Dual-inhibition of NAMPT and PAK4 induces anti-tumor effects in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer by suppressing mitochondrial function and expression of genes related to inflammation and DNA repair.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer follows a characteristic progression pattern, forming multiple tumor masses enriched with cancer stem cells (CSCs) within the abdomen. Most patients become resistant to standard platinum-based drugs, necessitating a change in treatment approach. To target CSCs, inhibiting NAMPT, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the salvage pathway for NAD+ synthesis, has been explored. KPT-9274 is an innovative drug targeting both NAMPT and PAK4. However, its effectiveness against ovarian cancer had not been validated. Here, we show the efficacy and mechanisms of KPT-9274 in treating 3D-cultured spheroids that are resistant to platinum-based drugs. In these spheroids, KPT-9274 not only inhibited NAD+ production in NAMPT-dependent cell lines, but also suppressed NADPH and ATP production, indicating reduced mitochondrial function. It also downregulated expression of inflammation and gene repair-related genes. Moreover, by altering PAK4's mostly cytoplasmic localization, the compound hindered kinase activity, leading to decreased phosphorylation of S6 Ribosomal protein, AKT, and β-Catenin in the cytoplasm and its suppression was NAD+- dependent. These findings suggest that KPT-9274 could be a promising treatment for ovarian cancer patients resistant to platinum drugs, emphasizing the need for precision medicine to identify the specific NAD+-producing pathway a tumor relies on before treatment.

Targeting the vulnerability to NAD+ depletion in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Although substantial progress has been made in the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), the prognosis of patients with refractory or relapsed B-ALL remains dismal. Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve the outcome of these patients. KPT-9274 is a novel dual inhibitor of p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT). PAK4 is a serine/threonine kinases and it regulates a variety of protein kinases involved in cell survival, motility and proliferation. NAMPT is a rate-limiting enzyme in the salvage biosynthesis pathway of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which plays a vital role in energy metabolism. Here, we show that KPT-9274 strongly inhibits B-ALL cell growth regardless of cytogenetic abnormalities. We also demonstrate the potent in vivo efficacy and tolerability of KPT-9274 in orthotopic xenograft murine models using patient-derived BALL cells. Although KPT-9274 affected both PAK4 signaling pathways and NAD+ dependent pathways, B-ALL cell growth inhibition mediated by KPT-9274 was largely abolished by nicotinic acid supplementation, indicating that the inhibitory effect of KPT- 9274 on B-ALL cell growth was mainly exerted by NAD+ depletion through blockade of NAMPT enzyme activity. Moreover, we found that B-ALL cells were especially vulnerable to NAD+ depletion, and the susceptibility to treatment with KPT-9274 was related to the reduced NAD+ reserve in B-ALL cells. NAD+ depletion may be a promising alternative approach to treating patients with B-ALL.

NAD+ Metabolism Generates a Metabolic Vulnerability in Endocrine-Resistant Metastatic Breast Tumors

Project description:Approximately 70% of human breast cancers express estrogen receptor-α (ERα), providing a potential target for endocrine therapy. However, 30%–40% of patients with ER+ breast cancer still experience recurrence and metastasis, with a 5-year relative overall survival rate of 24%. In this study, we identified NAMPT, an important enzyme in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism, to be increased in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) cells treated with Fulv. We tested whether blockade of NAD+ production via inhibition of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) synergizes with standard-of-care therapies for ER+ metastatic breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. A synergistic effect was not observed when KPT-9274 was combined with palbociclib or tamoxifen or when Fulv was combined with other metabolic inhibitors. We show that NAMPT inhibitor KPT-9274 and fulvestrant (Fulv) works synergistically to reduce metastatic tumor burden. RNA-sequencing analysis showed that NAMPT inhibition improved antiestrogenic activity of Fulv, and metabolomics analysis showed that NAMPT inhibition reduced the abundance of metabolites associated with several key tumor metabolic pathways. Targeting metabolic adaptations in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer is a novel strategy, and alternative approaches aimed at improving the therapeutic response of metastatic ER+ tumors are needed. Our findings uncover the role of ERα–NAMPT cross-talk in metastatic breast cancer and the utility of NAMPT inhibition and antiestrogen combination therapy in reducing tumor burden and metastasis, potentially leading to new avenues of metastatic breast cancer treatment.

Functional role and therapeutic targeting of p21-associated kinase 4 (PAK4) in Multiple Myeloma

Project description:Dysregulated oncogenic serine/threonine kinases play a pathological role in diverse forms of malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM), and thus represent potential therapeutic targets. Here, we evaluated the biological and functional role of p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4), and its potential as a new target in MM for clinical applications. PAK4 promoted MM cell growth and survival via activation of MM survival signaling pathways, including the MEK-ERK pathway. Furthermore, treatment with orally bioavailable PAK4 allosteric modulator (KPT-9274) significantly impacted MM cell growth and survival in a large panel of MM cell lines and primary MM cells alone and in the presence of bone marrow microenvironment. Intriguingly, we have identified FGFR3 as a novel binding partner of PAK4 and observed significant activity of KPT-9274 against t(4;14)-positive MM cells. These data support PAK4 as an oncogene in myeloma, and provide the rationale for the clinical evaluation of PAK4 modulator in myeloma.

