regarding the stability over time of kynurenine pathway metabolites and the functionally related cytokines. Therefore, we studied the stability of cytokines and tryptophan (TRP) parameters over a period of 12 weeks. Methods: A total of 117 participants-39 with major depression, 27 with somatoform disorder, and 51 healthy controlswere enrolled. Four evaluations, including blood withdrawal and psychometric testing, were performed over a period of 12 weeks. We used ELISA to measure interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1 receptor antagonist (RA) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF ). High-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze neurotransmitter variables, i.e. TRP, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), kynurenine (KYN), 3-OH-kynurenine (3-HK), and kynurenic acid (KYNA). Results: We found no significant fluctuations of TRP, its metabolites (5-HIAA, KYN, KYNA, and 3-HK), or the cytokines (IL-1RA, IL-6, and TNF ) in any of the groups over the 12 weeks. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study performed in psychiatric patients to verify the stability and consequently the reliability of the biological parameters we investigated. Our data indicate that TRP metabolites and cytokines are reliable biological parameters in psychiatric research because they do not fluctuate significantly over time.

<P>Recent strategies for treating CML patients have focused on investigating new combinations of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as well as identifying novel translational research agents that can eradicate CML leukemia‐initiating cells (CML‐LICs). However, little is known about the therapeutic benefits such CML‐LIC targeting therapies might bring to CML patients. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of EW‐7197, an orally bioavailable transforming growth factor‐β signaling inhibitor which has recently been approved as an Investigational New Drug (NIH, USA), to suppress CML‐LICs <I>in vivo</I>. Compared to TKI treatment alone, administration of TKI plus EW‐7197 to CML‐affected mice significantly delayed disease relapse and prolonged survival. Notably, combined treatment with EW‐7197 plus TKI was effective in eliminating CML‐LICs even if they expressed the TKI‐resistant T315I mutant <I>BCR‐ABL1</I> oncogene. Collectively, these results indicate that EW‐7197 may be a promising candidate for a new therapeutic that can greatly benefit CML patients by working in combination with TKIs to eradicate CML‐LICs.</P>
