Soil‐derived, gut‐dominant generalist bacteria shape the fitness of folivorous larvae

iMeta, EarlyView.
Whether Lepidoptera harbor a conserved core gut microbiome has long remained contentious. Through large‐scale microbiome profiling of folivorous larvae, their host plants, and associated soils across three climatically distinct regions of China, we identify two soil‐derived generalist bacteria, Ralstonia insidiosa and Delftia sp., that colonize 97.92 ...

Bisphenol A and Its Analogs: Toxicity Analysis in Mouse and Rat Liver—A Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs are widely recognized for their use in industry and plastic manufacturing. Consequently, humans and animals are continually exposed to various substances in their daily lives. This review evaluates the hepatic toxicity of BPA and its analogs in mice and rats, with particular emphasis on molecular mechanisms ...

Boosting NAD+ with a small molecule that activates NAMPT

Nature Communications, 2019
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the rate determining step for NAD+ synthesis and is of interest as a drug target. Here the authors identify and characterize a small molecule NAMPT activator SBI-797812, elucidate its mode of ...

Transcriptome Inference and Systematic Approaches to Investigate TCM Compounds With Beneficial Metabolic Effects

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds can improve obesity by increasing energy consumption. This study aimed to identify and verify TCM compounds that promote adipose thermogenesis to alleviate obesity via transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, network pharmacology, and ...

Nicotinic Acid Restriction Enhances the Therapeutic Benefit of NAMPT Inhibition in Small‐Cell Lung Cancer Models

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Dietary NA restriction converts the effect of NAMPT inhibition from cytostatic to cytotoxic in SCLC in vivo. ABSTRACT Small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. We previously showed that nicotinic acid riboside (NAR) sustains NAD biosynthesis in vivo and compensates for NAMPT inhibition in SCLC models ...

The epigenetic landscape of skeletal muscle in response to exercise and aging

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression in response to exercise and aging, thereby supporting skeletal muscle plasticity. Acute exercise induces chromatin remodeling through histone modifications and DNA methylation, promoting the expression of exercise‐responsive genes.

Ability of metformin to deplete NAD+ contributes to cancer cell susceptibility to metformin cytotoxicity and is dependent on NAMPT expression

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
BackgroundNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is vital for not only energy metabolism but also signaling pathways. A major source of NAD+ depletion is the activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in response to DNA damage.

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...
