SIRT5-Mediated Desuccinylation of RAB7A Protects Against Cadmium-Induced Alzheimer's Disease-Like Pathology by Restoring Autophagic Flux. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2402030.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a neurotoxic contaminant that induces cognitive decline similar to that observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Autophagic flux dysfunction is attributed to the pathogenesis of AD, and this study aimed to investigate the effect of autophagy on environmental Cd-induced AD progression and the underlying mechanism. Here, Cd exposure inhibited autophagosome-lysosome fusion and impaired lysosomal function, leading to defects in autophagic clearance and then to APP accumulation and nerve cell death. Proteomic analysis coupled with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) identified SIRT5 as an essential molecular target in Cd-impaired autophagic flux. Mechanistically, Cd exposure hampered the expression of SIRT5, thus increasing the succinylation of RAB7A at lysine 31 and inhibiting RAB7A activity, which contributed to autophagic flux blockade. Importantly, SIRT5 overexpression led to the restoration of autophagic flux blockade, the alleviation of Aβ deposition and memory deficits, and the desuccinylation of RAB7A in Cd-exposed FAD4T mice. Additionally, SIRT5 levels decrease mainly in neurons but not in other cell clusters in the brains of AD patients according to single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from the public dataset GSE188545. This study reveals that SIRT5-catalysed RAB7A desuccinylation is an essential adaptive mechanism for the amelioration of Cd-induced autophagic flux blockade and AD-like pathogenesis.

Abstract
The greatest challenges that organisms face today are effective responses or detection of life-threatening environmental changes due to an obvious semblance of stress and metabolic fluctuations. These are associated with different pathological conditions among which cancer is most important. Sirtuins (SIRTs; NAD+-dependent enzymes) are versatile enzymes with diverse substrate preferences, cellular locations, crucial for cellular processes and pathological conditions. This article describes in detail the distinct roles of SIRT isoforms, unveiling their potential as either cancer promoters or suppressors and also explores how both natural and synthetic compounds influence the SIRT function, indicating promise for therapeutic applications. We also discussed the inhibitors/activators tailored to specific SIRTs, holding potential for diseases lacking effective treatments. It may uncover the lesser-studied SIRT isoforms (e.g., SIRT6, SIRT7) and their unique functions. This article also offers a comprehensive overview of SIRTs, linking them to a spectrum of diseases and highlighting their potential for targeted therapies, combination approaches, disease management, and personalized medicine. We aim to contribute to a transformative era in healthcare and innovative treatments by unraveling the intricate functions of SIRTs.

Sirtuin 5 alleviates apoptosis and autophagy stimulated by ammonium chloride in bovine mammary epithelial cells. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:295. [PMID: 38827477 PMCID: PMC11140291 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is an irritating and harmful gas that affects cell apoptosis and autophagy. Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) has multiple enzymatic activities and regulates NH3-induced autophagy in tumor cells. In order to determine whether SIRT5 regulates NH3-induced bovine mammary epithelial cell apoptosis and autophagy, cells with SIRT5 overexpression or knockdown were generated and in addition, bovine mammary epithelial cells were treated with SIRT5 inhibitors. The results showed that SIRT5 overexpression reduced the content of NH3 and glutamate in cells by inhibiting glutaminase activity in glutamine metabolism, and reduced the ratio of ADP/ATP. The results in the SIRT5 knockdown and inhibitor groups were comparable, including increased content of NH3 and glutamate in cells by activating glutaminase activity, and an elevated ratio of ADP/ATP. It was further confirmed that SIRT5 inhibited the apoptosis and autophagy of bovine mammary epithelial cells through reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blot, flow cytometry with Annexin V FITC/PI staining and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, it was also found that the addition of LY294002 or Rapamycin inhibited the PI3K/Akt or mTOR kinase signal, decreasing the apoptosis and autophagy activities of bovine mammary epithelial cells induced by SIRT5-inhibited NH3. In summary, the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal involved in NH3-induced cell autophagy and apoptosis relies on the regulation of SIRT5. This study provides a new theory for the use of NH3 to regulate bovine mammary epithelial cell apoptosis and autophagy, and provides guidance for improving the health and production performance of dairy cows.

Abstract
Background Mitochondrial creatine kinase (MtCK) plays a pivotal role in cellular energy metabolism, exhibiting enhanced expression in various tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Creatine kinase mitochondrial 2 (CKMT2) is a subtype of MtCK; however, its clinical significance, biological functions, and underlying molecular mechanisms in CRC remain elusive. Methods We employed immunohistochemical staining to discern the expression of CKMT2 in CRC and adjacent nontumor tissues of patients. The correlation between CKMT2 levels and clinical pathological factors was assessed. Additionally, we evaluated the association between CKMT2 and the prognosis of CRC patients using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression analysis. Meanwhile, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of CKMT2 in different CRC cell lines. Finally, we explored the biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms of CKMT2 in CRC cells through various techniques, including qRT-PCR, cell culture, cell transfection, western blot, Transwell chamber assays, flow cytometry, and co-immunoprecipitation. Results We found that CKMT2 was significantly overexpressed in CRC tissues compared with adjacent nontumor tissues. The expression of CKMT2 is correlated with pathological types, tumor size, distant metastasis, and survival in CRC patients. Importantly, CKMT2 emerged as an independent prognostic factor through Cox regression analysis. Experimental downregulation of CKMT2 expression in CRC cell lines inhibited the migration and promoted apoptosis of these cells. Furthermore, we identified a novel role for CKMT2 in promoting aerobic glycolysis in CRC cells through interaction with lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB). Conclusion In this study, we found the elevated expression of CKMT2 in CRC, and it was a robust prognostic indicator in CRC patients. CKMT2 regulates glucose metabolism via amplifying the Warburg effect through interaction with LDHB, which promotes the growth and progression of CRC. These insights unveil a novel regulatory mechanism by which CKMT2 influences CRC and provide promising targets for future CRC therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
To survive in the tumour microenvironment, cancer cells undergo rapid metabolic reprograming and adaptability. One of the key characteristics of cancer is increased glycolytic selectivity and decreased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Apart from ATP synthesis, glycolysis is also responsible for NADH regeneration and macromolecular biosynthesis, such as amino acid biosynthesis and nucleotide biosynthesis. This allows cancer cells to survive and proliferate even in low-nutrient and oxygen conditions, making glycolytic enzymes a promising target for various anti-cancer agents. Oncogenic activation is also caused by the uncontrolled production and activity of glycolytic enzymes. Nevertheless, in addition to conventional glycolytic processes, some glycolytic enzymes are involved in non-canonical functions such as transcriptional regulation, autophagy, epigenetic changes, inflammation, various signaling cascades, redox regulation, oxidative stress, obesity and fatty acid metabolism, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders, and hypoxia. The mechanisms underlying the non-canonical glycolytic enzyme activities are still not comprehensive. This review summarizes the current findings on the mechanisms fundamental to the non-glycolytic actions of glycolytic enzymes and their intermediates in maintaining the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) reversibly catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate or lactate to pyruvate and expressed in various malignancies. However, the role of LDHB in modulating immune responses against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unknown. Here, we found that down-regulation of lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) was coupled with the promoter hypermethylation and knocking down the DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT 3A) restored LDHB expression levels in HCC cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis of the HCC cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a significant positive correlation between LDHB expression and immune regulatory signaling pathways and immune cell infiltrations. Moreover, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown considerable promise for HCC treatment and patients with higher LDHB expression responded better to ICIs. Finally, we found that overexpression of LDHB suppressed HCC growth in immunocompetent but not in immunodeficient mice, suggesting that the host immune system was involved in the LDHB-medicated tumor suppression. Our findings indicate that DNMT3A-mediated epigenetic silencing of LDHB may contribute to HCC progression through remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment, and LDHB may become a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC immunotherapy.

