Résumé

The metabolic enzyme nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is highly expressed in various cancer entities, suggesting tumour-promoting functions. We systematically investigated NNMT expression and its metabolic interactions in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a prominent RCC subtype with metabolic alterations, to elucidate its role as a drug target. NNMT expression was assessed in primary ccRCC (n = 134), non-tumour tissue and ccRCC-derived metastases (n = 145) by microarray analysis and/or immunohistochemistry. Findings were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (kidney renal clear cell carcinoma [KIRC], n = 452) and by single-cell analysis. Expression was correlated with clinicopathological data and survival. Metabolic alterations in NNMT-depleted cells were assessed by nontargeted/targeted metabolomics and extracellular flux analysis. The NNMT inhibitor (NNMTi) alone and in combination with the inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose for glycolysis and BPTES (bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl-sulfide) for glutamine metabolism was investigated in RCC cell lines (786-O, A498) and in two 2D ccRCC-derived primary cultures and three 3D ccRCC air-liquid interface models. NNMT protein was overexpressed in primary ccRCC (p = 1.32 × 10 Since efficient glutamine utilisation, which is essential for ccRCC tumours, depends on NNMT, small-molecule NNMT inhibitors provide a novel therapeutic strategy for ccRCC and act as sensitizers for combination therapies.

BACKGROUND
The metabolic enzyme nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is highly expressed in various cancer entities, suggesting tumour-promoting functions. We systematically investigated NNMT expression and its metabolic interactions in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a prominent RCC subtype with metabolic alterations, to elucidate its role as a drug target.
METHODS
NNMT expression was assessed in primary ccRCC (n = 134), non-tumour tissue and ccRCC-derived metastases (n = 145) by microarray analysis and/or immunohistochemistry. Findings were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (kidney renal clear cell carcinoma [KIRC], n = 452) and by single-cell analysis. Expression was correlated with clinicopathological data and survival. Metabolic alterations in NNMT-depleted cells were assessed by nontargeted/targeted metabolomics and extracellular flux analysis. The NNMT inhibitor (NNMTi) alone and in combination with the inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose for glycolysis and BPTES (bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl-sulfide) for glutamine metabolism was investigated in RCC cell lines (786-O, A498) and in two 2D ccRCC-derived primary cultures and three 3D ccRCC air-liquid interface models.
RESULTS
NNMT protein was overexpressed in primary ccRCC (p = 1.32 × 10
CONCLUSIONS
Since efficient glutamine utilisation, which is essential for ccRCC tumours, depends on NNMT, small-molecule NNMT inhibitors provide a novel therapeutic strategy for ccRCC and act as sensitizers for combination therapies.
