Abstract
Although localized prostate cancer is relatively indolent, advanced prostate cancer manifests with aggressive and often lethal variants, including neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). To identify drivers of aggressive prostate cancer, we leveraged Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon mutagenesis in a mouse model based on prostate-specific loss-of-function of Pten and Tp53 . Compared with control mice, SB mice developed more aggressive prostate tumors, with increased incidence of metastasis. Notably, a significant percentage of the SB prostate tumors display NEPC phenotypes, and the transcriptomic features of these SB mouse tumors recapitulated those of human NEPC. We identified common SB transposon insertion sites (CIS) and prioritized associated CIS-genes differentially expressed in NEPC versus non-NEPC SB tumors. Integrated analysis of CIS-genes encoding for proteins representing upstream, post-translational modulators of master regulators controlling the transcriptional state of SB -mouse and human NEPC tumors identified sirtuin 1 ( Sirt1 ) as a candidate mechanistic determinant of NEPC. Gain-of-function studies in human prostate cancer cell lines confirmed that SIRT1 promotes NEPC, while its loss-of-function or pharmacological inhibition abrogates NEPC. This integrative analysis is generalizable and can be used to identify novel cancer drivers for other malignancies. Summary Using an unbiased forward mutagenesis screen in an autochthonous mouse model, we have investigated mechanistic determinants of aggressive prostate cancer. SIRT1 emerged as a key regulator of neuroendocrine prostate cancer differentiation and a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Unlocking the Potential: Caloric Restriction, Caloric Restriction Mimetics, and Their Impact on Cancer Prevention and Treatment. Metabolites 2024; 14:418.

Abstract
Caloric restriction (CR) and its related alternatives have been shown to be the only interventions capable of extending lifespan and decreasing the risk of cancer, along with a reduction in burden in pre-clinical trials. Nevertheless, the results from clinical trials have not been as conclusive as the pre-clinical results. Recognizing the challenges associated with long-term fasting, the application of caloric restriction mimetics (CRMs), pharmacological agents that mimic the molecular effects of CR, to harness the potential benefits while overcoming the practical limitations of fasting has resulted in an interesting alternative. This review synthesizes the findings of diverse clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of CR and CRMs. In dietary interventions, a fast-mimicking diet was the most tolerated to reduce tumoral growth markers and chemotherapy side effects. CRMs were well tolerated, and metformin and aspirin showed the most promising effect in reducing cancer risk in a selected group of patients. The application of CR and/or CRMs shows promising effects in anti-cancer therapy; however, there is a need for more evidence to safely include these interventions in standard-of-care therapies.

Abstract
Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase (HDAC) that is NAD + dependent and essential for metabolism, senescence, and cell survival. SIRT1 is overexpressed in several cancers, including breast cancer. SIRT1 is a well-known target gene of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) and is closely related to ER alpha deacetylation. Transcription factor Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) share sequence homology with ERs in the DNA-binding domain, therefore, the possibility of sharing target genes between them is high. Our current research aims to gain insight into the function of ERRβ in regulating the activity of SIRT1 during the progression of breast cancer. ER-positive (ER + ve) breast cancer cells and tissues had considerably enhanced SIRT1 expression. Six potential ERRE sites were identified by analysis of the 5' upstream region of SIRT1, and both in vitro and in vivo experiments supported their presence. We found SIRT1 to be up-regulated in ERRβ overexpressed ER + ve breast cancer cells. Furthermore, our findings suggested that ectopic production of ERR and PCAF would increase SIRT1 activity. Our findings also indicated that ectopic production of ERRβ and PCAF increased SIRT1 activity. With sufficient evidence demonstrating the substantial involvement of SIRT1 in cell proliferation, migration, and colony formation capability, we were also able to illustrate the tumorigenic role of SIRT1. Overall, our findings highlight SIRT1's tumorigenic influence on breast cancer and suggest that SIRT1 inhibitors might serve as potential therapeutic drugs for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) has shown a significant global health concern with distinct pathological, genetic, and epigenetic characteristics. Its prevalence is influenced by various risk factors, including age, gender, and genetic predisposition. This study investigates the association between BC and the Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) gene polymorphism rs369274325 in the Turkish population. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples and genotyping of rs369274325 polymorphism in SIRT 1 was investigated in 200 individuals (in 100 Turkish bladder cancer patients and 100 healthy individuals as the control group.) by real-time PCR. Demographic information, smoking and alcohol consumption status was analyzed by statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson's Chi-square test. Smoking and alcohol consumption were significantly higher in BC patients compared to controls (p < 0.00018 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The genotypic distribution of SIRT1 rs369274325 did not show a significant difference between BC patients and controls (p = 0.5550). BC, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, has been linked to various gene mutations. SIRT1, involved in diverse physiological processes, is proposed to play a role in BC. However, our study did not find a significant association between SIRT1 rs369274325 polymorphism and BC in the Turkish population.

Abstract
Chondrosarcomas represent the second most common primary bone malignancy. Despite the vulnerability of chondrosarcoma cells to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) depletion, targeting the NAD+ synthesis pathway remains challenging due to broad implications in biological processes. Here, we establish SIRT1 as a central mediator reinforcing the dependency of chondrosarcoma cells on NAD+ metabolism via HIF-2α-mediated transcriptional reprogramming. SIRT1 knockdown abolishes aggressive phenotypes of chondrosarcomas in orthotopically transplanted tumors in mice. Chondrosarcoma cells thrive under glucose starvation by accumulating NAD+ and subsequently activating the SIRT1-HIF-2α axis. Decoupling this link via SIRT1 inhibition unleashes apoptosis and suppresses tumor progression in conjunction with chemotherapy. Unsupervised clustering analysis identifies a high-risk chondrosarcoma patient subgroup characterized by the upregulation of NAD+ biosynthesis genes. Finally, SIRT1 inhibition abolishes HIF-2α transcriptional activity and sensitizes chondrosarcoma cells to doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity, irrespective of underlying pathways to accumulate intracellular NAD+. We provide system-level guidelines to develop therapeutic strategies for chondrosarcomas.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a widespread malignancy among men, with a substantial global impact on morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in conventional therapies, the need for innovative and less toxic treatments remains a priority. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary plant metabolites possess epigenetic-modifying properties, making them attractive candidates for prostate cancer treatment. The present work reviews the epigenetic effects of dietary plant metabolites in the context of prostate cancer therapy. We first outline the key epigenetic mechanisms involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and miRNA or Long Noncoding RNA (lncRNA) dysregulation. Next, we delve into the vast array of dietary plant metabolites that have demonstrated promising anti-cancer effects through epigenetic regulation. Resveratrol, minerals, isothiocyanates, curcumin, tea polyphenols, soy isoflavones and phytoestrogens, garlic compounds, anthocyanins, lycopene, and indoles are among the most extensively studied compounds. These plant-derived bioactive compounds have been shown to influence DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications, and microRNA expression, thereby altering the gene expression allied with prostate cancer progression, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. We also explore preclinical and clinical studies investigating the efficacy of dietary plant metabolites as standalone treatments or in combination with traditional treatments for people with prostate cancer. The present work highlights the potential of dietary plant metabolites as epigenetic modulators to treat prostate cancer. Continued research in this field may pave the way for personalized and precision medicine approaches, moving us closer to the goal of improved prostate cancer management.

