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.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) belong to the family of nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent class III histone deacetylases, which come into play in the regulation of epigenetic processes through the deacetylation of histones and other substrates. The human genome encodes for seven homologs (SIRT1-7), which are localized into the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria, with different enzymatic activities and regulatory mechanisms. Indeed, SIRTs are involved in different physio-pathological processes responsible for the onset of several human illnesses, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, obesity and diabetes, age-related disorders, and cancer. Nowadays, it is well-known that Citrus fruits, typical of the Mediterranean diet, are an important source of bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols. Among these, flavonoids are recognized as potential agents endowed with a wide range of beneficial properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and antitumoral ones. On these bases, we offer a comprehensive overview on biological effects exerted by Citrus flavonoids via targeting SIRTs, which acted as modulator of several signaling pathways. According to the reported studies, Citrus flavonoids appear to be promising SIRT modulators in many different pathologies, a role which might be potentially evaluated in future therapies, along with encouraging the study of those SIRT members which still lack proper evidence on their support.

Abstract
Aging is a chronic yet natural physiological decline of the body. Throughout life, humans are continuously exposed to a variety of exogenous and endogenous stresses, which engender various counteractive responses at the cellular, tissue, organ, as well as organismal levels. The compromised cellular and tissue functions that occur because of genetic factors or prolonged stress (or even the stress response) may accelerate aging. Over the last two decades, the sirtuin (SIRT) family of lysine deacylases has emerged as a key regulator of longevity in a variety of organisms. SIRT7, the most recently identified member of the SIRTs, maintains physiological homeostasis and provides protection against aging by functioning as a watchdog of genomic integrity, a dynamic sensor and modulator of stresses. SIRT7 decline disrupts metabolic homeostasis, accelerates aging, and increases the risk of age-related pathologies including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, pulmonary and renal disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cancer, etc. Here, we present SIRT7 as the seventh key to unlock the mystery of aging, and its specific manipulation holds great potential to ensure healthiness and longevity.

Abstract
SIRT7 is a member of the sirtuin family proteins with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase activity, which can inhibit the activity of hypoxia-inducible factors independently of its enzymatic activity. However, the role of SIRT7 in affecting hypoxia signaling in vivo is still elusive. Here, we find that sirt7-null zebrafish are more resistant to hypoxic conditions, along with an increase of hypoxia-responsive gene expression and erythrocyte numbers, compared with their wildtype siblings. Overexpression of sirt7 suppresses the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes. Further assays indicate that sirt7 interacts with zebrafish hif-1αa, hif-1αb, hif-2αa, and hif-2αb to inhibit their transcriptional activity and mediate their protein degradation. In addition, sirt7 not only binds to the hypoxia responsive element of hypoxia-inducible gene promoters but also causes a reduction of H3K18Ac on these promoters. Sirt7 may regulate hypoxia-responsive gene expression through its enzymatic and nonenzymatic activities. This study provides novel insights into sirt7 function and sheds new light on the regulation of hypoxia signaling by sirt7.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease mainly characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction and memory impairment. Recent studies have shown that regulating silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) expression has a significant neuroprotective effect, and SIRT1 may become a new therapeutic target for AD. Natural molecules are an important source of drug development for use in AD therapy and may regulate a wide range of biological events by regulating SIRT1 as well as other SIRT1-mediated signaling pathways. This review aims to summarize the correlation between SIRT1 and AD and to identify in vivo and in vitro studies investigating the anti-AD properties of natural molecules as modulators of SIRT1 and SIRT1-mediated signaling pathways. A literature search was conducted for studies published between January 2000 and October 2022 using various literature databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and EMBASE. Natural molecules, such as resveratrol, quercetin, icariin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, dihydromyricetin, salidroside, patchouli, sesamin, rhein, ligustilide, tetramethoxyflavanone, 1-theanine, schisandrin, curcumin, betaine, pterostilbene, ampelopsin, schisanhenol, and eriodictyol, have the potential to modulate SIRT1 and SIRT1 signaling pathways, thereby combating AD. The natural molecules modulating SIRT1 discussed in this review provide a potentially novel multi-mechanistic therapeutic strategy for AD. However, future clinical trials need to be conducted to further investigate their beneficial properties and to determine the safety and efficacy of SIRT1 natural activators against AD.