Integrated analysis of single cell-RNA sequencing and Mendelian randomization identifies lactate dehydrogenase B as a target of melatonin in ischemic stroke. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14741. [PMID: 38702940 PMCID: PMC11069049 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Despite the success of single-cell RNA sequencing in identifying cellular heterogeneity in ischemic stroke, clarifying the mechanisms underlying these associations of differently expressed genes remains challenging. Several studies that integrate gene expression and gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) with genome wide-association study (GWAS) data to determine their causal role have been proposed. METHODS Here, we combined Mendelian randomization (MR) framework and single cell (sc) RNA sequencing to study how differently expressed genes (DEGs) mediating the effect of gene expression on ischemic stroke. The hub gene was further validated in the in vitro model. RESULTS We identified 2339 DEGs in 10 cell clusters. Among these DEGs, 58 genes were associated with the risk of ischemic stroke. After external validation with eQTL dataset, lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) is identified to be positively associated with ischemic stroke. The expression of LDHB has also been validated in sc RNA-seq with dominant expression in microglia and astrocytes, and melatonin is able to reduce the LDHB expression and activity in vitro ischemic models. CONCLUSION Our study identifies LDHB as a novel biomarker for ischemic stroke via combining the sc RNA-seq and MR analysis.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming occurs to meet cancer cells' high energy demand. Its function is essential to the survival of malignancies. Comparing cancer cells to non-malignant cells has revealed that cancer cells have altered metabolism. Several pathways, particularly mTOR, Akt, PI3K, and HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) modulate the metabolism of cancer. Among other aspects of cancer biology, gene expression in metabolism, survival, invasion, proliferation, and angiogenesis of cells are controlled by HIF-1, a vital controller of cellular responsiveness to hypoxia. This article examines various cancer cell metabolisms, metabolic alterations that can take place in cancer cells, metabolic pathways, and molecular aspects of metabolic alteration in cancer cells placing special attention on the consequences of hypoxia-inducible factor and summarising some of their novel targets in the treatment of cancer including leukemia. A brief description of HIF-1α's role and target in a few common types of hematological malignancies (leukemia) is also elucidated in the present article.

[PMID: 38397988 PMCID: PMC10886574 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are stress-responsive proteins that regulate several post-translational modifications, partly by acetylation, deacetylation, and affecting DNA methylation. As a result, they significantly regulate several cellular processes. In essence, they prolong lifespan and control the occurrence of spontaneous tumor growth. Members of the SIRT family have the ability to govern embryonic, hematopoietic, and other adult stem cells in certain tissues and cell types in distinct ways. Likewise, they can have both pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects on cancer stem cells, contingent upon the specific tissue from which they originate. The impact of autophagy on cancer stem cells, which varies depending on the specific circumstances, is a very intricate phenomenon that has significant significance for clinical and therapeutic purposes. SIRTs exert an impact on the autophagy process, whereas autophagy reciprocally affects the activity of certain SIRTs. The mechanism behind this connection in cancer stem cells remains poorly understood. This review presents the latest findings that position SIRTs at the point where cancer cells and autophagy interact. Our objective is to highlight the various roles of distinct SIRTs in cancer stem cell-related functions through autophagy. This would demonstrate their significance in the genesis and recurrence of cancer and offer a more precise understanding of their treatment possibilities in relation to autophagy.

Abstract
Glioma cells exhibit genetic and metabolic alterations that affect the deregulation of several cellular signal transduction pathways, including those related to glucose metabolism. Moreover, oncogenic signaling pathways induce the expression of metabolic genes, increasing the metabolic enzyme activities and thus the critical biosynthetic pathways to generate nucleotides, amino acids, and fatty acids, which provide energy and metabolic intermediates that are essential to accomplish the biosynthetic needs of glioma cells. In this review, we aim to explore how dysregulated metabolic enzymes and their metabolites from primary metabolism pathways in glioblastoma (GBM) such as glycolysis and glutaminolysis modulate anabolic and catabolic metabolic pathways as well as pro-oncogenic signaling and contribute to the formation, survival, growth, and malignancy of glioma cells. Also, we discuss promising therapeutic strategies by targeting the key players in metabolic regulation. Therefore, the knowledge of metabolic reprogramming is necessary to fully understand the biology of malignant gliomas to improve patient survival significantly.

Abstract
Significance: Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases regulating important processes in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Recent Advances: Despite initially being discovered to regulate transcription and life span via histone deacetylase activities, emerging data continually uncover new targets and propose additional roles. Due to the outstanding importance of the sirtuins in the control of the inflammatory response, their roles in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory-based diseases have become an area of intense research. Although sirtuins have been traditionally regarded as anti-inflammatory players, several recent findings suggest that their role in inflammation is complex and that in some cases sirtuins can indeed promote inflammation. Critical Issues: In this article, we provide an update on the latest findings concerning the new mechanisms of action and concepts about the role of sirtuins during inflammation. We focus on the impact that inflammatory-based processes exert on the liver, adipose tissue, and nervous system as well as on macrophage function and activation. Also, we discuss available data pointing to the dual role that, in particular contexts, sirtuins may have on inflammation control. Future Directions: Since the knowledge of sirtuin impact on metabolism is continually expanding, new venues of research arise. Besides become being regarded as candidates of therapeutic targets, posttranscriptional control of sirtuin expression by means of microRNAs challenges our traditional concepts of sirtuin regulation; importantly, the emerging role of NAD+ metabolism in aging and longevity has added a new dimension to the interest in sirtuin function.

