The NAD-Booster Nicotinamide Riboside Potently Stimulates Hematopoiesis through Increased Mitochondrial Clearance

Matthias Lütolf, Yannick Lionel Yersin, Vincent Trachsel, Bart Deplancke, Nicola Vannini, Johan Auwerx, Pedro Romero, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Martin Ehrbar, Mukul Girotra, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dongryeol Ryu, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Pernille Yde Rainer, Gennady Nikitin, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Joanna Ratajczak, Loïc Tauzin, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Federico Sizzano, George Coukos, Sonja Giger, Shanti Rojas-Sutterlin, Yang Li, Simone Ragusa

It has been recently shown that increased oxidative phosphorylation, as reflected by increased mitochondrial activity, together with impairment of the mitochondrial stress response, can severely compromise hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration. Here w ...

Pharmacological Inhibition of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerases Improves Fitness and Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Norman Lionel Moullan, Evan Graehl Williams, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Laurent Mouchiroud, Hongbo Zhang, Keir Joe Menzies, Laia Morato Fornaguera, Wei Li

We previously demonstrated that the deletion of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (Parp)-1 gene in mice enhances oxidative metabolism, thereby protecting against diet-induced obesity. However, the therapeutic use of PARP inhibitors to enhance mitochondrial f ...

NAD(+)-Dependent Activation of Sirt1 Corrects the Phenotype in a Mouse Model of Mitochondrial Disease

Johan Auwerx, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Wei Li

Mitochondrial disorders are highly heterogeneous conditions characterized by defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Pharmacological activation of mitochondrial biogenesis has been proposed as an effective means to correct the biochemical defects a ...

The activation of hepatic and muscle polyamine catabolism improves glucose homeostasis

Eija Riitta Pirinen

The mitochondrial biogenesis and energy expenditure regulator, PGC-1 alpha, has been previously reported to be induced in the white adipose tissue (WAT) and liver of mice overexpressing spermidine/spermine N (1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT). The activation of ...

In Vivo Modulation of Mitochondrial Activity Determines HSC Engraftment and Post-Transplant Survival in Mice

Matthias Lütolf, Aline Roch, Nicola Vannini, Johan Auwerx, Richardus Houtkooper, Mukul Girotra, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos

Mitochondrial sirtuins and metabolic homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The maintenance of metabolic homeostasis requires the well-orchestrated network of several pathways of glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism. Mitochondria integrate these pathways and serve not only as the prime site of cellular energy harvesting but al ...
