Abstract
The molecule NAD+ is a coenzyme for enzymes catalyzing cellular redox reactions in several metabolic pathways, encompassing glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, and is a substrate for NAD+-dependent enzymes. In addition to a hydride and electron transfer in redox reactions, NAD+ is a substrate for sirtuins and poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerases and even moderate decreases in its cellular concentrations modify signaling of NAD+-consuming enzymes. Age-related reduction in cellular NAD+ concentrations results in metabolic and aging-associated disorders, while the consequences of increased NAD+ production or decreased degradation seem beneficial. This article reviews the NAD+ molecule in the development of aging and the prevention of chronic age-related diseases and discusses the strategies of NAD+ modulation for healthy aging and longevity.

Compartmentalized regulation of NAD + by Di (2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate induces DNA damage in placental trophoblast. Redox Biol 2022; 55:102414. [PMID: 35926314 PMCID: PMC9356100 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Di (2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a wildly used plasticizer. Maternal exposure to DEHP during pregnancy blocks the placental cell cycle at the G2/M phase by reducing the efficiency of the DNA repair pathways and affects the health of offsprings. However, the mechanism by which DEHP inhibits the repair of DNA damage remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that DEHP inhibits DNA damage repair by reducing the activity of the DNA repair factor recruitment molecule PARP1. NAD+ and ATP are two substrates necessary for PARP1 activity. DEHP abated NAD+ in the nucleus by reducing the level of NAD+ synthase NMNAT1 and elevated NAD+ in the mitochondrial by promoting synthesis. Furthermore, DEHP destroyed the mitochondrial respiratory chain, affected the structure and quantity of mitochondria, and decreased ATP production. Therefore, DEHP inhibits PARP1 activity by reducing the amount of NAD+ and ATP, which hinders the DNA damage repair pathways. The supplement of NAD+ precursor NAM can partially rescue the DNA and mitochondria damage. It provides a new idea for the prevention of health problems of offsprings caused by DEHP injury to the placenta.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the safety of an extension of use of the novel food (NF) nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The assessment addresses the use of NRC in 'meal replacement products' and 'nutritional drink mixes' at levels up to 300 mg/day for the general population, and in food for special medical purposes (FSMP) and total diet replacement for weight control (TDRWC) (as per Regulation (EU) No 609/2013) at levels up to 500 mg/day in adults. Benchmark dose modelling was carried out on data from the 90-day oral toxicity studies in rats relevant to the safety assessment. Considering the lack of tolerable upper intake level (UL) for nicotinamide in infants and the narrow margin of exposure between the estimated intake in infants and the lower confidence bound of the benchmark doses (BMDL 05) estimated by the models, the Panel concludes that the safety of the NF has not been established for use in 'meal replacement products' and 'nutritional drink mixes' under the proposed conditions of use. For FSMP and TDRWC, the proposed maximum use level corresponds to an intake of 210 mg nicotinamide per day, which is below the current UL for nicotinamide of 900 mg/day for adults. The Panel considers that the NF is as safe as pure nicotinamide for use in FSMP and TDRWC. The Panel, however, notes experimental data which indicate several pathways by which intakes of nicotinamide (or its precursors), at levels that are substantially higher than the physiological requirement, might cause adverse effects. The Panel considers that further investigations are required and that a re-evaluation of the UL for nicotinamide may be warranted.

Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy agents cause short-term leukopenia during treatment and the development of secondary leukemias after recovery from the original disease. We reported that niacin deficiency in rats increases the severity of nitrosourea-induced leukopenia and the subsequent development of cancers. This study was designed to test the effects of supplementing an already high quality diet with pharmacologic levels of niacin. For a period of 4 wk, nontumor-bearing weanling Long-Evans rats were pair-fed AIN-93M diets that were niacin adequate (30 mg/kg diet) or pharmacologically supplemented (4 g/kg diet) with nicotinic acid (NA) or nicotinamide (Nam). One week after the initiation of niacin feeding protocols, ethylnitrosourea (ENU) treatment began (12 doses, 30 mg/kg by gavage, every other day). ENU treatment caused leukopenia, which was not prevented by niacin supplementation. At the end of ENU treatment, all rats were switched to a niacin-adequate diet and monitored. Within 36 wk after the start of treatment, all of the ENU-treated rats either lost 5% of peak body weight or had palpable tumors > 1 cm in diameter, and were necropsied. Supplementation with NA or Nam at 4.0 g/kg diet (combined analysis) increased the latency of the ENU-induced morbidity curve, relative to niacin-adequate controls. Morbidity could be attributed in almost all cases to some form of neoplasm, with leukemias the predominant form. In short-term studies, supplementation with either NA or Nam caused dramatic increases in bone marrow NAD(+) (1- to 1.5-fold), basal poly(ADP-ribose) (3- to 5-fold) and ENU-induced poly(ADP-ribose) levels (1.5-fold). These data show that supplementation of a niacin-adequate, high quality diet with pharmacologic levels of nicotinic acid or nicotinamide increases NAD(+) and poly(ADP-ribose) levels in bone marrow and may be protective against DNA damage.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid (NA) and nicotinamide (NAM), commonly called niacin, are the dietary precursors for NAD(+) (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is required for DNA synthesis, as well as for the activity of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1; EC 2.4.2.30) for which NAD(+) is the sole substrate. The enzyme PARP-1 is highly activated by DNA strand breaks during the cellular genotoxic stress response, is involved in base excision repair, plays a role in p53 expression and activation, and hence, is thought to be important for genomic stability. In this review, first the absorption, metabolism of niacin to NAD(+), as well as the assessment of niacin status are discussed. Since NAD(+) is important for PARP-1 activity, various aspects of PARP-1 in relation to DNA synthesis and repair, and regulation of gene expression are addressed. This is followed by a discussion on interactions between dietary methyl donor deficiency, niacin status, PARP-1 activity and genomic stability. In vitro studies show that PARP-1 function is impaired and genomic stability decreased when cells are either depleted from NAD(+) or incubated with high concentrations of NAM which is a PARP-1 inhibitor. In vitro as well as animal studies indicate that niacin deficiency increases genomic instability especially in combination with genotoxic and oxidative stress. Niacin deficiency may also increase the risk for certain tumors. Preliminary data suggest that niacin supplementation may protect against UV-induced tumors of the skin in mice, but data on similar preventive effects in humans are not available. NAM has been shown in vitro to have an antioxidant activity comparable to that of ascorbic acid. Data on niacin status and genomic stability in vivo in humans are limited and yield ambiguous results. Therefore, no firm conclusions with respect to optimal niacin intake are possible. As a consequence of oral niacin supplementation, however, NAM levels in the body may increase, which may result in inhibition of PARP-1 and increased genomic instability. More studies are needed to define an optimal level of niacin nutriture in relation to genomic stability and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Four volunteers were involved for 5 weeks of a baseline period, followed by 7 weeks of a combined supplementation of nicotinamide, zinc, and carotenoids (Nicoplex). Blood sampling and bioassays were carried out every week during the evaluation period. The supplementation of Nicoplex resulted in statistically significant increased resistance to DNA single-strand breaks induced by H2O2 (DNA retained on filter % from 46.7 +/- 1.9 to 59.4 +/- 4.3; p < 0.01), increased DNA repair 60 min after induction of damage (DNA retained on filter % from 74.6 +/- 4.8 to 88.3 +/- 4.2; p < 0.01), elevated poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity (p < 0.05), and an increased proliferative response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (p < 0.05) when compared with the levels before supplementation. However, when the same subjects were supplemented with nicotinamide, zinc, and carotenoids together with another 17 nutrients or minerals, there were no changes in DNA damage, DNA repair, or proliferative response to PHA. Through the use of a rat model, DNA repair of splenocytes 3 h after 12 Gy whole-body irradiation was significantly enhanced in rats supplemented with Nicoplex for 6 weeks (p < 0.05) and 8 weeks (p < 0.01). Comparison of Nicoplex and its components administered separately revealed that there was an additive effect on DNA repair for both single- and double-strand breaks (both p < 0.05). On the basis of the results, it is hypothesized that the enhanced effect of combined supplement of nicotinamide, zinc, and carotenoids on DNA repair depends on their diversified mechanisms of action while multinutrient supplementation may compromise the effects by inhibitory interactions including uptake and absorption.