Abstract
Human sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) participates in a variety of metabolic disorder-associated diseases, including cancer. Inhibition of SIRT5 has been confirmed to provide a new strategy for treatment of related diseases. Previously, we discovered a pyrimidine skeleton inhibitor XIV, which showed low micromolar inhibitory activity against SIRT5. Herein, we utilized the scaffold-hopping strategy to design and synthesize a series of 2,4,6- trisubstituted triazine derivatives. The SAR analysis led to the discovery of several new SIRT5 inhibitors with low micromolar inhibition levels. The most potent compounds 10 (IC50 = 5.38 µM), and 14 (IC50 = 4.07 µM) were further confirmed to be the substrate-competitive SIRT5 inhibitors through enzyme kinetic assays, which is consistent with the molecular docking analyses. Fluorescence-based thermal shift assays proved that these compounds may stabilize SIRT5 by binding withprotein.. In addition, compounds 10 and 14 were also revealed to have moderate selectivity to SIRT5 over SIRT1-3. This study will aid further efforts to develop highly potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and other related diseases.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of lactate to pyruvate while reducing NAD+ to NADH (or oxidizing NADH to NAD+). Due to its central role in the Warburg effect, LDH-A isoform has been considered a promising target for treating several types of cancer. However, research on inhibitors targeting LDH-B isoform is still limited, despite the enzyme's implication in the development of specific cancer types such as breast and lung cancer. This study aimed to identify small-molecule compounds that specifically inhibit LDH-B. Our in silico analysis identified eight commercially available compounds that may affect LDH-B activity. The best five candidates, namely tucatinib, capmatinib, moxidectin, rifampicin, and acetyldigoxin, were evaluated further in vitro. Our results revealed that two compounds, viz., tucatinib and capmatinib, currently used for treating breast and lung cancer, respectively, could also act as inhibitors of LDH-B. Both compounds inhibited LDH-B activity through an uncompetitive mechanism, as observed in in vitro experiments. Molecular dynamics studies further support these findings. Together, our results suggest that two known drugs currently being used to treat specific cancer types may have a dual effect and target more than one enzyme that facilitates the development of these types of cancers. Furthermore, the results of this study could be used as a new starting point for identifying more potent and specific LDH-B inhibitors.

Abstract
Aging is a natural and complex biological process that is associated with widespread functional declines in numerous physiological processes, terminally affecting multiple organs and tissues. Fibrosis and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) often occur with aging, imposing large burdens on public health worldwide, and there are currently no effective treatment strategies for these diseases. Mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3-5), which are members of the sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent deacylases and ADP-ribosyltransferases, are capable of regulating mitochondrial function by modifying mitochondrial proteins that participate in the regulation of cell survival under various physiological and pathological conditions. A growing body of evidence has revealed that SIRT3-5 exert protective effects against fibrosis in multiple organs and tissues, including the heart, liver, and kidney. SIRT3-5 are also involved in multiple age-related NDs, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Furthermore, SIRT3-5 have been noted as promising targets for antifibrotic therapies and the treatment of NDs. This review systematically highlights recent advances in knowledge regarding the role of SIRT3-5 in fibrosis and NDs and discusses SIRT3-5 as therapeutic targets for NDs and fibrosis.

Abstract
Sirtuins belong to the class III histone deacetylases and possess nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase activity. They are involved in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways implicated in cardiovascular diseases. Autophagy is a crucial adaptive cellular response to stress stimuli. Mounting evidence suggests a strong correlation between Sirtuins and autophagy, potentially involving cross-regulation and crosstalk. Sirtuin-mediated autophagy plays a crucial regulatory role in some cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypertension, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and drug-induced myocardial damage. In this context, we summarize the research advancements pertaining to various Sirtuins involved in autophagy and the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy. We also elucidate the biological function of Sirtuins across diverse cardiovascular diseases and further discuss the development of novel drugs that regulate Sirtuin-mediated autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is reported to be the leading cause of death in males and females, globally. Increasing evidence highlights the paramount importance of Lactate dehydrogenase D (LDHD) in different types of cancers, though it's role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still inadequately explored. In this study, we aimed to investigate and determine the relationship between LDHD and LUAD. METHODS The collection of the samples was guided by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To ascertain various aspects around LDHD function, we analyzed different expression genes (DEGs), functional enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. The predictive values for LDHD were collectively determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, Cox regression analysis, and a nomogram. Evaluation of the immune infiltration analysis was completed using Estimate and ssGSEA. The prediction of the immunotherapy response was based on TIDE and IPS. The LDHD expression levels in LUAD were validated through Western blot, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry methods. Wound healing and transwell assays were also performed to illustrate the aggressive features in LUAD cell lines. RESULTS The results showed that LDHD was generally downregulated in LUAD patients, with the low LDHD group presenting a decline in OS, DSS, and PFI. Enriched pathways, which include pyruvate metabolism, central carbon metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation were observed through KEGG analysis. It was also noted that the expression of LDHD expression was inversely related to immune cell infiltration and typical checkpoints. The high LDHD group's response to immunotherapy was remarkable, particularly in CTAL4 + /PD1- therapy. In vitro studies revealed that the overexpression of LDHD caused tumor migration and invasion to be suppressed. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our study revealed that LDHD might be an effective predictor of prognosis and immune filtration, possibly leading to better choices for immunotherapy.

