RESUMEN
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is one of the orally bioavailable NAD+ precursors and has been demonstrated to exhibit beneficial effects against aging and aging-associated diseases. However, the metabolic pathway of NR in vivo is not yet fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that orally administered NR increases NAD+ level via two different pathways. In the early phase, NR was directly absorbed and contributed to NAD+ generation through the NR salvage pathway, while in the late phase, NR was hydrolyzed to nicotinamide (NAM) by bone marrow stromal cell antigen 1 (BST1), and was further metabolized by the gut microbiota to nicotinic acid, contributing to generate NAD+ through the Preiss-Handler pathway. Furthermore, we report BST1 has a base-exchange activity against both NR and nicotinic acid riboside (NAR) to generate NAR and NR, respectively, connecting amidated and deamidated pathways. Thus, we conclude that BST1 plays a dual role as glycohydrolase and base-exchange enzyme during oral NR supplementation.

In mammals, the development of healthy offspring requires maternal care. Behavior by lactating mothers toward other individuals is an important component of maternal aggression. However, it is unclear whether fathers display aggression primed by pups (an external factor), and the protection mechanism is poorly understood. To address this question, we examined paternal aggression in the ICR mouse strain. We found that sires exposed to cues from pups and lactating dams showed stronger aggression toward intruders than did sires that were deprived of family cues or exposed to nonlactating mates. c-Fos immunohistochemistry showed that cells in both the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei (PVN and SON, respectively) in the hypothalamus of sires exposed to any cues were highly activated. However, c-Fos activation in oxytocinergic neurons was increased only in sires exposed to pup cues and solely in the PVN. In Cd38-knockout sires, the presence of pups induced no or reduced parental aggression; however, this phenotype was recovered, that is, aggression increased to the wild-type level, after intraperitoneal administration of oxytocin (OT). Specific c-Fos activation patterns induced by pup cues were not found in the PVN of knockout sires. These results demonstrate that the PVN is one of the primary hypothalamic areas involved in paternal aggression and suggest that a CD38-dependent OT mechanism in oxytocinergic neurons is critical for part of the behavior associated with the protection of offspring by nurturing male mice.

BACKGROUND: Although the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))/CD38/cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR)/Ca(2+) signaling pathway has been shown to regulate intracellular calcium homeostasis and functions in multiple inflammatory processes, its role in sepsis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether the NAD(+)/CD38/cADPR/Ca(2+) signaling pathway is activated during sepsis and whether an inhibitor of this pathway, 8-Br-cADPR, protects the organs from sepsis-induced damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham laparotomies. NAD(+), cADPR, CD38, and intracellular Ca(2+) levels were measured in the hearts, livers, and kidneys of septic rats at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after CLP surgery. Rats were also divided into sham, CLP, and CLP+8-Br-cADPR groups, and the hearts, livers, and kidneys were hematoxylin-eosin-stained and assayed for malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase activities. RESULTS: NAD(+), cADPR, CD38, and intracellular Ca(2+) levels increased in the hearts, livers, and kidneys of septic rats as early as 6-24 h after CLP surgery. Treatment with 8-Br-cADPR inhibited sepsis-induced intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, attenuated tissue injury, reduced malondialdehyde levels, and increased superoxide dismutase activity in septic rats. CONCLUSIONS: The NAD(+)/CD38/cADPR/Ca(2+) signaling pathway was activated during sepsis in the CLP rat model. Blocking this pathway with 8-Br-cADPR protected hearts, livers, and kidneys from sepsis-induced damage.

The transition to motherhood results in a number of hormonal, neurological and behavioural changes necessary to ensure offspring growth. Once motherhood is established, further neurological and behavioural changes may result in long-term memory in mothering. Recent research has shown that postpartum motherhood enhances both nurturing behaviour and oxytocin activities. The transmembrane glycoprotein, CD38, is expressed on many neuronal cells and has been shown to play a role in social behaviours through stimulating the release of oxytocin in the hypothalamus. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of reproductive experience (primi- and multiparity, dams and sires) on the degree of parental behaviour, such as retrieval. Comparisons were performed between wild-type (Cd38â(+/+) ) and Cd38 knockout (Cd38â(-/-) ) mice of the ICR strain. Multiparous Cd38â(-/-) dams retrieved pups much faster than primiparous mice, whereas there were no significant differences between primi- and multiparous Cd38â(+/+) dams. Plasma oxytocin levels were significantly increased in multiparous dams of both genotypes. In addition, oxytocin levels in the hypothalamus and pituitary were lower in Cd38â(-/-) than in wild-type mice. ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in the hypothalamus, but not in the pituitary, was slightly increased in Cd38â(+/+) dams. In an identical test, 40% of first-time Cd38â(+/+) sires showed retrieval. The time required to retrieval was shorter in second-time Cd38â(+/+) sires. Both first- and second-time Cd38â(-/-) sires showed only 10% retrieval behaviour. These results indicate that parental behaviour is improved by reproductive experience, especially in Cd38â(-/-) dams, and suggest that these effects may be a result of increased oxytocin levels.