Abstract
Recent research has emphasized the interaction between the circadian clock and lipid metabolism, particularly in relation to tumors. This review aims to explore how the circadian clock regulates lipid metabolism and its impact on carcinogenesis. Specifically, targeting key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis (SREBP, ACLY, ACC, FASN, and SCD) has been identified as a potential strategy for cancer therapy. By disrupting these enzymes, it may be possible to inhibit tumor growth by interfering with lipid metabolism. Transcription factors, like SREBP play a significant role in regulating fatty acid synthesis which is influenced by circadian clock genes such as BMAL1, REV-ERB and DEC. This suggests a strong connection between fatty acid synthesis and the circadian clock. Therefore, successful combination therapy should target fatty acid synthesis in addition to considering the timing and duration of drug use. Ultimately, personalized chronotherapy can enhance drug efficacy in cancer treatment and achieve treatment goals.

Abstract
Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) is a frequent oncogenic driver of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The treatment and outcomes of KRAS-mutant cancers have not been dramatically revolutionized by direct KRAS-targeted therapies because of the lack of deep binding pockets for specific small molecule inhibitors. Here, we demonstrated that the mRNA and protein levels of the class III histone deacetylase SIRT1 were upregulated by the KRASMut-Raf-MEK-c-Myc axis in KRASMut lung cancer cells and in lung tumors of a mouse model with spontaneous KrasG12D expression. KRASMut-induced SIRT1 bound to KRASMut and stably deacetylated KRASMut at lysine 104, which increased KRASMut activity. SIRT1 knockdown (K/D) or the SIRT1H363Y mutation increased KRASMut acetylation, which decreased KRASMut activity and sensitized tumors to the anticancer effects of cisplatin and erlotinib. Furthermore, in KrasG12D/+;Sirt1co/co mice, treatment with cisplatin and erlotinib robustly reduced the tumor burden and increased survival rates compared with those in spontaneous LSL-KrasG12D/+;Sirt1+/+ mice and mice in each single-drug treatment group. Then, we identified p300 as a KRASMut acetyltransferase that reinforced KRASMut lysine 104 acetylation and robustly decreased KRASMut activity. KRASMut lysine 104 acetylation by p300 and deacetylation by SIRT1 were confirmed by LC‒MS/MS. Consistent with this finding, the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 suppressed KRASMut activity, which synergistically abolished cell proliferation and colony formation, as well as the tumor burden in KRASMut mice, when combined with cisplatin or erlotinib. Our data reveal a novel pathway critical for the regulation of KRASMut lung cancer progression and provide important evidence for the potential application of SIRT1 inhibitors and p300 activators for the combination treatment of KRASMut lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a protein involved in aging, cell protection, and energy metabolism in mammals. Recently, SIRT1 has been intensively studied in medical oncology, but the role of SIRT1 is still controversial, as it has been proposed as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of SIRT1 by immunohistochemistry in canine mammary tissues, and by Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis in different canine mammary cell lines. Our results showed a decrease in SIRT1 expression from normal mammary gland tissue, and from benign and well-differentiated malignant tumors (G1) to less differentiated ones (G2-G3). Furthermore, a shift in the subcellular localization of SIRT1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm was observed in less differentiated malignant tumors. However, further studies are needed to investigate the subcellular localization of SIRT1 in canine cancer cells and the role it may play in oncogenesis in animals.

Abstract
Introduction P53 represents a key player in apoptosis-induction in cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC) that ranks third worldwide in cancer prevalence as well as mortality statistics. Although a pro-apoptotic effect of resveratrol has been repeatedly proven in CRC cells, its pathway mechanisms are not completely understood, as there are controversial statements in the literature regarding its activation or inhibition of the counteracting proteins Sirt-1 and p53. Methods CRC cells as wild-type (HCT-116 WT) or p53-deficient (HCT-116 p53-/-) were cultured using multicellular tumor microenvironment (TME) cultures containing T-lymphocytes and fibroblasts to elucidate the role of p53/Sirt-1 modulation in resveratrol's concentration-dependent, pro-apoptotic, and thus anti-cancer effects. Results Resveratrol dose-dependently inhibited viability, proliferation, plasticity as well as migration, and induced apoptosis in HCT-116 WT more effectively than in HCT-116 p53-/- cells. Moreover, resveratrol stimulated Sirt-1 expression when administered at low concentrations (<5µM) but suppressed it when added at high concentrations (>10µM) to CRC-TME. In parallel, similar to the knockdown of Sirt-1 at the mRNA level, treatment with high-concentration resveratrol boosted the acetylation of p53, the expression of p21, Bax, cytochrome C, caspase-3, and ultimately induced apoptosis in CRC WT but not in CRC p53-/- cells. Notably, increasing concentrations of resveratrol were found to promote hyperacetylation of p53 and FOXO3a as post-translational substrates of Sirt-1, indicating a negative regulatory loop between Sirt-1 and p53. Discussion These results demonstrate for the first time, a negative reciprocal crosstalk between the regulatory circuits of p53 and Sirt-1, consequently, apoptosis induction by higher resveratrol concentrations in CRC-TME.

Abstract
SIRT1 is a member of the sirtuin family functioning in the process of removal of acetyl groups from different proteins. This protein has several biological functions and is involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, malignancy, aging, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammation. Several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to interact with SIRT1. These interactions have been assessed in the contexts of sepsis, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis, cardiac fibrosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes, ischemic stroke, immune-related disorders and cancers. Notably, SIRT1-interacting non-coding RNAs have been found to interact with each other. Several circRNA/miRNA and lncRNA/miRNA pairs that interact with SIRT1 have been identified. These axes are potential targets for design of novel therapies for different disorders. In the current review, we summarize the interactions between three classes of non-coding RNAs and SIRT1.

Abstract
Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) comprise a rare and heterogenous category of benign/malignant neoplasms with progressively increasing knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underpinning their pathogenesis, poor prognosis, and therapeutic treatment efficacy. Emerging data are pointing toward an interplay of genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to their heterogeneity and diverse clinical phenotypes. Post-translational histone modifications such as histone acetylation/deacetylation have been shown to actively participate in the pathobiology of SGTs, further suggesting that histone deacetylating factors (HDACs), selective or pan-HDAC inhibitors (HDACis), might present effective treatment options for these neoplasms. Herein, we describe the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the pathology of the different types of SGTs, focusing on histone acetylation/deacetylation effects on gene expression as well as the progress of HDACis in SGT therapy and the current status of relevant clinical trials.

Abstract
The World Health Organization has identified oncological diseases as one of the most serious health concerns of the current century. Current research on oncogenesis is focused on the molecular mechanisms of energy-biochemical reprogramming in cancer cell metabolism, including processes contributing to the Warburg effect and the pro-oncogenic and anti-oncogenic roles of sirtuins (SIRTs) and poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). However, a clear understanding of the interaction between NAD+, SIRTs in cancer development, as well as their effects on carcinogenesis, has not been established, and literature data vary greatly. This work aims to provide a summary and structure of the available information on NAD+, SIRTs interactions in both stimulating and countering carcinogenesis, and to discuss potential approaches for pharmacological modulation of these interactions to achieve an anticancer effect.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism reprogramming is an important hallmark of tumor progression. Cancer cells require high levels of lipid synthesis and uptake not only to support their continued replication, invasion, metastasis, and survival but also to participate in the formation of biological membranes and signaling molecules. Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are core transcription factors that control lipid metabolism and the expression of important genes for lipid synthesis and uptake. A growing number of studies have shown that SREBPs are significantly upregulated in human cancers and serve as intermediaries providing a mechanistic link between lipid metabolism reprogramming and malignancy. Different subcellular localizations, including endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and nucleus, play an indispensable role in regulating the cleavage maturation and activity of SREBPs. In this review, we focus on the relationship between aberrant regulation of SREBPs activity in three organelles and tumor progression. Because blocking the regulation of lipid synthesis by SREBPs has gradually become an important part of tumor therapy, this review also summarizes and analyzes several current mainstream strategies.

