Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential cofactor of numerous enzymatic reactions found in all living cells. Pyridine nucleotides (NAD+ and NADH) are also key players in signaling through reactive oxygen species (ROS), being crucial in the regulation of both ROS-producing and ROS-consuming systems in plants. NAD content is a powerful modulator of metabolic integration, protein de-acetylation, and DNA repair. The balance between NAD oxidized and reduced forms, i.e., the NADH/NAD+ ratio, indicates the redox state of a cell, and it is a measurement that reflects the metabolic health of cells. Here we present an easy method to estimate the NAD+ and NADH content enzymatically, using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), an oxido-reductase enzyme, and with MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) as the substrate and 1-methoxy PMS (1-Methoxy-5-methylphenazinium methyl sulfate) as the electron carrier. MTT is reduced to a purple formazan, which is then detected. We used Arabidopsis leaf samples exposed to aluminum toxicity and under untreated control conditions. NADH/NAD+ connects many aspects of metabolism and plays vital roles in plant developmental processes and stress responses. Therefore, it is fundamental to determine the status of NADH/NAD+ under stress.
Keywords: NAD+ (NAD+)Background
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important coenzyme ubiquitously found in all living cells. The balance between the oxidized and reduced forms of NAD (the NADH/NAD+ ratio) is crucial to cell survival. This ratio is an important component that indicates the redox state of a cell, important for major cellular processes like signal transduction and epigenetics, and reflects both the metabolic activities and the health of cells. NAD+ is responsible for the transfer of electrons between molecules during metabolic processes; therefore, its levels are essential for maintaining normal cellular respiratory function. Furthermore, NAD functions in modulating cellular redox status and controlling signaling and transcriptional events (Awasthi et al., 2019).
Depletion of NAD in cells is a major cause of cell death. Quantifying the generation and consumption of pyridine nucleotides, NADH and NAD+, is important to monitor enzymatic reactions or screen the modulator or product of these enzyme reactions. Pyridine nucleotides are involved in other defense and signaling reactions, such as nitric oxide production and metabolism of reactive lipid derivatives. NAD status can alter photosynthesis and plant stress responses (Dutilleul et al., 2003), suggesting that NAD content is a powerful modulator of metabolic integration (Dutilleul et al., 2005). NADH and NAD+ are also key players in signaling through reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Moller, 2001; Apel and Hirt, 2004; Mittler et al., 2004; Foyer and Noctor, 2005). NAD-consuming reactions are of importance in stress conditions for signaling in interactions with ROS and other redox components. A balance in the rates of oxidation and reduction of these nucleotides is a prerequisite for the continuation of both catabolic and anabolic processes. Therefore, the NADH/NAD+ ratio is a proxy for the metabolic state of plant cells, and determining its content under stress is fundamental for understanding stress response mechanisms.
