NAD+ metabolism and its roles in cellular processes during ageing

TL;DR: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme for redox reactions, making it central to energy metabolism and is also an essential cofactor for non-redox NAD+-dependent enzymes, including sirtuins, CD38 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD + homeostasis in health and disease

TL;DR: The basics of NAD+ biochemistry and metabolism, and its roles in health and disease, are reviewed, and current challenges and the future translational potential are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD+ metabolism: pathophysiologic mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NAD -regulated physiological responses to stresses, the contribution of NAD + deficiency to various diseases via manipulating cellular communication networks and the potential new avenues for therapeutic intervention are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage de novo NAD+ synthesis specifies immune function in aging and inflammation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cell-autonomous generation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide via the kynurenine pathway (KP) regulates macrophage immune function in aging and inflammation and increasing de novo NAD+ generation in immune-challenged or aged macrophages restored oxidative phosphorylation and homeostatic immune responses.

Poly(ADP-ribose): novel functions for an old molecule.

TL;DR: The addition to proteins of the negatively charged polymer of ADP-ribose (PAR), which is synthesized by PAR polymerases (PARPs) from NAD+, is a unique post-translational modification that regulates not only cell survival and cell-death programmes, but also an increasing number of other biological functions with which novel members of the PARP family have been associated.

Mammalian sirtuins: biological insights and disease relevance.

TL;DR: There have been major advances in the understanding of the enzymology of sirtuins, their regulation, and their ability to broadly improve mammalian physiology and health span, and the challenges that will confront the field in the coming years are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

PARP inhibition: PARP1 and beyond

TL;DR: What is known about the structures and functions of the family ofPARP enzymes are reviewed, and a series of questions that should be addressed are outlined to guide the rational development of PARP inhibitors as anticancer agents.

Glucose feeds the TCA cycle via circulating lactate.

TL;DR: It is found that lactate can be a primary source of carbon for the TCA cycle and thus of energy, and during the fasted state, the contribution of glucose to tissue TCA metabolism is primarily indirect (via circulating lactate) in all tissues except the brain.