LncRNA GLTC targets LDHA for succinylation and enzymatic activity to promote progression and radioiodine resistance in papillary thyroid cancer. Cell Death Differ 2023; 30:1517-1532. [PMID: 37031273 PMCID: PMC10244348 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-023-01157-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Dysregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been associated with the development and progression of many human cancers. Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) enzymatic activity is also crucial for cancer development, including the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). However, whether specific lncRNAs can regulate LDHA activity during cancer progression remains unclear. Through screening, we identified an LDHA-interacting lncRNA, GLTC, which is required for the increased aerobic glycolysis and cell viability in PTC. GLTC was significantly upregulated in PTC tissues compared with nontumour thyroid tissues. High expression of GLTC was correlated with more extensive distant metastasis, a larger tumour size, and poorer prognosis. Mass spectrometry revealed that GLTC, as a binding partner of LDHA, promotes the succinylation of LDHA at lysine 155 (K155) via competitive inhibition of the interaction between SIRT5 and LDHA, thereby promoting LDHA enzymatic activity. Overexpression of the succinylation mimetic LDHAK155E mutant restored glycolytic metabolism and cell viability in cells in which metabolic reprogramming and cell viability were ceased due to GLTC depletion. Interestingly, GLTC inhibition abrogated the effects of K155-succinylated LDHA on radioiodine (RAI) resistance in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results indicate that GLTC plays an oncogenic role and is an attractive target for RAI sensitisation in PTC treatment.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15082195. [PMID: 37190124 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15082195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic changes are an important component of tumor cell progression. Tumor cells adapt to environmental stresses via changes to carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Autophagy, a physiological process in mammalian cells that digests damaged organelles and misfolded proteins via lysosomal degradation, is closely associated with metabolism in mammalian cells, acting as a meter of cellular ATP levels. In this review, we discuss the changes in glycolytic and lipid biosynthetic pathways in mammalian cells and their impact on carcinogenesis via the autophagy pathway. In addition, we discuss the impact of these metabolic pathways on autophagy in lung cancer.

Abstract
Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) is a predominantly mitochondrial enzyme catalyzing the removal of glutaryl, succinyl, malonyl, and acetyl groups from lysine residues through a NAD+-dependent deacylase mechanism. SIRT5 is an important regulator of cellular homeostasis and modulates the activity of proteins involved in different metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, fatty acid oxidation, electron transport chain, generation of ketone bodies, nitrogenous waste management, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification. SIRT5 controls a wide range of aspects of myocardial energy metabolism and plays critical roles in heart physiology and stress responses. Moreover, SIRT5 has a protective function in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, while it acts as a context-dependent tumor promoter or suppressor. In addition, current research has demonstrated that SIRT5 is implicated in the SARS-CoV-2 infection, although opposing conclusions have been drawn in different studies. Here, we review the current knowledge on SIRT5 molecular actions under both healthy and diseased settings, as well as its functional effects on metabolic targets. Finally, we revise the potential of SIRT5 as a therapeutic target and provide an overview of the currently reported SIRT5 modulators, which include both activators and inhibitors.

Role of SIRT5 in cancer. Friend or Foe? Biochimie 2023; 209:131-141.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the main diseases currently afflicting mankind, being difficult to treat and generating thousands of deaths per year. As a result, researchers around the world are constantly searching for new therapeutic strategies to increase the survival rate of patients. In this regard, SIRT5 may be a promising therapeutic target due to its involvement in many metabolic pathways. Notably, SIRT5 has a dual role in the context of cancer, being able to act as a tumor suppressor in some types of cancer and behaving as an oncogene in others. Interestingly, the performance of SIRT5 is not specific and is highly dependent on the cellular context. As a tumor suppressor, SIRT5 prevents the Warburg effect, increases protection against ROS and reduces cell proliferation and metastasis, while as an oncogene it has the opposite effects as well as increasing resistance to chemotherapeutics and/or radiation. In this way, the aim of this work was to identify in which cancers SIRT5 has beneficial effects and in which deleterious ones based on their molecular characteristics. Furthermore, it was analyzed whether it is feasible to use this protein as a therapeutic target, either enhancing its activity or inhibiting it as appropriate.

Abstract
Sirtuins and autophagy are well-characterized agents that can promote longevity and protect individual organisms from age-associated diseases like neurodegenerative disorders. In recent years, more and more data has been obtained that discerned potential overlaps and crosstalk between Sirtuin proteins and autophagic activity. This review aims to summarize the advances within the field for each individual Sirtuin in mammalian systems. In brief, most Sirtuins have been implicated in promoting autophagy, with Sirtuin 1 and Sirtuin 6 showing the highest immediate involvement, while Sirtuin 4 and Sirtuin 5 only demonstrate occasional influence. The way Sirtuins regulate autophagy, however, is very diverse, as they have been shown to regulate gene expression of autophagy-associated genes and posttranslational modifications of proteins, with consequences for the activity and cellular localization of these proteins. They have also been shown to determine specific proteins for autophagic degradation. Overall, much data has been accumulated over recent years, yet many open questions remain. Especially although the dynamic between Sirtuin proteins and the immediate regulation of autophagic players like Light Chain 3B has been confirmed, many of these proteins have various orthologues in mammalian systems, and research so far has not exceeded the bona fide components of autophagy.

Abstract
Sirtiun 5 (SIRT5) is a NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacylase. It is emerging as a promising target for the development of drugs to treat cancer and metabolism-related diseases. In this study, we screened 5000 compounds and identified a hit compound 14 bearing a pyrazolone functional group as a novel SIRT5-selective inhibitor. Structure-based optimization of 14 resulted in compound 47 with an IC50 value of 0.21 ± 0.02 μM and a 100-fold improved potency. Compound 47 showed substantial selectivity for SIRT5 over SIRT1-3 and SIRT6. Biochemical studies suggest that 47 does not occupy the NAD + -binding pocket and acts as a substrate-competitive inhibitor. The identified potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitors allow further studies as research tools and therapeutic agents.

BMC Mol Cell Biol 2023; 24:3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alterations in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contribute to the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain unknown. The present study aimed to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying VSMC-mediated IAs. METHODS Expression of the circular RNA circ-ATL1 and microRNA miR-455 was detected in IAs by RT-qPCR. Interactions between circ-ATL1, miR-455 and SIRT5 were examined by luciferase reporter analysis and RT-qPCR. The regulatory roles of circ-ATL1, miR-455 and SIRT5 in VSMC migration, proliferation and phenotypic modulation were also examined by CCK8, Transwell® migration and western blot assays. RESULTS Biochemical and bioinformatic techniques were used to demonstrate that circ-ATL1 and miR-455 participated in disparate biological processes relevant to aneurysm formation. Clinically, increased expression of circ-ATL1 and downregulated miR-455 expression were observed in IA patients compared with healthy subjects. Silencing of circ-ATL1 led to suppression of VSMC migration, proliferation and phenotypic modulation. Both SIRT5 and miR-455 were found to be downstream targets of circ-ATL1. SIRT5 upregulation or miR-455 inhibition reversed the inhibitory effects induced by circ-ATL1 silencing on VSMC proliferation, migration and phenotypic modulation. We found that VSMC phenotypic modulation by circ-ATL1 upregulation and miR-455 downregulation had a critical role in the development and formation of AIs. Specifically, circ-ATL1 downregulation reversed IA formation. CONCLUSION Our data provide the theoretical basis for future studies on potential clinical treatment and prevention of IAs.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a potential therapeutic target for different kinds of pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other conditions. Moreover, identification of SIRT modulators and exploring the functions of these different modulators have prompted increased efforts to discover new small molecules, which can modify SIRT activity. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials have indicated that different interventions might affect the expression of SIRT protein in human samples, and supplementation of SIRT modulators might have diverse impact on physiological function in different participants. In this review, we introduce the history and structure of the SIRT protein family, discuss the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of seven members of the SIRT protein family, elaborate on the regulatory roles of SIRTs in human disease, summarize SIRT inhibitors and activators, and review related clinical studies.

