The IAA induced expression system requires the gene of interest cloned in plasmids containing the trp promoter. It promotes the barrier functionality of the intestinal epithelial cells. IAA also favors anti-inflammatory response and is regarded as a potential therapeutic to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is also implicated in a variety of cellular processes including apoptosis, autophagy, cell proliferation and migration. In tumor cells, IAA is also reported to hinder tryptophan metabolism.
