Effect of NAMPT modulation in OIS-senescent IMR90 cells [invivo]

Listed in NCBI GEO

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism becomes dysregulated with age and has emerged as a targetable feature of aging and age-related dysfunction, yet the cellular contexts in which altered NAD+ homeostasis creates therapeutic vulnerabilities remain incompletely defined.

Description

Here, we identify senescence as one such context. Senescent cells retained elevated levels of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in the NAM salvage pathway yet exhibited a paradoxical reduction in NAD+ turnover, suggesting a disconnect between protein abundance and enzymatic output.

In mice, SBI-0802162 reduced circulating nicotinamide (NAM), revealing a limitation of sustained NAM salvage pathway activation and prompting the development of a combination strategy with dietary NAM supplementation. Co-administration of SBI-0802162 and NAM robustly increased tissue NAD+, suppressed select age-associated inflammatory signatures in a tissue-specific manner and preserved physical performance of aged mice.

These effects occurred alongside reductions in food intake and body weight, which were observed whether SBI-0802162 and NAM were administered voluntary in the diet or by oral gavage. Together, these findings identify elevated NAMPT coupled with reduced NAD+ turnover as a metabolic vulnerability in senescent cells and support combined NAMPT activation with dietary NAM as a novel strategy to restore NAD+ homeostasis and improve age-associated inflammation.
