NADH:NAD Cancer Research Results

NADH:NAD, NADH:NAD+ ratio: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
The ratio between NADH and NAD⁺ is a key indicator of a cell’s metabolic state.

• In many cancers, changes in this ratio may indicate increased reliance on glycolysis or alterations in mitochondrial function.
• Some studies have suggested that abnormal NADH metabolism or shifts in the NADH/NAD⁺ ratio can be correlated with tumor aggressiveness or response to therapy.
• For example, in certain cancers, a higher NADH/NAD⁺ ratio may be associated with more aggressive behavior, resistance to apoptosis, or poor prognosis.

A shift toward a higher NADH/NAD⁺ ratio can potentially impair these regulatory pathways, diminishing the cell’s capacity to respond to or repair damage from elevated ROS levels.
-A high NADH/NAD⁺ ratio can lead to increased ROS production, particularly through mitochondrial electron leakage.

- in-vitro, CRC, HT-29 - in-vitro, CRC, HCT116 - in-vitro, Pca, PC3 - in-vitro, CRC, HT-29
LC3II↑, Increased expression of the autophagy markers LC3B II was observed following DCA treatment both in vitro and in vivo
ROS↑, increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
mTOR↓, mTOR inhibition
MCT1↓, DCA is a possible competitive MCT-1 inhibitor
NADH:NAD↓, increased NAD+/NADH ratios
NAD↑,
TumAuto↑, DCA induces autophagy in cancer cells accompanied by ROS production and mTOR inhibition, reduced lactate excretion, reduced kPL and increased NAD+/NADH ratio.
lactateProd↓, DCA treatment reduces lactate excretion with no change in glucose uptake
LDH↑, Increased LDH activity

5254- NCL,    The magic bullet: Niclosamide
- Review, Var, NA
Wnt↓, In particular, niclosamide inhibits multiple oncogenic pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, Ras, Stat3, Notch, E2F-Myc, NF-κB, and mTOR and activates tumor suppressor signaling pathways such as p53, PP2A, and AMPK.
β-catenin/ZEB1↓,
RAS↓,
STAT3↓,
NOTCH↓,
E2Fs↓,
mTOR↓,
eff↑, Moreover, niclosamide potentially improves immunotherapy by modulating pathways such as PD-1/PDL-1.
PD-1↓,
PD-L1↓, primarily through PD-L1 ligand downregulation in cancer cells.
BioAv↝, The original pharmacokinetics study showed that the maximal serum concentration can reach 0.25-6.0ug/ml (0.76-18.34 µM) following administration of a single 2g dose (11).
toxicity↓, a strong safety profile and tolerability in humans.
BioAv↑, A potential solution to the aforementioned challenge is niclosamide ethanolamine (NEN), a salt form of niclosamide that also functions as a mitochondrial uncoupler with a superior safety profile and enhanced bioavailability
ETC↑, NEN activates the ETC to boost NADH oxidation, thereby leading to an increased intracellular NAD+/NADH ratio and driving the TCA cycle forward.
NADH:NAD↓,
TCA↑,
Warburg↓, leading to a reversal of the Warburg effect and the induction of cellular differentiation
Diff↑,
AMPK↑, figure 3
P53↑,
PP2A↑,
HIF-1↓,
KRAS↓,
Myc↓,
RadioS↑, leading to a reversal of the Warburg effect and the induction of cellular differentiation
ChemoSen↑, Niclosamide has shown synergistic anti-tumor effects with a broad spectrum of chemotherapy drugs.
Dose↝, In this trial, either 500mg or 1000mg niclosamide was given three times daily to patients. However, the maximal plasma concentration ranged from 35.7–82 ng/mL (0.1µM-0.25 µM), a range that failed to be consistently above the minimum effective concent
Dose↑, In contrast, the ongoing clinical trial NCT02807805 is administering 1200 mg of reformulated orally bioavailable niclosamide orally (PO) three times daily to patients, resulting in 0.21µM-0.723 plasma niclosamide concentrations exceeding the therape
