Administration of nicotinamide does not increase platelet levels in mice

Abstract: Elucidating ways to enhance megakaryopoiesis in vivo would have therapeutic applications for thrombocytopenia and transfusion medicine. Nicotinamide has been shown to enhance endomitosis in megakaryocytes cultured in vitro, suggesting that it may be beneficial for the production of platelets in culture. We hypothesized that regular injections of nicotinamide in mice would also increase platelets in vivo. However, we found that platelet counts were reduced by about 25% with daily injections of nicotinamide. Alt… Show more

“…Although NAM has been shown to increase the homing of haematopoietic progenitors and to enhance platelet production in vitro 239,240 , NAM supplementation does not enhance haematopoiesis in vivo 238,241 . These differences between the effects of NAM and NR may be due to the tissue-specific preferences for NAD + precursors.…”

“…We chose a NAD + -boosting strategy because it has been characterized as a means of activating the SIRT1 axis via the induction of the mitochondrial stress response in the context of aging, liver, and muscle regeneration (Imai et al, 2000;Belenky et al, 2007;Cantó et al, 2012;Mouchiroud et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2016). Interestingly, the NAD + precursor nicotinamide (NAM) has been shown to increase the homing of hematopoietic progenitors and to enhance platelet formation in vitro (Giammona et al, 2009;Peled et al, 2012;Horwitz et al, 2014), but efforts to use NAM supplementation to enhance hematopoiesis in vivo have failed (Konieczna et al, 2013). Here we reveal the ability of a different NAD + -boosting agent, nicotinamide riboside (NR), to reduce mitochondrial potential in HSCs and enhance hematopoiesis in vivo via activation of autophagy, increased mitochondrial clearance, and increased proliferative asymmetry in LT-HSCs through the NR-Nrk1/2-NMN axis.…”

“…To our knowledge, the only derivative of vitamin B 3 tested thus far for its haematopoietic effects was nicotinamide. Although NA stimulated polyploidization of megakaryocytes in vitro, regular injections of this compound to C57Bl/6 mice did not result in an increase of the platelet counts in the blood 32 34 . Likewise, as reported by Fu and co-workers, prolonged survival of the lethally irradiated CD2F1 mice induced by application of a naturally occurring analogue of somatostatin (SOM230) was not associated with mitigation of the radiation-induced haematopoietic depression 29 .…”