Understanding the Contribution of Lactate Metabolism in Cancer Progress: A Perspective from Isomers. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010087. [PMID: 36612084 PMCID: PMC9817756 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Lactate mediates multiple cell-intrinsic effects in cancer metabolism in terms of development, maintenance, and metastasis and is often correlated with poor prognosis. Its functions are undertaken as an energy source for neighboring carcinoma cells and serve as a lactormone for oncogenic signaling pathways. Indeed, two isomers of lactate are produced in the Warburg effect: L-lactate and D-lactate. L-lactate is the main end-production of glycolytic fermentation which catalyzes glucose, and tiny D-lactate is fabricated through the glyoxalase system. Their production inevitably affects cancer development and therapy. Here, we systematically review the mechanisms of lactate isomers production, and highlight emerging evidence of the carcinogenic biological effects of lactate and its isomers in cancer. Accordingly, therapy that targets lactate and its metabolism is a promising approach for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, is defined as irreversible cell cycle arrest in response to various stimuli. It plays both beneficial and detrimental roles in cellular homeostasis and diseases. Quality control (QC) is important for the proper maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The QC machineries regulate the integrity of RNA and protein by repairing or degrading them, and are dysregulated during cellular senescence. QC dysfunction also contributes to multiple age-related diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative, muscle, and cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we describe the characters of cellular senescence, discuss the major mechanisms of RNA and protein QC in cellular senescence and aging, and comprehensively describe the involvement of these QC machineries in age-related diseases. There are many open questions regarding RNA and protein QC in cellular senescence and aging. We believe that a better understanding of these topics could propel the development of new strategies for addressing age-related diseases.

Abstract
Rewired metabolism is acknowledged as one of the drivers of tumor growth. As a result, aerobic glycolysis, or the Warburg effect, is a feature of many cancers. Increased glucose uptake and glycolysis provide intermediates for anabolic reactions necessary for cancer cell proliferation while contributing sufficient energy. However, the accompanying increased lactate production, seemingly wasting glucose carbon, was originally explained only by the need to regenerate NAD+ for successive rounds of glycolysis by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reaction in the cytosol. After the discovery of a mitochondrial LDH isoform, lactate oxidation entered the picture, and lactate was recognized as an important oxidative fuel. It has also been revealed that lactate serves a variety of signaling functions and helps cells adapt to the new environment. Here, we discuss recent findings on lactate metabolism and signaling in cancer while attempting to explain why the Warburg effect is adopted by cancer cells.

Abstract
SIRT1 functions by regulating the modification of proteins or interacting with other proteins to form complexes. It has been widely studied and found to play significant roles in various biological processes and diseases. However, systematic studies on activated-SIRT1 interactions remain limited. Here, we present a comprehensive SIRT1 interactome under resveratrol stimulation through proximity labeling methods. Our results demonstrated that RanGap1 interacted with SIRT1 in HEK 293T cells and MCF-7 cells. SIRT1 regulated the protein level of RanGap1 and had no obvious effect on RanGap1 transcription. Moreover, the overexpression of Rangap1 increased the ROS level in MCF-7 cells, which sensitized cells to resveratrol and reduced the cell viability. These findings provide evidence that RanGap1 interacts with SIRT1 and influences intracellular ROS, critical signals for mitochondrial functions, cell proliferation and transcription. Additionally, we identified that the SIRT1-RanGap1 interaction affects downstream signals induced by ROS. Overall, our study provides an essential resource for future studies on the interactions of resveratrol-activated SIRT1. There are conflicts about the relationship between resveratrol and ROS in previous reports. However, our data identified the impact of the resveratrol-SIRT1-RanGap1 axis on intracellular ROS.

Abstract
The nature of redox is electron transfer; in this way, energy metabolism brings redox stress. Lactate production is associated with NAD regeneration, which is now recognized to play a role in maintaining redox homeostasis. The cellular lactate/pyruvate ratio could be described as a proxy for the cytosolic NADH/NAD ratio, meaning lactate metabolism is the key to redox regulation. Here, we review the role of lactate dehydrogenases in cellular redox regulation, which play the role of the direct regulator of lactate–pyruvate transforming. Lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs) are found in almost all animal tissues; while LDHA catalyzed pyruvate to lactate, LDHB catalyzed the reverse reaction . LDH enzyme activity affects cell oxidative stress with NAD/NADH regulation, especially LDHA recently is also thought as an ROS sensor. We focus on the mutual regulation of LDHA and redox robustness. ROS accumulation regulates the transcription of LDHA. Conversely, diverse post-translational modifications of LDHA, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, play important roles in enzyme activity on ROS elimination, emphasizing the potential role of the ROS sensor and regulator of LDHA.

