Endothelial C/EBPβ/AEP Pathway Drives Vascular Deterioration and Systemic Aging

ABSTRACT: Age-related microvascular dysfunction disrupts nutrient homeostasis and waste clearance, leading to organ failure. However, a critical gap remains in our understanding of the specific molecular drivers of vascular deterioration and how they orchestrate organism-wide aging. Here, we identify progressive activation of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ)/asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) pathway in aging vascular endothelial cells contributes to vascular degeneration and lifespan reduction. Endothelial-specific C/EBPβ or AEP overexpression accelerated vascular aging and shortened lifespan in mice. Mechanistically, AEP mediates proteolytic cleavage of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidised form, NAD+) biosynthesis, resulting in systemic NAD⁺ depletion and senescence that elicits both central and peripheral vascular dysfunction and ultimately systemic aging. Genetic ablation of AEP or expression of AEP-resistant NAMPT N136A mutant significantly ameliorated vascular aging and extended lifespan in endothelial-specific Tie 2-C/EBPβ transgenic mice. Pharmacologically, AEP inhibitor CP#11A or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation alleviated age-related vascular decline, with CP#11A showing superior efficacy. These findings support a model in which endothelial senescence contributes to vascular dysfunction and systemic aging mediated by C/EBPβ/AEP signaling, and establish C/EBPβ/AEP as a therapeutic target to preserve vascular integrity and mitigate systemic frailty in aging populations.

The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) in hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation and self-renewal, as well as insult-induced differentiation, decrease markedly with age, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these declines remain unclear. Here we show that levels of NAD+ and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, decrease with age in the hippocampus. Ablation of Nampt in adult NSPCs reduced their pool and proliferation in vivo. The decrease in the NSPC pool during aging can be rescued by enhancing hippocampal NAD+ levels. Nampt is the main source of NSPC NAD+ levels and required for G1/S progression of the NSPC cell cycle. Nampt is also critical for oligodendrocytic lineage fate decisions through a mechanism mediated redundantly by Sirt1 and Sirt2. Ablation of Nampt in the adult NSPCs in vivo reduced NSPC-mediated oligodendrogenesis upon injury. These phenotypes recapitulate defects in NSPCs during aging, implicating Nampt-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis as a mediator of these age-associated functional declines. Total RNA obtained from neurospheres derived from postnatal hippocampi subjected to 48 hours in vitro of incubation with Nampt-specific inhibitor FK866 (10 nM, 4 samples) or vehicle (DMSO, 1:1000, 4 samples).

Lung endothelial cells (MLECs) from knock-in mouse model with or without the causative HGPS LmnaG609G mutation

Project description:Vascular dysfunction is one of the typical characteristics of aging, but its contributing roles to systemic aging and the therapeutic potential is lacking experimental evidence. Accumulating data suggest that the mechanisms underlying aging are similar to those governing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a premature aging disease, in which affected patients succumb to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Here, we generated a knock-in mouse model with the causative HGPS LmnaG609G mutation, called progerin. We crossed Lmnaf/f mice with a Tie2-Cre line to get Lmnaf/f;TC mice, which exhibit defective microvasculature and neovascularization, accelerated aging and shortened lifespan. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of murine lung endothelial cells (MLECs) revealed a significant upregulation of inflammatory response. These data support endothelial dysfunction as a primary trigger of systemic aging and highlight gene therapy as a potential strategy for the clinical treatment of HGPS and age-related vascular dysfunction.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide, a key NAD+ precursor, treats the pathophysiology of diet- and age-induced diabetes

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become an epidemic in our modern lifestyle, likely due to calorie-rich diets overwhelming our adaptive metabolic pathways. One such pathway is mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, and the NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1. Here we show that NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis is severely compromised in metabolic organs by high-fat diet (HFD). Strikingly, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a product of the NAMPT reaction and a key NAD+ intermediate, ameliorates glucose intolerance by restoring NAD+ levels in HFD-induced T2D mice. NMN also enhances hepatic insulin sensitivity and restores gene expression related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and circadian rhythm, partly through SIRT1 activation. Furthermore, NAD+ and NAMPT levels show significant decreases in multiple organs during aging, and NMN improves glucose intolerance and lipid profiles in age-induced T2D mice. These findings provide critical insights into a novel intervention against diet- and age-induced T2D. 4 regular chow fed mice (RC1-4) vs 4 high-fat diet fed (HFD) (HFD1a-4a) mice were analyzed on one chip (Chip-A). 4 HFD mice (HFD1b-4b) vs 4 HFD-NMN treated mice (NMN1-4) were examined on the other chip (Chip-B).

Immune cell infiltration into brain tumor microenvironment is mediated by Rab27-regulated vascular wall integrity

Project description:Aggressive brain tumors often exhibit immunologically ‘cold’ microenvironment, where the vascular barrier impedes effective immunotherapy in poorly understood ways. Tumor vasculature also plays a pivotal role in immunoregulation and antitumor immunity. Here we show that small GTPase Rab27 controls the vascular morphogenesis and permeability for blood content and immune effectors. Thus, in Rab27a/b double knock out (Rab27-dKO) mice, the brain vasculature is abnormally scarce while the blood vessels become dysmorphic and hyperpermeable in the context of brain tumors, including syngeneic glioblastoma. These defects are reflected in rearrangements of endothelial cell subpopulations with underlying diminution of venous endothelial subtype along with changes in gene and protein expression. Notably, Rab27-dKO brain endothelial cells exhibit deficient tight junctions, whereby they enable large-scale extravasation of cytotoxic T cells into the tumor mass. We show that Rab27-regulated vascular T cell infiltration can be exploited to enhance adoptive T cell therapy in syngeneic brain tumors.

The NAMPT/SIRT7/SOD2 axis regulates alveolar progenitor cell renewal and pulmonary fibrosis [scRNA-seq]

Project description:We employed single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10x Genomics platform to investigate the role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), a key enzyme in NAD+ biosynthesis, in AT2 cells in the lung. NAMPT has been implicated in regulating stem cell function, mitochondrial bioenergetics, apoptosis, and senescence in neurodegenerative diseases, endothelial cells, and human iPS cells. Single-cell lung suspensions were prepared from Nampt AT2 conditional knockout and control mice at day 0 and day 4 post-bleomycin injury. scRNA-seq was performed on FACS-sorted Epcam+ and CD45+ live cells, and purified cells were clustered to evaluate NAMPT function in AT2 and immune cells.

G-CSF/NAMPT signaling drives neutrophil dysfunction and enhances bacterial infection susceptibility in cancer patients

Project description:Despite advancements in cancer therapies, bacterial complications remain a major challenge, delaying treatment and worsening outcomes. While immunosuppressive therapies and prolonged hospitalizations contribute, they do not fully explain the elevated infection risk in cancer patients. Here we show that tumors producing high levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) promote the persistence of Gram-negative pathogens in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We identify tumor-driven activation of the nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) signaling axis in neutrophil progenitors, resulting in impaired phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular traps formation, accelerated neutrophil aging, and buildup of tissue-damaging neutrophil subsets. This disrupts lung tissue integrity and facilitates bacterial persistence. Importantly, targeting the G-CSF-NAMPT pathway prevents the generation of dysfunctional neutrophils and improves bacterial clearance in vivo. Our findings reveal tumor-induced, NAMPT-dependent neutrophil reprogramming as a central driver of compromised antimicrobial defenses in cancer. Therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating G-CSF-NAMPT signaling could enhance infection control and survival for cancer patients
