Cancer Sci 2024; 115:1209-1223. [PMID: 38288904 PMCID: PMC11006999 DOI: 10.1111/cas.16091] [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: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Abnormal activation of the oncogene YAP in the Hippo pathway is a major feature in liver cancer and inactivation of MST1/2 has been shown to be responsible for the overactivation of YAP that led to tumorigenesis. However, mechanisms underlying MST1/2 dysregulation remain poorly understood. RNA-seq analysis and genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were used to identify genes and pathways that were regulated by SIRT7. qRT-PCR, ChIP, and luciferase assay were used to investigate transcriptional regulation. Mass spectrometry, co-immunoprecipitation and immunoprecipitation were used to exam protein-protein interaction and post-transcriptional modification. A xenograft mouse model was used to confirm the effect of SIRT7 and SIRT7 inhibitors on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proliferation in vivo. We found that SIRT7 suppresses MST1 by both transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional modification, which in turn promotes YAP nuclear localization and transcriptional activation in liver cancer. Mechanistically, we revealed that SIRT7 suppresses MST1 transcription by binding to the MST1 promoter and inducing H3K18 deacetylation in its promoter region. In addition, SIRT7 directly binds to and deacetylates MST1, which primes acetylation-dependent MST1 ubiquitination and protein degradation. In clinical samples, we confirmed a negative correlation between SIRT7 and MST1 protein levels, and high SIRT7 expression correlated with elevated YAP expression and nuclear localization. In addition, SIRT7 specific inhibitor 2800Z sufficiently inhibited HCC growth by disrupting the SIRT7/MST1/YAP axis. Our data thus revealed the previously undescribed function of SIRT7 in regulating the Hippo pathway in HCC and further proved that targeting SIRT7 might provide novel therapeutic options for the treatment of liver cancer.

Inhibition of SIRT7 overcomes sorafenib acquired resistance by suppressing ERK1/2 phosphorylation via the DDX3X-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome in hepatocellular carcinoma. Drug Resist Updat 2024; 73:101054. [PMID: 38277756 PMCID: PMC10935544 DOI: 10.1016/j.drup.2024.101054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) plays an important role in tumor development, and has been characterized as a potent regulator of cellular stress. However, the effect of SIRT7 on sorafenib acquired resistance remains unclear and a possible anti-tumor mechanism beyond this process in HCC has not been clarified. We examined the therapeutic potential of SIRT7 and determined whether it functions synergistically with sorafenib to overcome chemoresistance. METHODS Cancer Genome Atlas-liver HCC data and unbiased gene set enrichment analyses were used to identify SIRT7 as a potential effector molecule in sorafenib acquired resistance. Two types of SIRT7 chemical inhibitors were developed to evaluate its therapeutic properties when synergized with sorafenib. Mass spectrometry was performed to discover a direct target of SIRT7, DDX3X, and DDX3X deacetylation levels and protein stability were explored. Moreover, an in vivo xenograft model was used to confirm anti-tumor effect of SIRT7 and DDX3X chemical inhibitors combined with sorafenib. RESULTS SIRT7 inhibition mediated DDX3X depletion can re-sensitize acquired sorafenib resistance by disrupting NLRP3 inflammasome assembly, finally suppressing hyperactive ERK1/2 signaling in response to NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated IL-1β inhibition. CONCLUSIONS SIRT7 is responsible for sorafenib acquired resistance, and its inhibition would be beneficial when combined with sorafenib by suppressing hyperactive pro-cell survival ERK1/2 signaling.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive, age-dependent, and unmet chronic inflammatory disease of the peripheral airways, leading to difficulty in exhalation. Several biomarkers have been tested in general towards the resolution for a long time, but no apparent success was achieved. Ongoing therapies of COPD have only symptomatic relief but no cure. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive species which include oxygen radicals and nonradical derivatives, and are the prominent players in COPD. They are produced as natural byproducts of cellular metabolism, but their levels can vary due to exposure to indoor air pollution, occupational pollution, and environmental pollutants such as cigarette smoke. In COPD, the lungs are continuously exposed to high levels of ROS thus leading to oxidative stress. ROS can cause damage to cells, proteins, lipids, and DNA which further contributes to the chronic inflammation in COPD and exacerbates the disease condition. Excessive ROS production can overwhelm cellular antioxidant systems and act as signaling molecules that regulate cellular processes, including antioxidant defense mechanisms involving glutathione and sirtuins which further leads to cellular apoptosis, cellular senescence, inflammation, and sarcopenia. In this review paper, we focused on COPD from different perspectives including potential markers and different cellular processes such as apoptosis, cellular senescence, inflammation, sirtuins, and sarcopenia, and tried to connect the dots between them so that novel therapeutic strategies to evaluate and target the possible underlying mechanisms in COPD could be explored.

Abstract
The sirtuins are NAD+ -dependent lysine deacylases, comprising seven isoforms (SIRT1-7) in humans, which are involved in the regulation of a plethora of biological processes, including gene expression and metabolism. The sirtuins share a common hydrolytic mechanism but display preferences for different ϵ-N-acyllysine substrates. SIRT7 deacetylates targets in nuclei and nucleoli but remains one of the lesser studied of the seven isoforms, in part due to a lack of chemical tools to specifically probe SIRT7 activity. Here we expressed SIRT7 and, using small-angle X-ray scattering, reveal SIRT7 to be a monomeric enzyme with a low degree of globular flexibility in solution. We developed a fluorogenic assay for investigation of the substrate preferences of SIRT7 and to evaluate compounds that modulate its activity. We report several mechanism-based SIRT7 inhibitors as well as de novo cyclic peptide inhibitors selected from mRNA-display library screening that exhibit selectivity for SIRT7 over other sirtuin isoforms, stabilize SIRT7 in cells, and cause an increase in the acetylation of H3 K18.

Abstract
In cancer cells, short for sirtuin (SIRT7) stabilizes the transformed state via its nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase activity. Epigenetic factor SIRT7 plays important roles in cancer biology, reversing cancer phenotypes and suppressing tumor growth when inactive. In the present study, we got the SIRT7 protein structure from Alpha Fold2 Database and performed structure-based virtual screening to develop specific SIRT7 inhibitors using the SIRT7 inhibitor 97,491 interaction mechanism. As candidates for specific SIRT7 inhibitors, compounds with high affinities to SIRT7 were chosen. ZINC000001910616 and ZINC000014708529, two of our leading compounds, showed strong interactions with SIRT7. Our MD simulation results also revealed that the 5-hydroxy-4H-thioxen-4-one group and terminal carboxyl group were critical groups responsible for interaction of small molecules with SIRT7. In our study, we demonstrated that targeting SIRT7 may offer novel therapeutic options for cancer treatment. Compounds ZINC000001910616 and ZINC000014708529 can serve as chemical probes to investigate SIRT7 biological functions and provide starting points for the development of novel therapeutics against cancers.