Abstract
High serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are typically associated with a poor prognosis in many cancer types. Even the most effective drugs, which have radically improved outcomes in patients with melanoma over the past decade, provide only marginal benefit to those with high serum LDH levels. When viewed separately from the oncological, biochemical, biological and immunological perspectives, serum LDH is often interpreted in very different ways. Oncologists usually see high serum LDH only as a robust biomarker of a poor prognosis, and biochemists are aware of the complexity of the various LDH isoforms and of their key roles in cancer metabolism, whereas LDH is typically considered to be oncogenic and/or immunosuppressive by cancer biologists and immunologists. Integrating these various viewpoints shows that the regulation of the five LDH isoforms, and their enzymatic and non-enzymatic functions is closely related to key oncological processes. In this Review, we highlight that serum LDH is far more than a simple indicator of tumour burden; it is a complex biomarker associated with the activation of several oncogenic signalling pathways as well as with the metabolic activity, invasiveness and immunogenicity of many tumours, and constitutes an extremely attractive target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Deregulation of protein post-translational modifications is intensively involved in the etiology of diseases, including degenerative diseases, inflammatory injuries, and cancers. Acetylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications of proteins, and the acetylation levels are controlled by two mutually antagonistic enzyme families, histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). HATs loosen the chromatin structure by neutralizing the positive charge of lysine residues of histones; whereas HDACs deacetylate certain histones, thus inhibiting gene transcription. Compared with HATs, HDACs have been more intensively studied, particularly regarding their clinical significance. HDACs extensively participate in the regulation of proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, immune escape, and therapeutic resistance of cancer cells, thus emerging as critical targets for clinical cancer therapy. Compared to HATs, inhibitors of HDAC have been clinically used for cancer treatment. Here, we enumerate and integratethe mechanisms of HDAC family members in tumorigenesis and cancer progression, and address the new and exciting therapeutic implications of single or combined HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer. Currently, mammography and breast ultrasonography are the main clinical screening methods for BC. Our study aimed to reveal the specific metabolic profiles of BC patients and explore the specific metabolic signatures in human plasma for BC diagnosis. METHODS This study enrolled 216 participants, including BC patients, benign patients, and healthy controls (HC) and formed two cohorts, one training cohort and one testing cohort. Plasma samples were collected from each participant and subjected to perform nontargeted metabolomics and proteomics. The metabolic signatures for BC diagnosis were identified through machine learning. RESULTS Metabolomics analysis revealed that BC patients showed a significant change of metabolic profiles compared to HC individuals. The alanine, aspartate and glutamate pathways, glutamine and glutamate metabolic pathways, and arginine biosynthesis pathways were the critical biological metabolic pathways in BC. Proteomics identified 29 upregulated and 2 downregulated proteins in BC. Our integrative analysis found that aspartate aminotransferase (GOT1), L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain (LDHB), glutathione synthetase (GSS), and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) were closely involved in these metabolic pathways. Support vector machine (SVM) demonstrated a predictive model with 47 metabolites, and this model achieved a high accuracy in BC prediction (AUC = 1). Besides, this panel of metabolites also showed a fairly high predictive power in the testing cohort between BC vs HC (AUC = 0.794), and benign vs HC (AUC = 0.879). CONCLUSIONS This study uncovered specific changes in the metabolic and proteomic profiling of breast cancer patients and identified a panel of 47 plasma metabolites, including sphingomyelins, glutamate, and cysteine could be potential diagnostic biomarkers for breast cancer.

Abstract
Mitochondria are not only the main energy supplier but are also the cell metabolic center regulating multiple key metaborates that play pivotal roles in epigenetics regulation. These metabolites include acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), NAD+, and O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), which are the main substrates for DNA methylation and histone post-translation modifications, essential for gene transcriptional regulation and cell fate determination. Tumorigenesis is attributed to many factors, including gene mutations and tumor microenvironment. Mitochondria and epigenetics play essential roles in tumor initiation, evolution, metastasis, and recurrence. Targeting mitochondrial metabolism and epigenetics are promising therapeutic strategies for tumor treatment. In this review, we summarize the roles of mitochondria in key metabolites required for epigenetics modification and in cell fate regulation and discuss the current strategy in cancer therapies via targeting epigenetic modifiers and related enzymes in metabolic regulation. This review is an important contribution to the understanding of the current metabolic-epigenetic-tumorigenesis concept.

Abstract
Despite the dynamic development of cancer research, annually millions of people die of cancer. The human immune system is the major 'guard' against tumor development. Unfortunately, cancer cells have the ability to evade the immune system and continue to grow. The proper understanding of the intricate immune response in tumorigenesis remains the holy grail of cancer immunology and designing effective immunotherapy. To decode the immune responses in cancer, in recent years, proteomics studies have received considerable attention. Proteomics studies focus on the detection and quantification of proteins, which are the effectors of biological functions, and as such, are proven to reflect the cell state more accurately, in comparison to genomic or transcriptomic studies. In this review, we discuss the proteomics studies applied to characterize the immune responses in cancer and tumor immune microenvironment heterogeneity. Further, we describe emerging single-cell proteomics approaches that have the potential to be applied in cancer immunity studies.

Abstract
Sirtiun 5 (SIRT5) is a NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacylase primarily located in mitochondria. SIRT5 displays an affinity for negatively charged acyl groups and mainly catalyzes lysine deglutarylation, desuccinylation, and demalonylation while possessing weak deacetylase activity. SIRT5 substrates play crucial roles in metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification, and SIRT5 activity is protective in neuronal and cardiac physiology. Moreover, SIRT5 exhibits a dichotomous role in cancer, acting as context-dependent tumor promoter or suppressor. Given its multifaceted activity, SIRT5 is a promising target in the design of activators or inhibitors that might act as therapeutics in many pathologies, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. To date, few cellular-active peptide-based SIRT5 inhibitors (SIRT5i) have been described, and potent and selective small-molecule SIRT5i have yet to be discovered. In this perspective, we provide an outline of SIRT5's roles in different biological settings and describe SIRT5 modulators in terms of their mode of action, pharmacological activity, and structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
PurposeHost immunity influences the impact of cancer therapy but the effect of immune status in radioiodine (RAI)-treated differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) remains obscure. Here we investigated indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity as a biomarker of response to RAI in patients with distant metastatic DTC (dmDTC).MethodsPatients with dmDTC receiving RAI were evaluated for serum IDO activity (kynurenine and kynurenine:tryptophan ratio) at baseline and 3 months after RAI. The optimal cut-off value for these biomarkers to predict response was established by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The relationship between disease outcomes, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and IDO activity levels was studied.ResultsHigher baseline kynurenine:tryptophan ratio (>2.46) was correlated with poorer RAI response as well as shorter median PFS (45 mo versus not reached, p=0.002) and OS (78 mo versus not reached, p=0.035). High baseline kynurenine:tryptophan ratio was also correlated with a reduced number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Higher post/pre-kynurenine ratio (>1.69) was associated with survival endpoints: shorter median PFS (48 mo versus not reached, p=0.002) and OS (68 mo versus not reached, p=0.010). Favorable baseline and favorable change corresponded with better PFS and OS.ConclusionsOur results suggest that RAI also alters IDO activity in dmDTC patients. IDO activity could predict progression and survival outcomes for advanced dmDTC patients. Serum IDO biomarker levels could be used to select dmDTC likely to benefit from RAI therapy, although further studies are necessary.

