NMN: the Dawn for Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
1. Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motion-related nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease is featured by the death of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) and manifested by progressive muscle atrophy and weakness, culminating in immobility to paralysis, with the body gradually frozen as if by ice. Patients with this disorder generally have a low survival rate and life quality. At present, there is no effective way to cure this disease, but early invention has a positive significance in improving the symptoms of patients and delaying the progression of disease. Remarkably, dietary NMN supplementation has been uncovered to be beneficial against ALS, which can enhance the motor and function of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in ALS, bringing a glimpse of hope for ALS patients. 2. The improved healthspan and reduced motor dysfunction in ALS mice post dietary NMN supplementation The median lifespan of ALS mice administrated with or without NMN is 143 days and 138 days, respectively, hinting that NMN supplementation in diet has a modest effect on lifespan extension. Relative to those without dietary NMN supplementation, NMN-treated ALS mice shows a slower motor impairment in both rotarod and hanging wire tests, with a two-week delay in dysfunction, despite no difference in body weight loss during testing period. When compared with those in the absence of dietary NMN supplementation, ALS mice administrated with NMN are more active, with increased travel distance, elevated mean speed and reduced immobile time. In addition, NMN diet prevents ALS-induced gait impairments, as manifested by the improved forelimb and hindlimb stride length in NMN-treated ALS mice. 3. The alleviating effect of NMN on the function of NMJs in ALS NMJs are one of the earliest affected site in ALS, which are benefited greatly from NMN diet. In addition to improving the length and breadth of the motor endplate, dietary NMN supplementation also ameliorates the impairment of NMJ function and reduce the semitendinosus muscle mass in ALS mice. Furthermore, NMN conspicuously elevates the innervation ratio of NMJs in ALS mice. Dietary NMN supplementation strengthens synaptic function at NMJ in ALS, while diminishing NMJ and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondrial abnormalities. With a great detail, NMN prominently increases Feret's diameter of mitochondria and restores mitochondria circularity in ALS mice. 4. Conclusion Dietary NMN supplementation can modestly extend lifespan and significantly enhance healthspan by improving motor performance and NMJ function in ALS mice, opening up new opportunities for the future treatment of ALS.

The Nuanced Role of NADPH in the Complex Landscape of Metabolic Disorders
1.Introduction Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH), also known as reduced coenzyme II, is a critical cofactor in cellular antioxidant systems and lipid synthesis, which links insulin resistance and ferroptosis of pancreatic β cells in the context of metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, playing a central role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. 2. Biological role of NADPH NADPH functions as a coenzyme essential to cellular metabolism, playing pivotal roles in various critical biological processes, such as ROS scavenging, ROS production, fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis. 3. Biosynthetic pathway of NADPH Cellular production of NADPH is facilitated through several pathways, including the pentose phosphate pathway, the citric acid cycle, and fatty acid metabolism. The dynamic equilibrium between NADPH synthesis and consumption is essential for preserving cellular redox balance and enabling a host of biosynthetic reactions. 4. The role of NADPH in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-Cells Both redox reaction and metabolic signaling can modulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, where NADPH plays a central role. It can not only serves as a metabolic coupling factor, but also acts as a custodian of β-cell integrity, delicately managing the interplay between metabolic inputs and insulin output. 5. The interaction between insulin resistance and NADPH A substantial body of evidence reveals that NADPH is critical for the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, the main contributors to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Specifically, NADPH is implicated in ROS production via NOX and is also utilized in the synthesis of new fatty acids, which contributes to the development of insulin resistance, particularly in the context of obesity-induced chronic inflammation. 6. The impact of NADPH upon the ferroptosis in the context of diabetes In pancreatic β cells, the elevated blood sugar and pro-inflammatory cytokines can trigger oxidative stress and iron accumulation to promote lipid peroxidation, thereby facilitating the ferroptosis. In return, the ferroptosis can reduce insulin secretion and beta cell mass, which is contributive to the progression of diabetes. In general, NADPH plays a dual role in ferroptosis. On the one hand, it can promote ROS generation via NOX. On the other hand, it can support antioxidant defense through glutathione regeneration. In the context of diabetes, NADPH may predominantly fuel processes leading to ferroptosis, mainly due to the enhanced activity and affinity of NOX, which however requires further research for verification. 7. Conclusion NADPH has a critical role in the complex landscape of metabolic disorders, particularly insulin resistance and ferroptosis. Regulating NADPH-related pathways may open up new opportunities for the treatment of metabolic disorders.