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
Psoriasis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a genetic basis. It is characterised by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, parakeratosis and inflammatory cell infiltration. Psoriasis negatively affects a patient's physical and emotional quality of life. Sirtuins (SIRTs; silent information regulators) are an evolutionarily conserved group of enzymes involved in the post-translational modification of proteins, including deacetylation, polyADP-ribosylation, demalonylation and lipoamidation. SIRTs are involved in a number of cellular pathways related to ageing, inflammation, oxidative stress, epigenetics, tumorigenesis, the cell cycle, DNA repair and cell proliferation, positioning them as an essential component in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including psoriasis. Activation of SIRT1 counteracts oxidative-stress-induced damage by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways and may mitigate pathological events in psoriasis. There is a significant reduction in the expression of SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 and an increase in the expression of SIRT6 and SIRT7 in psoriasis. The aim of the review is to draw the attention of physicians and scientists to the importance of SIRTs in dermatology and to provide a basis and impetus for future discussions, research and pharmacological discoveries to modulate SIRT activity. In light of the analysis of the mode of action of SIRTs in psoriasis, SIRT1-SIRT5 agonists and SIRT6 and SIRT7 inhibitors may represent new therapeutic options for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
Over the course of three decades of study, the deubiquitinase Herpesvirus associated Ubiquitin-Specific Protease/Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 7 (HAUSP/USP7) has gradually come to be recognized as a crucially important molecule in cellular physiology. The fact that USP7 is overexpressed in a number of cancers, including breast, prostate, colorectal, and lung cancers, supports the idea that USP7 is also an important regulator of tumorigenesis. In this review, we discuss USP7's function in relation to the cancer hallmarks described by Hanahan and Weinberg. This post-translational modifier can support increased proliferation, block unfavorable growth signals, stop cell death, and support an unstable cellular genome by manipulating key players in the pertinent signalling circuit. It is interesting to note that USP7 also aids in the stabilization of molecules that support angiogenesis and metastasis. Targeting USP7 has now emerged as a crucial component of USP7 research because pharmacological inhibition of USP7 supports p53-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Efficacious USP7 inhibition is currently being investigated in both synthetic and natural compounds, but issues with selectivity and a lack of co-crystal structure have hindered USP7 inhibition from being tested in clinical settings. Moreover, the development of new, more effective USP7 inhibitors and their encouraging implications by numerous groups give us a glimmer of hope for USP7-targeting medications as effective substitutes for hazardous cancer chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Therapeutic strategies are still challenging due to the high relapse rate after surgery and multidrug resistance (MDR). It is essential to better understand the mechanisms for HCC progression and MDR for the development of new therapeutic strategies. Mammalian sirtuins (SIRTs), a family of seven members, are related to tumor progression, MDR and prognosis and were proposed as potential prognostic markers, as well as therapeutic targets for treating cancer. SIRT1 is the most studied member and is overexpressed in HCC, playing an oncogenic role and predicting poor prognosis. Several manuscripts describe the role of SIRTs2-7 in HCC; most of them report an oncogenic role for SIRT2 and -7 and a suppressive role for SIRT3 and -4. The scenario is more confusing for SIRT5 and -6, since information is contradictory and scarce. For SIRT1 many inhibitors are available and they seem to hold therapeutic promise in HCC. For the other members the development of specific modulators has just started. This review is aimed to describe the features of SIRTs1-7 in HCC, and the role they play in the onset and progression of the disease. Also, when possible, we will depict the information related to the SIRTs modulators that have been tested in HCC and their possible implication in MDR. With this, we hope to clarify the role of each member in HCC and to shed some light on the most successful strategies to overcome MDR.

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

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has shown that sirtuin 7 (SIRT7), a mediator of various cellular activities, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. However, information remains limited regarding the role of SIRT7 in intestinal inflammation. We used a murine colitis model to investigate the role of SIRT7 in intestinal immunity and whether SIRT7 inhibitors could attenuate the intestinal inflammatory response. Mice were divided into three groups: control, colitis-induced, and SIRT7-inhibitor-treated. A colitis mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection and nasal challenge with ovalbumin, as in our previous study. Quantitative analyses of inflammatory cytokines and SIRT7 levels in the colonic mucosa were performed to compare the changes in inflammatory responses between the three groups. The colitis group showed increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and SIRT7 in the colonic mucosa. The inflammatory reaction was suppressed in colitis-induced mice administered the SIRT7 inhibitor. The qRT-PCR results showed normalization of inflammatory cytokines in the SIRT7 inhibitor-treated group. Histologic study revealed a decrease in the extent of inflammation after SIRT7 treatment. We also observed that the degree of clinical inflammation was improved in SIRT7-treated mice. Our study demonstrated that SIRT7 inhibition attenuated the inflammatory response in the colon of mice, suggesting a possible role for SIRT7 in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated intestinal inflammation.

Dzhalilova DS, Makarova OV. The Role of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor in the Mechanisms of Aging. BIOCHEMISTRY. BIOKHIMIIA 2022; 87:995-1014. [PMID: 36180993 DOI: 10.1134/s0006297922090115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Aging is accompanied by a reduction in the oxygen delivery to all organs and tissues and decrease in the oxygen partial pressure in them, resulting in the development of hypoxia. The lack of oxygen activates cell signaling pathway mediated by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF), which exists in three isoforms - HIF-1, HIF-2, and HIF-3. HIF regulates expression of several thousand genes and is a potential target for the development of new drugs for the treatment of many diseases, including those associated with age. Human organism and organisms of laboratory animals differ in their tolerance to hypoxia and expression of HIF and HIF-dependent genes, which may contribute to the development of inflammatory, tumor, and cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the data on changes in the HIF expression with age are contradictory, which is mostly due to the fact that such studies are conducted in different age groups, cell types, and model organisms, as well as under different hypoxic conditions and mainly in vitro. Furthermore, the observed discrepancies can be due to the individual tolerance of the studied organisms to hypoxia, which is typically not taken into account. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to analyze the published data on the connection between the mechanisms of aging, basal tolerance to hypoxia, and changes in the level of HIF expression with age. Here, we summarized the data on the age-related changes in the hypoxia tolerance, HIF expression and the role of HIF in aging, which is associated with its involvement in the molecular pathways mediated by insulin and IGF-1 (IIS), sirtuins (SIRTs), and mTOR. HIF-1 interacts with many components of the IIS pathway, in particular with FOXO, the activation of which reduces production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increases hypoxia tolerance. Under hypoxic conditions, FOXO is activated via both HIF-dependent and HIF-independent pathways, which contributes to a decrease in the ROS levels. The activity of HIF-1 is regulated by all members of the sirtuin family, except SIRT5, while the mechanisms of SIRT interaction with HIF-2 and HIF-3 are poorly understood. The connection between HIF and mTOR and its inhibitor, AMPK, has been identified, but its exact mechanism has yet to be studied. Understanding the role of HIF and hypoxia in aging and pathogenesis of age-associated diseases is essential for the development of new approaches to the personalized therapy of these diseases, and requires further research.

USP17L2-SIRT7 axis regulates DNA damage repair and chemoresistance in breast cancer cells. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2022; 196:31-44. [PMID: 36040642 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-022-06711-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Sirtuin7 (SIRT7), as a member of the sirtuin and NAD+-dependent protein-modifying enzyme family, plays an important role in regulating cellular metabolism, stress responses, tumorigenesis, and aging. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are reversible post-translational modifications that regulate protein stability, enzyme activity, protein-protein interactions, and cellular signaling transduction. However, whether SIRT7 is regulated by deubiquitination signaling is unclear. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism of SIRT7 via deubiquitination signaling. METHODS USP17L2 or SIRT7-targeting shRNAs were used to deplete USP17L2 or SIRT7. Western blot was applied to assess the effects of USP17L2 or SIRT7 depletion. A co-immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the interaction relationship. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays were applied to assess the viability of breast cancer cells. An immunohistochemistry assay was employed to detect the protein level in samples from breast cancer patients, and the TCGA database was applied to analyze the survival rate of breast cancer patients. Statistical analyses were performed with the Student's t test (two-tailed unpaired) and χ2 test. RESULTS We find that the deubiquitinase USP17L2 interacts with and deubiquitinates SIRT7, thereby increasing SIRT7 protein stability. In addition, USP17L2 regulates DNA damage repair through SIRT7. Furthermore, SIRT7 polyubiquitination is increased by knocking down of USP17L2, which leads to cancer cells sensitizing to chemotherapy. In breast cancer patient samples, high expression of USP17L2 is correlated with increased levels of SIRT7 protein. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the USP17L2-SIRT7 axis is the new regulator in DNA damage response and chemo-response, suggesting that USP17L2 may be a prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer. CONCLUSION Our results highlighted that USP17L2 regulates the chemoresistance of breast cancer cells in a SIRT7-dependent manner. Moreover, the role of USP17L2 as a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer and a prognostic factor for patients was elucidated.