Melatonin Reverses the Warburg-Type Metabolism and Reduces Mitochondrial Membrane Potential of Ovarian Cancer Cells Independent of MT1 Receptor Activation. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144350. [PMID: 35889222 PMCID: PMC9321770 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27144350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, and melatonin has shown various antitumor properties. Herein, we investigated the influence of melatonin therapy on energy metabolism and mitochondrial integrity in SKOV-3 cells and tested whether its effects depended on MT1 receptor activation. SKOV-3 cells were exposed to different melatonin concentrations, and experimental groups were divided as to the presence of MT1 receptors (melatonin groups) or receptor absence by RNAi silencing (siRNA MT1+melatonin). Intracellular melatonin levels increased after treatment with melatonin independent of the MT1. The mitochondrial membrane potential of SKOV-3 cells decreased in the group treated with the highest melatonin concentration. Melatonin reduced cellular glucose consumption, while MT1 knockdown increased its consumption. Interconversion of lactate to pyruvate increased after treatment with melatonin and was remarkable in siRNA MT1 groups. Moreover, lactate dehydrogenase activity decreased with melatonin and increased after MT1 silencing at all concentrations. The UCSC XenaBrowser tool showed a positive correlation between the human ASMTL gene and the ATP synthase genes, succinate dehydrogenase gene (SDHD), and pyruvate dehydrogenase genes (PDHA and PDHB). We conclude that melatonin changes the glycolytic phenotype and mitochondrial integrity of SKOV-3 cells independent of the MT1 receptor, thus decreasing the survival advantage of OC cells.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading public health problem worldwide. Its treatment remains a daunting challenge, although significant progress has been made in existing treatments in recent years. A large concern is the poor therapeutic effect due to lack of specificity and low bioavailability. Gene therapy has recently emerged as a powerful tool for cancer therapy. However, delivery methods limit its therapeutic effects. Exosomes, a subset of extracellular vesicles secreted by most cells, have the characteristics of good biocompatibility, low toxicity and immunogenicity, and great designability. In the past decades, as therapeutic carriers and diagnostic markers, they have caught extensive attention. This review introduced the characteristics of exosomes, and focused on their applications as delivery carriers in DNA, messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA (miRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), circular RNA (circRNA) and other nucleic acids. Meanwhile, their application in cancer therapy and exosome-based clinical trials were presented and discussed. Through systematic summarization and analysis, the recent advances and current challenges of exosome-mediated nucleic acid delivery for cancer therapy are introduced, which will provide a theoretical basis for the development of nucleic acid drugs.

Abstract
Telomerase activity is elevated in most cancer cells and is required for telomere length maintenance and immortalization of cancer cells. Glucose metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer and accompanied with increased expression of key metabolic enzymes. Whether these enzymes influence telomerase activity and cell immortalization remains unclear. In the current study, we screened metabolic enzymes using telomerase activity assay and identified lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) as a regulator of telomerase activity. Sodium lactate and sodium pyruvate did not influence telomerase activity, indicating LDHB regulates telomerase activity independent of its metabolism regulating function. Further studies revealed that LDHB directly interacted with TERT and regulated the interaction between TERT and TERC. Additionally, long-term knockdown of LDHB inhibited cancer cell growth and induced cell senescence in vitro and in vivo. Higher LDHB expression was detected in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with that in adjacent normal tissues and expression of LDHB correlated negatively with prognosis. Thus, we identified LDHB as the first glucose metabolic enzyme contributing to telomerase activity and pancreatic cancer cell immortalization.

Abstract
"Exterior-interior correlation between the lung and large intestine" is one of the important contents of traditional Chinese medicine. This theory describes the role of the lung and the intestine in association with disease treatment. The "lung-gut" axis is a modern extension of the "exterior-interior correlation between lung and large intestine" theory in TCM. Sirtuin (SIRT) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent enzyme family with deacetylase properties, which is highly conserved from bacteria to humans. The sirtuin defines seven silencing regulatory proteins (SIRT1-7) in human cells. It can regulate aging, metabolism, and certain diseases. Current studies have shown that sirtuins have dual characteristics, acting as both tumor promoters and tumor inhibitors in cancers. This paper provides a comparative summary of the roles of SIRT1-7 in the intestine and lung (both inflammatory diseases and tumors), and the promoter/suppressor effects of targeting SIRT family microRNAs and modulators of inflammation or tumors. Sirtuins have great potential as drug targets for the treatment of intestinal and respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, it may provide new ideas of future drug target research.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex pathology that causes a large number of deaths worldwide. Several risk factors are involved in tumor transformation, including epigenetic factors. These factors are a set of changes that do not affect the DNA sequence, while modifying the gene’s expression. Histone modification is an essential mark in maintaining cellular memory and, therefore, loss of this mark can lead to tumor transformation. As these epigenetic changes are reversible, the use of molecules that can restore the functions of the enzymes responsible for the changes is therapeutically necessary. Natural molecules, mainly those isolated from medicinal plants, have demonstrated significant inhibitory properties against enzymes related to histone modifications, particularly histone deacetylases (HDACs). Flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic acids, and alkaloids exert significant inhibitory effects against HDAC and exhibit promising epi-drug properties. This suggests that epi-drugs against HDAC could prevent and treat various human cancers. Accordingly, the present study aimed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic action of different natural compounds extracted from medicinal plants against the enzymatic activity of HDAC.

Abstract
p53 is a classic tumor suppressor that functions in maintaining genome stability by inducing either cell arrest for damage repair or cell apoptosis to eliminate damaged cells in response to different types of stress. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of p53 are thought to be the most effective way for modulating of p53 activation. Here, we show that SIRT5 interacts with p53 and suppresses its transcriptional activity. Using mass spectrometric analysis, we identify a previously unknown PTM of p53, namely, succinylation of p53 at Lysine 120 (K120). SIRT5 mediates desuccinylation of p53 at K120, resulting in the suppression of p53 activation. Moreover, using double knockout mice (p53-/-Sirt5-/-), we validate that the suppression of p53 target gene expression and cell apoptosis upon DNA damage is dependent on cellular p53. Our study identifies a novel PTM of p53 that regulates its activation as well as reveals a new target of SIRT5 acting as a desuccinylase.

Tumor Cell Glycolysis—At the Crossroad of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Autophagy. Cells 2022; 11:cells11061041.

