NAD Metabolism Regulates Proliferation of Macrophages in Atherosclerosis.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol

September 2025

Department of Medicine/Division of Cardiology, University of California Los Angeles. (S.S., C.R.S., L.F., M.P., C.P., Z.Z., J.J.M., R.C.D., D.S., A.J.L.).

Background: In genetic studies with the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel, we previously identified a chromosome 9 locus for atherosclerosis. We now identify NNMT (nicotinamide -methyltransferase), an enzyme that degrades nicotinamide, as the causal gene in the locus and show that the underlying mechanism involves salvage of nicotinamide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).

Methods: Gain/loss of function studies in macrophages were performed to examine the role of NAD levels in macrophage proliferation and apoptosis in atherosclerosis.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.

Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.

Introduction Deliberative democracy is an inclusionary approach to reaching consensus decision-making through participative and representative engagement. The Democratizing Education for Sickle Cell Disease Gene Therapy Project used a deliberative community engagement model to partner with patient advocacy and research community members within the field of sickle cell disease (SCD) gene therapy to create new, accessible patient education materials (PEMs) about SCD gene therapy. Objective Develop PEMs for sickle cell disease gene therapy and study the process of deliberative community engaged research Methods A study of the experiences of a multi-disciplinary group of participants including patients, patient advocates, health professionals, gene therapy researchers, industry and government members using a deliberative community engagement model to develop new PEMs.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.

Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) preferentially localizes in the bone marrow (BM) and displays recurrent patterns of medullary and extra-medullary involvement. Leukemic cells exploit their niche for propagation and survive selective pressure by chemotherapy in the BM microenvironment, suggesting the existence of protective mechanisms. Here, we established a three-dimensional (3D) BM mimic with human mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells that resemble vasculature-like structures to explore the interdependence of leukemic cells with their microenvironment.
