Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme regulating cellular energy metabolism across all species. Recent studies have shown the pleiotropic roles of adipose tissue NAD+ biology in adipose tissue and whole-body metabolism. The major purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that adipose tissue NAD+ biosynthesis, mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), is a physiological regulator of whole-body metabolic flexibility. To this end, we analyzed adipocyte-specific Nampt knockout (ANKO) mice and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) biopsy samples obtained from human subjects. We found ANKO mice preferably utilized glucose substrate during the light period or after prolonged fasting. In contrast, ANKO mice had marked decreases in stimulation of glucose oxidation and suppression of fat oxidation during the postprandial status despite hyperinsulinemia. Data obtained from RNA-sequencing of WAT suggest that loss of NAMPT causes inflammation, oxidative stress, defective fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in WAT, key features of obesity and metabolic inflexibility. We also found WAT NAD+ concentration was decreased in people with obesity and insulin resistance compared with those who were non-obese and insulin-sensitive. In addition, bariatric surgery-induced 20% weight loss increased WAT NAD+ concentration in people with obesity. Taken together, our results reveal the importance of adipose tissue NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis in regulating whole-body metabolic flexibility. Our results also provide translational and clinical insight into adipose tissue NAD+ biology in obesity and whole-body metabolic health.

Project description:Calorie restriction (CR) is one of the most robust means to improve health and survival in model organisms. CR imposes a metabolic program that leads to increased stress resistance and delayed onset of chronic diseases, including cancer. In rodents, CR induces the upregulation of two NADH-dehydrogenases, namely NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (Nqo1) and cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (Cyb5r3), which provide electrons for energy metabolism. It has been proposed that this upregulation may be responsible for some of the beneficial effects of CR, and defects in their activity are linked to aging and several age-associated diseases. However, it is unclear whether changes in metabolic homeostasis solely through up-regulation of these NADH-dehydrogenases have a positive impact on health and survival. We generated a mouse that overexpresses both metabolic enzymes leading to phenotypes that resemble aspects of CR including a modest increase in lifespan, greater physical performance, a decrease in chronic inflammation, and importantly, protection against carcinogenesis, one of the main hallmarks of CR. Furthermore, these animals showed an enhancement of metabolic flexibility and a significant upregulation of the NAD+/sirtuin pathway. The results highlight the importance of these NAD+ producers for the promotion of health and extended lifespan.

Project description:NAD besides its key role in cellular metabolism can serve as an alternative 5’ cap at several short non-coding RNAs. However, the function of the NAD cap remains elusive. Here, we investigate NAD capping of RNAs upon HIV-1 infection, which is associated with intracellular pellagra – depletion of NAD/NADH cellular pool. We applied NAD captureSeq on HIV-1 infected/noninfected cells and we revealed that four snRNAs (U1, U4ATAC, U5E and U7) and four snoRNAs (snord3G, snord102, snorA50A and snord3B) lost NAD cap upon HIV-1 infection. Interestingly, U1 snRNA was previously shown to be essential for HIV-1 replication. We provide evidence that the NAD cap reduces the stability of the U1 - HIV-1 pre-mRNA duplex. The importance of NAD RNA cap in HIV-1 infection was further supported by NAD decapping enzyme DXO overexpression, which led to increase in HIV-1 infectivity. This is the first example of NAD cap function in mammalian cells and suggests a general role of non-canonical RNA caps in antiviral innate immunity response.

Project description:We developed a Copper-free, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (SPAAC) to capture NAD-RNAs without RNA degradation. We examined the specificity of CuAAC and SPAAC reactions towards NAD+ vs. m7G, and found that both prefer NAD+ but also act on m7G. We show that m7G-capped RNA can be immuno-depleted, allowing for the specific identification of NAD-RNA via the SPAAC reaction and sequencing, which we name SPAAC-NAD-seq. Subjecting Arabidopsis RNA to both the original NAD captureSeq and SPAAC-NAD-seq, we found that more NAD+-capped RNA was identified by the latter, particularly those with low abundance. This led to the discovery of new gene ontology terms such as starch biosynthsis, intracellular protein transport and response to cadmium stress associated with genes that produce NAD-RNA. Furthermore, reads were uniformly distributed along gene bodies, which suggested that SPAAC-NAD-seq retained full-length sequence information. SPAAC-NAD-seq enables specific and efficient discovery of NAD-RNA in prokaryotes, and when combined with m7G-RNA depletion, in eukaryotes.

