Clinicopathological characteristics of patients with inoperable non‐small cell lung cancer harboring circulating NRF2 pathway mutations

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer‐related morbidity and mortality, with tobacco smoking as its strongest risk factor. Nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (NRF2) is a redox‐regulated transcription factor frequently dysregulated in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), leading to aggressive disease and resistance to therapy.

Proteomic Changes in Cancer Cell Lines as a Result of Bacterial Infection

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial infections have been implicated in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their effects on cancer cell proteomes remain unexplored. In this study, we analyzed proteomic changes in melanoma (A375) and ovarian cancer (OVCAR3) cell line models following infection with Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 or Salmonella enterica ...

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.

Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone‐dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, its impact on lesion regression is limited, possibly due to apoptosis resistance and ...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase in Sepsis

, 2012
The word sepsis was derived from the Greek word: sepsis, which means the state of putrefaction or decay. Sepsis is a potentially deadly medical condition that is characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state, called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and the presence of a known or suspected infection.

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase/Visfatin Does Not Catalyze Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Formation in Blood Plasma

PLoS ONE, 2011
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). NAMPT has also been described as an adipocytokine visfatin with a variety of actions, although physiological significance of this ...

NAD replenishment restores mitochondrial function and thermogenesis in the brown adipose tissue of mice with obesity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A high‐fat diet (HFD) induces brown adipose tissue (BAT) whitening, mitochondrial dysfunction (damaged cristae, fragmentation), reduced NAD+ levels and impaired thermogenesis, leading to lower energy expenditure and metabolic inflexibility.

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitors, Design, Preparation, and Structure–Activity Relationship [PDF]

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
Existing pharmacological inhibitors for nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) are promising therapeutics for treating cancer. By using medicinal and computational chemistry methods, the structure-activity relationship for novel classes of NAMPT inhibitors is described, and the compounds are optimized.
