Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) represent a class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacetylases that exert a crucial role in cellular signal transduction and various biological processes. The mammalian sirtuins family encompasses SIRT1 to SIRT7, exhibiting therapeutic potential in counteracting cellular aging, modulating metabolism, responding to oxidative stress, inhibiting tumors, and improving cellular microenvironment. These enzymes are intricately linked to the occurrence and treatment of diverse pathological conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular disorders. Given the significance of histone modification in gene expression and chromatin structure, maintaining the equilibrium of the sirtuins family is imperative for disease prevention and health restoration. Mounting evidence suggests that modulators of SIRTs play a crucial role in treating various diseases and maintaining physiological balance. This review delves into the molecular structure and regulatory functions of the sirtuins family, reviews the classification and historical evolution of SIRTs modulators, offers a systematic overview of existing SIRTs modulation strategies, and elucidates the regulatory mechanisms of SIRTs modulators (agonists and inhibitors) and their clinical applications. The article concludes by summarizing the challenges encountered in SIRTs modulator research and offering insights into future research directions.

Guan L, Eisenmenger A, Crasta KC, Sandalova E, Maier AB. Therapeutic effect of dietary ingredients on cellular senescence in animals and humans: A systematic review. Ageing Res Rev 2024; 95:102238. [PMID: 38382678 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102238] [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: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular senescence has been regarded as a therapeutic target for ageing and age-related diseases. Several senotherapeutic agents have been proposed, including compounds derived from natural products which hold the translational potential to promote healthy ageing. This systematic review examined the association of dietary ingredients with cellular senescence in animals and humans, with an intent to identify dietary ingredients with senotherapeutic potential. METHODS This systematic review was registered at PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (Reg #: CRD42022338885). The databases PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for key terms related to cellular senescence, senescence markers, diets, nutrients and bioactive compounds. Intervention and observational studies on human and animals investigating the effects of dietary ingredients via oral administration on cellular senescence load were included. The SYRCLE's risk of bias tool and Cochrane risk of bias tool v2.0 were used to assess the risk of bias for animal and human studies respectively. RESULTS Out of 5707 identified articles, 83 articles consisting of 78 animal studies and 5 human studies aimed to reduce cellular senescence load using dietary ingredients. In animal studies, the most-frequently used senescence model was normative ageing (26 studies), followed by D-galactose-induced models (17 studies). Resveratrol (8 studies), vitamin E (4 studies) and soy protein isolate (3 studies) showed positive effects on reducing the level of senescence markers such as p53, p21, p16 and senescence-associated ß-galactosidase in various tissues of physiological systems. In three out of five human studies, ginsenoside Rg1 had no positive effect on reducing senescence in muscle tissues after exercise. The risk of bias for both animal and human studies was largely unclear. CONCLUSION Resveratrol, vitamin E and soy protein isolate are promising senotherapeutics studied in animal models. Studies testing dietary ingredients with senotherapeutic potential in humans are limited and translation is highly warranted.

Abstract
Sirtuins catalyze deacetylation of lysine residues with a NAD+-dependent mechanism. In mammals, the sirtuin family is composed of seven members, divided into four subclasses that differ in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, regulation, as well as interactions with other proteins, both within and outside the epigenetic field. Recently, much interest has been growing in SIRT3, which is mainly involved in regulating mitochondrial metabolism. Moreover, SIRT3 seems to be protective in diseases such as age-related, neurodegenerative, liver, kidney, heart, and metabolic ones, as well as in cancer. In most cases, activating SIRT3 could be a promising strategy to tackle these health problems. Here, we summarize the main biological functions, substrates, and interactors of SIRT3, as well as several molecules reported in the literature that are able to modulate SIRT3 activity. Among the activators, some derive from natural products, others from library screening, and others from the classical medicinal chemistry approach.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) were originally characterized by yeast Sir2 as a lifespan regulator that is conserved in all three structural domains of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes and belong to histone deacetylases consisting of seven members (SIRT1-SIRT7). Surprisingly, SIRTs have been shown to play important regulatory roles in almost all cellular functions, including mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress, inflammation, cell growth, energy metabolism, neural function, and stress resistance. Among the SIRT members, sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is one of the most important deacetylases that regulates the mitochondrial acetylation and plays a role in pathological processes, such as metabolism, DNA repair, oxidative stress, apoptosis and ferroptosis. Therefore, SIRT3 is considered as a potential target for the treatment of a variety of pathological diseases, including metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, age-related diseases and others. Furthermore, the isolation, screening, and development of SIRT3 signaling agonists, especially from natural products, have become a widely investigated objective. This paper describes the structure of SIRT3 protein, discusses the pathological process of SIRT3-mediated acetylation modification, and reviews the role of SIRT3 in diseases, SIRT3 activators and its related disease studies.

