Single-Cell RNA sequencing identifies NAMPT as a potential therapeutic target in autoimmune uveitis
DOI:10.1016/j.jare.2025.12.030.png)
Abstract
En 中文
• Inhibition of NAMPT significantly ameliorates both the clinical symptoms and histopathological features of EAU. • NAMPT inhibition reverses abnormal, disease-associated transcriptional programs within immune cell populations in EAU, particularly in CD4+ T cells. • Suppressing NAMPT reduces Th17 and Th1 responses while enhancing Treg populations. • NAMPT inhibition restores the Teff/Treg balance by downregulating Hif1α. • NAMPT expression is elevated in CD4+ T cells from patients with uveitis. • A conserved NAMPT-Hif1α signaling axis exists in human uveitis.
