Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature in neurodegeneration and aging. We identify mitochondrial dysfunction in xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA), a nucleotide excision DNA repair disorder with severe neurodegeneration, in silico and in vivo. XPA-deficient cells show defective mitophagy with excessive cleavage of PINK1 and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. The mitochondrial abnormalities appear to be caused by decreased activation of the NAD(+)-SIRT1-PGC-1α axis triggered by hyperactivation of the DNA damage sensor PARP-1. This phenotype is rescued by PARP-1 inhibition or by supplementation with NAD(+) precursors that also rescue the lifespan defect in xpa-1 nematodes. Importantly, this pathogenesis appears common to ataxia-telangiectasia and Cockayne syndrome, two other DNA repair disorders with neurodegeneration, but absent in XPC, a DNA repair disorder without neurodegeneration. Our findings reveal a nuclear-mitochondrial crosstalk that is critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial health.

  • Possible causes of reduced cellular NAD+ during aging include increased consumption by PARPs and CD38 and reduced production, as evidenced by reduced eNAMPT in aged mice and humans.

    “Possible explanations for reduced cellular NAD+ during aging include increased NAD+ consumption by PARPs and CD38 (Camacho-Pereira et al., 2016; Fang et al., 2014) and reduced NAD+ production, such as that evidenced by reduced eNAMPT in the aged mice and humans (Yoshida et al., 2019).”

  • NAD+ depletion occurs in accelerated aging diseases with neurodegeneration, including ataxia telangiectasia, xeroderma pigmentosum group A, and Cockayne syndrome.

    “Several accelerated aging diseases exhibit neurodegeneration, including ataxia telangiectasia (AT), xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA), and Cockayne syndrome (CS). NAD+ depletion has been shown in both C. elegans and brain tissues from mouse models of AT, XPA, and CS.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