Abstract
As aging societies in the western world face a growing prevalence of vascular cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD), understanding their underlying causes and associated risk factors becomes increasingly critical. A salient concern in the western dietary context is the high consumption of methionine-rich foods such as red meat. The present review delves into the impact of this methionine-heavy diet and the resultant hyperhomocysteinemia on accelerated cerebrovascular and brain aging, emphasizing their potential roles in cognitive impairment. Through a comprehensive exploration of existing evidence, a link between high methionine intake and hyperhomocysteinemia and oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and accelerated epigenetic aging is drawn. Moreover, the microvascular determinants of cognitive deterioration, including endothelial dysfunction, reduced cerebral blood flow, microvascular rarefaction, impaired neurovascular coupling, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, are explored. The mechanisms by which excessive methionine consumption and hyperhomocysteinemia might drive cerebromicrovascular and brain aging processes are elucidated. By presenting an intricate understanding of the relationships among methionine-rich diets, hyperhomocysteinemia, cerebrovascular and brain aging, and cognitive impairment, avenues for future research and potential therapeutic interventions are suggested.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease characterized by severe chronic joint pain, that imposes a large burden on elderly people. OA is a highly heterogeneous disease, and multiple etiologies contribute to its progression. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are Class III histone deacetylases (HDACs) that regulate a comprehensive range of biological processes such as gene expression, cell differentiation, and organism development, and lifespan. Over the past three decades, increasing evidence has revealed that SIRTs are not only important energy sensors but also protectors against metabolic stresses and aging, and an increasing number of studies have focused on the functions of SIRTs in OA pathogenesis. In this review, we illustrate the biological functions of SIRTs in OA pathogenesis from the perspectives of energy metabolism, inflammation, autophagy and cellular senescence. Moreover, we offer insights into the role played by SIRTs in regulating circadian rhythm, which has recently been recognized to be crucial in OA development. Here, we provide the current understanding of SIRTs in OA to guide a new direction for OA treatment exploration.

Abstract
Endothelial cells are located at the crucial interface between circulating blood and semi-solid tissues and have many important roles in maintaining systemic physiological function. The vascular endothelium is particularly susceptible to pathogenic stimuli that activate tumour suppressor pathways leading to cellular senescence. We now understand that senescent endothelial cells are highly active, secretory and pro-inflammatory, and have an aberrant morphological phenotype. Moreover, endothelial senescence has been identified as an important contributor to various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In this Review, we discuss the consequences of endothelial cell exposure to damaging stimuli (haemodynamic forces and circulating and endothelial-derived factors) and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that induce endothelial cell senescence. We also discuss how endothelial cell senescence causes arterial dysfunction and contributes to clinical cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Finally, we summarize the latest evidence on the effect of eliminating senescent endothelial cells (senolysis) and identify important remaining questions to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
Salidroside, the main bioactive compound isolated from the plant source of Rhodiola rosea L, possesses broad-spectrum pharmacological activities, but suffers from the low cell membranes permeability and alimentary absorption due to its high polarity. Therefore, a whole-cell catalytic strategy for the synthesis of salidroside esters was explored to improve its lipophilicity. The results showed that Aspergillus oryzae demonstrated the highest biocatalytic activity among the microbial strains tested. For the synthesis of salidroside caprylate, the optimum conditions of reaction medium, Aspergillus oryzae amount, molar ratio of vinyl caprylate to salidroside and reaction temperature were acetone, 30 mg/ml, 10°C and 40°C, respectively. Under these conditions, the initial reaction rate was 15.36 mM/h, and substrate conversion and regioselectivity all reached 99%. Moreover, the results indicated that although various 6'-monoesters derivatives of salidroside were exclusively obtained with excellent conversions (96%-99%), the reaction rate varied greatly with different chain-length acyl donors. This study details an efficient and cost-effective biocatalytic approach for the synthesis of salidroside esters by using Aspergillus oryzae as a catalyst for the first time. Considering the whole cell catalytic efficiency and operational stability, this strategy may provide a new opportunity to develop green industrial processes production for ester derivatives of salidroside and its analogues.

