Project description:Senescence phenotypes and mitochondrial dysfunction are implicated in aging and neurodegeneration, and in the premature aging disease, including A-T. Loss of mitochondrial function can drive age-related decline in the brain, but little is known about whether improving mitochondrial homeostasis alleviates senescence phenotypes. Here we demonstrate impaired mitochondrial function and increased senescence growth arrest with senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in A-T patient fibroblasts, and in ATM-deficient cells and mice. We find that boosting intracellular NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside (NR) reduces senescence, suppresses neuroinflammation, and improves motor function in Atm-/- mice. We further show that the senescence responses are mediated by stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which is activated by cytoplasmic mtDNA and that NR prevents senescence and neuroinflammation through stimulation of mitophagy. Our findings suggest a pivotal role for mitochondrial dysfunction induced senescence in A-T pathogenesis, and that enhancing mitophagy is a potential therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and cerebellar ataxia. A-T is causally linked to defects in ATM, a master regulator of the response to and repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The molecular basis of cerebellar atrophy and neurodegeneration in A-T patients is unclear. Here we report and examine the significance of increased PARylation, low NAD+, and mitochondrial dysfunction in ATM-deficient neurons, mice, and worms. Treatments that replenish intracellular NAD+ reduce the severity of A-T neuropathology, normalize neuromuscular function, delay memory loss, and extend lifespan in both animal models. Mechanistically, treatments that increase intracellular NAD+ also stimulate neuronal DNA repair and improve mitochondrial quality via mitophagy. This work links two major theories on aging, DNA damage accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction through nuclear DNA damage-induced nuclear-mitochondrial signaling, and demonstrates that they are important pathophysiological determinants in premature aging of A-T, pointing to therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder. Clinical trials to identify agents to treat AD have failed, and its underlying molecular pathology and etiology remain elusive. Neuroinflammation is thought to play a key role in the progression of AD. Emerging evidence has identified lower Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels as a major factor in neurodegeneration, especially in AD. NAD+ is an important metabolite in all human cells, as it is at the convergence of many central processes in cellular and mitochondrial maintenance, including DNA repair and mitophagy (the degradation of damaged mitochondria). Our previous work found that treatment of 3xTgAD mice with an NAD+ precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR), can improve key AD features including tau phosphorylation and learning deficits in mice. Here we used the APP/PS1 AD mouse model to interrogate the effect of NR on neuroinflammation. Microarray analysis revealed major changes in pathways and genes associated with inflammation and the APP/PS1 mice had lower NAD+ levels than WT mice. Thus, seven months old mice were treated with NR for five months and their NAD+/NADH ratio increased. Brain neuroinflammation decreased as determined by decreased activation of astrocytes and microglia, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the brains of the APP/PS1 mice. NR decreased neuroinflammation by lowering the NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-κB pathways. NR also attenuated DNA damage and apoptosis in the AD mouse brains. NR dramatically decreased senescence in the hippocampus and cortex of AD mice, relative to controls. Recent studies suggest that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) activation are associated with DNA damage and senescence. cGAS-STING was activated in AD mice and decreases after NR treatment. Suggesting that NR can diminish neuroinflammation and senescence through the cGAS-STING pathway. NR treatment also greatly improved cognition and synaptic function in the APP/PS1 mice. We propose that the cGAS-STING pathway should be evaluated as a potential novel therapeutic target in AD.

Project description:Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to SC senescence during aging. Here we demonstrate the importance of cellular NAD+ level and its impact on mitochondrial activity as a pivotal switch to modulate muscle stem cell (MuSC) senescence. Importantly, the induction of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and of prohibitin proteins, subsequent to increasing cellular NAD+ with the precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR), rejuvenates MuSCs in aged mice. NR also prevents MuSCs senescence in Mdx mice, a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. Extending these observations to other SC pools and on the organism as a whole, we demonstrate that NR delays neural stem cell (NSC) and melanocyte stem cell (McSC) senescence, while also increasing mouse lifespan. Strategies that conserve cellular NAD+ could therefore be utilized to reprogram dysfunctional SCs in aging and disease to improve lifespan in mammals

