Description
Summary:Cellular senescence is a stress or damage response by which a cell adopts of state of essentially permanent proliferative arrest, coupled to the secretion of a number of biologically active molecules. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) underlies many of the degenerative and regenerative aspects of cellular senescence - including promoting wound healing and development, but also driving diabetes and multiple age-associated diseases. We find that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis, is elevated in senescent cells without a commensurate increase in NAD levels. This elevation is distinct from the acute DNA damage response, in which NAD is depleted, and recovery of NAD by NAMPT elevation is AMPK-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent. Instead, we find that senescent cells release extracellular NAMPT (eNAMPT) as part of the SASP. eNAMPT has been reported to be released as a catalytically active extracellular vesicle-contained dimer that promotes NAD increases in other cells and extends lifespan, and also as free monomer that acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern and promotes conditions such as diabetes and fibrosis. Senescent cells released eNAMPT as dimer, but surprisingly eNAMPT appeared in the soluble secretome while being depleted from exosomes. Finally, diabetic mice showed elevated levels of eNAMPT, and this was lowered by treatment with the senolytic drug, ABT-263. Together, these data reveal a new SASP factor with implications for NAD metabolism.