Abstract
Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in the recovery of neurological function after ischemia stroke. Herein, we investigated the effect of trilobatin (TLB) on angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). The effect of TLB on angiogenesis after CIRI were investigated in mouse brain microvascular endothelium bEnd.3 cells and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced CIRI rat model. The cell proliferation and angiogenesis were observed using immunofluorescence staining. The cell cycle, expressions of cell cycle-related proteins and SIRT 1-7 were determined by flow cytometry and western blot, respectively. The binding affinity of TLB with SIRT7 was predicted by molecular docking. The results showed that TLB concentration-dependently promoted bEnd.3 cell proportion in the S-phase. TLB significantly increased the protein expressions of SIRT6, SIRT7, and VEGFA, but not affected SIRT1-SIRT5 protein expressions. Moreover, TLB not only dramatically alleviated neurological impairment after CIRI, but also enhanced post-stroke neovascularization and newly formed functional vessels in cerebral ischemic penumbra. Furthermore, TLB up-regulated the protein expressions of CDK4, cyclin D1, VEGFA and its receptor VEGFR-2. Intriguingly, TLB not only directly bound to SIRT7, but also increased SIRT7 expression at day 28. Our findings reveal that TLB promotes cerebral microvascular endothelial cells proliferation, and facilitates angiogenesis after CIRI via mediating SIRT7/VEGFA signaling pathway in rats. Therefore, TLB might be a novel restorative agent to rescue ischemia stroke.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disorders and associated renal diseases account for the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating the development of novel effective approaches for the prevention and treatment of cardiorenal diseases. Mammalian sirtuins (SIRTs) function as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein/histone deacetylases. Seven members of SIRTs share a highly invariant catalytic core domain responsible for the specific enzymatic activity. Intriguingly, the broad distribution of SIRTs and alternative isoforms implicate its distinct functions in diverse cardiac and renal cells and tissue types. Notably, SIRT7 has been shown to exert beneficial effects in cardiorenal physiology and pathophysiology via modulation of senescence, DNA damage repair, ribosomal RNA synthesis, protein biosynthesis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, superoxide generation, cardiorenal metabolism, and dysfunction. Furthermore, SIRT7 has emerged as a critical modulator of a broad range of cellular activities including oxidative stress, inflammation response, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial homeostasis, which are all of great significance in postponing the progression of cardiorenal diseases. More importantly, SIRT7 has been implicated in cardiorenal hypertrophy, fibrosis, remodeling, heart failure, atherosclerosis as well as renal acid-base and electrolyte homeostasis as an essential regulator. In this review, we focus on the involvement in cardiorenal physiology and pathophysiology, diverse actions and underlying mechanisms of the SIRT7 signaling, highlighting its updated research progress in heart failure, atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy and other cardiorenal diseases. Targeting SIRT7 signaling could be potentially exploited as a therapeutic strategy aiming to prevent and treat cardiorenal diseases.

Abstract
The globally increasing annual incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common chronic disease, poses a serious risk to public health. Although the exact mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of COPD remains unclear, a large number of studies have shown that its pathophysiology and disease course are closely related to oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and aging. The key players involved in COPD include the sirtuin family of NAD-dependent deacetylases that comprise seven members (SIRT1-7) in mammals. Sirtuins play an important role in metabolic diseases, cell cycle control, proliferation, apoptosis, and senescence. Owing to differences in subcellular localization, sirtuins exhibit anisotropy. In this narrative review, we discuss the roles and molecular pathways of each member of the sirtuin family involved in COPD to provide novel insights into the prevention and treatment of COPD and how sirtuins may serve as adjuvants for COPD treatment.

Sirtuins are crucial regulators of T cell metabolism and functions. Exp Mol Med 2022; 54:207-215.

Abstract
It is well known that metabolism underlies T cell differentiation and functions. The pathways regulating T cell metabolism and function are interconnected, and changes in T cell metabolic activity directly impact the effector functions and fate of T cells. Thus, understanding how metabolic pathways influence immune responses and ultimately affect disease progression is paramount. Epigenetic and posttranslational modification mechanisms have been found to control immune responses and metabolic reprogramming. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases that play key roles during cellular responses to a variety of stresses and have recently been reported to have potential roles in immune responses. Therefore, sirtuins are of significant interest as therapeutic targets to treat immune-related diseases and enhance antitumor immunity. This review aims to illustrate the potential roles of sirtuins in different subtypes of T cells during the adaptive immune response. Sirtuins, enzymes that regulate how cells respond to stress, regulate T cell metabolism and functions, and therefore blocking or boosting sirtuins influences immune responses. As part of the immune system, some types of T cells attack specific targets; others keep the immune response in check. Imene Hamaidi and Sungjune Kim at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, USA, have reviewed how sirtuins affect different subsets of T cells to either promote or suppress immune responses. Boosting sirtuins that increase the function of inflammation-suppressing T cells can improve outcomes for transplant recipients or help treat autoimmune diseases. Conversely, stimulating immune-activating sirtuins can help re-energize exhausted antitumor T cells. Understanding the complex web of sirtuin–T cell interactions may help in developing therapeutic strategies for improving transplant outcomes, and for treating autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a public health problem worldwide. Sirtuins are a family of seven NAD+-dependent deacylases, Overexpression of Sirtuin 1, 3, and 5 protect against AKI. However, the role of Sirtuin 7 (Sirt7) in AKI is not known. Here, we analyzed how Sirt7 deficient mice (KO-Sirt7) were affected by AKI. As expected, wild-type and Sirt7 heterozygotes mice that underwent renal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) exhibited the characteristic hallmarks of AKI: renal dysfunction, tubular damage, albuminuria, increased oxidative stress, and renal inflammation. In contrast, the KO-Sirt7+IR mice were protected from AKI, exhibiting lesser albuminuria and reduction in urinary biomarkers of tubular damage, despite similar renal dysfunction. The renoprotection in the Sirt7-KO+IR group was associated with reduced kidney weight, minor expression of inflammatory cytokines and less renal infiltration of inflammatory cells. This anti-inflammatory effect was related to diminished p65 expression and in its active phosphorylation, as well as by a reduction in p65 nuclear translocation. Sirt7 deficient mice are protected from AKI, suggesting that this histone deacetylase promotes tubular damage and renal inflammation. Therefore, our findings indicate that Sirt7 inhibitors may be an attractive therapeutic target to reduce NFκB signaling.