The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) in hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation and self-renewal, as well as insult-induced differentiation, decrease markedly with age, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these declines remain unclear. Here we show that levels of NAD+ and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, decrease with age in the hippocampus. Ablation of Nampt in adult NSPCs reduced their pool and proliferation in vivo. The decrease in the NSPC pool during aging can be rescued by enhancing hippocampal NAD+ levels. Nampt is the main source of NSPC NAD+ levels and required for G1/S progression of the NSPC cell cycle. Nampt is also critical for oligodendrocytic lineage fate decisions through a mechanism mediated redundantly by Sirt1 and Sirt2. Ablation of Nampt in the adult NSPCs in vivo reduced NSPC-mediated oligodendrogenesis upon injury. These phenotypes recapitulate defects in NSPCs during aging, implicating Nampt-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis as a mediator of these age-associated functional declines. Total RNA obtained from neurospheres derived from postnatal hippocampi subjected to 48 hours in vitro of incubation with Nampt-specific inhibitor FK866 (10 nM, 4 samples) or vehicle (DMSO, 1:1000, 4 samples).

Loss of NAD homeostasis leads to progressive and reversible degeneration of skeletal muscle

Project description:NAD is an obligate co-factor for the catabolism of metabolic fuels in all cell types. However, the availability of NAD in several tissues can become limited during genotoxic stress and the course of natural aging. The point at which NAD restriction imposes functional limitations on tissue physiology remains unknown. We examined this question in murine skeletal muscle by specifically depleting Nampt, an essential enzyme in the NAD salvage pathway. Knockout mice exhibited a dramatic 85% decline in intramuscular NAD content, accompanied by fiber degeneration and progressive loss of both muscle strength and treadmill endurance. Administration of the NAD precursor nicotinamide riboside rapidly ameliorated functional deficits and restored muscle mass, despite having only a modest effect on the intramuscular NAD pool. Additionally, lifelong overexpression of Nampt preserved muscle NAD levels and exercise capacity in aged mice, supporting a critical role for tissue-autonomous NAD homeostasis in maintaining muscle mass and function. Messenger RNA was isolated from quadriceps muscle of mice from three different age groups and three different genotypes. Wildtype mice were aged 4, 7, and 24 months. Mice deficient for Nampt in skeletal muscle (mNKO) were aged 7 months. Mice overexpressing Nampt in skeletal muscle were aged 4 and 24 months.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide, a key NAD+ precursor, treats the pathophysiology of diet- and age-induced diabetes

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become an epidemic in our modern lifestyle, likely due to calorie-rich diets overwhelming our adaptive metabolic pathways. One such pathway is mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, and the NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1. Here we show that NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis is severely compromised in metabolic organs by high-fat diet (HFD). Strikingly, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a product of the NAMPT reaction and a key NAD+ intermediate, ameliorates glucose intolerance by restoring NAD+ levels in HFD-induced T2D mice. NMN also enhances hepatic insulin sensitivity and restores gene expression related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and circadian rhythm, partly through SIRT1 activation. Furthermore, NAD+ and NAMPT levels show significant decreases in multiple organs during aging, and NMN improves glucose intolerance and lipid profiles in age-induced T2D mice. These findings provide critical insights into a novel intervention against diet- and age-induced T2D. 4 regular chow fed mice (RC1-4) vs 4 high-fat diet fed (HFD) (HFD1a-4a) mice were analyzed on one chip (Chip-A). 4 HFD mice (HFD1b-4b) vs 4 HFD-NMN treated mice (NMN1-4) were examined on the other chip (Chip-B).

Development of gene expression signatures for ovarian cancer stem cells

Project description:To understand the differentiation of ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs), We derived two phenotypes of CSCs and identified the gene expression profiling. The CSCs were derived from Cp70 ovarian cancer cells and cultured in suspension and examined every day for sphere formation. Spheres were then dissociated and passaged at least eight times in 2 months to generate spheres, which are henceforth referred to as SR cells. The surface of SR-I was smooth regardless of the size, whereas SR-II was morula. SR-I could differentiate into multiple-lineage cell types under specific induction conditions. SR-I spheroids could differentiate to SR-II spheroids through epithelial-mesenchymal transition.The self-renewal was slower for SR-I than for SR-II.

NAD+ metabolism governs proinflammatory senescence secretome

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable cell growth arrest that is implicated in tissue aging and cancer. Senescent cells are characterized by an upregulation of proinflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokines and chemokines, which is termed as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). NAD+ metabolism plays a critical role in both tissue aging and cancer. However, the role of NAD+ metabolism in regulating the SASP is not well understood. Here we show that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD+ salvage pathway, governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP during senescence. In contrast to downregulation of NAMPT during replicative senescence, NAMPT is upregulated during oncogene-induced senescence. NAMPT selectively regulates proinflammatory, but not immunosuppressive, SASP. NAMPT is regulated by HMGA1 through a distal enhancer element during senescence. HMGA1/NAMPT/NAD+ signaling axis promotes proinflammatory SASP through enhancing glycolysis and mitochondria respiration. Mechanistically, HMGA1/NAMPT promotes proinflammatory SASP through NAD+-mediated suppression of AMPK kinase, which suppresses p53-mediated inhibition of p38MAPK to enhance NFb activity. SASP regulation by NAD+ metabolism is independent of senescence-associated cell growth arrest. An increase in NAD+ levels is sufficient to convert SASP from low to high levels during replicative senescence. Together, we conclude that NAD+ metabolism governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP. Given the tumor promoting effects of proinflammatory SASP, our results suggest that anti-ageing dietary NAD+ augmentation should be administered with precision.
