Boosting NAD(+) biosynthesis with NAD(+) intermediates has been proposed as a
strategy for preventing and treating age-associated diseases, including cancer.
However, concerns in this area were raised by observations that nicotinamide
phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), a key enzyme in mammalian NAD(+) biosynthesis,
is frequently up-regulated in human malignancies, including breast cancer,
suggesting possible protumorigenic effects for this protein. We addressed this
issue by studying NAMPT expression and function in human breast cancer in vivo
and in vitro. Our data indicate that high NAMPT levels are associated with
aggressive pathological and molecular features, such as estrogen receptor
negativity as well as HER2-enriched and basal-like PAM50 phenotypes. Consistent
with these findings, we found that NAMPT overexpression in mammary epithelial
cells induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, a morphological and
functional switch that confers cancer cells an increased metastatic potential.
However, importantly, NAMPT-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition was
found to be independent of NAMPT enzymatic activity and of the NAMPT product
nicotinamide mononucleotide. Instead, it was mediated by secreted NAMPT through
its ability to activate the TGF? signaling pathway via increased TGF?1
production. These findings have implications for the design of therapeutic
strategies exploiting NAD(+) biosynthesis via NAMPT in aging and cancer and also
suggest the potential of anticancer agents designed to specifically neutralize
extracellular NAMPT. Notably, because high levels of circulating NAMPT are found
in obese and diabetic patients, our data could also explain the increased
predisposition to cancer of these subjects.
