NMN partially rescues cuproptosis by upregulating sirt2 to increase intracellular NADPH [PDF]
Cuproptosis is characterized by lipoylated protein aggregation and loss of iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins, which are crucial for a wide range of important cellular functions, including DNA replication and damage repair. Sirt2 and sirt4 are lipoamidases that

Optimized network inference for immune diseased single cells [PDF]
IntroductionMathematical models are powerful tools that can be used to advance our understanding of complex diseases. Autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are highly heterogeneous and require high-resolution mechanistic ...

NAD+ Metabolism-Related Gene Profile Can Be a Relevant Source of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Biomarkers. [PDF]
: Poor survival rates of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are associated with high recurrence, metastasis, and late diagnosis, due in part to a limited number of reliable biomarkers.

NADK upregulation is an essential metabolic adaptation that enables breast cancer metastatic colonization [PDF]
AbstractMetabolic reprogramming and metabolic plasticity allow cancer cells to fine-tune their metabolism to adapt to the ever-changing environments of the metastatic cascade, for which lipid metabolism and oxidative stress are of particular importance.

A Pyroptosis-Related Gene Signature Predicts Prognosis and Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death, which garners increasing attention by relating to immune and therapy response. However, the role of pyroptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear.

Investigation of the Relationship Between NADK and RSL3 and Exploration of Potential Usage of RSL3: Potential Applications of RSL3: Insights from Its Relationship with NADK [PDF]
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and ferroptosis has emerged as a potential therapeutic target due to its role in tumor suppression. RSL3, a GPX4 inhibitor, and NADK knockdown both promote ferroptosis, but their relationship in lung cancer treatment remains unexplored.

S857 THE NUCLEOTIDE KINASE NADK CONSTITUTES A METABOLIC VULNERABILITY OF NOTCH1‐DRIVEN T‐ALL
Background:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer with a cumulative risk of ∼1 in 2,000 children by the age of 15 years and an increasing incidence over the last 30 years.Activating mutations in the NOTCH1gene are found in more than 60% of cases of T‐cell Acute Lymphoblastic leukaemia (T‐ALL) and are being targeted ...

Downregulation of NAD Kinase Expression in β-Cells Contributes to the Aging-Associated Decline in Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion. [PDF]
Adequate NADK/NADK2 level is essential to the proper functioning of redox and folate cycles and the purine biosynthesis pathway, and as well as maintenance of GSIS response. During aging, diminished NADK/NADK2 expression alters the metabolic status quo, increasing AICAR production. The latter activates AMPK and suppresses GSIS.

De Novo Biosynthesis of Antidepressant Psilocybin in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Our work achieved de novo synthesis of antidepressant psilocybin in a single engineered Escherichia coli cell. By constructing the P450 PsiH variants with N‐terminal hydrophobic domain modifications, improving the supply of precursor tryptophan and cofactor NADPH, enhancing the electron transfer (ET) pathway and the final methylation step, and ...
