Accordingly, NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor supplementation appears to exert neuroprotective effects in ALS patients and mouse models. The mechanisms mediating neuroprotection remain uncertain but could involve changes in multiple cell types. We investigated a potential direct effect of the NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on the health of cultured induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human motor neurons and in motor neurons isolated from two ALS mouse models, that is, mice overexpressing wild-type transactive response DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) or the ALS-linked human superoxide dismutase 1 with the G93A mutation (hSOD1<sup>G93A</sup>). <b><i>Results:</i></b> NMN treatment increased the complexity of neuronal processes in motor neurons isolated from both mouse models and in iPSC-derived human motor neurons. In addition, NMN prevented neuronal death induced by trophic factor deprivation. In mouse and human motor neurons expressing ALS-linked mutant superoxide dismutase 1, NMN induced an increase in glutathione levels, but this effect was not observed in nontransgenic or TDP-43 overexpressing motor neurons. In contrast, NMN treatment normalized the TDP-43 cytoplasmic mislocalization induced by its overexpression. <b><i>Innovation:</i></b> NMN can directly act on motor neurons to increase the growth and complexity of neuronal processes and prevent the death induced by trophic factor deprivation. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our results support a direct beneficial effect of NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor supplementation on the maintenance of the neuritic arbor in motor neurons. Importantly, this was observed in motor neurons isolated from two different ALS models, with and without involvement of TDP-43 pathology, supporting its therapeutic potential in sporadic and familial ALS. <i>Antioxid.
