The rise in aging population worldwide is increasing death from cancer, including glioblastoma. Here, we explore the impact of brain aging on glioma tumorigenesis. We find that glioblastoma in older patients and older mice displayed reduced neuronal signaling, including a decline of NTRK-like family member 6 (SLITRK6), a receptor for neurotrophic factor BDNF. This reduction was linked to the systemic decline of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) with aging, as old mice exposed to young blood via parabiosis or supplemented with the NAD+ precursor NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) reverted phenotypically to young-brain responses to glioma, with reactivated neuronal signaling and reduced death from tumor burden. Interestingly, the phenotypic reversal by NMN was largely absent in old mice undergoing parabiosis with BDNF+/- young mice and in BDNF+/- mice undergoing tumor challenge, supporting the notion that the lower NAD+-BDNF signaling in the aging brain aggravated glioma tumorigenesis. We propose that the aging-associated decline in brain NAD+ worsens glioma outcomes at least in part by decreasing neuronal/synaptic activity and increasing neuroinflammation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
