Bergenin-activated SIRT1 inhibits TNF-α-induced proinflammatory response by blocking the NF-κB signaling pathway. Pulm Pharmacol Ther 2020; 62:101921. [PMID: 32615160 DOI: 10.1016/j.pupt.2020.101921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bergenin, a type of polyphenol compound, exhibits antiulcerogenic, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and burn wound-healing properties. However, its therapeutic effect on tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-induced proinflammatory responses in the airway and potential mechanisms of actions are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of bergenin in TNF-α-stimulated human bronchial epithelial (16-HBE) cells. METHODS Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to evaluate cytotoxicity. Cytokine expression was analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunofluorescence, western blot, and sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) activity assays were employed to investigate potential molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Bergenin obviously decreased both mRNA and protein expression levels of interleukins 6 and 8 (IL-6 and IL-8) in TNF-α-stimulated 16-HBE cells. Bergenin blocked TNF-α-mediated activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling and NF-κB nuclear translocation. Interestingly, RT-qPCR and western blotting results revealed that bergenin did not affect SIRT1 expression, but significantly increased its activity. Bergenin-mediated SIRT1 activation was further confirmed by results indicating decreased acetylation levels of NF-κB-p65 and p53. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of bergenin on mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were reversed by a SIRT1 inhibitor. In addition, combining bergenin and dexamethasone (DEX) yielded additive effects on the reduction of IL-6 and IL-8 expression. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that bergenin could suppress TNF-α-induced proinflammatory responses by augmenting SIRT1 activity to block the NF-κB signaling pathway, which may provide beneficial effects for the treatment of airway inflammation associated with asthma.

Abstract
With the extensive application of radiotherapy in various cancers, its side effects in tissues adjacent to cancers are garnering much attention. Intestines are sensitive to irradiation due to its rapid proliferation, and irradiation-induced enteric inflammation is common in patients with pelvic peritoneal tumors. Sirt1, class III protein deacetylase, could lead to transcriptional repression of various inflammation-associated genes, and our previous study has proved its relationship with interleukin (IL)-1β. Here we show that resveratrol, the activator of Sirt1, could alleviate the bowel inflammation induced by irradiation and the expression of Sirt1 is consistent with the inflammation level. We further identified in vivo that Sirt1 repress the expression of IL-1β by the repression of NLR Family, Pyrin Domain Containing protein 3 (NLRP3) expression. In conclusion, this study confirms resveratrol acts against radiation-induced inflammatory bowel disease via NLRP-3 inflammasome repression in mice and supports Sirt1 as a potential biomarker and therapy target in intestinal radiation protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of chronic wounds, account for significant suffering of diabetic people, together with increasing healthcare burden. The chronic wounds associated with diabetes do not undergo the normal healing process rather stagnate into chronic proinflammatory phase as well as declined fibroblast function and impaired cell migration. HYPOTHESIS SIRT1, which is the most studied isoform of the sirtuin family in mammals, has now emerged as a crucial target for improving diabetic wound healing. It is an NAD+ dependent deacetylase, originally characterized to deacetylate histone proteins leading to heterochromatin formation and gene silencing. It is now known to regulate a number of cellular processes like cell proliferation, division, senescence, apoptosis, DNA repair, and metabolism. METHODOLOGY The retrieval of potentially relevant studies was done by systematically searching of three databases (Google Scholar, Web of science and PubMed) in December 2019. The keywords used as search terms were related to SIRT1 and wound healing. The systematic search retrieved 649 papers that were potentially relevant and after selection procedure, 73 studies were included this review and discussed below. RESULTS Many SIRT1 activating compounds (SACs) were found protective and improve diabetic wound healing through regulation of inflammation, cell migration, oxidative stress response and formation of granulation tissue at the wound site. CONCLUSIONS However, contradictory reports describe the opposing role of SACs on the regulation of cell migration and cancer incidence. SACs are therefore subjected to intense research for understanding the mechanisms responsible for controlling cell migration and therefore possess prospective to enter the clinical arena in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
The endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotes evolved from the symbiotic relationship between anaerobic (host) and aerobic prokaryotes. Through iterative genetic transfers, the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes coevolved, establishing the mitochondria as the hub of oxidative metabolism. To study this coevolution, we disrupt mitochondrial-nuclear epistatic interactions by using strains that have mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA) from evolutionarily divergent species. We undertake a multifaceted approach generating introgressed Drosophila strains containing D. simulans mtDNA and D. melanogaster nDNA with Sirtuin 4 (Sirt4)-knockouts. Sirt4 is a nuclear-encoded enzyme that functions, exclusively within the mitochondria, as a master regulator of oxidative metabolism. We exposed flies to the drug rapamycin in order to eliminate TOR signaling, thereby compromising the cytoplasmic crosstalk between the mitochondria and nucleus. Our results indicate that D. simulans and D. melanogaster mtDNA haplotypes display opposite Sirt4-mediated phenotypes in the regulation of whole-fly oxygen consumption. Moreover, our data reflect that the deletion of Sirt4 rescued the metabolic response to rapamycin among the introgressed strains. We propose that Sirt4 is a suitable candidate for studying the properties of mitochondrial-nuclear epistasis in modulating mitochondrial metabolism.

Abstract
Sirtuins are protein deacetylases that play a protective role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), as well as many other diseases. Absence of sirtuins can lead to hyperacetylation of both nuclear and mitochondrial proteins leading to metabolic dysregulation. The protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are known to crosstalk among each other to bring about complex phenotypic outcomes. Various PTM types such as acetylation, ubiquitination, and phosphorylation, and so on, drive transcriptional regulation and metabolism, but such crosstalks are poorly understood. We integrated protein–protein interactions (PPI) and PTMs from several databases to integrate information on 1,251 sirtuin-interacting proteins, of which 544 are associated with cardiac diseases. Based on the ∼100,000 PTM sites obtained for sirtuin interactors, we observed that the frequency of PTM sites (83 per protein), as well as PTM types (five per protein), is higher than the global average for human proteome. We found that ∼60–70% PTM sites fall into ordered regions. Approximately 83% of the sirtuin interactors contained at least one competitive crosstalk (in situ) site, with half of the sites occurring in CVD-associated proteins. A large proportion of identified crosstalk sites were observed for acetylation and ubiquitination competition. We identified 614 proteins containing PTM hotspots (≥5 PTM sites) and 133 proteins containing crosstalk hotspots (≥3 crosstalk sites). We observed that a large proportion of disease-associated sequence variants were found in PTM motifs of CVD proteins. We identified seven proteins (TP53, LMNA, MAPT, ATP2A2, NCL, APEX1, and HIST1H3A) containing disease-associated variants in PTM and crosstalk hotspots. This is the first comprehensive bioinformatics analysis on sirtuin interactors with respect to PTMs and their crosstalks. This study forms a platform for generating interesting hypotheses that can be tested for a deeper mechanistic understanding gained or derived from big-data analytics.