Characterization of body composition and liver epigenetic markers during periods of negative energy balance and subsequent compensatory growth in postpubertal beef bulls. J Anim Sci 2022; 100:6532621. [PMID: 35184171 PMCID: PMC9036401 DOI: 10.1093/jas/skac047] [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: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the effects of dietary restriction and subsequent re-alimentation on body composition and hepatic gene expression of epigenetic markers of DNA methylation, RNA m6A methylation, and histone acetylation in the liver of postpubertal beef bulls. Twelve Angus × Hereford crossbred bulls (n = 6, 23 ± 0.55 mo [young bulls], 558 ± 6.1 kg; and n = 6, 47 ± 1.2 mo [mature bulls], 740 ± 30.5 kg) were submitted to two dietary regimes per offering of the same hay: low plane of nutrition (90 d) and compensatory growth (90 d). Each animal acted as its own control and were fed Beardless wheat (Triticum aestivum) hay and mineral mix during the trial. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.4 following a pre-post repeated measures design. Bulls in negative energy balance (NEB) decreased (P < 0.001) empty body weight (EBW; 23.1% [-139.1 kg]), empty body fat (EBF; 39.8% [-85.4 kg]), and empty body protein (EBP; 14.9% [-13.5 kg]) and fully recovered at the end of the trial. Body fat accounted for 77.1% of daily changes in body energy status, whereas body protein accounted for only 22.9% (P < 0.001). Relative abundance of epigenetic markers transcripts was analyzed via qPCR. Bulls at NEB tended (P ≤ 0.097) to increase gene expression of epigenetic markers of RNA m6A methylation (METTL14, VIRMA, and WTAP) and increased (P ≤ 0.050) the gene expression of epigenetic markers of DNA methylation (DNMT3A) and histone-acetylation (SIRT3 and SIRT7). Young bulls had a tendency (P ≤ 0.072) of higher RNA m6A methylation, VIRMA, and WTAP than mature bulls. Effect of diet × age interaction was not detected (P ≥ 0.137) for METTL14, VIRMA, WTAP, DNMT3A, SIRT3, or SIRT7. Younger bulls tended to have greater RNA m6A methylation levels than mature bulls, indicating that, while contemporaneously fed the same diet during periods of undernourishment followed by compensatory growth, age has an impact on this epigenetic mechanism. In conclusion, metabolic status seems to carry a greater impact on regulating bovine hepatic epigenetic mechanisms that modulate gene transcription, such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation, than on epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene translation, such as RNA m6A methylation. During periods of undernourishment followed by compensatory growth, body fat pools appear to change more dynamically and are easily detected having a greater impact on epigenetic markers that modulate hepatic gene transcription rather than translation.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific protease (USP7), also known as Herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP), is a deubiquitinase. There has been significant recent attention on USP7 following the discovery that USP7 is a key regulator of the p53-MDM2 pathway. The USP7 protein is 130 kDa in size and has multiple domains which bind to a diverse set of proteins. These interactions mediate key developmental and homeostatic processes including the cell cycle, immune response, and modulation of transcription factor and epigenetic regulator activity and localization. USP7 also promotes carcinogenesis through aberrant activation of the Wnt signalling pathway and stabilization of HIF-1α. These findings have shown that USP7 may induce tumour progression and be a therapeutic target. Together with interest in developing USP7 as a target, several studies have defined new protein interactions and the regulatory networks within which USP7 functions. In this review, we focus on the protein interactions of USP7 that are most important for its cancer-associated roles.

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
PURPOSE Emerging evidence suggests that cytotoxic therapy may promote drug resistance and metastasis while inhibiting the growth of primary tumors. As yet, however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the pro-metastatic effects of adriamycin (ADR) therapy on breast cancer cells and to investigate the mechanisms underlying these effects. METHODS Differentially expressed genes between MCF-7 and ADR-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells were identified using high-throughput RNA-seq and differential gene expression analyses. In vitro transwell and scratch wound-healing assays, and an in vivo spontaneous metastasis model were used to study the metastatic potential of the breast cancer cells. The relationship between SIRT7 and TEK expression was studied using promoter activity, electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA), CHIP-qPCR and Co-IP assays. RESULTS Using transcriptome sequencing, we identified two key genes (SIRT7 and TEK) that might contribute to the pro-metastatic effect of ADR on breast cancer cells. SIRT7 acted as a negative regulator for TEK by inducing deacetylation of H3K18 at the TEK promoter. Through transcription factor prediction and double fluorescence experiments, we found that EST-1 could bind to the TEK promoter. Knockdown of EST-1 removed the transcriptional inhibition of TEK that was mediated by up-regulation of SIRT7. Co-IP showed that SIRT7 interacts directly with EST-1 in breast cancer cells, indicating that SIRT7 may induce H3K18 deacetylation at the TEK promoter region by directly binding to EST-1. In vitro and in vivo results showed that overexpression of SIRT7 or inhibition of TIE2 significantly reduced ADR-dependent breast cancer cell invasion/metastasis. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that ADR therapy may accelerate breast cancer metastasis in a SIRT7/TEK(TIE2) dependent manner.

Abstract
Substance abuse affects the central nervous system (CNS) and remains a global health problem. Psychostimulants, such as cocaine and methamphetamine (METH), and opioids affect neuronal function and lead to behavioral impairments via epigenetic modification. Epigenetic changes occur via classical pathways, especially the class III histone deacetylase (HDAC)-sirtuin (SIRT) family, that act as cellular sensors to regulate energy homeostasis and coordinate cellular responses to maintain genome integrity. However, SIRT family (1-7)-associated neurodegeneration has not been elucidated in the context of energy metabolism. The present study examined the effects of psychostimulants, such as cocaine and METH, and opioids, such as morphine, on SIRT family (1-7) [class I, II, III and IV] expression and cellular translocation-mediated dysfunction in astrocytes and microglial cells. The "nootropic" drug piracetam played a preventative role against psychostimulant- and opioid-induced SIRT (1-7) expression in astrocytes. These results indicate that cocaine, METH, and morphine affected deacetylation and cellular function, and these changes were prevented by piracetam in astrocytes.

Abstract
Renal failure is a major health problem that is increasing worldwide. To improve clinical outcomes, we need to understand the basic mechanisms of kidney disease. Aging is a risk factor for the development and progression of kidney disease. Cells develop an imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants as they age, resulting in oxidative stress and the development of kidney damage. Calorie restriction (CR) is recognized as a dietary approach that promotes longevity, reduces oxidative stress, and delays the onset of age-related diseases. Sirtuins, a type of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylase, are considered to be anti-aging molecules, and CR induces their expression. The sirtuin family consists of seven enzymes (Sirt1–7) that are involved in processes and functions related to antioxidant and oxidative stress, such as DNA damage repair and metabolism through histone and protein deacetylation. In fact, a role for sirtuins in the regulation of antioxidants and redox substances has been suggested. Therefore, the activation of sirtuins in the kidney may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to enhancing resistance to many causative factors in kidney disease through the reduction of oxidative stress. In this review, we discuss the relationship between sirtuins and oxidative stress in renal disease.

