Elucidating prognostic significance of purine metabolism in colorectal cancer through integrating data from transcriptomic, immunohistochemical, and single‐cell RNA sequencing analysis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low expression of five purine metabolism‐related genes (ADSL, APRT, ADCY3, NME3, NME6) was correlated with poor survival in colorectal cancer. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that low NME3 (early stage) and low ADSL/NME6 (late stage) levels were associated with high risk.

Iminosugar-Based Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) Inhibitors as Potential Anti-Pancreatic Cancer Agents

Pharmaceutics, 2023
The nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is considered a very promising therapeutic target because it is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer.

Targeting carbonic anhydrase IX/XII prevents the anti‐ferroptotic effect of stromal lactic acid in prostate carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In prostate carcinoma, lactic acid, secreted by highly glycolytic cancer‐associated fibroblasts, is imported into tumor cells through the MCT1 transporter and prevents RSL3 and erastin‐induced ferroptosis (A). Targeting of carbonic anhydrase IX/XII, the main extracellular pH regulators, in tumor and stromal cells reduces microenvironmental acidosis and

Gut alterations in a chronic kidney disease rat model with diet‐induced vascular calcification

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often suffer from intestinal and/or mineral and bone disorders. Using a rat model, we showed that uremic vascular calcification is associated with gut barrier alterations (decreased gut mucus production and Nlrp6 gene expression, increased gut inflammation), and plasma retention of gut‐origin uremic toxins (indoxyl

Cancer cell metabolic plasticity allows resistance to NAMPT inhibition but invariably induces dependence on LDHA

Cancer & Metabolism, 2018
Background Inhibitors of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in NAD+ biosynthesis from nicotinamide, exhibit anticancer effects in preclinical models.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase may be involved in age-related brain diseases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a key enzyme for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis, and can be found either intracellularly (iNAMPT) or extracellularly (eNAMPT).

Properly Substituted Benzimidazoles as a New Promising Class of Nicotinate Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT) Modulators

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
The prevention of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis is considered an attractive therapeutic approach against cancer, considering that tumor cells are characterized by an increased need for NAD to fuel their reprogrammed metabolism.

Apoptotic Bodies Restore NAD and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Fibroblasts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived apoptotic bodies (MSC‐ABs) target keloid fibroblasts (KFs), restoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism and mitochondrial function, suppressing collagen overproduction, and rebalancing tissue homeostasis, offering a novel therapy for keloid.

Metabolic Stress‐Induced Choline Kinase α (CHKA) Activation in Endothelial Subpopulation Contributes to Diabetes‐Associated Microvascular Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers CHKA as a pivotal driver of vascular dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy and highlights its role in endothelial dysfunction through NAD⁺‐SIRT1‐Notch signaling. Single‐cell and functional analyses, combined with clinical and genetic validation, suggest CHKA as a promising therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of ...