Locally released oxytocin (OT) activates OT receptors (2.1:OXY:1:OT:) in neighboring neurons in the hypothalamus and their terminals in the posterior pituitary, resulting in further OT release, best known in autoregulation occurring during labor or milk ejection in reproductive females. OT also plays a critical role in social behavior of non-reproductive females and even in males in mammals from rodents to humans. Social behavior is disrupted when elevation of free intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and OT secretion are reduced in male and female CD38 knockout mice. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate whether ADP-ribosyl cyclase-dependent signaling is involved in OT-induced OT release for social recognition in males, independent from female reproduction, and to determine its molecular mechanism. Here, we report that ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity was increased by OT in crude membrane preparations of the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary in male mice, and that OT elicited an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in the isolated terminals over a period of 5 min. The increases in cyclase and [Ca(2+)](i) were partially inhibited by nonspecific protein kinase inhibitors and a protein kinase C specific inhibitor, calphostin C. Subsequently, OT-induced OT release was also inhibited by calphostin C to levels inhibited by vasotocin, an OT receptor antagonist, and 8-bromo-cADP-ribose. These results demonstrate that OT receptors are functionally coupled to membrane-bound ADP-ribosyl cyclase and/or CD38 and suggest that cADPR-mediated intracellular calcium signaling is involved in autoregulation of OT release, which is sensitive to protein kinase C, in the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis in male mice.

Oxytocin (OT), a neurohormone involved in reproduction, plays a critical role in social behavior in a wide range of mammalian species from rodents to humans. The role of CD38 in regulating OT secretion for social behavior has been demonstrated in adult mice, but has not been examined in pups or during development. Separation from the dam induces stress in 7-day-old mouse pups. During such isolation, locomotor activity was higher in CD38 knockout (CD38(-/-)) pups than in wild-type (CD38(+/+)) or heterozygous (CD38(+/-)) controls. The number of ultrasonic vocalizations was lower in CD38(-/-) pups than in CD38(+/+) pups. However, the difference between the two genotypes was less severe than that in OT knockout or OT receptor knockout mice. To explain this, we measured plasma OT levels. The level was not lower in CD38(-/-) pups during the period 1-3 weeks after birth, but was significantly reduced after weaning (>3 weeks). ADP-ribosyl cyclase activities in the hypothalamus and pituitary were markedly lower from 1 week after birth in CD38(-/-) mice and were consistently lower thereafter to the adult stage (2 months old). These results showed that the reduced severity of behavioral abnormalities in CD38(-/-) pups was due to partial compensation by the high level of plasma OT.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is both a coenzyme for hydride-transfer enzymes and a substrate for NAD(+)-consuming enzymes, which include ADP-ribose transferases, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, cADP-ribose synthases and sirtuins. Recent results establish protective roles for NAD(+) that might be applicable therapeutically to prevent neurodegenerative conditions and to fight Candida glabrata infection. In addition, the contribution that NAD(+) metabolism makes to lifespan extension in model systems indicates that therapies to boost NAD(+) might promote some of the beneficial effects of calorie restriction. Nicotinamide riboside, the recently discovered nucleoside precursor of NAD(+) in eukaryotic systems, might have advantages as a therapy to elevate NAD(+) without inhibiting sirtuins, which is associated with high-dose nicotinamide, or incurring the unpleasant side-effects of high-dose nicotinic acid.

While it has been assumed that osteoblasts in the human support osteoclast formation, in vitro evidence of this is currently lacking. We tested the ability of normal human trabecular bone-derived osteoblasts (NHBCs) to support osteoclast formation from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in response to treatment with either 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D) or parathyroid hormone (PTH), using a serum-replete medium previously used to support human osteoclast formation on a stroma of murine ST-2 cells. Under these conditions, NHBC did not support osteoclast formation, as assessed by morphological, histochemical, and functional criteria, despite our previous results demonstrating a link between induction of RANKL mRNA expression and NHBC phenotype in these media. We next tested a defined, serum-free medium (SDM) on NHBC phenotype, their expression of RANKL and OPG, and their ability to support osteoclast formation. SDM, containing dexamethasone (DEX) and 1,25D, induced phenotypic maturation of NHBC, based on the expression of STRO-1 and the bone/liver/kidney isoform of alkaline phosphatase (AP). PTH as a single factor did not induce phenotypic change. 1,25D and DEX induced the greatest ratio of RANKL:OPG mRNA, predictive of supporting osteoclast formation. Consistent with this, co-culture of NHBC with CD14+ PBMC, or bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC), or CD34+ BMMC precursors in SDM + 1,25D + DEX, resulted in functional osteoclast formation. Osteoclast formation also occurred in PTH + DEX stimulated co-cultures. Interestingly, SDM supplemented with recombinant RANKL (25-100 ng/ml) and M-CSF (25 ng/ml), did not induce osteoclast formation from any of the osteoclast precursor populations in stromal-free cultures, unlike serum-replete medium. This study demonstrates that under the appropriate conditions, adult human primary osteoblasts can support de novo osteoclast formation, and this model will enable the detailed study of the role of both cell types in this process.

In this study we present data supporting that most CD38 is pre-assembled in a subset of Brij 98-resistant raft vesicles, which were stable at 37 degrees C, and have relatively high levels of Lck and the CD3-zeta subunit of T cell antigen receptor-CD3 complex in contrast with a Brij 98-soluble pool, where CD38 is associated with CD3-zeta, and Lck is not detected. Our data further indicate that following CD38 engagement, LAT and Lck are tyrosine phosphorylated exclusively in Brij 98-resistant rafts, and some key signaling components translocate into rafts (i.e. Sos and p85-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase). Moreover, N-Ras results activated within rafts immediately upon CD38 ligation, whereas activated Erk was mainly found in soluble fractions with delayed kinetics respective to Ras activation. Furthermore, full phosphorylation of CD3-zeta and CD3-epsilon only occurs in rafts, whereas partial CD3-zeta tyrosine phosphorylation occurs exclusively in the soluble pool, which correlated with increased levels of c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation in the non-raft fractions. Taken together, these results suggest that, unlike the non-raft pool, CD38 in rafts is able to initiate and propagate several activating signaling pathways, possibly by facilitating critical associations within other raft subsets, for example, LAT rafts via its capacity to interact with Lck and CD3-zeta. Overall, these findings provide the first evidence that CD38 operates in two functionally distinct microdomains of the plasma membrane.