Abstract
Ribosomal transcription constitutes the major energy consuming process in cells and is regulated in response to proliferation, differentiation and metabolic conditions by several signalling pathways. These act on the transcription machinery but also on chromatin factors and ncRNA. The many ribosomal gene repeats are organised in a number of different chromatin states; active, poised, pseudosilent and repressed gene repeats. Some of these chromatin states are unique to the 47rRNA gene repeat and do not occur at other locations in the genome, such as the active state organised with the HMG protein UBF whereas other chromatin state are nucleosomal, harbouring both active and inactive histone marks. The number of repeats in a certain state varies on developmental stage and cell type; embryonic cells have more rRNA gene repeats organised in an open chromatin state, which is replaced by heterochromatin during differentiation, establishing different states depending on cell type. The 47S rRNA gene transcription is regulated in different ways depending on stimulus and chromatin state of individual gene repeats. This review will discuss the present knowledge about factors involved, such as chromatin remodelling factors NuRD, NoRC, CSB, B-WICH, histone modifying enzymes and histone chaperones, in altering gene expression and switching chromatin states in proliferation, differentiation, metabolic changes and stress responses.

SIRT7 restricts HBV transcription and replication through catalyzing desuccinylation of histone H3 associated with cccDNA minichromosome. Clin Sci (Lond) 2021; 135:1505-1522.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a significant public health burden worldwide. HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) organized as a minichromosome in nucleus is responsible for viral persistence and is the key obstacle for a cure of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Recent studies suggest cccDNA transcription is epigenetically regulated by histone modifications, especially histone acetylation and methylation. In the present study, we identified transcriptionally active histone succinylation (H3K122succ) as a new histone modification on cccDNA minichromosome by using cccDNA ChIP-Seq approach. Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 7 (SIRT7), as an NAD+-dependent histone desuccinylase, could bind to cccDNA through interaction with HBV core protein where it catalyzed histone 3 lysine 122 (H3K122) desuccinylation. Moreover, SIRT7 acts cooperatively with histone methyltransferase, suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1 (SUV39H1) and SET domain containing 2 (SETD2) to induce silencing of HBV transcription through modulation of chromatin structure. Our data improved the understanding of histone modifications of the cccDNA minichromosome, thus transcriptional silencing of cccDNA may represent a novel antiviral strategy for the prevention or treatment of HBV infection.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. DR represents the most common microvascular complication of diabetes, and its incidence is constantly rising. The complex interactions between inflammation, oxidative stress, and the production of free oxygen radicals caused by prolonged exposure to hyperglycemia determine the development of DR. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a recently discovered class of 7 histone deacetylases involved in cellular senescence, regulation of cell cycle, metabolic pathways, and DNA repair. SIRTs participate in the progress of several pathologies such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic diseases. In DR sirtuins 1,3,5, and 6 play an important role as they regulate the activation of the inflammatory response, insulin sensibility, and both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. A wide spectrum of direct and indirect activators of SIRTs pathways (e.g., antagomiR, resveratrol, or glycyrrhizin) is currently being developed to treat the inflammatory cascade occurring in DR. We focus on the main metabolic and inflammatory pathways involving SIRTs and DR, as well as recent evidence on SIRTs activators that may be employed as novel therapeutic approaches to DR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sirt7 is a recently identified sirtuin and has important roles in various pathological conditions, including cancer progression and metabolic disorders. It has previously been reported that Sirt7 is a key molecule in acute myocardial wound healing and pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. In this study, the role of Sirt7 in neointimal formation after vascular injury is investigated.Methods and Results:Systemic (Sirt7-/-) and smooth muscle cell-specific Sirt7-deficient mice were subjected to femoral artery wire injury. Primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were isolated from the aorta of wild type (WT) and Sirt7-/-mice and their capacity for cell proliferation and migration was compared. Sirt7 expression was increased in vascular tissue at the sites of injury. Sirt7-/-mice demonstrated significant reduction in neointimal formation compared to WT mice. In vitro, Sirt7 deficiency attenuated the proliferation of serum-induced VSMCs. Serum stimulation-induced upregulation of cyclins and cyclin-dependent-kinase 2 (CDK2) was significantly attenuated in VSMCs of Sirt7-/-compared with WT mice. These changes were accompanied by enhanced expression of the microRNA 290-295 cluster, the translational negative regulator of CDK2, in VSMCs of Sirt7-/-mice. It was confirmed that smooth muscle cell-specific Sirt7-deficient mice showed significant reduction in neointima compared with control mice. CONCLUSIONS Sirt7 deficiency attenuates neointimal formation after vascular injury. Given the predominant role in vascular neointimal formation, Sirt7 is a potentially suitable target for treatment of vascular diseases.

Sirtuin 1 and Sirtuin 3 in Granulosa Cell Tumors. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22042047. [PMID: 33669567 PMCID: PMC7923107 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22042047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent deacetylases that regulate proliferation and cell death. In the human ovary, granulosa cells express sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which has also been detected in human tumors derived from granulosa cells, i.e., granulosa cell tumors (GCTs), and in KGN cells. KGN cells are an established cellular model for the majority of GCTs and were used to explore the role of SIRT1. The SIRT1 activator SRT2104 increased cell proliferation. By contrast, the inhibitor EX527 reduced cell numbers, without inducing apoptosis. These results were supported by the outcome of siRNA-mediated silencing studies. A tissue microarray containing 92 GCTs revealed nuclear and/or cytoplasmic SIRT1 staining in the majority of the samples, and also, SIRT2-7 were detected in most samples. The expression of SIRT1-7 was not correlated with the survival of the patients; however, SIRT3 and SIRT7 expression was significantly correlated with the proliferation marker Ki-67, implying roles in tumor cell proliferation. SIRT3 was identified by a proteomic analysis as the most abundant SIRT in KGN. The results of the siRNA-silencing experiments indicate involvement of SIRT3 in proliferation. Thus, several SIRTs are expressed by GCTs, and SIRT1 and SIRT3 are involved in the growth regulation of KGN. If transferable to GCTs, these SIRTs may represent novel drug targets.

Abstract
Mammalian cells use a specialized and complex machinery for the removal of altered proteins or dysfunctional organelles. Such machinery is part of a mechanism called autophagy. Moreover, when autophagy is specifically employed for the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria, it is called mitophagy. Autophagy and mitophagy have important physiological implications and roles associated with cellular differentiation, resistance to stresses such as starvation, metabolic control and adaptation to the changing microenvironment. Unfortunately, transformed cancer cells often exploit autophagy and mitophagy for sustaining their metabolic reprogramming and growth to a point that autophagy and mitophagy are recognized as promising targets for ongoing and future antitumoral therapies. Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacylases with a fundamental role in sensing and modulating cellular response to external stresses such as nutrients availability and therefore involved in aging, oxidative stress control, inflammation, differentiation and cancer. It is clear, therefore, that autophagy, mitophagy and sirtuins share many common aspects to a point that, recently, sirtuins have been linked to the control of autophagy and mitophagy. In the context of cancer, such a control is obtained by modulating transcription of autophagy and mitophagy genes, by post translational modification of proteins belonging to the autophagy and mitophagy machinery, by controlling ROS production or major metabolic pathways such as Krebs cycle or glutamine metabolism. The present review details current knowledge on the role of sirtuins, autophagy and mitophagy in cancer to then proceed to discuss how sirtuins can control autophagy and mitophagy in cancer cells. Finally, we discuss sirtuins role in the context of tumor progression and metastasis indicating glutamine metabolism as an example of how a concerted activation and/or inhibition of sirtuins in cancer cells can control autophagy and mitophagy by impinging on the metabolism of this fundamental amino acid.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are class III histone deacetylases (HDACs) that play important roles in aging and a wide range of cellular functions. Sirtuins are crucial to numerous biological processes, including proliferation, DNA repair, mitochondrial energy homeostasis, and antioxidant activity. Mammals have seven different sirtuins, SIRT1–7, and the diverse biological functions of each sirtuin are due to differences in subcellular localization, expression profiles, and cellular substrates. In this review, we summarize research advances into the role of sirtuins in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases including acute kidney injury, diabetic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and kidney aging along with the possible underlying molecular mechanisms. The available evidence indicates that sirtuins have great potential as novel therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases.

