Ageing is associated with a decrease in cellular NAD+ levels, but how cells cope with persistently decreased NAD+ concentrations is unclear. Here, we show that subcellular NAD+ pools are interconnected, with mitochondria acting as a rheostat to maintain NAD+ levels upon excessive consumption. To evoke chronic, compartment-specific overconsumption of NAD+, we engineered cell lines stably expressing PARP activity in mitochondria, the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum or peroxisomes, resulting in a decline of cellular NAD+ concentrations by up to 50%. Isotope-tracer flux measurements and mathematical modelling show that the lowered NAD+ concentration kinetically restricts NAD+ consumption to maintain a balance with the NAD+ biosynthesis rate, which remains unchanged. Chronic NAD+ deficiency is well tolerated unless mitochondria are directly targeted. Mitochondria maintain NAD+ by import through SLC25A51 and reversibly cleave NAD+ to nicotinamide mononucleotide and ATP when NMNAT3 is present. Thus, these organelles can maintain an additional, virtual NAD+ pool. Our results are consistent with a well-tolerated ageing-related NAD+ decline as long as the vulnerable mitochondrial pool is not directly affected. By increasing NAD+ consumption in various organelles, mitochondria are revealed to act as buffers that help maintain subcellular NAD+ levels. At the same time, cells are found to be particularly sensitive to a decline in NAD+ levels originating from mitochondria themselves.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 12","pages":"2319-2337"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One potential mechanism is by activating neurons that inhibit the hunger-promoting Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons of the arcuate hypothalamus (Arc). To identify these afferents, we developed a method combining rabies-based connectomics with single-nucleus transcriptomics. Here, we identify at least 21 afferent subtypes of AgRP neurons in the mouse mediobasal and paraventricular hypothalamus, which are predicted by our method. Among these are thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)+ Arc (TRHArc) neurons, inhibitory neurons that express the Glp1r gene and are activated by the GLP-1RA liraglutide. Activating TRHArc neurons inhibits AgRP neurons and feeding, probably in an AgRP neuron-dependent manner. Silencing TRHArc neurons causes overeating and weight gain and attenuates liraglutide’s effect on body weight. Our results demonstrate a widely applicable method for molecular connectomics, comprehensively identify local inputs to AgRP neurons and reveal a circuit through which GLP-1RAs suppress appetite. Combining rabies-based connectomics with single-nucleus transcriptomics, the authors identify a neural circuit through which GLP-1 receptor agonists suppress appetite in mice.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 12","pages":"2354-2373"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most cancer cells rapidly consume glucose, which is severely reduced in the nutrient-scarce tumour microenvironment. In CRISPR-based genetic screens to identify metabolic pathways influenced by glucose restriction, we find that tumour-relevant glucose concentrations (low glucose) protect cancer cells from inhibition of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, a pathway that is frequently targeted by chemotherapy. We identify two mechanisms to explain this result, which is observed broadly across cancer types. First, low glucose limits uridine-5-diphosphate-glucose synthesis, preserving pyrimidine nucleotide availability and thereby prolonging the time to replication fork stalling. Second, low glucose directly modulates apoptosis downstream of replication fork stalling by suppressing BAK activation and subsequent cytochrome c release, key events that activate caspase-9-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis. These results indicate that the low glucose levels frequently observed in tumours may limit the efficacy of specific chemotherapeutic agents, highlighting the importance of considering the effects of the tumour nutrient environment on cancer therapy. Nam et al. show that limited glucose availability similar to the tumour microenvironment confers resistance against chemotherapeutic drugs that target DNA synthesis.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 12","pages":"2338-2353"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142712795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we show that Microviridae bacteriophages, particularly Gokushovirus WZ-2015a, are associated with food addiction and obesity across multiple human cohorts. Further analyses reveal that food addiction and Gokushovirus are linked to serotonin and dopamine metabolism. Mice receiving faecal microbiota and viral transplantation from human donors with the highest Gokushovirus load exhibit increased food addiction along with changes in tryptophan, serotonin and dopamine metabolism in different regions of the brain, together with alterations in dopamine receptors. Mechanistically, targeted tryptophan analysis shows lower anthranilic acid (AA) concentrations associated with Gokushovirus. AA supplementation in mice decreases food addiction and alters pathways related to the cycle of neurotransmitter synthesis release. In Drosophila, AA regulates feeding behaviour and addiction-like ethanol preference. In summary, this study proposes that bacteriophages in the gut microbiome contribute to regulating food addiction by modulating tryptophan and tyrosine metabolism. Castells-Nobau et al. provide insight into how bacteriophages in the gut microbiome contribute to regulating food addiction by modulating tryptophan and tyrosine metabolism in the host.","PeriodicalId":19038,"journal":{"name":"Nature metabolism","volume":"6 11","pages":"2157-2186"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142697060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