How to Reconcile the Axonal Degeneration Caused by NMN Accumulation with the Anti-ageing Effect of NMN
1. Introduction The NAD precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) shows a beneficial effect on ageing, yet excessive NMN accumulation may lead to axon degeneration. How to make the anti-ageing effect of NMN compatible with axonal degeneration caused by NMN accumulation is still a challenge. A preliminary discussion on this issue is conducted in this study. 2. The definition and pathological changes of axonal degeneration Axonal degeneration refers to degenerative changes in the axon as a result of direct damage to the primary or as a result of diseases such as neuronal metabolic disorders, which is a common pathological change of the nervous system. The pathological changes after axonal injury include axonal swelling, fracture, retraction and atrophy. 3. The relationship between NMN and sterile alpha and TIR motif–containing 1 (SARM1) SARM1 is a multi-functional enzyme with base exchange activity, which can cleave nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) into adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) and nicotinamide (NAM). A substantial body of evidence mirrors that the degenerative enzyme SARM1 will be bound to and be activated by NMN. Hence, failed conversion of sufficient NMN into NAD may give rise to toxic NMN accumulation and axon degeneration. 4. The specific pathway of axon degeneration NMN only induces axon degeneration in the presence of SARM1, placing the toxic accumulation on a common pathway of axon death. Notably, nicotinamide mononucleotideadenylyltransferases (NMNATs) has a broader, compartment-specific regulatory role in SARM1 activity. For instance, NMNAT2 depletion is associated with SARM1 activation in axons. In a nutshell, NMNAT2 depletion can give rise to NMN accumulation. Next, NMN binds to and activates the pro-degenerative protein SARM1, leading to rapid NAD consumption and axon degeneration. 5. The impacts of NAD precursors upon axonal health NAD precursors are likely to be safe for most people, but there is a risk for people with compromised NMNAT activity, as these supplements could cause SARM1 activation and neurodegeneration. In healthy individuals, rapid conversion from NMN into NAD can be accomplished by NMNAT2, which is conductive to the prevention of NMN toxic accumulation and maintenance of healthy neurons and axons. Yet, downregulation of NMNAT2 level or activity may result in the upregulation of NMN, thereby leading to SARM1 activation, increased axonal vulnerability and/or axon degeneration. 6. The factors for SARM1 activity SARM1 activity is regulated by a ratio between NMN and NAD. When NMN rises, partial inhibition of SARM1 is only seen at high concentrations of NAD. Inefficient conversion of NMN into NAD because of compromised NMNAT activity is the most likely scenario in which NMN can become toxic. The change in NMN level close to the physiological concentration has a much more significant impact on SARM1 activity than NAD level. A twofold increase in NAD level is not sufficient to delay axon degeneration after injury, and even higher NAD level only temporarily delays axon degeneration. 7. The interaction between SARM1 activation and ageing effect of NMN Sub-lethal/chronic SARM1 activation could increase axonal vulnerability or have a significant impact upon NAD homeostasis and important intracellular signalling pathways in neurons.It is pivotal for life to preserve NAD homeostasis. Maintaining NAD homeostasis could be a viable anti-ageing strategy. Similarly, NMNAT2 depletion increases axon vulnerability and the level of the NMNAT2 is declined with ageing. These findings signify that SARM1 and NMNAT2 may be the key factor to reconcile the axonal degeneration caused by the accumulation of the NAD precursor NMN and ageing effect of NMN. 8. Conclusion Efficient conversion of NMN into NAD is key to preventing SARM1 activation and neurotoxicity. SARM1 and NMNAT2 may be the intersection factors between axon degeneration and anti-ageing therapy.