Abstract
Fibrotic lung diseases qualify among the most dreaded irreversible interstitial pulmonary complications with progressive yet largely unpredictable clinical course. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most challenging prototype characterized by unknown and complex molecular etiology, severe dearth of non-invasive therapeutic options and average lifespan of 2-5 years in patients post diagnosis. Lung fibrosis (LF) is a leading cause of death in the industrialized world with the propensity to contract, significantly increasing with age. Approximately 45% deaths in US are attributed to fibrotic diseases while around 7% respiratory disease-associated deaths, annually in UK, are actually attributed to IPF. Recent developments in the field of LF have unambiguously pointed towards the pivotal role of Sirtuins (SIRTs) in regulating disease progression, thereby qualifying as potential anti-fibrotic drug targets. These NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylases, deacylases and ADP-ribosyltransferases are evolutionarily conserved proteins, regulated by diverse metabolic/environmental factors and implicated in age-related degenerative and inflammatory disorders. While SIRT1, SIRT6 and SIRT7 are predominantly nuclear, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5 are mainly mitochondrial and SIRT2 is majorly cytosolic with occasional nuclear translocation. SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6 and SIRT7 are documented as cytoprotective sirtuins implicated in cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic diseases including fibrosis; however functional roles of remaining sirtuins in pulmonary pathologies are yet elusive. Here, we provide a comprehensive recent update on the regulatory role of sirtuins on LF along with discussion on potential therapeutic modulation of endogenous Sirtuin expression through synthetic/plant-derived compounds which can help synthetic chemists and ethnopharmacologists to design new-generation cheap, non-toxic Sirtuin-based drugs against LF.

Abstract
Background Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common and bothersome condition. Invasive surgery will always be considered after conservative treatment fails, but the rates of postoperative complications and long-term recurrence are high. Thus, a new treatment strategy is still needed. In recent years, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) have shown great promise for SUI treatment. The therapeutic effects of BMMSC on SUI are achieved mainly by paracrine pathway signaling molecules, such as small extracellular vesicles (sEV). sEV are recognized as essential mediators of cell-to-cell communication. However, the therapeutic effects and detailed mechanisms of BMMSC-derived sEV in SUI remain mostly unexplored. Methods The effects of BMMSC-sEV on extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism were assessed in vitro and in vivo. In a SUI rat model, TGF-β1 signaling was examined with or without BMMSC-sEV stimulation. sEV miRNAs were deeply sequenced, and the most likely miRNAs were evaluated as mediators of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway. Results BMMSC-sEV enhanced the synthesis of ECM components, including elastin, collagen I, and collagen III, and improved urethral function. Furthermore, BMMSC-sEV activated TGF-β1 signaling in primary fibroblast cells and in rat urethras. Several differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in the BMMSC-sEV. Bioinformatics analysis and in vitro studies showed that BMMSC-sEV miR-328a-3p can be transferred from BMMSC to fibroblasts and can regulate the Sirt7/TGF-β1 signaling pathway. Conclusion BMMSC-sEV promote ECM remodeling of damaged urethral sphincters by transferring miR-328a-3p to regulate the Sirt7/TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
SIRT7 belongs to the family of “NAD+ dependent deacetylases” called Sirtuins. In the present work we report a novel role of SIRT7 in regulating cellular polarity. SIRT7 overexpression in immortalized mouse fibroblasts (NIH3T3) induced epithelial transition. This transition was accompanied by typical N- to E- cadherin transition, stabilization of β-catenin, and the downregulation of transcription factors responsible for maintenance of mesenchymal phenotype (Snail, Slug, and Zeb1). Interestingly, a subpopulation of cells overexpressing SIRT7 exhibited an intermediate stage between mesenchymal and epithelial characters. Transformed epithelial cells showed a loss of heterochromatisation as evidenced by a loss of HP1α and H3K9 dimethylation staining. In conclusion, we report a role of SIRT7 in mesenchymal cells, which may have implications for health and disease.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified recently as pivotal regulators in the development and progression of cancers, generally by acting as competing endogenous RNAs of microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate gene expression. The dysregulation of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has attracted much attention, but the precise role of circRNAs in HCC remains largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role of circular RNA PVT1 (circPVT1), a newly identified cancer-related circRNA, in HCC. Herein, we found that circPVT1 expression was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circPVT1 significantly reduced the growth and colony formation, and increased cell apoptosis, of HCC cells. Our results further identified circPVT1 as a sponge for miR-3666. Knockdown of circPVT1 significantly increased miR-3666 expression in HCC cells. Moreover, miR-3666 expression was significantly downregulated in HCC tissues and was inversely correlated with circPVT1 expression. In addition, the overexpression of miR-3666 inhibited the growth of HCC cells by targeting Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7). Notably, miR-3666 inhibition or SIRT7 overexpression partially reversed the circPVT1 knockdown-mediated inhibitory effect on HCC cell growth. Overall, these results demonstrate that downregulation of circPVT1 represses HCC cell growth by upregulating miR-3666 to inhibit SIRT7, suggesting circPVT1 as a potential therapeutic target for HCC. Our study highlights the involvement of circPVT1/miR-3666/SIRT7 in regulating HCC cell growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early gestational alcohol exposure is associated with severe craniofacial and CNS dysmorphologies and behavioral abnormalities during adolescence and adulthood. Alcohol exposure during the formation of the neural tube (gestational day [GD] 8 to 10 in mice; equivalent to4th week of human pregnancy) disrupts development of ventral midline brain structures such as the pituitary, septum, and ventricles. This study identifies transcriptomic changes in the rostroventral neural tube (RVNT), the region of the neural tube that gives rise to the midline structures sensitive to alcohol exposure during neurulation. METHODS Female C57BL/6J mice were administered 2 doses of alcohol (2.9 g/kg) or vehicle 4 hours apart on GD 9.0. The RVNTs of embryos were collected 6 or 24 hours after the first dose and processed for RNA-seq. RESULTS Six hours following GD 9.0 alcohol exposure (GD 9.25), over 2,300 genes in the RVNT were determined to be differentially regulated by alcohol. Enrichment analysis determined that PAE affected pathways related to cell proliferation, p53 signaling, ribosome biogenesis, and immune activation. In addition, over 100 genes involved in primary cilia formation and function and regulation of morphogenic pathways were altered 6 hours after alcohol exposure. The changes to gene expression were largely transient, as only 91 genes identified as differentially regulated by prenatal alcohol at GD 10 (24 hours postexposure). Functionally, the differentially regulated genes at GD 10 were related to organogenesis and cell migration. CONCLUSIONS These data give a comprehensive view of the changing landscape of the embryonic transcriptome networks in regions of the neural tube that give rise to brain structures impacted by a neurulation-stage alcohol exposure. Identification of gene networks dysregulated by alcohol will help elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of alcohol's actions.

