ScatLay: utilizing transcriptome-wide noise for identifying and visualizing differentially expressed genes
10 views | Dec 24 2020
Thuy Tien Bui et al. provided a wider coverage of DE genes, and would likely pave way for finding more novel regulatory genes in future works. [Read the Full Post]
Notoginseng Leaf Triterpenes Ameliorates OGD/R-Induced Neuronal Injury via SIRT1/2/3-Foxo3a-MnSOD/PGC-1 α Signaling Pathways Mediated by the NAMPT-NAD Pathway
21 views | Nov 07 2020
Weijie Xie et al. found that PNGL, as a new drug candidate, had a pivotal role in mitochondrial homeostasis and energy metabolism therapy via NAMPT against OGD-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury. [Read the Full Post]
Pre-B cell colony enhancing factor induces Nampt-dependent translocation of the insulin receptor out of lipid microdomains in A549 lung epithelial cells
0 views | Nov 06 2020
Qianyi Peng et al. concluded that PBEF could inhibit insulin signaling through the IR by Nampt-dependent promotion of IR translocation into the nonraft domains of A549 epithelial cells. [Read the Full Post]
Tipifarnib as a Precision Therapy for HRAS-Mutant Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas
35 views | Sep 24 2020
Mara Gilardi et al. supported that HRAS represented a druggable oncogene in HNSCC through FTase inhibition by tipifarnib, thereby identifying a precision therapeutic option for HNSCCs harboring HRAS mutations. [Read the Full Post]
Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Phenotype of the G608G Progeria Mouse Model With Lonafarnib, Pravastatin, and Zoledronic Acid as Treatment Groups
77 views | Jun 10 2020
Maria B Cubria et al. characterized the musculoskeletal phenotype of the homozygous G608G BAC-transgenic progeria mouse model, and determined the phenotype changes of HGPS mice after a five-arm preclinical trial of different treatment combinations with lonafarnib, pravastatin, and zoledronic acid.

Identifying off-target effects of etomoxir reveals that carnitine palmitoyltransferase I is essential for cancer cell proliferation independent of β-oxidation
137 views | Apr 12 2020
Yao CH et al. suggested that transport of at least some long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria by CPT1 may be required for anabolic processes that support healthy mitochondrial function and cancer cell proliferation independent of FAO. [Read the Full Post]
Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitor APO866 Prevents IL-1β-Induced Human Nucleus Pulposus Cell Degeneration via Autophagy
225 views | Jan 14 2020
Shi C et al. indicated that APO866 protects NP cells and induces autophagy by inhibiting IL-1β-induced NP cell degeneration and apoptosis, which may have therapeutic potential in IDD. [Read the Full Post]
Selective Cytotoxicity of the NAMPT Inhibitor FK866 Toward Gastric Cancer Cells With Markers of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition, Due to Loss of NAPRT
120 views | Jan 14 2020
Lee J et al. showed that FK866 selectively kills gastric cancer cells with an EMT gene expression signature by inhibiting nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase in cells with NAPRT deficiency. Loss of NAPRT expression, frequently through promoter hypermethylation, is observed in many gastric tumors of the EMT subtype. FK866 might be used to treat patients with tumors of this subtype.

Pre-B cell colony enhancing factor induces Nampt-dependent translocation of the insulin receptor out of lipid microdomains in A549 lung epithelial cells
0 views | Jan 13 2020
Peng Q et al. concluded that PBEF can inhibit insulin signaling through the IR by Nampt-dependent promotion of IR translocation into the nonraft domains of A549 epithelial cells. PBEF-induced alterations in the spatial geometry of the IR provide a mechanistic explanation for insulin resistance in inflammatory states associated with upregulation of PBEF. [Read the Full Post]
Tipifarnib prevents development of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension
0 views | Dec 02 2019
Duluc L et al. demonstrated the importance of protein farnesylation in pulmonary vascular remodelling and provides a rationale for selective targeting of this pathway in pulmonary hypertension. [Read the Full Post]
