SIRT1 promoted NMNAT2 expression during 3T3-L1 differentiation and constitutively inhibited NMNAT1/3 expression. (a) Illustration of the subcellular localization of NMNAT enzymes. (b–d) qPCR data comparing the expression of NMNAT1 (b), NMNAT2 (c) and NMNAT3 (d) at specific time-points during adipogenesis in ShScrambled or SIRT1-depleted (ShSIRT1) (pre)adipocytes (n = 4). (e) Effect of supplementation with 1 mM NMN on total cellular NAD+ levels in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (n = 4). (f) Experimental design to test the effect of NMN supplementation on gene-expression during 3T3-L1 adipogenesis. (g) Representative images of Oil Red O (ORO)-stained ShScrambled or SIRT1-depleted (ShSIRT1) adipocytes with (+NMN) or without (−NMN) supplementation with 1 mM NMN. Scale bar, 100 μm. Images were collected at Day 6 post-differentiation and are representative of 3 independent experiments. For statistical analysis of data shown in (b–d), pair-wise comparisons were made between ShScrambled and ShSIRT1 groups for each individual time-point using the Student’s t test (n = 4). A Student’s t test was used to perform statistical analysis on the dataset shown in (e) (n = 4) (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