Abstract
Ginsenoside Rg2 has been previously reported to reduce glucose production and adipogenesis in adipose tissue. However, the effects of ginsenosides Rg2 on hepatic lipid metabolism remain vacant. In this study, we found that ginsenoside Rg2 treatment significantly attenuated oleic acid and palmitic acid (OA&PA)-induced intracellular lipid deposition and oxidative stress in mouse primary hepatocytes. C57BL/6J mice that are fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) and treated with ginsenosides Rg2 displayed decreased body weight, reversed hepatic steatosis, and improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Ginsenoside Rg2 administration significantly ameliorated HFD-induced hepatic oxidative stress and apoptosis. Moreover, Ginsenoside Rg2 had a good affinity with Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and regulated its expression in vivo and in vitro. Deficiency of SIRT1 eliminated the therapeutic effect of ginsenoside Rg2 on lipid accumulation and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in OA&PA-induced mice primary hepatocytes. Ginsenoside Rg2 treatment failed to alter the lipid and glucose disorder in hepatic SIRT1 deficient mice feeding on HFD. SIRT1 deficiency dissolves the therapeutic effect of ginsenoside Rg2 on oxidative stress and hepatocyte apoptosis induced by HFD. In summary, ginsenoside Rg2 plays a therapeutic role in HFD-induced hepatosteatosis of mice by decreasing the lipogenesis process and improving antioxidant capacity in an SIRT1-dependent manner.

Abstract
Background/Aim: Acute liver injury (ALI) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome that is usually caused by toxic chemicals, drugs, or pathogen infections. Sirtuin2 (Sirt2), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, appears to play detrimental roles in liver injury. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic application targeting Sirt2 in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced ALI, by using AK-1 (a Sirt2 inhibitor).Methods: For in vivo experiments, a single injection of CCl4 was used to induce ALI. One hour later, mice were intraperitoneally injected with AK-1 and were sacrificed 24 h after CCl4 administration. For in vitro experiments, primary mouse hepatocytes were used to determine the effects of AK-1 on oxidative stress and hepatocellular death induced by CCl4.Results: AK-1 alleviated CCl4-induced ALI as confirmed by histopathologic analysis, and decreased levels of serum biochemicals and inflammatory cytokines. Although it barely affected the expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, AK-1 attenuated CCl4-induced oxidative stress and its related cell death. Mechanistically, Sirt2 inhibition significantly increased the nuclear protein level of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and meanwhile decreased phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), in normal and injured livers. Similar results were observed in vitro. AK-1 significantly attenuated CCl4-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress by up-regulating the activity of Nrf2, and down-regulating JNK signaling in hepatocytes.Conclusions: Our results suggest that AK-1 treatment attenuated oxidative stress and cell death in the ALI model, at least partially, via activating Nrf2 and inhibiting JNK signaling, and that Sirt2 inhibition might be a potential approach to cure ALI.

Abstract
Objectives SIRT1 is an antioxidative factor, but its mechanism in methamphetamine (MA)‐induced lung injury remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine whether MA can disrupt the integrity of alveolar epithelial barrier, whether SIRT1 is involved in MA‐induced chronic lung injury and whether Resveratrol (Res) can protect the integrity of alveolar epithelial cells by regulating ROS to activate SIRT1/PTEN/p‐Akt pathway. Materials and methods The rats were randomly divided into control group and MA group. Extracted lungs were detected by Western blot, HE staining and immunohistochemistry. The alveolar epithelial cells were treated with MA or/and Res, following by Western blot, LDH leakage assay and flow cytometry. MOE is used for bio‐informatics prediction. Results Chronic exposure to MA can cause slower growth ratio of weight, increased RVI and induced lung injury including the reduced number of alveolar sacs and the thickened alveolar walls. MA‐induced apoptosis was associated with SIRT1‐related oxidative stress. Res suppressed ROS levels, activated SIRT1, negatively regulated PTEN, phosphorylated Akt, reduced LDH leakage, increased the expression of ZO‐1 and E‐cadherin and inhibited the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells to attenuate MA‐induced higher permeability of alveolar epithelium. Conclusions MA disrupted the integrity of alveolar epithelial barrier. Res inhibited oxidative stress and reversed MA‐induced higher permeability and apoptosis of alveolar epithelium by the activation of SIRT1/PTEN/p‐Akt pathway.

Abstract
Generally, changes in the metabolic status of cells under conditions like hypoxia and accumulation of lactate can be sensed by various sensing mechanisms, leading to modulation of a number of signal transduction pathways and transcription factors. Several of the proangiogenic cytokines like VEGF, FGF, PDGF, TGF-β, Ang-2, ILs, etc. are secreted by cancer cells, under hypoxic microenvironment. These cytokines bind to their receptors on the endothelial cells and activates a number of signaling pathways including Akt/PIP3, Src, p38/MAPK, Smad2/3, etc., which ultimately results in the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. Transcription factors that are activated in response to the metabolic status of tumors include HIFs, NF-κb, p53, El-2, and FOXO. Many of these transcription factors has been reported to be regulated by a class of histone deacetylase called sirtuins. Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent histone deacetylases that play pivotal role in the regulation of tumor cell metabolism, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis. The major function of sirtuins include, deacetylation of histones as well as some non-histone proteins like NF-κB, FOXOs, PPAR⋎, PGC1-α, enzymes like acetyl coenzymeA and structural proteins like α tubulin. In the cell, sirtuins are generally considered as the redox sensors and their activities are dependent on the metabolic status of the cell. Understanding the intricate regulatory mechanisms adopted by sirtuins, is crucial in devising effective therapeutic strategies against angiogenesis, metastasis and tumor progression. Keeping this in mind, the present review focuses on the role of sirtuins in the process of tumor angiogenesis and the regulatory mechanisms employed by them.

Abstract
Telomere attrition and mitochondrial DNA variations are implicated in the biological aging process and genomic stability can be influenced by nutritional factors. This study aims to analyze the relative telomere length (rTL) and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtCN) in aged individuals and their association with plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels. This community-based cross-sectional study involves 428 subjects (<60 years: 242 & ≥60 years: 186). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure rTL and mtCN variation, and radioimmunoassay to measure plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels. The subjects in the ≥60 years age group have significantly shorter telomeres and lower mtCN compared to the <60 years age group. A significant positive correlation was observed between the rTL and mtCN, and both of them were positively associated with plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels. In the ≥60 age group; folate and vitamin B12 positively correlated with rTL and vitamin B12 with mtCN. The study revealed a decline of rTL and mtCN with age in the Indian population and their association suggests that they may co-regulate each other with age. In conclusion, folate and vitamin B12 may delay aging by preventing the reduction in rTL length and mtCN.

