Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase prompts bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by driving macrophage M2 polarization in mice. [PDF]
Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible, fatal interstitial lung disease lacking specific therapeutics. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ...

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase inhibitor ameliorates mouse aging-induced cognitive impairment. [PDF]
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the key enzyme for the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in the salvaging pathway. Though NAMPT inhibitors such as FK866 were originally developed as anti-cancer drugs, they also display neuroprotective effects. Here we show that the administration of FK866 at 0.5 mg/kg (ip, qod) for

Astrocyte-derived exosomal nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) ameliorates ischemic stroke injury by targeting AMPK/mTOR signaling to induce autophagy. [PDF]
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a global cerebrovascular disease with high disability and mortality, which has no effective therapy. Studies have demonstrated that astrocyte-derived exosomes (ADEXs) provided neuroprotection in experimental stroke models ...

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase/visfatin does not catalyze nicotinamide mononucleotide formation in blood plasma. [PDF]
Nicotinamide (Nam) phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD synthesis, catalyzing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) formation from Nam and 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP).

Circular RNA triple functional domain promotes osteoarthritis' development by modulating the microRNA-136-5p/Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase axis. [PDF]
Numerous studies have affirmed the participation of circular RNA (circRNA) in osteoarthritis (OA)’ development. Previous studies have exposed the elevation of the circRNA triple functional domain (TRIO) in OA, while the molecular mechanism of its effect ...

A Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitor, FK866, Suppresses the Growth of Anaplastic Meningiomas and Inhibits Immune Checkpoint Expression by Regulating STAT1. [PDF]
Anaplastic meningioma is classified as a World Health Organization (WHO) grade III tumor and shows a strong tendency to recur. Although the incidence of anaplastic meningioma is low, the high rate of recurrence and death still makes treatment a challenge.
