项目摘要

Project summary We are working on new in vivo methods to study the intermediary metabolite nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is critical for cellular metabolism and health, and its decreased steady-state levels have been linked to human pathologies such as neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. NAD+ concentrations are highly compartmentalized by cell type, subcellular localization, and its protein- bound or free fractions. A lack of methods that can monitor free NAD+ in cells with spatial and temporal information has hindered our learning about the relevant pools, threshold concentrations, and fluctuations that NAD+ may undergo leading to disease onset. This precludes our ability to identify treatments or approaches to intervene before NAD+ levels are misregulated. In particular, there are no genetically-encoded methods for in vivo mitochondrial NAD+ measurements. Free mitochondrial NAD+ is required for cellular respiration, and diminished levels due to genetics, age, or infection can promote reductive metabolism. Thus, to address this gap we will improve the brightness (Aim 1) of a variant of the current NAD+ sensor, which is able to monitor free mitochondrial NAD+ in cells. We will also generate a series of constructs that will be used to test a new approach for improving the dynamic range of fluorescent readout (Aim 2). Together, data from these the aims will identify a feasible method to robustly obtain free mitochondrial NAD+ measurements in vivo.

项目摘要我们正在研究新的体内方法，以研究中介代谢物烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸（NAD+）。 NAD+对于细胞代谢和健康至关重要，其稳态降低一直是与人类病理有关，例如神经变性，心血管疾病，代谢综合征和癌症。 NAD+浓度通过细胞类型，亚细胞定位及其蛋白质 - 绑定或自由分数。缺乏可以在空间和时间上监测细胞中的自由nAD+的方法信息阻碍了我们对相关池，阈值浓度和波动的学习 NAD+可能会导致疾病发作。这排除了我们识别治疗或方法的能力在NAD+水平之前进行干预。特别是，没有遗传编码的方法体内线粒体NAD+测量。细胞呼吸需要游离线粒体NAD+，并且由于遗传学，年龄或感染而导致的水平降低会促进还原代谢。因此，解决这个差距我们将提高当前NAD+传感器变体的亮度（AIM 1），该变体能够自由监视细胞中的线粒体NAD+。我们还将生成一系列构造，这些结构将用于测试一种新方法用于改善荧光读数的动态范围（AIM 2）。从这些目的共同确定的数据将确定一种可行的方法，可以在体内获得自由线粒体NAD+测量值。