Hong J, Mei C, Abbas Raza SH, Khan R, Cheng G, Zan L. SIRT6 cooperates with SIRT5 to regulate bovine preadipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism via the AMPKα signaling pathway. Arch Biochem Biophys 2020; 681:108260. [PMID: 31926163 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2020.108260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Preadipocyte differentiation and lipid synthesis are critical steps for intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition and lipid metabolism homeostasis. IMF content of beef not only determines the ratio of muscle to adipose, but also determines the beef quality, flavor, and sensory characteristics. Maintaining lipid metabolism homeostasis is the key means of preventing and treating diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases. SIRT6, which is an ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD+-dependent deacetylase of acetyl and long-chain fatty acyl groups, playing central roles in lipid and glucose metabolism, is closely related to the occurrence of diabetes and obesity caused by overnutrition and aging. This study was based on bovine preadipocyte differentiation and an obese mice model, and comprehensively used transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and morphological identification methods to explore the effects of inhibition of SIRT6 on differentiation and lipid synthesis, and related molecular mechanisms. Additionally, the feedback synergistic regulation of SIRT5 and SIRT6 on differentiation and lipid deposition was analyzed. The results showed that in the differentiation process of bovine preadipocytes, inhibition of SIRT5 significantly promoted SIRT6 expression. In addition, SIRT6 inhibited bovine preadipocyte differentiation and lipid synthesis, cooperating with SIRT5 to decrease lipid deposition, and repressed cell cycle arrest of preadipocytes. Moreover, in vivo verification experiments also obtained consistent results. Furthermore, SIRT6 inhibited preadipocyte differentiation and lipid deposition by activating the adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) pathway. The above results provided a novel approach for understanding the functions of SIRT6 in regulating bovine adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism, as well as a new target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Cigarette smoking is the most common risk factor for lung carcinoma; other risks include genetic factors and exposure to radon gas, asbestos, secondhand smoke, and air pollution. Nicotine, the primary addictive constituent of cigarettes, contributes to cancer progression through activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are membrane ligand-gated ion channels. Activation of nicotine/nAChR signaling is associated with lung cancer risk and drug resistance. We focused on nAChR pathways activated by nicotine and its downstream signaling involved in regulating apoptotic factors of mitochondria and drug resistance in lung cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that several sirtuins play a critical role in multiple aspects of cancer drug resistance. Thus, understanding the consequences of crosstalk between nicotine/nAChRs and sirtuin signaling pathways in the regulation of drug resistance could be a critical implication for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The mammalian kidney is a complex organ that has several metabolically active cell types to aid in waste filtration, salt-water balance, and electrolyte homeostasis in the body. These functions are done primarily through the nephron, which relies on strict regulation of various metabolic pathways. Any deviations in the metabolic profile of nephrons or their precursor cells called nephron progenitors can lead to renal pathologies and abnormal development. Metabolism encompasses the mechanisms by which cells generate intermediate molecules and energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is required by all cells and is mainly generated through glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. During kidney development, self-renewing or proliferating cells rely on glycolysis to a greater extent than the other metabolic pathways to supply energy, replenish reducing equivalents, and generate nucleotides. However, terminally differentiated cell types rely more heavily on fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation performed in the mitochondria to fulfill energy requirements. Further, the mature nephron is comprised of distinct segments and each segment utilizes metabolic pathways to varying degrees depending on the specific function. This review will focus on major metabolic processes performed by the nephron during health and disease.

Abstract
SIRT5 (sirtuin 5) is located in the mitochondria and plays an important role in biological processes such as maintaining the balance of lipid metabolism and promoting fatty acid oxidation mobilization. In this study, the bovine preadipocyte differentiation and obese mouse models were constructed; combined with transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and morphological identification, the regulatory and molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of SIRT5 on bovine preadipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism were studied. The results reveal that during the differentiation of preadipocytes, SIRT5 inhibited the expression of key genes that promote lipid formation and differentiation in fatty acid biosynthesis and PPAR pathways. SIRT5 significantly activated the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway and repressed the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Eventually, SIRT5 significantly inhibited the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes and simultaneously inhibited lipid synthesis and lipid deposition in adipocytes. The verification experiments performed using obese mice also yielded consistent results in vivo.

Abstract
Sirtuin family members are characterized by either mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase or deacylase activity and are linked to various cancer-related biological pathways as regulators of transcriptional progression. Sirtuins play fundamental roles in carcinogenesis and maintenance of the malignant phenotype, mainly participating in cancer cell viability, apoptosis, metastasis, and tumorigenesis. Although sirtuin family members have a high degree of homology, they may play different roles in various kinds of cancer. This review highlights their fundamental roles in tumorigenesis and cancer development and provides a critical discussion of their dual roles in cancer, namely, as tumor promoters or tumor suppressors.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a major cause of many spinal diseases characterized mainly by nucleus pulposus degradation. 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP), a new activator of sirtuin-1 (sirt1), has been reported to have anti-oxidative effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of DHP on nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in vitro. NP cells were pretreated with IL-1β to establish a degenerated model, and then treated with DHP alone or DHP combined with selisistat (an inhibitor of sirt1). ROS level was analyzed by flow cytometry. Production of IL-6 and TNF-α were evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA and protein expression were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot respectively. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the expression of collagen-II and sirt1. We found that DHP inhibited IL-1β-induced upregulation of ROS, TNF-α, IL-6, MMP-3, ADAMTS-5. Besides, DHP remarkably increased the sirt1 and anti-oxidative protein SOD-1 level. Furthermore, DHP significantly protected the IL-1β-induced degradation of collagen-II and aggrecan. However, the inhibitory effect of DHP was obvious abolished by selisistat, suggesting that DHP exerts these effects in NP cells through activating sirt1. Taken together, we found that DHP inhibited the ROS, inflammatory response and ECM degradation through activating Sirt1 in human NP cells.

Abstract
Organic compounds have been linked to adverse pregnancy complications. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), a man-made fluorosurfactant and global pollutant, has been shown to induce oxidative stress in various cell types. Oxidative stress plays a key role in leading several placental diseases including preeclampsia (PE), gestational diabetes, spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, and intrauterine growth restriction. Recently, epigenetic regulation such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, and microRNAs (miRNAs), are shown to be associated with oxidative stress as well as pregnancy complications such as PE. However, whether PFOS exerts its detrimental effects in the placenta through epigenetics remains to be unveiled. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of PFOS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in first trimester human trophoblast cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) and whether epigenetic regulation is involved in this process. When treated with a range of PFOS doses at 24 and 48 h, even at 10 μM, it significantly increased the ROS production and decreased gene and protein expression, respectively, of the DNA methyltransferases DNMT1 (p < 0.001; p < 0.05), DNMT3A (p < 0.001; p < 0.05), and DNMT3B (p < 0.01; p < 0.01) and the sirtuins, for example, SIRT1 (p < 0.001; p < 0.001) and SIRT3 (p < 0.001; p < 0.05), while reducing global DNA methylation (p < 0.01) and increasing protein lysine acetylation (p < 0.001) as compared to vehicle controls. Interestingly, PFOS (10 μM) significantly increased miR29-b (p < 0.01), which has been previously reported to be associated with PE. The observed epigenetic effects were shown to be dependent on the expression of miR-29b, as knockdown of miR-29b significantly alters the gene and protein expression of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, SIRT1, and SIRT3 and ROS production as well as global DNA methylation and protein acetylation. This study provides for the first time a novel insight into PFOS-induced ROS generation via regulation of sets of the interactive epigenetic circuit in the placenta, which may lead to pregnancy complications.