Abstract
Sirtuins play an important role in signalling pathways associated with various metabolic regulations. They possess mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase or deacylase activity like demalonylase, deacetylase, depalmitoylase, demyristoylase and desuccinylase activity. Sirtuins are histone deacetylases which depends upon nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) that deacetylate lysine residues. There are a total of seven human sirtuins that have been identified namely, SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT6 and SIRT7. The subcellular location of mammalian sirtuins, SIRT1, SIRT6, and SIRT7 are in the nucleus; SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 are in mitochondria, and SIRT2 is in cytoplasm. Structurally sirtuins contains a N-terminal, a C-terminal and a Zn+ binding domain. The sirtuin family has been found to be crucial for maintaining lipid and glucose homeostasis, and also for regulating insulin secretion and sensitivity, DNA repair pathways, neurogenesis, inflammation, and ageing. Based on the literature, sirtuins are overexpressed and play an important role in tumorigenicity in various types of cancer such as non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. In this review, we have discussed about the different types of human sirtuins along with their structural and functional features. We have also discussed about the various natural and synthetic regulators of sirtuin activities like resveratrol. Our overall study shows that the correct regulation of sirtuins can be a good target for preventing and treating various diseases for improving the human lifespan. To investigate the true therapeutic potential of sirtuin proteins and their efficacy in a variety of pathological diseases, a better knowledge of the link between the structure and function of sirtuin proteins would be necessary.

Abstract
Sirtuins are identified as NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylases (HDAC) and are involved in a variety of cellular activities, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, epigenetics, gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Using genetically modified model organisms, sirtuins are proved to be one of the most conserved aging-regulatory and longevity-promoting genes/pathways among species. Of the seven sirtuins, SIRT7 is the only sirtuin that localizes in the nucleolus. SIRT7 senses endogenous and environmental stress to maintain physiological homeostasis. Sirt7 deficient and transgenic mice provide a useful tool to understand the mechanisms of aging and related pathologies. In this chapter, we summarized the most widely applied methods to understand the physiopathological function of SIRT7 in mice.

Abstract
The roles of sirtuins in plants are slowly unraveling. Regarding OsSRT1, there are only reports of its H3K9Ac deacetylation. Here we detect the other lysine deacetylation sites in histones, H3 and H4. Further, our studies shed light on its dual enzyme capability with preference for mono ADP ribosylation over deacetylation. OsSRT1 can specifically transfer the single ADP ribose group on its substrates in an enzymatic manner. This mono ADPr effect is not well known in plants, more so for deacetylases. The products of this reaction (NAM and ADP ribose) have a negative effect on this enzyme's action suggesting a tighter regulation. Resveratrol, a natural plant polyphenol proves to be a good activator of this enzyme at 150 ± 40 µM concentration. Under different abiotic stress conditions, we could link this ADP ribosylase activity to the DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway by activating the enzyme PARP1. There is also evidence of OsSRT1's interaction with the components of DDR machinery. Changes in the extent of different histone deacetylation by OsSRT1 is also related with these stress conditions. Metal stress in plants also influences these enzyme activities. Structurally there is a long C-terminal domain in OsSRT1 in comparison to other classes of plant sirtuins, which is required for its catalysis.

Abstract
Natural or synthetic naphthoquinones have been identified as interfering with biological systems and in particular exhibiting anticancer properties. As redox cyclers, they may first generate in cells reactive oxygen species and second, as electrophiles, they may react with nucleophiles, mainly thiols, and form covalent adducts. To further decipher the molecular mechanism of action of naphthoquinones in human cells, we have mainly analysed their effects in HeLa cells. First, we have demonstrated that menadione and plumbagin inhibit the nucleolar NAD+-dependent deacetylase Sirtuin 7 in vitro. As assessed by their inhibitions of rDNA transcription, pre-rRNA processing and formation of etoposide-induced 53BP1 foci, menadione and plumbagin inhibit also Sirtuin 7 catalytic activity in vivo. Second, we have established that in experimental conditions in which the sulfhydryl arylation by menadione or plumbagin is prevented by the thiol reducing agent N-acetyl-L-cysteine, the inhibition of Sirtuin 7 catalytic activity is also prevented. Finally, we discuss here how inhibition of Sirtuin 7 might be critical in determining menadione or plumbagin as anti-tumor agents that can be used in combination in anti-tumoral strategies.