Abstract
The circadian clock is an evolutionary molecular product that is associated with better adaptation to changes in the external environment. Disruption of the circadian rhythm plays a critical role in tumorigenesis of many kinds of cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). Integrating circadian rhythm into PCa research not only brings a closer understanding of the mechanisms of PCa but also provides new and effective options for the precise treatment of patients with PCa. This review begins with patterns of the circadian clock, highlights the role of the disruption of circadian rhythms in PCa at the epidemiological and molecular levels, and discusses possible new approaches to PCa therapy that target the circadian clock.

Abstract
Cancer cells display pervasive changes in DNA methylation, disrupted patterns of histone posttranslational modification, chromatin composition or organization and regulatory element activities that alter normal programs of gene expression. It is becoming increasingly clear that disturbances in the epigenome are hallmarks of cancer, which are targetable and represent attractive starting points for drug creation. Remarkable progress has been made in the past decades in discovering and developing epigenetic-based small molecule inhibitors. Recently, epigenetic-targeted agents in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors have been identified and these agents are either in current clinical trials or approved for treatment. However, epigenetic drug applications face many challenges, including low selectivity, poor bioavailability, instability and acquired drug resistance. New multidisciplinary approaches are being designed to overcome these limitations, e.g., applications of machine learning, drug repurposing, high throughput virtual screening technologies, to identify selective compounds with improved stability and better bioavailability. We provide an overview of the key proteins that mediate epigenetic regulation that encompass histone and DNA modifications and discuss effector proteins that affect the organization of chromatin structure and function as well as presently available inhibitors as potential drugs. Current anticancer small-molecule inhibitors targeting epigenetic modified enzymes that have been approved by therapeutic regulatory authorities across the world are highlighted. Many of these are in different stages of clinical evaluation. We also assess emerging strategies for combinatorial approaches of epigenetic drugs with immunotherapy, standard chemotherapy or other classes of agents and advances in the design of novel epigenetic therapies.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a major health burden worldwide. Among all neoplasms, gastric cancer is the fifth most common and the third most deadly type of cancer. It is known that sirtuins (SIRTs), are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases regulating important metabolic pathways. High expression of SIRTs in the human body can regulate metabolic processes; they prevent inflammation but also resist cell death and aging processes. The seven members of this family enzymes can also play a fundamental role in process of carcinogenesis by influencing cell viability, apoptosis and metastasis. This review collects and discusses the role of all seven sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7) in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC).

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of dozens of target genes and diverse physiological processes. To precisely regulate the p53 network, p53 undergoes various post-translational modifications and alters the selectivity of target genes. Acetylation plays an essential role in cell fate determination through the activation of p53. Although the acetylation of p53 has been examined, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear and, thus, have attracted the interest of researchers. We herein discuss the role of acetylation in the p53 pathway, with a focus on p53 acetyltransferases and deacetylases. We also review recent findings on the regulators of these enzymes to understand the mode of p53 acetylation from a broader perspective.

Abstract
A photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was established for histone deacetylase Sirt1 detection based on the polyaspartic acid (PASP)-mediated redox cycling amplification and Sirt1 catalysis deacetylation-triggered recognition of the deacetylated substrate peptide, using PASP as the recognition reagent. After BiVO4 was composited with gold nanoparticles and SnS2, the photoactivity of the composite was greatly enhanced due to the matched energy band structure. Under the catalysis of Sirt1 enzyme, the acetylated substrate peptide was deacetylated to obtain a positive peptide, which was recognized by negative PASP. In addition to the recognition function, PASP also played other triple roles. First, PASP interacted with the positive peptide to form a double-stranded structure, which led to the electrode interface changing from irregular to regular, resulting in an improved PEC response. Second, PASP was involved into redox cycle amplification due to its reduction to dehydroascorbic acid. Further, it was used for repeated preparation of ascorbic acid to provide electron donors. This process enhanced the PEC response. Third, based on the matched energy band with BiVO4, PASP effectively improved the photoactivity of BiVO4. With multiplex signal amplification, the PEC biosensor showed a wide linear range (1.83-1830 pM) and high detection sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.732 pM (S/N = 3). The applicability of this method was evaluated by studying the effects of a known inhibitor of nicotinamide and the heavy metal ions of Cd2+ and Pb2+ on Sirt1 enzyme activity, and the results showed that this method not only provided a new platform for screening Sirt1 enzyme inhibitors but also provided new biomarkers for evaluating the ecotoxicological effects of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Genomic DNA damage occurs as an inevitable consequence of exposure to harmful exogenous and endogenous agents. Therefore, the effective sensing and repair of DNA damage are essential for maintaining genomic stability and cellular homeostasis. Inappropriate responses to DNA damage can lead to genomic instability and, ultimately, cancer. Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are a key regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR), and recent progress in mass spectrometry analysis methods has revealed that a wide range of metabolites can serve as donors for PTMs. In this review, we will summarize how the DDR is regulated by lipid metabolite-associated PTMs, including acetylation, S-succinylation, N-myristoylation, palmitoylation, and crotonylation, and the implications for tumorigenesis. We will also discuss potential novel targets for anti-cancer drug development.

Abstract
SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase and plays an important role in the deacetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. Many studies revealed that SIRT1 is upregulated in a variety of tumors and tightly associated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression, but the detailed underlying mechanism of the biological processes remains unclarified. In the present study, we found a nucleolar protein NOC4L, human ortholog of yeast Noc4p, which is essential for the nuclear export of the ribosomal 40S subunit and could bind to SIRT1 to inhibit SIRT1 mediated deacetylation of p53. NOC4L interacts with SIRT1 in variety of cells under nucleolar stress and directly interacts with SIRT1 in vitro. Furthermore, we determined the C-terminal of NOC4L and the catalytic domain of SIRT1 were required for their interaction. Overexpression of NOC4L did not change the protein levels of SIRT1 or p53, but increased the acetylation of p53 and promoted cell apoptosis. Additionally, NOC4L inhibited tumor cell proliferation in a p53-dependent manner and restrained tumor growth in a nude mice xenograft model. Clinically, colorectal cancer patients with the high expression of NOC4L had a better prognosis as TP53 was normally expressed, but no significant difference was observed in survival with mutant TP53. Taken together, our results identified a novel SIRT1 regulatory protein and broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanism of how nucleolar protein NOC4L regulates p53 under nucleolar stress. This research provides an insight into tumorigenesis and cell self-protection in the early stage of DNA damage.

Abstract
Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a critical nuclear deacetylase that participates in a wide range of biological processes. We hereby employed quantitative acetyl-proteomics to globally reveal the landscape of SIRT1-dependent acetylation in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells stimulated by specific SIRT1 inhibitor Inauhzin (INZ). We strikingly observed that SIRT1 inhibition enhances protein acetylation levels, with the multisite-acetylated proteins (acetyl sites >4/protein) mainly enriched in mitochondria. INZ treatment increases mitochondrial fission and depolarization in CRC cells. The acetylation of mitochondrial proteins promoted by SIRT1 inhibition prevents the recruitment of ubiquitin and LC3 for mitophagic degradation. We then found that, SIRT1 inhibition increases the acetylation of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) at residue K332, resulting in mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and depolarization, and ultimately CRC apoptosis. Arginine substitution of the K332 (K332R) dramatically decreases the mitochondrial Ca2+ influx, mitochondrial membrane potential loss and ROS burst induced by INZ. This finding uncovers a non-canonical role of SIRT1 in regulating mitochondrial function and implicates a possible way for anticancer intervention through SIRT1 inhibition. SIRT1 inhibition induces mitochondrial fission, depolarization and ROS burst. SIRT1 inhibition induces the mitochondrial acetylation. Mitochondrial acetylation prevents the recruitment of ubiquitin and LC3 for mitophagic degradation. SIRT1 inhibition increases the acetylation of MCU at residue K332, resulting in mitochondrial Ca2+ overload.

