The Mitochondrial NAD Transporter SLC25A51 in Adipocytes Regulates Adipose Tissue Mitochondrial Function and Systemic Metabolism During Aging [PDF]
We revealed the pathophysiological significance and therapeutic potential of adipocyte mitochondrial NAD transporter, namely solute carrier family 25 member 51 (SLC25A51), in age‐associated metabolic diseases, particularly adipose tissue mitochondrial function, obesity, and insulin resistance, by analyzing adipocyte‐specific Slc25a51 knockout (ASKO ...

Timing of NAD Deficiency During Organogenesis Dictates Defect Type and Penetrance [PDF]
Pregnant mice on a vitamin B3‐free and tryptophan‐limited diet have embryos with Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder, characterized by malformations and/or death. We longitudinally tracked the maternal NAD metabolome, embryo growth, and malformation occurrence. Mice with lower NAD Salvage Pathway metabolite levels and minimal levels of derived excretion

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and caffeine increase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), transiently modulate bioenergetic functions, and change the expression of NAD‐synthesizing, recycling, or degrading genes in dermal fibroblasts or induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‐derived neural progenitors and astrocytes from late‐onset Alzheimer's disease ...

CD38 Drives Progress of Osteoarthritis by Affecting Cartilage Homeostasis
CD38 is a membrane‐bound protein. This study primarily implicates CD38 as an important regulator of chondrogenic differentiation. Inhibition of CD38 demonstrated protection against cartilage degeneration, which suggests that CD38 could be a potential therapeutic target for OA.

CD38 inhibitor 78c increases mice lifespan and healthspan in a model of chronological aging
The NADase CD38 plays a key role in age‐related NAD decline. The CD38 inhibitor 78c increases lifespan and healthspan of naturally aged male mice. The increase in median and maximal lifespan was about 10%. Abstract Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels decline during aging, contributing to physical and metabolic dysfunction.

Increased IDO activity towards de novo nicotinamide synthesis is a hallmark of alternatively activated macrophages. IDO upregulation in alternatively activated macrophages may be an attempt to compensate for insufficient NAD availability. Manipulation of nicotinamide metabolism may shift macrophage metabolism, thereby providing a therapeutic approach ...

The homospermidine synthases from P. aeruginosa and B. viridis, as well as their single‐residue variants, are compared based on crystal structures and activity assays. A high structural similarity is demonstrated, suggesting the equivalent involvement of relevant residues in the reaction mechanism and catalytic dependence on cation–π interaction ...

Abstract Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is crucial for cell energy metabolism and many signalling processes. Recently, we proved the role of ecto‐enzymes in controlling adenine nucleotide–dependent pathways during calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).

The essential schistosome tegumental ectoenzyme SmNPP5 can block NAD-induced T cell apoptosis
Infection with intravascular platyhelminths of the genus Schistosoma can result in the debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Schistosomes (blood flukes) can survive in the host for many years.
