Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels decrease with aging as a result of aging-associated CD38 upregulation. Here, we established a cell model with decreased cellular NAD levels by overexpressing CD38 or treating cells with FK866, an inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase. We revealed that decreased NAD triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated degradation of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), which drove cells to undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, we showed that oxidation of the Cys44 residue to sulfonic acid in 15-PGDH led to its degradation via non-canonical ubiquitination-proteasome and autophagy pathways. Mutation of Cys44 to alanine abolished ROS-induced 15-PGDH degradation. We demonstrated that 15-PGDH silencing promoted EMT, whereas supplementation with NAD precursors increased NAD and 15-PGDH stability, and reversed the EMT process. Taken together, these results suggest that declining NAD levels contribute to age-dependent increases in cancer incidence, and repletion of NAD precursors is beneficial for increasing 15-PGDH expression.
