International audience. Aims: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme in oxidative phosphorylation and substrate of sirtuins and poly-ADP ribose polymerases, enzymes critical for cardiac remodeling post-MI. Decreased NAD+ is reported in several heart failure models with paradoxically an upregulation of nicotinamide riboside kinase 2, which uses nicotinamide riboside (NR) as substrate in an NAD+ biosynthetic pathway. We hypothesized that stimulating nicotinamide riboside kinase 2 pathway by NR supplementation exerts cardioprotective effects.Methods and results: MI was induced by LAD ligation in 2-3-month-old male mice. NR was administered daily (1 µmole/g body weight) over 7 days. RT-PCR showed a 60-fold increase in nicotinamide riboside kinase 2 expression 4 days post-MI with a 60% drop in myocardial NAD+ and overall survival of 61%. NR restored NAD+ levels and improved survival to 92%. Assessment of respiration in cardiac fibers revealed mitochondrial dysfunction post-MI, and NR improved complexes II and IV activities and citrate synthase activity, a measure of mitochondrial content. Additionally, NR reduced elevated PARP1 levels and activated a type 2 cytokine milieu in the damaged heart, consistent with reduced early inflammatory and pro-fibrotic response.Conclusion: Our data show that nicotinamide riboside could be useful for MI management.