Abstract
Sirtuin1 (SIRT1), which belongs to a highly conserved family of protein deacetylase, is one of the best-studied sirtuins. SIRT1 is involved in a variety of biological processes, including energy metabolism, cell proliferation and survival, chromatin dynamics, and DNA repair. In the vasculature, SIRT1 is ubiquitously expressed in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and perivascular adipose tissues (PVAT). Endothelial SIRT1 plays a unique role in vasoprotection by regulating a large variety of proteins, including endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). In endothelial cells, SIRT1 and eNOS regulate each other synergistically through positive feedback mechanisms for the maintenance of endothelial function. Recent studies have shown that SIRT1 plays a vital role in modulating PVAT function, arterial remodeling, and vascular aging. In the present article, we summarize recent findings, review the molecular mechanisms and the potential of SIRT1 as a therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular diseases, and discuss future research directions.

Abstract
Characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is important to prevent death caused by the metastatic spread of cancer cells because CTC are associated with distal metastasis and poor prognosis of breast cancer. We have previously developed suspension cells (SC) using breast cancer cell lines and demonstrated their high metastatic potential. As survival of CTC is highly variable from a few hours to decades, herein we cultured SC for an extended time and named them adapted suspension cells (ASC). Silent mating‐type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) expression increased in ASC, which protected the cells from apoptosis. High SIRT1 expression was responsible for the suppression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) activity and downregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ASC. As the inhibition of NF‐κB and ROS production in SIRT1‐depleted ASC contributed to the development of resistance to apoptotic cell death, maintenance of a low ROS level and NF‐κB activity in ASC is a crucial function of SIRT1. Thus, SIRT1 overexpression may play an important role in growth adaptation of SC because SIRT1 expression is increased in long‐term rather than in short‐term cultures.

Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the effects of adding different concentrations of resveratrol during in vitro culture (IVC) alone and during both in vitro maturation (IVM) and IVC on ovine blastocyst yield and quality. Therefore, this study was conducted in two separate experiments. The first experiment was carried out to test the effect of different concentrations of resveratrol (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 μM) in the IVC medium on cleavage, morula, developmental potential of blastocyst, and total cell number (TCN) of the embryos. Addition of 0.25 and 0.5 μM of resveratrol during IVC significantly enhanced morula and blastocyst rates as compared with other groups (P < 0.05). Also, supplementation of the IVC medium with 0.5 μM of resveratrol had beneficial effects on trophectoderm cells (TE), inner cell mass (ICM), and TCN of blastocysts. In the second experiment, the same concentrations of resveratrol (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 μM) were applied during IVM and IVC. Therefore, oocytes were matured in vitro in the presence of different concentrations of resveratrol for 22-24 h. After in vitro fertilization, presumptive zygotes were cultured in media containing 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 μM of resveratrol for 8 d. No significant difference was found in the percentage of oocytes developed to MII (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 2.0 μM of resveratrol), but the percentage of oocytes developed to MII were significantly lower in 5.0 μM of resveratrol in comparison with other groups. Addition of 0.5 μM of resveratrol to the maturation and culture media significantly increased morula and blastocyst rates compared with other groups (P < 0.05). However, a too high concentration of resveratrol (5.0 μM) during IVM and IVC decreased cleavage, morula, and blastocyst rates compared with low concentrations (P < 0.05). Treatment with 0.5/0.5 μM of resveratrol during IVM/IVC significantly improved the TE, ICM, and TCN of blastocysts. In conclusion, sequential treatment with 0.5 μM of resveratrol during IVM and IVC and during IVC alone improved the developmental competence of oocytes, which was reflected in higher blastocyst rates and TCN of blastocysts.

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been shown to cause cardiovascular toxicity via oxidative stress and inflammation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the protective effects of melatonin (MLT) against HFCS-induced endothelial and cardiac dysfunction via oxidative stress and inflammation. Thirty-two Sprague Dawley male rats were distributed into three groups as control, HFCS, and HFCS + MLT. HFCS form F55 was prepared as 20% fructose syrup solution and given to the rats through drinking water for 10 weeks, and MLT administrated 10 mg/kg/day orally for last 6 weeks in addition to F55. After decapitation, blood and half of the heart samples were collected for biochemical analysis and other half of the tissues for histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. Aspartate transaminase, creatine kinase MB, lactate dehydrogenase, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index, and caspase-3 levels increased and total antioxidant status levels decreased significantly in HFCS group. MLT treatment reversed all these parameters. Histopathologically, hyperemia, endothelial cell damage and increased levels of angiogenin, C-reactive protein, inducible nitric oxide synthase, myeloperoxidase and decreased sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) expressions were observed in HFCS group. MLT ameliorated all these changes. MLT has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic effects on HFCS-induced cardiovascular toxicity through enhancing the expression of SIRT-1.

Abstract
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2001 for the treatment of heart failure. However, the effects of BNP in clinical applications are controversial and uncertain. Recently, study indicated that high BNP levels are associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation. In this study, we investigated the direct effects of BNP on TNF-α-induced atrial fibrosis mice, as well as its effects on human atrial myofibroblasts. We found that injecting TNF-α-induced mice with recombinant human BNP enhanced atrial fibrosis via matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression and collagen accumulation. Furthermore, we found that BNP stimulated MMP-2 expression in human atrial myofibroblasts. Treatment of human atrial myofibroblasts with cycloheximide had no effect on this outcome; however, treatment of cells with MG132 enhanced BNP-induced MMP-2 expression, indicating that protein stability and inhibition of proteasome-mediated protein degradation pathways are potentially involved. Inhibition of SIRT1 significantly decreased BNP-induced MMP-2 expression. Additionally, confocal and coimmunoprecipitation data indicated that BNP-regulated MMP-2 expression are likely to be mediated through direct interaction with SIRT1, which is thought to deacetylate MMP-2 and to increase its protein stability in human atrial myofibroblasts. Finally, we confirmed that SIRT1 is expressed and cytoplasmically redistributed as well as colocalized with MMP-2 in mouse fibrotic atrial tissue. We suggest a possible fibrosis-promoting role of BNP in the atrium, although the antifibrotic properties of BNP in the ventricle have been reported in previous studies, and that the coordination between MMP-2 and SIRT1 in BNP-induced atrial myofibroblasts participates in atrial fibrosis.