Emerging evidence suggests an important role for SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase in cancer development, progression and therapeutic resistance; making it a viable therapeutic target. Here, we examined the impact of resveratrol-mediated pharmacological activation of SIRT1 on the progression of HGPIN lesions (using the Pten-/- mouse model) and on prostate tumor development (using an orthotopic model of prostate cancer cells stably silenced for SIRT1). We show that precise SIRT1 modulation could benefit both cancer prevention and treatment. Positive effect of SIRT1 activation can prevent Pten deletion-driven development of HGPIN lesions in mice if resveratrol is administered early (pre-cancer stage) with little to no benefit after the establishment of HGPIN lesions or tumor cell implantation. Mechanistically, our results show that under androgen deprivation conditions, SIRT1 inhibition induces senescence as evidenced by decreased gene signature associated with negative regulators of senescence and increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of SIRT1 potentiated growth inhibitory effects of clinical androgen receptor blockade agents and radiation. Taken together, our findings provide an explanation for the discrepancy regarding the role of SIRT1 in prostate tumorigenesis. Our results reveal that the bifurcated roles for SIRT1 may occur in stage and context-dependent fashion by functioning in an antitumor role in prevention of early-stage prostate lesion development while promoting tumor development and disease progression post-lesion development. Clinically, these data highlight the importance of precise SIRT1 modulation to provide benefits for cancer prevention and treatment including sensitization to conventional therapeutic approaches.

Deniz FSŞ, Eren G, Orhan IE. Flavonoids as Sirtuin Modulators. Curr Top Med Chem 2022; 22:790-805. [PMID: 35466876 DOI: 10.2174/1568026622666220422094744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are described as NAD+-dependent deacetylases, also known as class III histone deacetylases. So far, seven sirtuin genes (SIRTS 1-7) have been identified and characterized in mammals and also known to occur in bacteria and eukaryotes. SIRTs are involved in various biological processes including endocrine system, apoptosis, aging and longevity, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, inflammation, etc. Among them, the best characterized one is SIRT1. Actually, small molecules seem to be the most effective SIRT modulators. Flavonoids have been reported to possess many positive effects favrable for human health, while a relatively less research has been reported so far on their funcions as SIRT modulation mechanisms. In this regard, we herein aimed to focus on modulatory effects of flavonoids on SIRTs as the most common secondary metabolites in natural products. Our literature survey covering the years of 2006-2021 pointed out that flavonoids frequently interact with SIRT1 and SIRT3 followed by SIRT6. It can be also concluded that some popular flavonoid derivatives, e.g. resveratrol, quercetin, and catechin derivatives came forward in terms of SIRT modulation.

Enhanced autophagy promotes radiosensitivity by mediating Sirt1 downregulation in RM-1 prostate cancer cells. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022; 609:84-92.

Abstract
Autophagy is a double-edged sword that affects tumor progression by promoting cell survival or death depending on different living contexts. The concrete mechanism by which autophagy modulates the efficacy of radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PC) remains unclear. We exposed RM-1 PC cells to X-ray and explored the role of autophagy in radiation injury. Our results showed increased apoptosis and autophagy levels in RM-1 cells after radiation. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine significantly mitigated radiation-induced apoptosis, while the enhancement of autophagy by rapamycin aggravated apoptosis. Sirt1, a member of sirtuin family, deacetylates various transcription factors to trigger cell survival in response to radiation injury. We found that radiation led to Sirt1 downregulation, which was reversed by the inhibition of autophagy. On the contrary, enhanced autophagy further diminished protein level of Sirt1. Notably, overexpression of Sirt1 by plasmid significantly alleviated radiation-induced apoptosis, but silenced Sirt1 by siRNA further induced apoptosis, indicating the radioprotective effect of Sirt1 on RM-1 cells. In summary, our findings suggested that autophagy-mediated Sirt1 downregulation might be a promising therapeutic target for PC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Several articles have assessed the prognostic significance of the expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, evidence in this field is insufficient. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic and clinical impact of SIRT1 expression in ESCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for articles on the expression of SIRT1 and clinicopathological features in patients with ESCC. A meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS Four studies with 429 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed a significant relationship between the high expression of SIRT1 and higher T-stage (odds ratio=2.39. 95% confidence interval=1.12-5.13, p=0.02), more advanced TNM stage (odds ratio=2.35. 95% confidence interval=1.20-4.60, p=0.01), and a poor overall survival (hazard ratio=1.90, 95% confidence interval=1.45-2.47, p<0.00001). CONCLUSION SIRT1 expression may be a promising prognostic biomarker for patients with ESCC.

Abstract
Background This study aims to reveal the potential impact of circWEE1 on the malignant progression of gliomas and its mechanism. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect circWEE1 levels in glioma tissues and cell lines. The relationship between circWEE1 expression and glioma metastasis was analyzed. Results After knocking out or over-expressing circWEE1, the effects on glioma cells were examined separately. Subsequently, the regulatory relationship of circWEE1 to miR-138 was detected by a dual luciferase reporter gene. In addition, we evaluated the role of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in the progression of gliomas affected by circWEE1 through a rescue experiment. CircWEE1 was significantly up-regulated in glioma tissues and cell lines. At the same time, its expression level was significantly higher in glioma patients with lymphatic or distant metastasis than in glioma patients with non-metastasis. The down-regulation of circWEE1 reduced the viability, migration, and invasion ability of T98-G cells. The expression of miR-138 is negatively regulated by WEE1, while miR-138 directly targets and regulates the expression of SIRT1. Conclusions The rescue experiment confirmed that SIRT1 is a regulator of circWEE1 in the malignant progression of glioma. In summary, the CircWEE1/miR-138 axis may regulate SIRT1 to promote malignant progression in glioma.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs), which are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent class III histone deacetylases, regulate cell division, survival, and senescence. Although sirtinol, a synthetic SIRT inhibitor, is known to exhibit antitumor effects, its mechanism of action is not well understood. Therefore, we aimed to assess the anticancer effects and underlying mechanism of MHY2245, a derivative of sirtinol, in HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells in vitro. Treatment with MHY2245 decreased SIRT1 activity and caused DNA damage, leading to the upregulation of p53 acetylation, and increased levels of p53, phosphorylation of H2A histone family member X, ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related kinase, checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1), and Chk2. The level of the breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein was also found to decrease. MHY2245 induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest via the downregulation of cyclin B1, cell division cycle protein 2 (Cdc2), and Cdc25c. Further, MHY2245 induced HCT116 cell death via apoptosis, which was accompanied by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, decreased B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) levels, increased Bcl-2-asscociated X protein levels, cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, and activation of caspases -3, -8, and -9. Overall, MHY2245 induces cell cycle arrest, triggers apoptosis through caspase activation, and exhibits DNA damage response-associated anticancer effects.