Abstract
NAD+-dependent SIRT7 deacylase plays essential roles in ribosome biogenesis, stress response, genome integrity, metabolism and aging, while how it is transcriptionally regulated is still largely unclear. TGF-β signaling is highly conserved in multicellular organisms, regulating cell growth, cancer stemness, migration and invasion. Here, we demonstrate that histone deacetylase HDAC8 forms complex with SMAD3/4 heterotrimer and occupies SIRT7 promoter, wherein it deacetylates H4 and thus suppresses SIRT7 transcription. Treatment with HDAC8 inhibitor compromises TGF-β signaling via SIRT7-SMAD4 axis and consequently, inhibits lung metastasis and improves chemotherapy efficacy in breast cancer. Our data establish a regulatory feedback loop of TGF-β signaling, wherein HDAC8 as a novel cofactor of SMAD3/4 complex, transcriptionally suppresses SIRT7 via local chromatin remodeling and thus further activates TGF-β signaling. Targeting HDAC8 exhibits therapeutic potential for TGF-β signaling related diseases.

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
The central pacemaker in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) synchronizes peripheral oscillators to coordinate physiological and behavioural activities throughout the body. How circadian phase coherence between the SCN and the periphery is controlled is not well understood. Here, we identify hepatic SIRT7 as an early responsive element to light that ensures circadian phase coherence in the mouse liver. The SCN-driven body temperature (BT) oscillation induces rhythmic expression of HSP70, which promotes SIRT7 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Acute temperature challenge dampens the BT oscillation and causes an advanced liver circadian phase. Further, hepatic SIRT7 deacetylates CRY1, promotes its FBXL3-mediated degradation and regulates the hepatic clock and glucose homeostasis. Loss of Sirt7 in mice leads to an advanced liver circadian phase and rapid entrainment of the hepatic clock upon daytime-restricted feeding. These data identify a BT-HSP70-SIRT7-CRY1 axis that couples the mouse hepatic clock to the central pacemaker and ensures circadian phase coherence and glucose homeostasis.

[PMID: 31331964 PMCID: PMC6771141 DOI: 10.1242/jcs.228601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2018] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In humans, ribosome biogenesis mainly occurs in nucleoli following two alternative pre-rRNA processing pathways differing in the order in which cleavages take place but not by the sites of cleavage. To uncover the role of the nucleolar NAD+-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 7 in the synthesis of ribosomal subunits, pre-rRNA processing was analyzed after sirtinol-mediated inhibition of sirtuin 7 activity or depletion of sirtuin 7 protein. We thus reveal that sirtuin 7 activity is a critical regulator of processing of 45S, 32S and 30S pre-rRNAs. Sirtuin 7 protein is primarily essential to 45S pre-rRNA cleavage at site 2, which is the first step of processing pathway 2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that sirtuin 7 physically interacts with Nop56 and the GAR domain of fibrillarin, and propose that this could interfere with fibrillarin-dependent cleavage. Sirtuin 7 depletion results in the accumulation of 5' extended forms of 32S pre-rRNA, and also influences the localization of fibrillarin. Thus, we establish a close relationship between sirtuin 7 and fibrillarin, which might determine the processing pathway used for ribosome biogenesis.

Abstract
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are found in many different tissues after development. They are responsible for regenerating and repairing tissues after injury, as well as replacing cells when needed. Adult stem cells maintain a delicate balance between self-renewal to prevent depletion of the stem cell pool and differentiation to continually replenish downstream lineages. The important role of mitochondria in generating energy, calcium storage and regulating cell death is well established. However, new research has linked mitochondria to stem cell maintenance and fate. In addition, efficient mitochondrial quality control is critical for stem cell homeostasis to ensure their long-term survival in tissues. In this review, we discuss the latest evidence linking mitochondrial function, remodeling and turnover via autophagy to regulation of adult stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.

Abstract
Background Optimal therapeutic strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients are still challenging due to the high recurrence rate after surgical resection and chemotherapy resistance. Growing evidence shows that genetic and epigenetic alterations are involved in HCC progression and resistance to therapy, however the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to therapy have not been fully understood. Methods Expression of SIRT7 in 17 paired paraffin-embedded HCC tissues and adjacent nontumoral liver tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The mRNA expression of SIRT7 in 20 paired frozen HCC tissues and adjacent nontumoral liver tissues was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. The biologic consequences of overexpression and knockdown of SIRT7 in HCC therapy sensitivity were studied in vitro and in vivo. Interaction between SIRT7 and p53 were studied in HCC cell lines. Results SIRT7 expression was frequently upregulated in clinical HCC samples, and its expression was highly associated with TACE-resistance and poor survival (P = 0.008.) Depletion of SIRT7 from multiple liver cancer cell lines significantly increased doxorubicin toxicity while overexpression of SIRT7 largely abolished doxorubicin induced apoptosis. At the molecular level, we observed that SIRT7 interacts with and induces deacetylation of p53 at lysines 320 and 373. Deacetylated p53 showed significantly less affinity for the NOXA promoter and its transcription. In mouse xenografts, SIRT7 suppression increased doxorubicin induced p53 activation, inhibited tumor growth and induced apoptosis. Conclusion The newly identified SIRT7-p53-NOXA axis partially illustrates the molecular mechanism of HCC resistance to therapy and represents a novel potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.

SIRT7 Regulates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Injury by Suppressing the NF- κB Signaling Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:3187972.

Abstract
Mastitis has severely affected the cattle industry worldwide and has resulted in decreased dairy production and cattle reproduction. Although prevention and treatment methods have been implemented for decades, cattle mastitis is still an intractable disease. Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase that is involved in various biological processes, including ribosomal RNA synthesis and protein synthesis, DNA damage response, metabolism, and tumorigenesis. However, whether SIRT7 participates in inflammation remains unknown. Our results revealed that SIRT7 is downregulated in tissue samples from mastitic cattle. Therefore, we isolated dairy cow mammary epithelial cells (DCMECs) from breast tissues and developed an in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced inflammation to examine SIRT7 function and its potential role in inflammation. We showed that SIRT7 was significantly downregulated in LPS-treated DCMECs. SIRT7 knockdown significantly increased the LPS-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators, like reactive oxygen and nitric oxide, and upregulated TAB1 and TLR4. In addition, SIRT7 knockdown significantly increased the phosphorylation of TAK1 and NF-κBp65 in LPS-treated DCMECs. Moreover, SIRT7 knockdown promoted the translocation of NF-κBp-p65 to the cell nucleus and then increased the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6). In contrast, SIRT7 overexpression had the opposite effects when compared to SIRT7 knockdown in LPS-treated DCMECs. In addition, SIRT7 overexpression attenuated LPS-induced DCMEC apoptosis. Taken together, our results indicate that SIRT7 can suppress LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis via the NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, SIRT7 may be considered as a potential pharmacological target for clinical mastitis therapy.