Abstract
20(S)-Protopanaxadiol (PPD) is one of the major active metabolites in ginseng saponin. Our previous studies revealed a broad spectrum of antitumor effects of PPD. Angiotensin II (Ang II), the biologically active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), plays a critical role in the metastasis of various cancers. However, its role in the anti-metastatic effects of PPD is not clearly understood. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of PPD on Ang II-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, and the potential molecular mechanisms of suppression of NSCLC migration and metastasis by PPD. Treatment of A549 cells with Ang II increased metastases in an experimental model of cancer metastasis in vivo. PPD effectively prevented Ang II-induced EMT, as indicated by upregulation of E-cadherin and downregulation of vimentin. Additionally, Ang II upregulated the class III deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression in EMT progression, while downregulation of SIRT1 was involved in suppression of Ang II-induced EMT by PPD. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of PPD was reversed by SIRT1 upregulation, and PPD demonstrated synergy with an SIRT1 inhibitor on Ang II-induced EMT. Taken together, our data reveal the mechanism of the anti-metastatic effects of PPD on Ang II-induced EMT and indicate that PPD can be used as an effective anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
Inflammation mediated by myeloid cells trigger receptors 1 (TREM-1) is important for atherosclerosis development, while sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) levels decrease in atheroscleoritc plaque. Here we demonstrate that oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated endothelial cells (ECs) exhibited increased TREM-1-mediated pyroptosis and decreased Sirt6-induced autophagy. We show that high sTREM-1 and low sSirt6 levels were independent predictors of boosted endothelial microparticles (EMPs) on admission, and were associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at median 24 months (interquartile range, 18–26) follow-up in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Additionally, blockage of Sirt6-induced autophagy led to augmented TREM-1-mediated pyroptosis, whereas Sirt6 overexpression attenuated ECs inflammation and pyroptosis following ox-LDL treatment. Our findings indicate that TREM-1 and in a reversed trend Sirt6 appeared to be markers of endothelial inflammation with potential for use in risk stratification.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death, is involved in ischemia-reperfusion-induced brain injury. Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), as a well-known member of histone deacetylase class III, plays pivotal roles in inflammation, metabolism, and neuron loss in cerebral ischemia. We explored the relationship between Sirt1 and the necroptosis signaling pathway and its downstream events by administration of ex-527, as a selective and potent inhibitor of Sirt1, and necrostatin-1 (nec-1), as a necroptosis inhibitor, in an animal model of focal cerebral ischemia. Our data showed different patterns of sirt1 and necroptosis critical regulators, including receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein gene expressions in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus after ischemia-reperfusion. We found that ex-527 microinjection reduces the infarction volume of ischemic brains and improves the survival rate, but not stroke-associated neurological deficits. Additionally, treatment with ex-527 effectively abolished the elevation of the critical regulators of necroptosis, whereas necroptosis inhibition through nec-1 microinjection did not influence Sirt1 expression levels. Our data also demonstrated that the ex-527 relieves ischemia-induced perturbation of necroptosis-associated metabolic enzymes activity in downstream. This study provides a new approach to the possible neuroprotective potential of ex-527 orchestrated by necroptosis pathway inhibition to alleviate ischemia-reperfusion brain injury.

Abstract
Sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) belongs to the mitochondrial sirtuin protein family, a class of NAD+-dependent protein deacylases that remove post-translational acyl modifications from cellular substrates during the regulation of various biological pathways. SIRT4 has been shown to regulate lipid homeostasis. However, the mechanism by which the bovine SIRT4 gene is transcriptionally regulated remains unknown. To explore the molecular mechanism of SIRT4 expression, we obtained a 400-kb fragment of the 5'-regulatory region of bovine SIRT4 by molecular cloning, which contained a CpG island. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and luciferase reporter gene assays identified the nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) and myb proto-oncogene protein (CMYB) binding sites as transcriptional repression and activation sites in the SIRT4 promoter region, respectively. We further verified that NRF1 and CMYB bind to the SIRT4 promoter using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. In addition, from DNA methylation and reporter gene assays, results revealed that SIRT4 promoter activity was enhanced by demethylation. Further, NRF1-mediated transcriptional inhibition and CMYB-mediated transcriptional activation of SIRT4 expression were strengthened by demethylation during bovine adipocyte differentiation. Taken together, our results shed light on the mechanism underlying the promoter methylation and transcriptional regulation of SIRT4 expression in bovine adipocytes.

Abstract
Myricetin is a biologically active natural polyphenol with beneficial effects on metabolic health. This study aimed to examine the effects of myricetin on the expression levels of genes involved in lipolysis and mitochondrial respiration in adipocytes and the anti-obesity potential of myricetin. The results indicated that myricetin reduced triglyceride (TG) content and increased mitochondrial content and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in adipocytes in vitro. To determine anti-obesity effect of myricetin, C57BL6/J mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for eight weeks and then treated with myricetin (10 mg/kg) for 2 weeks. The in vivo treatment of myricetin reduced body weight by 11%. Furthermore, it improved the glucose tolerance, and increased fatty acid consumption of HFD-fed mice. Myricetin treatment increased Sirt3 expression and reduced the acetylation of mitochondrial proteins in adipose tissue. Finally, the knockdown of Sirt3 in adipocytes reduced the myricetin-induced increase in mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate by about 27% compared to controls. Our results indicated that myricetin exerted anti-obesity effects through the upregulation of Sirt3 expression and mitochondrial metabolism in adipose tissue.

Abstract
Wfs1 deficiency leads to a progressive loss of plasma insulin concentration, which should reduce the consumption of glucose in insulin-dependent tissues, causing a variety of changes in intracellular energy metabolism. Our objective here was to assess the changes in the amount and function of mitochondrial proteins in different muscles of Wfs1-deficient mice. Mitochondrial functions were assayed by high-resolution oxygraphy of permeabilized muscle fibers; the protein amount was evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis and mRNA levels of the uncoupler proteins UCP2 and UCP3 by real-time PCR; and citrate synthase (CS) activity was determined spectrophotometrically in muscle homogenates. Compared to controls, there were no changes in proton leak and citrate synthase activity in the heart and m. soleus tissues of Wfs1-deficient mice, but significantly higher levels of both of these factors were observed in the m. rectus femoris; mitochondrial proteins and mRNA of UCP2 were also higher in the m. rectus femoris. ADP-stimulated state 3 respiration was lower in the m. soleus, remained unchanged in the heart, and was higher in the m. rectus femoris. The mitochondrial protein amount and activity are higher in Wfs1-deficient mice, as are mitochondrial proton leak and oxygen consumption in m. rectus femoris. These changes in muscle metabolism may be important for identifying the mechanisms responsible for Wolfram syndrome and diabetes.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex that plays a key role in the innate immune system, and aberrant activation of this complex is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Carvedilol (CVL) is an α-, β-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure; however, some benefits beyond decreased blood pressure were observed clinically, suggesting the potential anti-inflammatory activity of CVL. In this report, the inhibitory potential of CVL toward the NLRP3 inflammasome and the possible underlying molecular mechanisms were studied. Our results showed that CVL attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis in mouse macrophages, without affecting activation of the AIM2, NLRC4 and non-canonical inflammasomes. Mechanistic analysis revealed that CVL prevented lysosomal and mitochondrial damage and reduced ASC oligomerization. Additionally, CVL caused autophagic induction through a Sirt1-dependent pathway, which inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome. In the in vivo mouse model of NLRP3-associated peritonitis, oral administration of CVL reduced (1) peritoneal recruitment of neutrophils; (2) the levels of IL-1β, IL-18, active caspase-1, ASC, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, and CXCL1 in the lavage fluids; and (3) the levels of NLRP3 and HO-1 in the peritoneal cells. Our results indicated that CVL is a novel autophagy inducer that inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome and can be repositioned for ameliorating NLRP3-associated complications.