Salidroside Regulates Mitochondrial Homeostasis After Polarization of RAW264.7 Macrophages. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2022; 81:85-92.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Salidroside has anti-inflammatory and antiatherosclerotic effects, and mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance is closely related to cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of salidroside on mitochondrial homeostasis after macrophage polarization and elucidate its possible mechanism against atherosclerosis. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with 1 μg·mL -1 Lipopolysaccharide and 50 ng·mL -1 IFN-γ establish M1 polarization and were also pretreated with 400 μM salidroside. The relative expression of proinflammatory genes was detected by RT-PCR whereas that of mitochondrial homeostasis-related proteins and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) was detected by WB. Levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, and mass were measured by chemifluorescence whereas that of NF-κB nuclear translocation was detected by immunofluorescence. Compared with the Mφ group, the M1 group demonstrated increased mRNA expression of interleukin-1β , inductible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and tumor necrosis factor-α ; increased protein expression of iNOS, NOD-like receptor protein 3, putative kinase 1 , and NF-κB p65 but decreased protein expression of MFN2, Tom20, and PGC-1α; decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and mass; and increased ROS levels and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. Salidroside intervention decreased mRNA expression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α compared with the M1 group but did not affect that of iNOS. Furthermore, salidroside intervention prevented the changes in protein expression, mitochondrial membrane potential and mass, ROS levels, and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation observed in the M1 group. In summary, salidroside ultimately inhibits M1 macrophage polarization and maintains mitochondrial homeostasis after macrophage polarization by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential, decreasing ROS levels, inhibiting NF-κB activation, and in turn regulating the expression of proinflammatory factors and mitochondrial homeostasis-associated proteins.

As a biomarker for whole grain dietary intake, 5-heptadecylresorcinol (AR-C17) has attracted increased attention due to its potential health-improving activity. However, the beneficial effect of AR-C17 on atherosclerosis prevention and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS High-fat diet fed apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/- ) mice are administrated with or without AR-C17 (30 and 150 mg kg-1 ) for 16 weeks. Histological staining is performed for plaque analysis. Immunofluorescence, western blot, and seahorse cell analysis are carried out to investigate the action of mechanism of AR-C17. The results indicate that AR-C17 supplementation lowered serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL-C, and LDL-C levels. Moreover, the atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic root region of mice heart are significantly reduced by AR-C17 intervention compared with ApoE-/- control group. In addition, AR-C17 treatment alleviates endothelial cell damage and apoptosis by improving mitochondrial function via sirtuin3 signaling pathway both in ApoE-/- mice and oxidized-LDL-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. CONCLUSION AR-C17 may be applied as a promising grain-based dietary bioactive ingredient for atherosclerosis prevention. Meanwhile, as a mitochondrial protective agent, it can offer support for the suggested health claim of whole grain diet.

Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) was discovered to be an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis (AS). Moreover, endothelial‑mesenchymal transition (EndMT) was found to be one of main mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of AS. Salidroside (SAL) has diverse pharmacological activities, including anti‑inflammatory, anti‑cancer, anti‑oxidative and anti‑fibrosis properties. However, whether SAL serves a beneficial role in Hcy‑induced EndMT remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate whether SAL exerted its effects on Hcy‑induced EndMT via the Kruppel‑like factor 4 (KLF4)/endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) signaling pathway. HUVECs were pretreated with high and low doses (10 or 50 µmol/l) of SAL for 2 h, followed by 1 mmol/l Hcy for 48 h to induce EndMT. Western blotting was used to analyze the protein expression levels of the endothelial marker, VE‑cadherin, the mesenchymal cell marker, α‑smooth muscle actin (SMA), and the nuclear transcription factors, KLF4 and eNOS. Wound healing assays were used to determine the cell migratory ability, and the levels of NO in the cell culture supernatants were measured using a nitrate reductase assay. Cellular immunofluorescence was used to analyze the expression and localization of KLF4. Small interfering (si)RNA targeting KLF4 (siKLF4) was used to knock down KLF4 expression in HUVECs. The results of the present study revealed that treatment with SAL upregulated the expression levels of VE‑cadherin, downregulated the expression levels of α‑SMA, reduced cell migration and activated the eNOS/NO signaling axis, as well as downregulated KLF4 expression and translocation to the nucleus. Compared with the SAL + siKLF4 co‑administration group, no significant differences were observed in the expression levels of the phenotypic markers in the SAL or siKLF4 groups. In conclusion, the findings of the present study revealed that SAL may inhibit Hcy‑induced EndMT via regulation of the KLF4/eNOS signaling pathway.

Phytother Res 2021; 35:4579-4591.

Abstract
To investigate the effects and the underlying mechanisms of salidroside on diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetes was induced in mice by a long-term high-fat diet and a low-dose injection of streptozocin. Measurements of cardiac function, biochemical analysis, and histopathological examinations were conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects of salidroside. In this study, we found that diabetic mice exhibited decreased cardiac systolic function and impaired mitochondrial ultrastructure. Pre-treatment with salidroside protected mice against myocardial dysfunction, reduced blood glucose, improved insulin resistance, and induced mitochondrial biogenesis. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured to explore the mechanisms of salidroside in vitro. Salidroside alleviated decreased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) via phosphorylation of 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which may be associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Salidroside also increased sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) expression in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, salidroside promoted the translocation of SIRT3 from cytoplasm to mitochondria and increased the deacetylation of mitochondrial proteins such as manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). In Conclusion, salidroside not only improved diabetes, but also ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy, which was at least partly associated with the activation of mitochondrial SIRT3, AMPK/Akt, and PGC-1α/TFAM and subsequent improving mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex chronic disease that occurs in the arterial wall. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic plaques. The dominance of oxidative stress over antioxidative capacity generates excess reactive oxygen species, leading to dysfunctions of the endothelium and accelerating atherosclerotic plaque progression. Studies showed that Chinese herbal medicines and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) might regulate oxidative stress; they have already been used to treat diseases related to atherosclerosis, including stroke and myocardial infarction. This review will summarize the mechanisms of oxidative stress in atherosclerosis and discuss studies of Chinese herbal medicines and TCM preparations treating atherosclerosis, aiming to increase understanding of TCM and stimulate research for new drugs to treat diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Salidroside and isorhamnetin attenuate urotensin II-induced inflammatory response in vivo and in vitro: Involvement in regulating the RhoA/ROCK II pathway. Oncol Lett 2021; 21:292.