Abstract
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a member of the mammalian sirtuin family with deacetylase, deacylase, and mono-ADP-ribosyl-transferase activities. It is a multitasking chromatin-associated protein regulating different cellular and physiological functions in cells. Specifically, SIRT6 dysfunction is implicated in several aging-related human diseases, including cancer. Studies indicate that SIRT6 has a tumor-specific role, and it is considered a tumor suppressor as well as a tumor growth inducer, depending on the type of cancer. In this chapter, we review the role of SIRT6 in metabolism, genomic stability, and cancer. Further, we provide an insight into the interplay of the tumor-suppressing and oncogenic roles of SIRT6 in cancer. Additionally, we discuss the use of small-molecule SIRT6 modulators as potential therapeutics.

Abstract
Deleted in Breast Cancer 1 (DBC1) is an important metabolic sensor. Previous studies have implicated DBC1 in various cellular functions, notably cell proliferation, apoptosis, histone modification, and adipogenesis. However, current reports about the role of DBC1 in tumorigenesis are controversial and designate DBC1 alternatively as a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter. In the present study, we report that polyoma small T antigen (PyST) associates with DBC1 in mammalian cells, and this interaction leads to the posttranslational downregulation of DBC1 protein levels. When coexpressed, DBC1 overcomes PyST-induced mitotic arrest and promotes the exit of cells from mitosis. Using both transient and stable modes of PyST expression, we also show that cellular DBC1 is subjected to degradation by LKB1, a tumor suppressor and cellular energy sensor kinase, in an AMP kinase-independent manner. Moreover, LKB1 negatively regulates the phosphorylation as well as activity of the prosurvival kinase AKT1 through DBC1 and its downstream pseudokinase substrate, Tribbles 3 (TRB3). Using both transient transfection and stable cell line approaches as well as soft agar assay, we demonstrate that DBC1 has oncogenic potential. In conclusion, our study provides insight into a novel signaling axis that connects LKB1, DBC1, TRB3, and AKT1. We propose that the LKB1–DBC1–AKT1 signaling paradigm may have an important role in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis and consequently tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to find the association between SIRT1 concentration, SIRT1 rs3758391, rs3818292, rs7895833 polymorphisms and clinical manifestations of pituitary adenoma (PA). The study included 108 patients with PA and 216 healthy individuals. Using commercial kits, DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. To determine the PA and control group subjects genotypes was used real-time PCR method, for SIRT concentration measurement we used ELISA method. The statistical data analysis was completed using the “BM SPSS Statistics 20.0” software. Results: We performed statistical analysis of SNPs in the patient and healthy controls and patients’ subgroups and found statistically significant differences in rs7895833 genotype (A/A, A/G, G/G) distributions between the active PA and control groups (67.9%, 24.6%, 5.7% vs. 72.2%, 27.3%, 0.5%; p = 0.02) Also, the results showed that the rs7895833 G/G genotype is associated with about 13-fold increased odds of active PA development compared to the A/A (OR = 13.95% CI: 1.314–128.632; p = 0.028) and both A/A and A/G genotypes (OR = 12.9; 95% CI: 1.314–126.624; p = 0.028). There is ample evidence that SIRT1 in the pituitary and other target organs modifies the synthesis, secretion, and activity of hormones to trigger adaptive responses, thus we decided to include this in our study. When determining the serum concentration of SIRT1, we did not find a statistically significant difference between the PA group and the control group. SIRT1 serum level was statistically significantly higher in women with PA than in healthy control women (1.115 (3.748) vs. 136 (0.211); p = 0.008). To conclude—SIRT1 rs7895833 G/G genotype is associated with about 13-fold increased odds of active PA development compared to the A/A and both A/A and A/G genotypes. SIRT1 serum levels are higher in women with PA than in healthy women.

Abstract
In multiple types of cancer, decreased tumour cell apoptosis during chemotherapy is indicative of decreased chemosensitivity. Forkhead box K2 (FOXK2), which is essential for cell fate, regulates cancer cell apoptosis through several post‐translational modifications. However, FOXK2 acetylation has not been extensively studied. Here, we evaluated the effects of sirtiun 1 (SIRT1) on FOXK2 deacetylation. Our findings demonstrated that SIRT1 inhibition increased FOXK2‐induced chemosensitivity to cisplatin and that K223 in FOXK2 was acetylated. Furthermore, FOXK2 K223 deacetylation reduced chemosensitivity to cisplatin in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, FOXK2 was acetylated by the acetyltransferase cAMP response element binding protein and deacetylated by SIRT1. Furthermore, cisplatin attenuated the interaction between FOXK2 and SIRT1. Cisplatin or SIRT1 inhibition enhanced FOXK2 acetylation, thereby reducing the nuclear distribution of FOXK2. Additionally, FOXK2 K223 acetylation significantly affected the expression of cell cycle–related and apoptosis‐related genes in cisplatin‐stimulated cancer cells, and FOXK2 K223 hyperacetylation promoted mitotic catastrophe, which enhanced chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Overall, our results provided insights into the mechanisms of SIRT1‐mediated FOXK2 deacetylation, which was involved in chemosensitivity to cisplatin.

[PMID: 34849192 PMCID: PMC8598928 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2021.09.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
SIRT1 is a multifunctional deacetylase that participates in a variety of cellular physiological processes to cope with stress. The anticancer protein P53 is an important target of SIRT1. It has been found that SIRT1 is involved in apoptosis by regulating the activity and intracellular location of P53. Moreover, P53-dependent apoptosis is inseparable from the BCL-2 protein family. Among the members of this family, BAX’s switching dynamics may play a key role in apoptosis. Therefore, a challenging question arises: what effect does SIRT1 have on the BAX switch? To answer this question, we built a small-scale protein network model. Through computer simulation, the properties of SIRT1 that on the one hand promote and on the other inhibit apoptosis are revealed. We found that the opening time of the BAX switch will be delayed in the case of either SIRT1 excess or deficiency. Similarly, the stimulus threshold required for apoptosis will also increase in the above two scenarios. Thereby, we proposed that SIRT1 has an optimal content at which the probability of apoptosis is greatest. In addition, P53 oscillation requires the concentration of SIRT1 to be higher than the optimal value. This work may be helpful both experimentally and clinically.

