Increased renal NNMT expression and NNMT-mediated NAD + metabolite fluctuations in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) models. (A) Renal NNMT expression after four days UUO. The values shown are means ± SEM (n = 6 per group). (B), (C) Time course of renal NAD + metabolite changes after UUO induction. The values shown are means ± SEM (n = 3–4 per group). (D) mRNA expressions of fibrosis-related genes and sirtuins after four days UUO. The values shown are means ± SEM (n = 4–6 per group). UUO, unilateral ureter obstruction; NNMT, nicotinamide N-methyltransferase; NAD + , nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; NAM, nicotinamide; NMN, nicotinamide mononucleotide; NNO, nicotinamide-N-oxide; MNA, 1-methylnicotinamide; N-Me-2PY, N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide; N-Me-4PY, N-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide; αSMA, α-smooth muscle cell actin; col, collagen; TGF, transforming growth factor. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus control (sham-operated kidney).
