In the present study, we showed that the expression of <i>Nadk</i> and <i>Nadk2</i> transcripts and NADP(H) content were lower in islets of 80-week-old (<i>aged</i>) mice than those of 8-week-old (<i>young</i>) mice. This was associated with diminished oral glucose tolerance of old mice and the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) response of islets. Knockdown (KD) of <i>Nadk</i> or <i>Nadk2</i> gene expression in NIT-1 cells impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Metabolomic analysis revealed that <i>Nadk</i> KD specifically affected purine metabolism in glucose-stimulated cells. The levels of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) were higher in KD cells than in the non-targeting control (NTC) cells. Phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was elevated in glucose-treated KD cells compared to that of NTC cells. Increased AICAR level and AMPKα phosphorylation were observed in the glucose-stimulated islets of the aged mice. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of AMPK promoted glucose-stimulated insulin release by KD cells and the aged mouse islets. It is likely that NADK is modulatory to AMPK activation in pancreatic β-cells and to their GSIS response. Enhanced AICAR formation in KD cells was accompanied by significantly increased conversion from inosine monophosphate (IMP) in a tetrahydrofolate (THF)-dependent manner. Folate supplementation augmented the GSIS response of KD cells and aged mouse islets. Taken together, these findings suggest that the aging-associated decline in NADK expression may underlie the reduced insulin secretory capacity of pancreatic β-cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":55543,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/acel.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This architectural phenomenon was associated with geographically clustered transcriptional repression across somatic chromosomes with over-representation of cell cycle genes. Senescence-stimuli was associated with a higher frequency of cells that exhibited geographically concentrated transcriptional repression relative to control cells. This phenomenon was also observed in multiple other senescence models, including replicative senescence and irradiation.

This review focuses on the ageing of lymph node stromal cells (LNSCs), which are crucial for maintaining lymph node (LN) structure and function. Age-related changes in LNs, such as fibrosis and lipomatosis, disrupt the LN architecture and reduce immune cell recruitment and function, impairing immune responses to infections and vaccinations. The review discusses the structural and functional decline of various LNSC subsets, including fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and blood endothelial cells (BECs), highlighting their roles in immune cell activation and homeostasis. Potential strategies to restore aged LNSC function, such as enhancing LNSC activation during vaccination and using senotherapeutics, are explored. Outstanding questions regarding the mechanisms of LNSC ageing and how ageing of the LN stroma might impact autoimmune disorders are also addressed. This review aims to stimulate further research into the characterisation of aged LNSCs and the development of therapeutic interventions to improve immune function in the older adults.</p>","PeriodicalId":55543,"journal":{"name":"Aging Cell","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/acel.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143424460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