Abstract
Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR), a cyclic heptapeptide produced by cyanobacteria, is a strong reproductive toxin. Studies performed in rat Sertoli cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells have demonstrated typical apoptosis after MC-LR exposure. However, little is known on how to protect against the reproductive toxicity induced by MC-LR. The present study aimed to explore the possible molecular mechanism underlying the anti-apoptosis and protective effects of resveratrol (RES) on the co-culture of Sertoli–germ cells and rat testes. The results demonstrated that MC-LR treatment inhibited the proliferation of Sertoli–germ cells and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and Bcl-2 were inhibited, while p53 and Ku70 acetylation, Bax expression, and cleaved caspase-3 were upregulated by MC-LR. However, RES pretreatment ameliorated MC-LR-induced apoptosis and SIRT1 inhibition, and downregulated the MC-LR-induced increase in p53 and Ku70 acetylation, Bax expression, and caspase-3 activation. In addition, RES reversed the MC-LR-mediated reduction in Ku70 binding to Bax. The present study indicated that the administration of RES could ameliorate MC-LR-induced Sertoli–germ cell apoptosis and protect against reproductive toxicity in rats by stimulating the SIRT1/p53 pathway, suppressing p53 and Ku70 acetylation and enhancing the binding of Ku70 to Bax.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A global consensus on the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function in humans refers as sarcopenia and cachexia including diabetes, obesity, renal failure, and osteoporosis. Despite a current improvement of sarcopenia or cachexia with exercise training and supportive therapies, alternative and specific managements are needed to discover for whom are unable or unwilling to embark on these treatments. Alendronate is a widely used drug for osteoporosis in the elderly and postmenopausal women. Osteopenic menopausal women with 6 months of alendronate therapy have been observed to improve not only lumbar bone mineral density but also handgrip strength. However, the effect and mechanism of alendronate on muscle strength still remain unclear. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential and the molecular mechanism of alendronate on the loss of muscle mass and strength in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Mouse myoblasts and primary human skeletal muscle-derived progenitor cells were used to assess the effects of low-dose alendronate (0.1-1 μM) combined with or without dexamethasone on myotube hypertrophy and myogenic differentiation. Moreover, we also evaluated the effects of low-dose alendronate (0.5 and 1 mg/kg) by oral administration on the limb muscle function and morphology of mice with denervation-induced muscle atrophy and glycerol-induced muscle injury. RESULTS Alendronate inhibited dexamethasone-induced myotube atrophy and myogenic differentiation inhibition in mouse myoblasts and primary human skeletal muscle-derived progenitor cells. Alendronate significantly abrogated dexamethasone-up-regulated sirtuin-3 (SIRT3), but not SIRT1, protein expression in myotubes. Both SIRT3 inhibitor AKG7 and SIRT3-siRNA transfection could also reverse dexamethasone-up-regulated atrogin-1 and SIRT3 protein expressions. Animal studies showed that low-dose alendronate by oral administration ameliorated the muscular malfunction in mouse models of denervation-induced muscle atrophy and glycerol-induced muscle injury with a negative regulation of SIRT3 expression. CONCLUSIONS The putative mechanism by which muscle atrophy was improved with alendronate might be through the SIRT3 down-regulation. These findings suggest that alendronate can be a promising therapeutic strategy for management of muscle wasting-related diseases and sarcopenia.