Abstract
Our previous work suggested that high SIRT1 expression by cancer cells predicted a poor colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, but its role in the tumor microenvironment was unclear. Here, we examined tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in CRC expressing different levels of SIRT1. We also established a co-culture system with monocytes, CD8+ T cells and patient-derived tumor organoids (PDOs) to study the relationships between immune cells and cancer cells. The percentage of CD8+ T cells was decreased and the percentage of macrophages was increased in SIRT1-high (SIRT1-hi) CRC. Co-culture results showed that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from SIRT1-hi CRC inhibited the proliferation and anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T cells. Importantly, SIRT1-hi CRC were shown to modulate the migration and the activity of TAMs. RNA sequencing revealed that CD14+ monocytes in SIRT1-hi patients expressed higher levels of CXCR4. Mechanistically, SIRT1 expression was shown to promote CXCL12 expression by inhibiting the acetylation of p53. Our findings indicate that SIRT1 in CRC induces TAM migration through the CXCR4/CXCL12 pathway, and inhibits the proliferation and activity of CD8+ T cells, resulting in promotion of CRC progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioma is the most common cancer in the central nervous system. Previous studies have revealed that the miR-376 family is crucial in tumour development; however, its detailed mechanism in glioma is not clear. METHODS Cellular mRNA or protein levels of miR-376a, SIRT1, VEGF and YAP1 were detected via qRT-PCR or Western blotting. We analysed the proliferation, angiogenesis and migration abilities of glioma cell lines using colony formation, tube formation and Transwell assays. A luciferase assay was performed to determine whether miR-376a could recognize SIRT1 mRNA. Xenograft experiments were performed to analyse the tumorigenesis capacity of glioma cell lines in nude mice. The angiogenesis marker CD31 in xenograft tumours was detected via immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS miR-376a expression was lower in glioma cells than in normal astrocytes. miR-376a mimic inhibited SIRT1, YAP1, and VEGF expression and suppressed the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis abilities of the glioma cell lines LN229 and A172, whereas miR-376a inhibitor exerted the opposite functions. In a luciferase assay, miR-376a inhibited the luciferase activity of WT-SIRT1. SIRT1 overexpression upregulated YAP1 and VEGF in glioma cells and promoted proliferation, migration and angiogenesis. Xenografts with ectopic miR-376a expression exhibited lower volumes and weights and a slower growth curve. Overexpression of miR-376a inhibited YAP1/VEGF signalling and angiogenesis by inhibiting SIRT1 in xenograft tissues. CONCLUSION miR-376a directly targets and inhibits SIRT1 in glioma cells. Downregulation of SIRT1 resulted in decreased YAP1 and VEGF signalling, which led to suppression of glioma cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis.

SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of FOXO3a transcription factor supports pro-angiogenic activity of interferon-deficient tumor-associated neutrophils. Int J Cancer 2021; 150:1198-1211.

Abstract
Angiogenesis plays an important role during tumor growth and metastasis. We could previously show that Type I interferon (IFN)-deficient tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) show strong pro-angiogenic activity, and stimulate tumor angiogenesis and growth. However, the exact mechanism responsible for their pro-angiogenic shift is not clear. Here, we set out to delineate the molecular mechanism and factors regulating pro-angiogenic properties of neutrophils in the context of Type I IFN availability. We demonstrate that neutrophils from IFN-deficient (Ifnar1-/- ) mice efficiently release pro-angiogenic factors, such as VEGF, MMP9 or BV8, and thus significantly support the vascular normalization of tumors by increasing the maturation of perivascular cells. Mechanistically, we could show here that the expression of pro-angiogenic factors in neutrophils is controlled by the transcription factor forkhead box protein O3a (FOXO3a), which activity depends on its post-translational modifications, such as deacetylation or phosphorylation. In TANs isolated from Ifnar1-/- mice, we observe significantly elevated SIRT1, resulting in SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of FOXO3a, its nuclear retention and activation. Activated FOXO3a supports in turn the transcription of pro-angiogenic genes in TANs. In the absence of SIRT1, or after its inhibition in neutrophils, elevated kinase MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT activity is observed, leading to FOXO3a phosphorylation, cytoplasmic transfer and inactivation. In summary, we have found that FOXO3a is a key transcription factor controlling the angiogenic switch of neutrophils. Post-translational FOXO3a modifications regulate its transcriptional activity and, as a result, the expression of pro-angiogenic factors supporting development of vascular network in growing tumors. Therefore, targeting FOXO3a activity could provide a novel strategy of antiangiogenic targeted therapy for cancer.

circ-SIRT1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Proliferation and EMT by Recruiting and Binding to eIF4A3. Anal Cell Pathol (Amst) 2021; 2021:5739769.

Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA), a recently identified type of endogenous noncoding RNA, has been implicated in the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors; however, whether circ-SIRT1, derived from pre-mRNA of the parental SIRT1 gene, is involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown, as do the potential underlying mechanisms. The expression of circ-SIRT1 in CRC cells and tissue was detected by RT-qPCR. Colony formation and Cell Counting Kit-8 assays were used to evaluate the effect of circ-SIRT1 knockdown on the proliferative ability of CRC cells. Wound healing and Transwell assays were used to assess the effect of circ-SIRT1 knockdown on the migratory and invasive capacity of CRC cells. RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays were employed to validate the binding of circ-SIRT1 to EIF4A3. Western blot was used to identify the changes in the expression of EIF4A3 and EMT-related proteins. The RT-qPCR results showed that circ-SIRT1 was highly expressed in CRC cells and tissue and was positively correlated with the depth of tumor invasion. Knocking down circ-SIRT1 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of CRC cells and EMT. We further found that EIF4A3 could bind to circ-SIRT1, and that overexpressing circ-SIRT1 decreased the abundance of EIF4A3 at the mRNAs of the EMT marker proteins N-cadherin and vimentin. Combined, our findings suggested that circ-SIRT1 regulates the expression of EMT-related proteins by preventing EIF4A3 recruitment to the respective mRNAs. Our results further indicate that circ-SIRT1 functions as an oncogene in CRC by promoting the proliferation, invasion, and EMT of CRC cells through the circ-SIRT1/EIF4A3/N-cadherin/vimentin pathway.

Abstract
The P53 pathway is the most important cellular pathway to maintain genomic and cellular integrity, both in embryonic and non-embryonic cells. Stress signals induce its activation, initiating autophagy or cell cycle arrest to enable DNA repair. The persistence of these signals causes either senescence or apoptosis. Over 50% of all solid tumors harbor mutations in TP53 that inactivate the pathway. The remaining cancers are suggested to harbor mutations in genes that regulate the P53 pathway such as its inhibitors Mouse Double Minute 2 and 4 (MDM2 and MDM4, respectively). Many reviews have already been dedicated to P53, MDM2, and MDM4, while this review additionally focuses on the other factors that can deregulate P53 signaling. We discuss that P14ARF (ARF) functions as a negative regulator of MDM2, explaining the frequent loss of ARF detected in cancers. The long non-coding RNA Antisense Non-coding RNA in the INK4 Locus (ANRIL) is encoded on the same locus as ARF, inhibiting ARF expression, thus contributing to the process of tumorigenesis. Mutations in tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins deregulate P53 signaling through their ubiquitin ligase activity. Several microRNAs (miRNAs) inactivate the P53 pathway through inhibition of translation. CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) maintains an open chromatin structure at the TP53 locus, explaining its inactivation of CTCF during tumorigenesis. P21, a downstream effector of P53, has been found to be deregulated in different tumor types. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these factors that are known to deregulate the P53 pathway in both somatic and embryonic cells, as well as their malignant counterparts (i.e., somatic and germ cell tumors). It provides insights into which aspects still need to be unraveled to grasp their contribution to tumorigenesis, putatively leading to novel targets for effective cancer therapies.