Abstract
The prevalence of psoriasis is increasing, and poses a serious risk to human health and quality of life. Psoriasis, a chronic immune‑mediated skin disease with epidermal hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, is associated with numerous complications, including metabolic syndromes that are regulated by sirtuins (SIRTs) via deacetylation. As they serve a necessary function in inflammation and metabolism, SIRTs are considered to link inflammation and metabolic syndrome. Previous studies have indicated that SIRTs serve a function in the pathophysiology of psoriasis, but to date no detailed research has been conducted investigating the expression levels and patterns of SIRTs in psoriasis. The present study investigated the abnormal expression of SIRTs in psoriasis and provided a theoretical foundation for the treatment and prognosis of psoriasis. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α‑stimulated HaCaT cells and an imiquimod‑induced psoriasis mouse model were used to produce in vitro and in vivo models, respectively. Psoriasis clinical specimens (psoriasis area and severity index >10; n=22) and normal group specimens (n=22) were obtained from human subjects. The mRNA and protein expression levels in human and mouse skin lesions and TNF‑α‑stimulated HaCaT cells were detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and western blotting, and compared with the control groups. The expression patterns of SIRT proteins were investigated using immunofluorescence (IF) staining. The expression levels of SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 were downregulated while those of SIRT6 and SIRT7 were upregulated in skin lesions and TNF‑α‑stimulated HaCaT cells compared with the control group as determined by RT‑qPCR, western blotting and IF. Statistically significant differences were observed in vivo and in vitro. P‑values of SIRT1‑7 mRNA are less than 0.05 in RT‑qPCR, and the P‑values of SIRT1‑7 proteins are less than 0.05 except for SIRT4 in the western blot analysis. SIRTs serve notable functions in severe psoriasis dermatitis, with the overexpression of SIRT6 and SIRT7 potentially induced by the adaptive immune response, and the downregulation of SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 may be a result of an internal environment imbalance in vivo. Psoriasis is an inflammation and metabolism‑associated disease mediated by the SIRT family. The present results provide a novel potential mechanism and strategy for the treatment of psoriasis by modulating the function and expression of SIRTs.

Abstract
Using an engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase mutant together with tRNACUAPyl, we have genetically encoded Nε-(7-azidoheptanoyl)-l-lysine (AzHeK) by amber codon in Escherichia coli for recombinant expression of a number of AzHeK-containing histone H3 proteins. We assembled in vitro acyl-nucleosomes from these recombinant acyl-H3 histones. All these acyl-nucleosomes contained an azide functionality that allowed quick click labeling with a strained alkyne dye for in-gel fluorescence analysis. Using these acyl-nucleosomes as substrates and click labeling as a detection method, we systematically investigated chromatin deacylation activities of SIRT7, a class III NAD+-dependent histone deacylase with roles in aging and cancer biology. Besides confirming the previously reported histone H3K18 deacylation activity, our results revealed that SIRT7 has an astonishingly high activity to catalyze deacylation of H3K36 and is also catalytically active to deacylate H3K37. We further demonstrated that this H3K36 deacylation activity is nucleosome dependent and can be significantly enhanced when appending the acyl-nucleosome substrate with a short double-stranded DNA that mimics the bridging DNA between nucleosomes in native chromatin. By overexpressing SIRT7 in human cells, we verified that SIRT7 natively removes acetylation from histone H3K36. Moreover, SIRT7-deficient cells exhibited H3K36 hyperacetylation in whole cell extracts, at rDNA sequences in nucleoli, and at select SIRT7 target loci, demonstrating the physiologic importance of SIRT7 in determining endogenous H3K36 acetylation levels. H3K36 acetylation has been detected at active gene promoters, but little is understood about its regulation and functions. Our findings establish H3K36 as a physiologic substrate of SIRT7 and implicate this modification in potential SIRT7 pathways in heterochromatin silencing and genomic stability.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases and play a role in virtually all cell biological processes. As SIRTs functions vary according to their subtypes, they can either activate or inhibit signaling pathways upon different conditions or tissues. Recent studies have focused on metabolic effects performed by SIRTs in several cell types since specific metabolic pathways (e.g., aerobic glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, β-oxidation, glutaminolysis) are used to determine the cell fate. However, few efforts have been made to understand the role of SIRTs on B lymphocytes metabolism and function. These cells are associated with humoral immune responses by secreting larger amounts of antibodies after differentiating into antibody-secreting cells. Besides, both the SIRTs and B lymphocytes are potential targets to treat several immune-mediated disorders, including cancer. Here, we provide an outlook of recent studies regarding the role of SIRTs in general cellular metabolism and B lymphocytes functions, pointing out the future perspectives of this field.

Abstract
Sirtuin7 (Sirt7) is a member of the Sir2 histone deacetylase family that functions in a number of physiological processes, including cellular metabolism, ageing and apoptosis. Several studies have indicated that Sirt7 may serve a vital role in promoting the development of cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, its function in glioma progression has not been demonstrated. The present study revealed that Sirt7 expression was upregulated in human glioma tissues and that the high expression level of Sirt7 was positively associated with glioma malignancy. Further results indicated that the suppression of Sirt7 expression could inhibit the activation of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) concomitantly with decreased expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 in glioma cells. Phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibited when Sirt7 was downregulated by siRNA interference in glioma cell lines. The findings of the present study indicated that Sirt7 affects the malignancy of glioma cells mainly in promoting glioma proliferation and invasion through ERK and STAT3 signaling. Thus, Sirt7 may function as a valuable target for the treatment of human glioma.

SIRT7 Regulates the Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation and Migration via Wnt/ β-Catenin Signaling Pathway. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:4769596. [PMID: 30627559 PMCID: PMC6304541 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4769596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2018] [Revised: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
A huge amount of evidence indicates that sirtuin 7 (SIRT7), a key mediator of many cellular activities, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, little is known about the role of SIRT7 in atherosclerosis. This study investigated the potential role of SIRT7 in regulating the proliferation and migration of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) and its possible molecular mechanism. In this study, human vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) were induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to establish atherosclerosis (AS) cell model. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect the level of α-SMA expression, which was a marker protein in AS. In addition, RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were applied for exploring the mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT7, Wnt, β-catenin, and cyclin D1 after knockdown or overexpression of SIRT7. And, furthermore, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, and wound-healing assay were used to assess HAVSMCs proliferation, cell cycle, and migration. Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), a secretory glycoprotein that can block Wnt/β-catenin pathway, was used in SIRT7 overexpression HAVSMCs; subsequently cells proliferation and migration were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry analysis, and wound-healing assay. We found that knockdown of SIRT7 significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration, decreased the percentages of cells in the G1 and G2 phases, and increased those in the S phase and downregulated the protein expression levels of Wnt, β-catenin, and cyclin D1, while overexpression of SIRT7 had reverse results. After treatment with Wnt/beta-catenin pathway inhibitor DKK-1 in SIRT7 overexpression HAVSMCs, cell proliferation and migration were increased, respectively. In conclusion, SIRT7 inhibited HAVSMCs proliferation and migration via enhancing Wnt/β-catenin activation, which provided a novel therapeutic strategy for antiatherosclerosis.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-7), a class of deacetylases, play major roles in DNA damage repair, aging, and metabolism in yeast and in mammals. SIRT7 is localized in the nucleolus. It regulates cellular processes, including genomic stability, rDNA transcription, and cell proliferation, and plays a role in tumorigenesis. SIRT7 deacetylates its substrates histone H3 (at lysine 18) and p53. p53, a tumor suppressor, induces apoptosis or cell cycle arrest and is stabilized by acetylation. p53 deacetylation at K382 by SIRT7 suppressed cancer cell growth by attenuating p53 activity. Therefore, identification of novel SIRT7 enzyme inhibitors is important. In this study, we found a novel inhibitor of SIRT7 (ID: 97491) that decreased SIRT7 activity in a dose-dependent manner. ID: 97491 induced expression of p53 and its acetylation by inhibited SIRT7. Moreover, ID: 97491 upregulated apoptotic effects through the caspase related proteins and inhibited cancer growth in vivo. The study results suggest that ID: 97491 can be a potential candidate to inhibit the deacetylase activity of SIRT7 and prevent tumor progression by increasing p53 stability through acetylation at K373/382.