Depressed mitochondrial function and electron transport Complex II-mediated H 2O 2 production in the cortex of type 1 diabetic rodents. Mol Cell Neurosci 2018; 90:49-59. [PMID: 29802939 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcn.2018.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2017] [Revised: 04/17/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Abnormalities in mitochondrial function under diabetic conditions can lead to deficits in function of cortical neurons and their support cells exhibiting a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. We aimed to assess mitochondrial respiration rates and membrane potential or H2O2 generation simultaneously and expression of proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics, ROS scavenging and AMPK/SIRT/PGC-1α pathway activity in cortex under diabetic conditions. METHODS Cortical mitochondria from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic rats or mice, and aged-matched controls were used for simultaneous measurements of mitochondrial respiration rates and mitochondrial membrane potential (mtMP) or H2O2 using OROBOROS oxygraph. Measurements of enzymatic activities of respiratory complexes were performed using spectophotometry. Protein levels in cortical mitochondria and homogenates were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS Mitochondrial coupled respiration rates and FCCP-induced uncoupled respiration rates were significantly decreased in mitochondria of cortex of STZ-diabetic rats compared to controls. The mtMP in the presence of ADP was significantly depolarized and succinate-dependent respiration rates and H2O2 were significantly diminished in cortical mitochondria of diabetic animals compared to controls, accompanied with reduced expression of CuZn- and Mn-superoxide dismutase. The enzymatic activities of Complex I, II, and IV and protein levels of certain components of Complex I and II, mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), P-AMPK, SIRT2 and PGC-1α were significantly diminished in diabetic cortex. CONCLUSION Deficits in mitochondrial function, dynamics, and antioxidant capabilities putatively mediated through sub-optimal AMPK/SIRT/PGC-1α signaling, are involved in the development of early sub-clinical neurodegeneration in the cortex under diabetic conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatic steatosis is a common feature of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Previous reports have shown that the overexpression of hepatitis C virus core-encoding sequences (hepatitis C virus genotypes 3a and 1b) significantly induces intracellular triglyceride accumulation. However, the underlying mechanism has not yet been revealed. METHODS To investigate whether Sirt1 is involved in hepatitis C virus-mediated hepatic steatosis, the overexpression of hepatitis C virus core 1b protein and Sirt1 and the knockdown of Sirt1 in HepG2 cells were performed. To confirm the results of the cellular experiment liver-specific Sirt1 KO mice with lentivirus-mediated hepatitis C virus core 1b overexpression were studied. RESULTS Our results show that hepatitis C virus core 1b protein overexpression led to the accumulation of triglycerides in HepG2 cells. Notably the expression of PPARγ2 was dramatically increased at both the mRNA and protein levels by hepatitis C virus core 1b overexpression. The protein expression of Sirt1 is an upstream regulator of PPARγ2 and was also significantly increased after core 1b overexpression. In addition, the overexpression or knockdown of Sirt1 expression alone was sufficient to modulate p300-mediated PPARγ2 deacetylation. In vivo studies showed that hepatitis C virus core protein 1b-induced hepatic steatosis was attenuated in liver-specific Sirt1 KO mice by downregulation of PPARγ2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Sirt1 mediates hepatitis C virus core protein 1b-induced hepatic steatosis by regulation of PPARγ2 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylase. Recent studies have demonstrated that enhancing SIRT1 expression or activity may modulate cholesterol and lipid metabolism. However, pharmacological and molecular regulators for SIRT1 are scarce. Here, we aimed to find novel small molecule modulators of SIRT1 to regulate cholesterol and lipid metabolism. METHODS A high-throughput screening assay was established to identify SIRT1 activators. Surface plasmon resonance and immunoprecipitation were performed to confirm the interaction of E1231 with SIRT1. Cholesterol assay was performed to demonstrate the in vitro effect of E1231. The in vivo effect of E1231 was evaluated in experimental models. RESULTS E1231, a piperazine 1,4-diamide compound, was identified as a SIRT1 activator with EC50 value of 0.83 μM. E1231 interacted with recombinant human SIRT1 protein and deacetylated liver X receptor-alpha (LXRα). E1231 increased ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression in RAW 264.7 cells dependent on SIRT1 and LXRα. E1231 promoted cholesterol efflux and inhibited lipid accumulation in RAW 264.7 cells via SIRT1 and ABCA1. In the golden hamster hyperlipidemia model, E1231 treatment decreased total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in both serum and the liver, while increased cholesterol content in feces. Moreover, E1231 increased ABCA1 and SIRT1 protein expression in the liver. In ApoE-/- mice, E1231 treatment reduced atherosclerotic plaque development compared with untreated ApoE-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS We identified a novel SIRT1 activator E1231 and elucidated its beneficial effects on lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Our study suggests that E1231 might be developed as a novel drug for treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Inflammation is a host response to infection or damage and is vital for clearing pathogens and host debris. When this resolution fails to occur, chronic inflammation ensues. Chronic inflammation is typically characterized as a low-grade, persistent inflammatory process that can last for months or even years. This differs from acute inflammation, which is typically a fast, robust response to a stimulus followed by resolution with return to homeostasis. Inflammation resolution occurs through a variety of cellular processes and signaling components that act as "brakes" to keep inflammation in check. In cases of chronic inflammation, these "brakes" are often dysfunctional. Due to its prevalent association with chronic diseases, there is growing interest in characterizing these negative regulators and their cellular effects in innate leukocytes. In this review, we aim to describe key cellular and molecular homeostatic regulators of innate leukocytes, with particular attention to the emerging regulatory processes of autophagy and lysosomal fusion during inflammation resolution.

Abstract
A previous study demonstrated that nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is upregulated in the tissues of patients with prostate cancer (PCa); however, the specific underlying mechanism of this remains unclear. To begin with, the expression of NNMT was investigated in the peripheral blood of patients with PCa and of healthy control subjects. The results indicated that the expression level of NNMT was elevated in the peripheral blood and tissues of patients with PCa. Furthermore, the overexpression of NNMT enhanced PC-3 cell viability, invasion and migration capacity. Additionally, the overexpression of NNMT significantly increased the mRNA level of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in PC-3 cells. In addition, nicotinamide treatment significantly suppressed the expression of SIRT1 even in PC-3 cells transfected with adeno-associated virus-NNMT. Furthermore, the PC-3 cell invasion capacity was notably decreased by the nicotinamide treatment; however, such effects were largely abolished by the overexpression of NNMT in PC-3 cells. These data indicated that NNMT enhanced PC-3 cell migration and invasion mainly by regulating SIRT1 expression. In summary, the present study indicated that NNMT is an important regulator of SIRT1 expression in PC-3 cells and may be a potential therapeutic target for PCa.

Abstract
We investigated panobinostat 40 mg three times weekly in 35 adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Overall response rate and complete response were 17.1% and 11.4%, respectively. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 2.4 and 7.6 months, respectively. Calculated 12, 24 and 36 months PFS were 26%, 11% and 11%, respectively. Four patients who achieved a sustained CR, continued receiving panobinostat for an overall period of 44, 48, 50, 62 months. Thrombocytopenia grade 3 (5 patients) and 4 (24 patients) represented the main toxic effect, causing dose reduction or treatment suspension in 19 patients. Genomic analysis was unable to identify any relationship between mutations and response; TP53 mutation appeared not to impact the clinical outcome. Overall, panobinostat has a modest activity in R/R DLBCL patients, however it can induce very long lasting responses in some cases. Thrombocytopenia frequently limits the use of this agent.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in HIV patients, which is characterized by glomerulosclerosis and renal tubular dysfunction. Aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) is a membrane bound water channel protein that plays a distinct role in water reabsorption from renal tubular fluid. It has been proven that failure of AQP-4 insertion into the renal tubular membrane leads to renal dysfunction. However, the role of AQP-4 in HIVAN is unclear. We hypothesize that impaired water reabsorption leads to renal injury in HIVAN, where AQP-4 plays a crucial role. Renal function is assessed by urinary protein and serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Kidneys from HIV Transgenic (TG26) mice (HIVAN animal model) were compared to wild type mice by immunostaining, immunoblotting and quantitative RT-PCR. TG26 mice had increased proteinuria and BUN. We found decreased AQP-4 levels in the renal medulla, increased endothelin-1, endothelin receptor A and reduced Sirtuin1 (SIRT-1) levels in TG26 mice. Also, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress was enhanced in kidneys of TG26 mice. We provide the first evidence that AQP-4 is inhibited due to induction of HIV associated stress in the kidneys of TG26 mice which limits water reabsorption in the kidney which may be one of the cause associated with HIVAN, impairing kidney physiology. AQP-4 dysregulation in TG26 mice suggests that similar changes may occur in HIVAN patients. This work may identify new therapeutic targets to be evaluated in HIVAN.