Abstract
Upregulation of glycolysis, induction of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy), are phenotypic changes that occur in tumor cells, in response to similar stimuli, either tumor cell-autonomous or from the tumor microenvironment. Available evidence, herein reviewed, suggests that glycolysis can play a causative role in the induction of EMT and autophagy in tumor cells. Thus, glycolysis has been shown to induce EMT and either induce or inhibit autophagy. Glycolysis-induced autophagy occurs both in the presence (glucose starvation) or absence (glucose sufficiency) of metabolic stress. In order to explain these, in part, contradictory experimental observations, we propose that in the presence of stimuli, tumor cells respond by upregulating glycolysis, which will then induce EMT and inhibit autophagy. In the presence of stimuli and glucose starvation, upregulated glycolysis leads to adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and autophagy induction. In the presence of stimuli and glucose sufficiency, upregulated glycolytic enzymes (e.g., aldolase or glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) or decreased levels of glycolytic metabolites (e.g., dihydroxyacetone phosphate) may mimic a situation of metabolic stress (herein referred to as “pseudostarvation”), leading, directly or indirectly, to AMPK activation and autophagy induction. We also discuss possible mechanisms, whereby glycolysis can induce a mixed mesenchymal/autophagic phenotype in tumor cells. Subsequently, we address unresolved problems in this field and possible therapeutic consequences.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of class III histone deacetylases (HDACs) consisting of seven members, widely expressed in mammals. SIRTs mainly participate in metabolic homeostasis, DNA damage repair, cell survival, and differentiation, as well as other cancer-related biological processes. Growing evidence shows that SIRTs have pivotal roles in chronic degenerative diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most frequent malignant disease worldwide. Metabolic alterations are gaining attention in the context of CRC development and progression, with mitochondrion representing a crucial point of complex and intricate molecular mechanisms. Mitochondrial SIRTs, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5, control mitochondrial homeostasis and dynamics. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on the latest advances on the role of mitochondrial SIRTs in the initiation, promotion and progression of CRC. A deeper understanding of the pathways by which mitochondrial SIRTs control CRC metabolism may provide new molecular targets for future innovative strategies for CRC prevention and therapy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed genital cancer in men worldwide. Among patients who developed advanced PCa, 80% suffered from bone metastasis, with a sharp drop in the survival rate. Despite great efforts, the detail of the mechanisms underlying castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) remain unclear. Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5), an NAD+-dependent desuccinylase, is hypothesized to be a key regulator of various cancers. However, compared to other SIRTs, the role of SIRT5 in cancer has not been extensively studied. Here, we showed significantly decreased SIRT5 levels in aggressive PCa cells relative to the PCa stages. The correlation between the decrease in the SIRT5 level and the patient's survival rate was also confirmed. Using quantitative global succinylome analysis, we characterized a significant increase of lysine 118 succinylation (K118su) of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), which plays a role in increasing LDH activity. As a substrate of SIRT5, LDHA-K118su significantly increased the migration and invasion of PCa cells and LDH activity in PCa patients. This study investigated the reduction of SIRT5 and LDHA-K118su as a novel mechanism involved in PCa progression, which can also be proposed as a new target that can prevent CPRC progression, which is key to PCa treatment.

Sirt5-mediated desuccinylation of OPTN protects retinal ganglion cells from autophagic flux blockade in diabetic retinopathy. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:63. [PMID: 35165261 PMCID: PMC8844082 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-00861-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Retinal neurodegeneration develops early in the course of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and our previous research showed that succinate accumulation results in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) dysfunction in the retinas of rats with DR. Succinate can enhance lysine succinylation, but the succinylation of DR is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the role of the succinylome in DR and identified the key factor in this process. TMT labeling and LC–MS/MS analysis were combined to quantify the differentially succinylated proteins between vitreous humor (VH) samples from DR and non-DR patients. A total of 74 sites in 35 proteins were differentially succinylated between DR and non-DR vitreous humor samples, among which succinylation of the K108 site of optineurin (OPTN K108su) in the defense response was enriched by GO analysis based on the biological process category. Then, using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat model, R28 cells and primary rat RGCs (rRGCs), we demonstrated that OPTN underwent lysine succinylation in the retinas of rats with DR and that OPTN K108su mediated autophagic flux blockade under high-glucose (HG) conditions. Sirt5 can desuccinylate OPTN K108su, thus protecting RGCs function from high glucose-induced RGCs autophagic flux blockade in the diabetic retina. Overall, desuccinylation of OPTN is an essential adaptive mechanism for ameliorating autophagic flux blockade in RGCs under DR conditions, and targeting the Sirt5-desuccK108-OPTN axis may thus open an avenue for therapeutic intervention in RCGs dysfunction. ![]()

Abstract
Mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell. The research of nearly a century has expanded our understanding of mitochondrion, far beyond the view that mitochondrion is an important energy generator of cells. During the initiation, growth and survival of tumor cells, significant mitochondrial metabolic changes have taken place in the important enzymes of respiratory chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle, mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, oxidative stress regulation and molecular signaling. Therefore, mitochondrial metabolic proteins are the key mediators of tumorigenesis. Post-translational modification is the molecular switch that regulates protein function. Understanding how these mitochondria-related post-translational modification function during tumorigenesis will bring new ideas for the next generation of cancer treatment.

Bioinformatic Analysis of the Effect of the Sirtuin Family on Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:5794118. [PMID: 35136826 PMCID: PMC8818415 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5794118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
A growing body of experimental evidence suggests that sirtuins (SIRTs) are associated with tumorigenesis in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Nevertheless, the involvement of SIRTs in the pathogenesis of DTC and their clinical value remain ill-defined and should be thoroughly examined. We explored the transcription of SIRTs and survival data of patients with DTC by the systematic utilization of bioinformatics to analyze data of publicly accessible databases including Oncomine, cBioPortal, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Protein Atlas, LinkedOmics, and GSCALite. The examination of gene expression profiles showed that SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, and SIRT6 were downregulated in DTC tissues compared with the normal thyroid tissues. The decreased expression levels of SIRT2, SIRT4, and SIRT5 were correlated with advanced tumor stages. The survival results showed that the increased SIRT4 mRNA expression level was associated with improved overall survival (OS) in the DTC patients. In addition, patients with DTC with high SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 mRNA levels had higher disease-free survival (DFS). These results showed that SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, and SIRT6 are potential targets for precise treatment of DTC patients and that SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 are novel potential biomarkers for the prognosis of DTC.