Abstract
Sirt7 is one member of the sirtuin family proteins with NAD (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase activity. In this study, we report that zebrafish sirt7 is induced upon viral infection, and overexpression of sirt7 suppresses cellular antiviral responses. Disruption of sirt7 in zebrafish increases the survival rate upon spring viremia of carp virus infection. Further assays indicate that sirt7 interacts with irf3 and irf7 and attenuates phosphorylation of irf3 and irf7 by preventing tbk1 binding to irf3 and irf7. In addition, the enzymatic activity of sirt7 is not required for sirt7 to repress IFN-1 activation. To our knowledge, this study provides novel insights into sirt7 function and sheds new light on the regulation of irf3 and irf7 by attenuating phosphorylation.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins are crucial for fine-tuning a cell's response to both intracellular and extracellular cues. ADP-ribosylation is a PTM, which occurs in two flavours: modification of a target with multiple ADP-ribose moieties (poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation or PARylation) or with only one unit (MARylation), which are added by the different enzymes of the PARP family (also known as the ARTD family). PARylation has been relatively well-studied, particularly in the DNA damage response. This has resulted in the development of PARP inhibitors such as olaparib, which are increasingly employed in cancer chemotherapeutic approaches. Despite the fact that the majority of PARP enzymes catalyse MARylation, MARylation is not as well understood as PARylation. MARylation is a dynamic process: the enzymes reversing intracellular MARylation of acidic amino acids (MACROD1, MACROD2, and TARG1) were discovered in 2013. Since then, however, little information has been published about their physiological function. MACROD1, MACROD2, and TARG1 have a 'macrodomain' harbouring the catalytic site, but no other domains have been identified. Despite the lack of information regarding their cellular roles, there are a number of studies linking them to cancer. However, some of these publications oppose each other, some rely on poorly-characterised antibodies, or on aberrant localisation of overexpressed rather than native protein. In this review, we critically assess the available literature on a role for the hydrolases in cancer and find that, currently, there is limited evidence for a role for MACROD1, MACROD2, or TARG1 in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Sirtuins compose a unique collection of histone deacetylase enzymes that have a wide variety of enzymatic activities and regulate diverse cell functions such as cellular metabolism, longevity and energy homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and biogenesis. Impaired sirtuin functions or alterations of their expression levels may result in several pathological conditions and contribute to the altered metabolic phenotype of malignantly transformed cells in a significant manner. In the twenty-first century, principles of personalized anticancer treatment need to involve not only the evaluation of changes of the genetic material, but also the mapping of epigenetic and metabolic alterations, to both of which the contribution of sirtuin enzymes is fundamental. Since sirtuins are central players in the maintenance of cellular energy and metabolic homeostasis, they are key elements in the development of metabolic transformation of cancer cells referred to as the Warburg effect. Although its most well-known features are enhanced glycolysis and excessive lactate production, Warburg effect has several aspects involving both carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, among which different tumor types have different preferences. Therefore, energy supply of cancer cells can be impaired by a growing number of antimetabolite agents, for which appropriate vectors are strongly needed. However, data are controversial about their tumor suppressor or oncogenic properties, the biological effects of sirtuin enzymes strongly depend on the tissue microenvironment (TME) in which they are expressed. Immune cells are regarded as key players of TME. Sirtuins regulate the survival, activation, metabolism, and mitochondrial function of these cells, therefore, they are not only single elements, but key regulators of the network that determines anticancer immunity. Altered metabolism of tumor cells induces changes in the gene expression pattern of cells in TME, due to altered concentrations of metabolite cofactors of epigenetic modifiers including sirtuins. In summary, epigenetic and metabolic alterations in malignant diseases are influenced by sirtuins in a significant manner, and should be treated in a personalized approach. Since they often develop in early stages of cancer, broad examination of these alterations is required at time of the diagnosis in order to provide a personalized combination of distinct therapeutic agents.