Abstract
Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between the production of free radicals and antioxidant defences. Several studies have suggested that dietary antioxidants (such as polyphenols and berberine) may counteract oxidative stress through the involvement of the Sirtuin 1/Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (SIRT1/AMPK) pathway. The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct and specific antioxidant activity of some natural compounds, as well as their ability to modulate the expression of SIRT1 and the activation of AMPK. Quercetin, tyrosol, ferulic acid, catechin, berberine and curcumin were evaluated for their specific and direct antioxidant activity with TOSC assay. Their ability to modulate SIRT1 and AMPK was assessed by immunoblotting assay, while their cytotoxicity by CellTiter-Blue Cell Viability Assay. No statistically significant decrease (p > 0.05) in the number of viable cells was found upon challenging with the natural compounds. Quercetin exhibited the highest antioxidant activity against peroxyl radical and peroxinitrate derivates, while curcumin showed the best anti-hydroxyl activity with respect to the other compounds and, most importantly, respect to the reference antioxidants. Finally, all the tested compounds significantly increased the SIRT1 expression and the activation of AMPK. Our results clearly disclose the specific antioxidant activity of these natural compounds and their ability to increase SIRT1 expression and AMPK activation.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has matured into standard treatment for several cancers, but much remains to be done to extend the reach of its effectiveness particularly to cancers that are resistant within each indication. This review proposes that nutrition can affect and potentially enhance the immune response against cancer. The general mechanisms that link nutritional principles to immune function and may influence the effectiveness of anticancer immunotherapy are examined. This represents also the premise for a research project aimed at identifying the best diet for immunotherapy enhancement against tumours (D.I.E.T project). Particular attention is turned to the gut microbiota and the impact of its composition on the immune system. Also, the dietary patterns effecting immune function are discussed including the value of adhering to a healthy diets such as the Mediterranean, Veg, Japanese, or a Microbiota-regulating diet, the very low ketogenic diet, which have been demonstrated to lower the risk of developing several cancers and reduce the mortality associated with them. Finally, supplements, as omega-3 and polyphenols, are discussed as potential approaches that could benefit healthy dietary and lifestyle habits in the context of immunotherapy.

Abstract
The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) celecoxib and sulindac have been reported to suppress lung cancer migration and invasion. The class III deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) possesses both pro- and anticarcinogenic properties. However, its role in inhibition of lung cancer cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by NSAIDs is not clearly known. We attempted to investigate the potential use of NSAIDs as inhibitors of TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 cells, and the underlying mechanisms of suppression of lung cancer migration and invasion by celecoxib and sulindac. We demonstrated that celecoxib and sulindac were effective in preventing TGF-β1-induced EMT, as indicated by upregulation of the epithelial marker, E-cadherin, and downregulation of mesenchymal markers and transcription factors. Moreover, celecoxib and sulindac could inhibit TGF-β1-enhanced migration and invasion of A549 cells. SIRT1 downregulation enhanced the reversal of TGF-β1-induced EMT by celecoxib or sulindac. In contrast, SIRT1 upregulation promoted TGF-β1-induced EMT. Taken together, these results indicate that celecoxib and sulindac can inhibit TGF-β1-induced EMT and suppress lung cancer cell migration and invasion via downregulation of SIRT1. Our findings implicate overexpressed SIRT1 as a potential therapeutic target to reverse TGF-β1-induced EMT and to prevent lung cancer cell migration and invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classically the oxidative stress and more recently inflammatory processes have been identified as the major causes of brain aging. Oxidative stress and inflammation affect each other, but there is more information about the effects of oxidative stress on aging than regarding the contribution of inflammation on it. METHODS In the intense research for methods to delay or mitigate the effects of aging, are interesting polyphenols, natural molecules synthesized by plants (e.g. resveratrol). Their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make them useful molecules in the prevention of aging. RESULTS The antiaging effects of polyphenols could be due to several related mechanisms, among which are the prevention of oxidative stress, SIRT1 activation and inflammaging modulation, via regulation of some signaling pathways, such as NF-κB. CONCLUSION In this review, we describe the positive effects of polyphenols on the prevention of the changes that occur during aging in the brain and their consequences on cognition, emphasizing the possible modulation of inflammaging by polyphenols through a SIRT1-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
Aging is a complex physiological phenomenon. The question why some subjects grow old while remaining free from disease whereas others prematurely die remains largely unanswered. We focus here on the role of air pollution in biological aging. Hallmarks of aging can be grouped into three main categories: genomic instability, telomere attrition, and epigenetic alterations leading to altered mitochondrial function and cellular senescence. At birth, the initial telomere length of a person is largely determined by environmental factors. Telomere length shortens with each cell division and exposure to air pollution as well as low residential greens space exposure is associated with shorter telomere length. Recent studies show that the estimated effects of particulate air pollution exposure on the telomere mitochondrial axis of aging may play an important role in chronic health effects of air pollution. The exposome encompasses all exposures over an entire life. As telomeres can be considered as the cellular memories of exposure to oxidative stress and inflammation, telomere maintenance may be a proxy for assessing the "exposome". If telomeres are causally related to the aging phenotype and environmental air pollution is an important determinant of telomere length, this might provide new avenues for future preventive strategies.

Role of silent information regulator 1 in the protective effect of hydrogen sulfide on homocysteine-induced cognitive dysfunction: Involving reduction of hippocampal ER stress. Behav Brain Res 2018; 342:35-42. [PMID: 29307666 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2017.12.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2017] [Revised: 12/15/2017] [Accepted: 12/31/2017] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) causes cognitive deficits and hippocampal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our previous study has confirmed that Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) attenuates Hcy-induced cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal ER stress. Silent information regulator 1 (Sirt-1) is indispensable in the formation of learning and memory. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the role of Sirt-1 in the protective effect of H2S against Hcy-induced cognitive dysfunction. We found that NaHS (a donor of H2S) markedly up-regulated the expression of Sirt-1 in the hippocampus of Hcy-exposed rats. Sirtinol, a specific inhibitor of Sirt-1, reversed the improving role of NaHS in the cognitive function of Hcy-exposed rats, as evidenced by that sirtinol increased the escape latency and the swim distance in the acquisition trial of morris water maze (MWM) test, decreased the times crossed through and the time spent in the target quadrant in the probe trail of MWM test, and reduced the discrimination index in the novel object recognition test (NORT) in the rats cotreated with NaHS and Hcy. We also found that sirtinol reversed the protection of NaHS against Hcy-induced hippocampal ER-stress, as evidenced by up-regulating the expressions of GRP78, CHOP, and cleaved caspase-12 in the hippocampus of rats cotreated with NaHS and Hcy. These results suggested the contribution of upregulation of hippocampal Sirt-1 to the improving role of H2S in the cognitive function of Hcy-exposed rats, which involves suppression of hippocampal ER stress. Our finding provides a new insight into the mechanism underlying the inhibitory role of H2S in Hcy-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
SIRT1 protein, a member of Silent Information Regulator 2 (Sir2) protein family, have gained considerable attention as epigenetic regulators for a great area in the human physiology. Changes in sirtuin expression are critical in several diseases, including metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegeneration. Here, we provide an overview of the association of the increasing level of SIRT1 protein for regulating some disease related conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegeneration. This review also provides a detailed molecular understanding of the interaction of the some basic molecules with increasing SIRT1 levels rather than reduction of the SIRT1 expression. In this context, the current approaches to enhancing the expression of SIRT1 points the importance of epigenetics in several age-related diseases to provide a healthy aging by developing novel therapies which can prevent or damp the progression of some diseases.