Abstract
Urotensin II (UII), a vital vasoconstrictor peptide, causes an inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Previous studies have reported that the Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/Rho kinases (ROCK) pathway modulates the inflammatory response of the atherosclerotic process. However, to the best of our knowledge, whether the RhoA/ROCK pathway mediates the inflammatory effect of UII has not been previously elucidated. Salidroside and isorhamnetin are two early developed antioxidant Tibetan drugs, both displaying cardioprotective effects against atherosclerosis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of salidroside, isorhamnetin or combination of these two drugs on the UII-induced inflammatory response in vivo (rats) or in vitro [primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)], as well as to examine the role of the RhoA/ROCK pathway in these processes. The levels of inflammatory markers were measured via ELISA. The mRNA and protein expression levels of RhoA and ROCK II were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR assay and western blot analysis. It was demonstrated that salidroside, isorhamnetin and both in combination decreased the levels of the serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as increased the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in rats with subacute infusion of UII and in the culture supernatant from primary VSMCs-exposed to UII. Moreover, salidroside, isorhamnetin and both in combination attenuated the mRNA and protein expression levels of RhoA and ROCK II in vivo and in vitro, at concentrations corresponding to human therapeutic blood plasma concentrations. Thus, these drugs could inhibit the RhoA/ROCK II pathway under UII conditions. The combination of salidroside and isorhamnetin did not display a stronger inhibitory effect on the inflammatory response and the RhoA/ROCK II pathway compared with salidroside and isorhamnetin in isolation. Collectively, the results indicated that salidroside, isorhamnetin and both in combination inhibited the RhoA/ROCK II pathway, which then attenuated the inflammatory response under UII-induced conditions, resulting in cardioprotection in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, a new pro-inflammatory programmed cell death, is linked to atherosclerosis (AS). Our previous studies suggested that salidroside (SAL) can alleviate AS and exert anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of SAL on atherosclerosis-related pyroptosis has not been studied. Here, we investigated the effect of SAL on pyroptosis to explain the underlying mechanisms of SAL on atherosclerosis-related inflammation. We established an atherosclerosis mouse model via western diet (HFD) to explore the protective effect of SAL. According to our results, administration of SAL for 12 weeks markedly reduced the atherosclerotic plaque in aorta. Meanwhile, SAL also alleviated the pyroptosis, as evidenced by inhibiting caspase-1 activation, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release, and TUNEL-positive staining, and decreasing the expression of Gasdermin D (GSDMD). Furthermore, SAL also decreased the activation of caspase-1 and inhibited the release of IL-1β induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs). Our data indicate that SAL inhibit NLRP3-related pyroptosis, which might be the underlying mechanism of SAL anti-inflammatory in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, and its incidence is increasing worldwide with increased lifespan. Currently, there is no effective treatment to cure or prevent the progression of AD, which indicates the need to develop novel therapeutic targets and agents. Sirtuins, especially SIRT3, a mitochondrial deacetylase, are NAD-dependent histone deacetylases involved in aging and longevity. Accumulating evidence indicates that SIRT3 dysfunction is strongly associated with pathologies of AD, hence, therapeutic modulation of SIRT3 activity may be a novel application to ameliorate the pathologies of AD. Natural products commonly used in traditional medicine have wide utility and appear to have therapeutic benefits for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD. The present review summarizes the currently available natural SIRT3 activators and their potentially neuroprotective molecular mechanisms of action that make them a promising agent in the treatment and management of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.

Abstract
Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase that is located in mitochondria, regulating mitochondrial proteins and maintaining cellular antioxidant status. Increasing evidence demonstrates that SIRT3 plays a role in degenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD), which is a devastating nervous system disease currently with no effective treatments available. Although the etiology of PD is still largely ambiguous, substantial evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play major roles in the pathogenesis of PD. The imbalance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and detoxification leads to oxidative stress that can accelerate the progression of PD. By causing conformational changes in the deacetylated proteins SIRT3 modulates the activities and biological functions of a variety of proteins involved in mitochondrial antioxidant defense and various mitochondrial functions. Increasingly more studies have suggested that upregulation of SIRT3 confers beneficial effect on neuroprotection in various PD models. This review discusses the mechanism by which SIRT3 regulates intracellular oxidative status and mitochondrial function with an emphasis in discussing in detail the regulation of SIRT3 on each component of the five complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and mitochondrial antioxidant defense, as well as the pharmacological regulation of SIRT3 in light of therapeutic strategies for PD.

