Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase as a Target in Inflammation- Related Disorders

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
NAD⁺ biosynthesis through nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) holds potential as a target for the treatment of inflammatory disorders due to NAD(+)'s role in immune cell signaling and metabolism. In addition to its activity as an enzyme, NAMPT is also secreted in the extracellular space where it acts as a pro-inflammatory and proangiogenic ...

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.

Boosting NAD+ with a small molecule that activates NAMPT

Nature Communications, 2019
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the rate determining step for NAD+ synthesis and is of interest as a drug target. Here the authors identify and characterize a small molecule NAMPT activator SBI-797812, elucidate its mode of ...

Dysregulation of NAD+ metabolism induces a Schwann cell dedifferentiation program [PDF]

, 2018
The Schwann cell (SC) is the major component of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that provides metabolic and functional support for peripheral axons. The emerging roles of SC mitochondrial function for PNS development and axonal stability indicate the

NMNAT1 inhibits axon degeneration via blockade of SARM1-mediated NAD+ depletion [PDF]

, 2016
Overexpression of the NAD(+) biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 leads to preservation of injured axons. While increased NAD(+) or decreased NMN levels are thought to be critical to this process, the mechanism(s) of this axon protection remain obscure.

Dual action of imeglimin on insulin secretion and sensitivity in type 2 diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Imeglimin is a novel oral hypoglycemic agent approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan, with dual actions to enhance insulin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity, suggested by preclinical evidence. However, the effect of imeglimin on tissue‐specific insulin sensitivity and glucose kinetics using glucose tracers is ...

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for biosynthesis of β‐nicotinamide mononucleotide from nicotinamide

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary The β‐nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a key intermediate of an essential coenzyme for cellular redox reactions, NAD. Administration of NMN is reported to improve various symptoms, such as diabetes and age‐related physiological decline. Thus,

Ability of metformin to deplete NAD+ contributes to cancer cell susceptibility to metformin cytotoxicity and is dependent on NAMPT expression

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
BackgroundNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is vital for not only energy metabolism but also signaling pathways. A major source of NAD+ depletion is the activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in response to DNA damage.
