Graphical abstract of this study. In CKD, increased NNMT expression contributes to renal fibrosis and CKD progression through NAD + and methionine metabolism by regulating NF-κB acetylation and DNA methylation of fibrotic genes. UUO, unilateral ureter obstruction; NAM, nicotinamide; NAD + , nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; NAMPT, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase; NNMT, nicotinamide N-methyltransferase; N-Me-2PY, N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide; N-Me-4PY, N-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide; SAM, S-adenosylmethionine; SAH, S-adenosylhomocysteine; NF-κB, nuclear factor-kappa B.