Abstract:
Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle
arrest, is thought to help protect an organism from cancer, yet
also contributes to ageing. The changes which occur in
senescence are controlled by networks of multiple signalling
and feedback pathways at the cellular level, and the interplay
between these is difficult to predict and understand. To
unravel the intrinsic challenges of understanding such a highly
networked system, we have taken a systems biology approach to
cellular senescence. We report a detailed analysis of
senescence signalling via DNA damage, insulin-TOR, FoxO3a
transcription factors, oxidative stress response, mitochondrial
regulation and mitophagy. We show in silico and in vitro that
inhibition of reactive oxygen species can prevent loss of
mitochondrial membrane potential, whilst inhibition of mTOR
shows a partial rescue of mitochondrial mass changes during
establishment of senescence. Dual inhibition of ROS and mTOR in
vitro confirmed computational model predictions that it was
possible to further reduce senescence-induced mitochondrial
dysfunction and DNA double-strand breaks. However, these
interventions were unable to abrogate the senescence-induced
mitochondrial dysfunction completely, and we identified
decreased mitochondrial fission as the potential driving force
for increased mitochondrial mass via prevention of mitophagy.
Dynamic sensitivity analysis of the model showed the network
stabilised at a new late state of cellular senescence. This was
characterised by poor network sensitivity, high signalling
noise, low cellular energy, high inflammation and permanent
cell cycle arrest suggesting an unsatisfactory outcome for
treatments aiming to delay or reverse cellular senescence at
late time points. Combinatorial targeted interventions are
therefore possible for intervening in the cellular pathway to
senescence, but in the cases identified here, are only capable
of delaying senescence onset.

Project description:Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a disease characterized by genomic instability and severe neurodegeneration. It is caused by mutation in Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM) which encodes ATM, a key player in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. While many major symptoms of A-T (including hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation) are readily explained by its deficiency in repair of DSBs, the causes for the devastating cerebellar degeneration are still elusive. Here we report that in A-T, persistent unrepaired DNA damage signals from the nucleus to mitochondria (NM signaling) causing mitochondrial dysfunction leading to neurodegeneration. We find that depletion of NAD+ in A-T across species is likely due to persistent PARylation as inhibition of PARP1 restores NAD+levels.. NAD+ depletion affects the NAD+/SIRT1-PGC1α axis causing accumulation of damaged mitochondria through inhibition of mitophagy. Restoration of NAD+/SIRT1 activity through PARP1 inhibition, NAD+ supplementation or SIRT1 activation rescued the pathological and behavioral defects in A-T, suggesting a conserved role of the NAD+/SIRT1 pathway in inhibiting disease pathology. Notably, increasing the NAD+ levels extends lifespan and rescues A-T-specific behavioral defects in both C. elegans and mouse models of A-T. This is through induction of PINK1-DCT1-regulated mitophagy and DNA-PKcs-associated NHEJ DNA repair. Our results underscore the unified role of SIRT1 (Sir2.1) in mitochondrial health and highlight how Sir2.1 not only regulates mitochondrial biogenesis, but also induces PINK1-DCT1-dependent mitophagy. Our data support a model where by the two major theories on aging, DNA damage accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, conspire to promote neurodegeneration in A-T animal models and suggest that therapeutic interventions are possible in A-T and other untreatable DNA repair-deficient disorders.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal disease manifested by premature aging and aging-related phenotypes, making it a disease model for physiological aging. The cellular machinery mediating age-associated hallmarks in HGPS remains largely unknown, resulting in limited therapeutic targets for HGPS treatment. In this study, we showed that deficiencies in mitophagy impaired mitochondrial quality and contributed to cellular phenotypes associated with aging in mesenchymal stem cells derived from HGPS patients (HGPS-MSCs). Mechanistically, we discovered that mitophagy affected the aging-related phenotypes of HGPS-MSCs by inhibiting the cGAS-STING-NF-ĸB pathway and the downstream transcription of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Furthermore, by utilizing UMI-77, an effective inducer of mitophagy, we showed that mitophagy induction can alleviate aging-associated phenotypes in both HGPS mice and naturally aged mice. In summary, our results uncover that mitophagy defects mediate mitochondrial dysfunction and aging-associated phenotypes in HGPS models, highlight the function of mitochondrial homeostasis in HGPS progression, and suggest that mitophagy could be exploited as a promising therapeutic target for both HGPS and aging.