Abstract
Background: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. There are conflicting results regarding the role of sirtuin-1 in cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the serum sirtuin-1 levels in patients with lung cancer and its relationship with the quality of life based on Karnofsky performance statue scale (KPS). Methods: Serum sirtuin-1 levels were measured in 30 male patients with lung cancer and 50 healthy men. The two groups were matched for age. The difference between the serum levels of sirtuin-1 between the two groups and its relationship with KPS and other clinical parameters were evaluated. Data were analyzed by independent t-test and Pearson correlation, and P < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Sirtuin-1 levels were significantly lower in the patients in comparison with healthy subjects (P < 0.001). There was also a significant relationship between the serum level of sirtuin-1 with KPS (P < 0.001, r = 0.634), arterial oxygen saturation (P < 0.01, r = 0.470), and smoking history (P < 0.01, r = -0.330). In addition, the serum sirtuin-1 levels were significantly lower in adenocarcinoma than that in squamous cell carcinoma or small cell lung cancer (p < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion: The serum levels of sirtuin-1 were lower in patients with lung cancer. In addition, there was a significant correlation between serum levels of sirtuin-1 and KPS, O2 saturation, and smoking history. Further serological and histological studies seem to be necessary due to the existence of conflicting reports regarding sirtuin-1.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common malignancy worldwide. MicroRNA (miR)-217 and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) have been reported to play significant roles in different types of cancer, such as osteosarcoma and prostate cancer; however, the association between miR-217 and SIRT1 in the cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of NSCLC remain unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the roles of miR-217 and SIRT1 in NSCLC. The expression levels of miR-217 and SIRT1 were detected via reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR and western blot analyses. The effect of miR-217 on A549 and H1299 cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion was assessed via the Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and Transwell assays, respectively. In addition, the association between SIRT1 and miR-217 was predicted using the TargetScan database, and verified via the dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RT-qPCR and western blot analyses. The results demonstrated that miR-217 expression was significantly downregulated, while SIRT1 expression was significantly upregulated in A549 and H1299 cells compared with the human bronchial epithelial cells. Furthermore, transfection with miR-217 mimic significantly inhibited A549 and H1299 cell proliferation and invasion, and induced A549 and H1299 cell apoptosis. The results of the dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blot analysis confirmed that SIRT1 is a target gene of miR-217. In addition, miR-217 inhibited the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mTOR signaling. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that miR-217 inhibits A549 and H1299 cell proliferation and invasion, and induces A549 and H1299 cell apoptosis by targeting SIRT1 and inactivating the SIRT1-mediated AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. Thus, miR-217 may be used as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family, catalyzes the deacetylation of proteins with the transformation of NAD+ into nicotinamide and 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. Selective SIRT1/2 inhibitors have potential application in the chemotherapy of colorectal carcinoma, prostate cancer, and myelogenous leukemia. Here we identified novel SIRT1 inhibitors with the scaffold of 5-benzylidene-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione. The most potent inhibitor 12n displayed an IC50 of 460 nM and a selectivity for SIRT1 over SIRT2, SIRT3, and SIRT5 of 113.5-, 254.3-, and 10.83-fold, respectively. It did not affect the activity of SIRT6. To elucidate the inhibitory mechanism, we determined the inhibition type of the inhibitor by enzyme kinetic analysis, showing that the inhibitor was competitive to the acetyl peptide and noncompetitive to NAD+. Further, the interaction of the inhibitor in SIRT1 was studied by using molecular docking, which was validated by the structure-activity relationship analysis of the inhibitors and the site-directed mutagenesis of SIRT1. Consistent with the in vitro assays, the inhibitors increased the acetylation level of p53 in a concentration-dependent manner in cells.

Abstract
Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare tumour with unfavourable prognosis, lacking an effective treatment. This tumour is characterized by IGF‐II (insulin‐like growth factor II) overproduction, aromatase and ERα (oestrogen receptor alpha) up‐regulation. Previous reports suggest that ERα expression can be regulated by sirt1 (sirtuin 1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)‐dependent class III histone deacetylases that modulates activity of several substrates involved in cellular stress, metabolism, proliferation, senescence, protein degradation and apoptosis. Nevertheless, sirt1 can act as a tumour suppressor or oncogenic protein. In this study, we found that in H295R and SW13 cell lines, sirt1 expression is inhibited by sirtinol, a potent inhibitor of sirt1 activity. In addition, sirtinol is able to decrease ACC cell proliferation, colony and spheroids formation and to activate the intrinsic apoptotic mechanism. Particularly, we observed that sirtinol interferes with E2/ERα and IGF1R (insulin growth factor 1 receptor) pathways by decreasing receptors expression. Sirt1 involvement was confirmed by using a specific sirt1 siRNA. More importantly, we observed that sirtinol can synergize with mitotane, a selective adrenolitic drug, in inhibiting adrenocortical cancer cell growth. Collectively, our data reveal an oncogenic role for sirt1 in ACC and its targeting could implement treatment options for this type of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Colorectal cancer (CRC) rate increases with aging. Aging-related proteins, such as sirtuins (SIRTs) may be a potential therapeutic target in the elderly patients with CRC. The clinical implications of SIRT1 and SIRT2 have not been reported for elderly patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of expression of SIRT1 and SIRT2 on clinical outcome in two extreme age groups of patients with CRC. METHODS The expression of SIRT1 and SIRT2 were evaluated in CRC tissues of 101 patients aged ≥ 80 years and 29 patients aged ≤ 40 years by immunohistochemistry. We defined the patients aged ≥ 80 years as the very elderly and patients aged ≤ 40 years as the young patients. Correlations between the expression of these proteins and clinicopathological features were analyzed. RESULTS The prognosis for the very elderly patients with high expressions of SIRT1 was significantly worse than that for patients showing low expression (median survival, 24.9 months vs. 38.6 months, p = 0.027) whereas high expression of SIRT2 better prognosis (median survival, 37.9 months vs. 17.3 months, p = 0.006). However, the young patients did not show any difference in prognosis according to expression of SIRT1 and SIRT2. In multivariate analysis, high SIRT1 expression retained statistical significance as a poor prognostic factor in the very elderly patients with CRC. CONCLUSION The results suggest that high SIRT1 expression could be predictive of a poor outcome for very elderly patients with CRC.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an important histone deacetylase that regulates biological functions ranging from DNA repair to metabolism. The alteration of SIRT1 is associated with a variety of diseases including diabetes, inflammation, aging-related diseases, and cancers. Consequently, the detection of SIRT1 activity is of great therapeutic importance. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the deacetylation-activated construction of single quantum dot (QD)-based nanosensor for sensitive SIRT1 assay. This nanosensor is composed of a Cy5-labeled peptide substrate and a streptavidin-coated QD. The peptide with one lysine acetyl group acts as both the Cy5 fluorophore carrier and the substrate for sensing SIRT1. In the presence of SIRT1, it removes the acetyl group in the acetylated peptide, and the resultant deacetylated peptide can react with the NHS-activated biotin reagent (sulfo-NHS-biotin) to form the biotinylated peptide. The multiple biotinylated peptides can assemble on single QD surface via biotin-streptavidin interaction, inducing efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the QD to Cy5, generating distinct Cy5 signal which can be simply quantified by total internal reflection fluorescence-based single-molecule detection. This single QD-based nanosensor can sensitively detect SIRT1 with a detection limit of as low as 3.91 pM, and it can be applied for the measurement of enzyme kinetic parameters and the screening of SIRT1 inhibitors. Moreover, this nanosensor can be used to detect the SIRT1 activity in cancer cells, providing a powerful platform for epigenetic research and SIRT1-targeted drug discovery.

