NAPRT-mediated deamidated NAD biosynthesis enhances tissue resiliency and suppresses tumorigenesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: NAD biosynthetic enzymes are widely considered oncogenic due to their frequent overexpression in cancer to support elevated metabolic demand. This dataset is in support of a manuscript where we identify a tumor-suppressive role for the deamidated NAD biosynthesis pathway in both mice and humans. Unlike the ubiquitously expressed amidated salvage enzyme, NAPRT the first enzyme of the deamidated pathway is selectively enriched in gut epithelial cells, where it sustains NAD levels during stress-induced acute depletion. Loss of NAPRT compromises PARP activity and DNA repair, increasing susceptibility to chemically induced colitis, tumorigenesis, and age-associated spontaneous tumors in mice. Consistently, low NAPRT expression correlates with poor prognosis across multiple human cancers. These findings demonstrate that endogenous deamidated NAD biosynthesis suppresses tumorigenesis, and that enhancing this pathway may offer a strategy for tumor prevention.