Project description:Emerging findings suggest that compromised cellular bioenergetics and DNA repair contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their role in disease-defining pathology is unclear. We developed a DNA repair-deficient 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mouse that exacerbates major features of human AD including pTau pathologies, synaptic dysfunction, neuronal death and cognitive impairment. Here we report that 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mice have reduced cerebral NAD+/NADH ratio indicating impaired cerebral energy metabolism, which is normalized by nicotinamide riboside (NR) treatment. NR lessened pTau pathology in both 3xTgAD and 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mice, but had no impact on Abeta accumulation. NR-treated 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mice exhibited reduced DNA damage, neuroinflammation, apoptosis of hippocampal neurons, and increased activity of SIRT3 in the brain. NR improves cognitive function in multiple behavioral tests, and restored hippocampal synaptic plasticity in 3xTgAD mice and 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mice. In general, the deficits and the benefits of NR were greater in 3xTgAD/Polb+/- mice than in 3xTgAD mice. Our findings suggest a pivotal role for cellular NAD+ depletion upstream of neuroinflammation, pTau, DNA damage, synaptic dysfunction and neuronal degeneration in AD. Interventions that bolster neuronal NAD+ levels therefore have potential in AD.

Project description:NAD+is modulated by conditions of metabolic stress and has been reported to decline with aging, but human data are sparse. Nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplementation ameliorates metabolic dysfunction in rodents. We aimed to establish whether oral NR supplementation in aged participants can increase the skeletal muscle NAD+ metabolome, and questioned if tissue NAD+levels are depressed with aging. We supplemented 12 aged men with NR 1g per day for 21-days in a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, crossover trial. Targeted metabolomics showed that NR elevated the muscle NAD+ metabolome, evident by increased nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide clearance products. Muscle RNA sequencing revealed NR-mediated downregulation of energy metabolism and mitochondria pathways. NR also depressed levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines. In an additional study, 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based NAD+ measurement in muscle and brain showed no difference between young and aged individuals. Our data establish that oral NR is available to aged human muscle and identify anti-inflammatory effects of NR, while suggesting that NAD+ decline is not associated with chronological aging per se in human muscle or brain.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature in neurodegeneration and aging. We identify mitochondrial dysfunction in xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA), a nucleotide excision DNA repair disorder with severe neurodegeneration, in silico and in vivo. XPA deficient cells show defective mitophagy with excessive cleavage of PINK1 and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. The mitochondrial abnormalities appear to be caused by decreased activation of the NAD+-SIRT1-PGC-1? axis triggered by hyperactivation of the DNA damage sensor PARP1. This phenotype is rescued by PARP1 inhibition or by supplementation with NAD+ precursors that also rescue the lifespan defect in xpa-1 nematodes. Importantly, this pathogenesis appears common to ataxia-telangiectasia and Cockayne syndrome, two other DNA repair disorders with neurodegeneration, but absent in XPC, a DNA repair disorder without neurodegeneration. Our findings reveal a novel nuclear-mitochondrial cross-talk that is critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial health. Mice carrying WT, or CX (Csa-/-/Xpa-/-) alleles in a C57BL/6 background were maintained under standard laboratory conditions and allowed free access to water and control casein pelleted diet (Research Diets D12450B). At 3 months of age, 3 replicates of each of the CX and WT mice were given subcutaneous interscapular injections of 500 mg of Nicotinamide riboside/kg body weight/day or the equivalent volume of saline for 14 consecutive days at 4:00 pm. On day 15, the mice were sacrificed and half of the cerebellum was harvested for purification of mitochondria, with the left half snap-frozen, homogenized, and aliquoted for RNA isolation. Total RNA extraction was done using a TRIzol Plus RNA purification kit as per manufacturer’s protocol. Quality and quantity of the total RNA was tested using the Agilent 2100 Bio-Analyzer and RNA 6000 nano kits. The RNA was labeled using the standard Illumina protocol and hybed overnight to Mouse Ref-8 Illumina arrays. The arrays were scanned using the Beadstation 500 X from Illumina.