Abstract
The NAD+-dependent deacetylase, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis. However, the actual contribution is unclear as some reports propose a protective role while others suggest it is harmful. We provide evidence for a contextual role for SIRT1 in prostate cancer. Our data show that (i) mice orthotopically implanted with SIRT1-silenced LNCaP cells produced smaller tumors; (ii) SIRT1 suppression mimicked AR inhibitory effects in hormone responsive LNCaP cells; and (iii) caused significant reduction in gene signatures associated with E2F and MYC targets in AR-null PC-3 and E2F and mTORC1 signaling in castrate-resistant ARv7 positive 22Rv1 cells. Our findings further show increased nuclear SIRT1 (nSIRT1) protein under androgen-depleted relative to androgen-replete conditions in prostate cancer cell lines. Silencing SIRT1 resulted in decreased recruitment of AR to PSA enhancer selectively under androgen-deprivation conditions. Prostate cancer outcome data show that patients with higher levels of nSIRT1 progress to advanced disease relative to patients with low nSIRT1 levels. Collectively, we demonstrate that lowering SIRT1 levels potentially provides new avenues to effectively prevent prostate cancer recurrence.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs), enzymes from the family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases, play an important role in the functioning of the body at the cellular level and participate in many biochemical processes. The multi-directionality of SIRTs encourages scientists to undertake research aimed at understanding the mechanisms of their action and the influence that SIRTs have on the organism. At the same time, new substances are constantly being sought that can modulate the action of SIRTs. Extensive research on the expression of SIRTs in various pathological conditions suggests that regulation of their activity may have positive results in supporting the treatment of certain metabolic, neurodegenerative or cancer diseases or this connected with oxidative stress. Due to such a wide spectrum of activity, SIRTs may also be a prognostic markers of selected pathological conditions and prove helpful in assessing their progression, especially by modulating their activity. The article presents and discusses the activating or inhibiting impact of individual SIRTs modulators. The review also gathered selected currently available information on the expression of SIRTs in individual disease cases as well as the biological role that SIRTs play in the human organism, also in connection with oxidative stress condition, taking into account the progress of knowledge about SIRTs over the years, with particular reference to the latest research results.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13020188. [PMID: 33430318 PMCID: PMC7825813 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13020188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 01/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The prevention and treatment of cancer is an ongoing medical challenge. In the context of personalized medicine, the well-studied polyphenol resveratrol could complement classical tumor therapy. It may affect key processes such as inflammation, angiogenesis, proliferation, metastasis, glucose metabolism, and apoptosis in various cancers because resveratrol acts as a multi-targeting agent by modulating multiple signal transduction pathways. This review article focuses on resveratrol’s ability to modify tumor glucose metabolism and its associated therapeutic capacity. Resveratrol reduces glucose uptake and glycolysis by affecting Glut1, PFK1, HIF-1α, ROS, PDH, and the CamKKB/AMPK pathway. It also inhibits cell growth, invasion, and proliferation by targeting NF-kB, Sirt1, Sirt3, LDH, PI-3K, mTOR, PKM2, R5P, G6PD, TKT, talin, and PGAM. In addition, resveratrol induces apoptosis by targeting integrin, p53, LDH, and FAK. In conclusion, resveratrol has many potentials to intervene in tumor processes if bioavailability can be increased and this natural compound can be used selectively. Abstract Tumor cells develop several metabolic reprogramming strategies, such as increased glucose uptake and utilization via aerobic glycolysis and fermentation of glucose to lactate; these lead to a low pH environment in which the cancer cells thrive and evade apoptosis. These characteristics of tumor cells are known as the Warburg effect. Adaptive metabolic alterations in cancer cells can be attributed to mutations in key metabolic enzymes and transcription factors. The features of the Warburg phenotype may serve as promising markers for the early detection and treatment of tumors. Besides, the glycolytic process of tumors is reversible and could represent a therapeutic target. So-called mono-target therapies are often unsafe and ineffective, and have a high prevalence of recurrence. Their success is hindered by the ability of tumor cells to simultaneously develop multiple chemoresistance pathways. Therefore, agents that modify several cellular targets, such as energy restriction to target tumor cells specifically, have therapeutic potential. Resveratrol, a natural active polyphenol found in grapes and red wine and used in many traditional medicines, is known for its ability to target multiple components of signaling pathways in tumors, leading to the suppression of cell proliferation, activation of apoptosis, and regression in tumor growth. Here, we describe current knowledge on the various mechanisms by which resveratrol modulates glucose metabolism, its potential as an imitator of caloric restriction, and its therapeutic capacity in tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a dreaded disease and one of the leading causes of severe neurological dysfunction in neonates. The present study explored the functions of Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) in neonatal HIE. MATERIAL AND METHODS A HIE neonatal rat model was generated to determine SIRT1 levels in brain tissues. Cell apoptosis and cell viability were analyzed by flow cytometry and MTT assay. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to assess gene mRNA and protein levels. Subsequently, the effect of SIRT1 on HIE was investigated in vitro by constructing an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) cell model. RESULTS The effective construction of the HIE rat model was confirmed by the enhanced brain cell apoptosis and the increased expression of HIE-related molecular markers, including S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). SIRT1 expression was downregulated in HIE rat brain tissues. These findings indicated that SIRT1 was downregulated in neuronal cells subjected to OGD. In addition, enhanced cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis were observed, suggesting that SIRT1 overexpression relieved OGD-induced neuronal cell injury. Transfection with SIRT1-siRNA further increased OGD-induced neuronal cell injury, evidenced by decreased cell viability and enhanced cell apoptosis. Finally, SIRT1 overexpression significantly downregulated p-p65 protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Our findings revealed that SIRT1 may be a novel and promising therapy target for HIE treatment.

Abstract
Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a form of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has a poor 5-year survival rate. OSCC patients are often treated with cisplatin but resistance to chemotherapy is often observed. This makes it important identification of alternative therapeutic targets which will result in more favorable outcome in OSCC patients. The plant homeodomain (PHD)-containing protein Inhibitor of Growth family of tumor suppressor proteins (p33ING1b) has been indicated as a tumor suppressor in different cancers including OSCC. This protein has been shown to function by modulating transcriptional activity of p53; however, the exact mechanism(s) are not well defined. Methods Expression of total and acetylated p53 and p33ING1b protein was determined in OSCC cell lines YD-9, YD-8, and YD-38 by immunoblot analysis. Effect of modulation of p33ING1b protein expression on acetylation of p53 and cell proliferation was determined by immunoblot and MTT assay. Effect of modulation of p33ING1b protein expression on transactivation of p53 was assessed by heterologous promoter-based reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Effect of modulation of expression of p33ING1b on SIR2 mRNA and protein was determined by quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblot analyses. Impact of modulation of p33ING1b alone or in combination with SIR2 on chemosensitivity of YD-9 and YD-8 cells to cisplatin was determined in time and dose-dependent cell proliferation assays. Results Here, using a panel of OSCC cell lines with wild type or mutant p53, we show that p33ING1b expression is correlated to acetylation of p53 at lysine 382 residue. Increased acetylation of p53 following overexpression of p33ING1b was associated with increased expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins BAX, p21, and cleaved-Caspase 3, and decreased cell proliferation. Reporter assays with p21 and BAX promoters showed that p33ING1b expression levels directly correlated to promoter activity of these 2 genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that transcriptional regulation of p21 and BAX by acetylated p53 is dependent on expression level of p33ING1b. Differential acetylation of p53 following modulation of p33ING1b expression was indirect. Expression of p33ING1b was found to be inversely correlated to the NAD-dependent deacetylase silent information regulator 2 (SIR2). SIR2 was transcriptionally regulated by p33ING1b. Relative expression of p33ING1b was found to dictate chemosensitivity of OSCC cell lines to cisplatin treatment. Concomitant overexpression of p33ING1b and knockdown of SIR2 had a synergistic effect on chemosensitivity of OSCC cell lines to cisplatin, compared to either overexpression of p33ING1b or knockdown of SIR2 alone. Conclusions The results from the current study thus elucidate that p33ING1b regulates p53 acetylation irrespective of p53 mutation and subsequent transactivation by transcriptional regulation of SIR2 expression. The results also indicate that p33ING1b and SIR2 are potentially attractive therapeutic targets.