Abstract
Stem cells (SCs) are special types of cells with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation. As the organism ages, the ability to maintain homeostasis and regeneration deteriorates and the number and activity of stem cells decline. Theoretically, the restoration of stem cells might reverse aging. However, due to their own aging, donor-derived immune rejection, and difficulties in stem cell differentiation control, a series of problems need to be solved to realize the potential for clinical application of stem cells. Chinese herbal medicine is a nature drug library which is suitable for the long-term treatment of aging-related diseases. Modern pharmacological studies have revealed that many active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines with the effect of promoting stem cells growth and differentiation mainly belong to “reinforcing herbs.” In recent years, exploration of natural active ingredients from Chinese herbal medicines for delaying aging, improving the stem cell microenvironment, and promoting the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous stem cells has attracted substantial attention. This article will focus on active ingredients from Chinese herbs-mediated differentiation of stem cells into particular cell type, like neural cells, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and osteoblasts. We will also discuss the effects of these small molecules on Wnt, Sonic Hedgehog, Notch, eNOS-cGMP, and MAP kinase signal transduction pathways, as well as reveal the role of estrogen receptor α and PPAR γ on selectively promoting or inhibiting stem cells differentiation. This review will provide new insights into the health aging strategies of active ingredients in Chinese herbal medicine in regenerative medicine.

Cell senescence is a fundamental mechanism of aging and appears to play vital roles in the onset and prognosis of cardiovascular disease, fibrotic pulmonary disease, liver disease and tumor. Moreover, an increasing body of evidence shows that cell senescence plays an indispensable role in the formation and development of atherosclerosis. Multiple senescent cell types are associated with atherosclerosis, senescent human vascular endothelial cells participated in atherosclerosis via regulating the level of endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), angiotensin II and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), senescent human vascular smooth muscle cells-mediated plaque instability and vascular calcification via regulating the expression level of BMP-2, OPN, Runx-2 and inflammatory molecules, and senescent macrophages impaired cholesterol efflux and promoted the development of senescent-related cardiovascular diseases. This review summarizes the characteristics of cell senescence and updates the molecular mechanisms underlying cell senescence. Moreover, we also discuss the recent advances on the molecular mechanisms that can potentially regulate the development and progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is one of the most prominent deacetylases that can regulate acetylation levels in mitochondria, which are essential for eukaryotic life and inextricably linked to the metabolism of multiple organs. Hitherto, SIRT3 has been substantiated to be involved in almost all aspects of mitochondrial metabolism and homeostasis, protecting mitochondria from a variety of damage. Accumulating evidence has recently documented that SIRT3 is associated with many types of human diseases, including age-related diseases, cancer, heart disease and metabolic diseases, indicating that SIRT3 can be a potential therapeutic target. Here we focus on summarizing the intricate mechanisms of SIRT3 in human diseases, and recent notable advances in the field of small-molecule activators or inhibitors targeting SIRT3 as well as their potential therapeutic applications for future drug discovery.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium is a protective barrier between the bloodstream and the vasculature that may be disrupted by different factors such as the presence of diseased states. Diseases like diabetes and obesity pose a great risk toward endothelial cell inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to endothelial cell dysfunction and thereby cardiovascular complications such as atherosclerosis. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases that are implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, and they have been identified to be important regulators of endothelial cell function. A handful of recent studies suggest that disbalance in the regulation of endothelial sirtuins, mainly sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), contributes to endothelial cell dysfunction. Herein, we summarize how SIRT1 and other sirtuins may contribute to endothelial cell function and how presence of diseased conditions may alter their expressions to cause endothelial dysfunction. Moreover, we discuss how the beneficial effects of exercise on the endothelium are dependent on SIRT1. These mainly include regulation of signaling pathways related to endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation and nitric oxide production, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathways, oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. Sirtuins as modulators of the adverse conditions in the endothelium hold a promising therapeutic potential for health conditions related to endothelial dysfunction and vascular ageing.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is the oxidative stress and inflammatory response that occurs when a tissue is reperfused following a prolonged period of ischemic injury. Growing evidence has demonstrated that microRNAs (miRs) are essential in the development of myocardial I/R injury. Salidroside, a phenylpropanoid glycoside isolated from a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, Rhodiola rosea, possesses multiple pharmacological functions and protects against myocardial I/R injury in vitro and in vivo. However, the role of miRs in the cardioprotective effects of salidroside against myocardial I/R injury has not been studied, to the best of our knowledge. In the present study, the role of miR21 in the underlying mechanism of salidroside-induced protection against oxidative stress and inflammatory injuries in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes was determined. The cell viability was assessed with an MTT assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, caspase-3 activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined by commercial kits. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was monitored by DCFH-DA. The miR-21 level was quantified by reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR. The interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels were measured by RT-qPCR and ELISA. The results showed that salidroside pretreatment significantly increased cell viability and decreased the release of LDH, accompanied by an increase in miR-21 expression in H/R-treated H9c2 cells and a miR-21 inhibitor reversed these effects. In addition, the miR-21 inhibitor also abrogated the inhibition of salidroside on H/R-induced increases in apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in H9c2 cells. Salidroside mitigated H/R-induced oxidative stress as illustrated by the downregulation of ROS generation and MDA level and increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, SOD and GSH-Px, all of which were abrogated in cells transfected with the miR-21 inhibitor. Salidroside induced a decrease in the expression and levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, which were prevented by the miR-21 inhibitor. Together, these results provide evidence of the beneficial effects of salidroside against myocardial I/R injury by reducing myocardial oxidative stress and inflammation which are enhanced by increasing miR-21 expression.

