NAMPT and cancer: In cancers where a direct regulatory link between NAMPT and the sirtuins has not yet been elucidated, experimental induction of NAMPT has been shown to have a corresponding effect on SIRT1 activity (81), while genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of NAMPT has resulted in decreased SIRT1 (82–85), SIRT2 (86), and SIRT3 (87).