Project description:RNA polymerase II transcripts receive a protective 5ʹ m7G cap early during transcription. An alternative cap can be acquired when RNA pol II initiation uses the redox cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to generate NAD-capped RNAs. The biology of mammalian NAD-RNAs, including its turnover and physiological roles are not completely understood. Here we identify NUDT12 as a cytosolic decapping enzyme for NAD-RNAs. Structural, biochemical and functional studies reveal how homodimerization modulates specificity of NUDT12 for NAD-RNAs as substrate. NUDT12 is localized within a few discrete cytoplasmic granules that are distinct from P-bodies. We identity Bleomycin hydrolase (BLMH) as a factor that associates with NUDT12 in a large ~600 kDa dodecamer complex, and we demonstrate that BLMH is required for correct localization of NUDT12 into these granules. This complex is functional in human cell cultures, as artificial tethering of BLMH to a reporter mRNA results in downregulation of reporter expression, similar to that seen with tethering of NUDT12. Analysis of mouse liver transcriptome from the Nudt12 knockout mouse reveals that a select set of RNAs are regulated, including a significant upregulation of circadian clock transcripts. Given that NAD biosynthesis is under circadian control, our study points to a physiological role for the cytosolic surveillance of NAD-RNAs.

Project description:The 5’ end of a eukaryotic mRNA generally has a methyl guanosine cap (m7G cap) that not only protects the mRNA from degradation but also mediates almost all other aspects of gene expression. Some RNAs in E. coli, yeast, and mammals were recently found to contain an NAD+ cap at their 5’ ends. Here we report development of a new method – NAD tagSeq – for transcriptome-wide identification and quantification of NAD+-capped RNAs (NAD-RNAs). The method uses first an enzymatic reaction and then a click chemistry reaction to label NAD-RNAs with a synthetic RNA tag. The tagged RNA molecules can be enriched and directly sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. NAD tagSeq not only allows more accurate identification and quantification of NAD-RNAs but can also reveal sequences of whole NAD-RNA transcripts. Using NAD tagSeq, we found that NAD-RNAs in Arabidopsis are mostly produced from a few thousand protein-coding genes, with over 60% of them from fewer than 200 genes. The top 2,000 genes that were found to produce the highest numbers of NAD-RNAs were enriched in the gene ontology terms of responses to oxidative stress and other stresses, photosynthesis, and protein synthesis. For some Arabidopsis genes, over 10% of their transcripts could be NAD-capped. The NAD-RNAs in Arabidopsis have similar overall sequence structures to their canonical m7G-capped mRNAs. The identification and quantification of NAD-RNAs and revealing their sequence features provide essential steps toward understanding functions of NAD-RNAs.

Project description:The goal of the microarray was to investigate the transcriptome changes induced by exogenous NAD+ in the wild-type Col-0 plants. Results showed that exogenous NAD+-induced dramatic transcriptional changes in Arabidopsis. Particularly, a large group of salicylic acid pathway genes including NPR1 and its traget genes were induced by NAD+, whereas the jasmonic acid/ethylene pathway defense marker gene PDF1.2 was inhibited by NAD+ treatment. In addition, a group of the pathogen-associated molecular pattern pathway genes were also induced by exogenous NAD+. These results indicate that exogenous NAD+ induces defense pathways against (hemi)biotrophic pathogens but suppresses defense against necrotrophs. Two to three replicates with leaves from 8-12 plants per sample were collected at 0, 4, and 24 hr after NAD+ treatment. Leaf tissues were collected as the control at 0 hr, and NAD+-treated leaf tissues were collected at 4 and 24 hr. After extraction, RNA concentration was determined on a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Thermofisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and sample quality was assessed using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Equal amount of RNA from the biological replicates were used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable cell growth arrest that is implicated in tissue aging and cancer. Senescent cells are characterized by an upregulation of proinflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokines and chemokines, which is termed as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). NAD+ metabolism plays a critical role in both tissue aging and cancer. However, the role of NAD+ metabolism in regulating the SASP is not well understood. Here we show that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD+ salvage pathway, governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP during senescence. In contrast to downregulation of NAMPT during replicative senescence, NAMPT is upregulated during oncogene-induced senescence. NAMPT selectively regulates proinflammatory, but not immunosuppressive, SASP. NAMPT is regulated by HMGA1 through a distal enhancer element during senescence. HMGA1/NAMPT/NAD+ signaling axis promotes proinflammatory SASP through enhancing glycolysis and mitochondria respiration. Mechanistically, HMGA1/NAMPT promotes proinflammatory SASP through NAD+-mediated suppression of AMPK kinase, which suppresses p53-mediated inhibition of p38MAPK to enhance NFb activity. SASP regulation by NAD+ metabolism is independent of senescence-associated cell growth arrest. An increase in NAD+ levels is sufficient to convert SASP from low to high levels during replicative senescence. Together, we conclude that NAD+ metabolism governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP. Given the tumor promoting effects of proinflammatory SASP, our results suggest that anti-ageing dietary NAD+ augmentation should be administered with precision.