Abstract
Despite the decline in their proliferative potential, senescent cells display a high metabolic activity. Senescent cells have been shown to acquire a more glycolytic state even in presence of high oxygen levels, in a way similar to cancer cells. The diversion of pyruvate, the final product of glycolysis, away from oxidative phosphorylation results in an altered bioenergetic state and may occur as a response to the enhanced oxidative stress caused by the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. This metabolic shift leads to increased AMP/ATP and ADP/ATP ratios, to the subsequent AMPK activation, and ultimately to p53-mediated growth arrest. Mounting evidences suggest that metabolic reprogramming is critical to direct considerable amounts of energy toward specific activities related to the senescent state, including the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and the modulation of immune responses within senescent cell tissue microenvironment. Interestingly, despite the relative abundance of oxygen in the vascular compartment, healthy endothelial cells (ECs) produce most of their ATP content from the anaerobic conversion of glucose to lactate. Their high glycolytic rate further increases during senescence. Alterations in EC metabolism have been identified in age-related diseases (ARDs) associated with a dysfunctional vasculature, including atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In particular, higher production of reactive oxygen species deriving from a variety of enzymatic sources, including uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase and the electron transport chain, causes DNA damage and activates the NAD+-consuming enzymes polyADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1). These non-physiological mechanisms drive the impairment of the glycolytic flux and the diversion of glycolytic intermediates into many pathological pathways. Of note, accumulation of senescent ECs has been reported in the context of ARDs. Through their pro-oxidant, pro-inflammatory, vasoconstrictor, and prothrombotic activities, they negatively impact on vascular physiology, promoting both the onset and development of ARDs. Here, we review the current knowledge on the cellular senescence-related metabolic changes and their contribution to the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of ARDs, with a particular focus on ECs. Moreover, current and potential interventions aimed at modulating EC metabolism, in order to prevent or delay ARD onset, will be discussed.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease involving periodontal tissues. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) play an important role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue. However, senescent PDLCs have an impeded regenerative potential. Metformin has been reported to prevent senescence at both the cellular and individual levels. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of metformin on cellular senescence in human PDLCs (hPDLCs) under oxidative stress. hPDLCs were pretreated with metformin, followed by H2O2 exposure. The cell viability, oxidative damage, cellular senescence and osteogenic potential were detected. To inhibit autophagy, hPDLCs were treated with 3-methyladenine before metformin treatment. The present study revealed that H2O2 exposure inhibits proliferation, increased lysosomal β-galactosidase activity, augments reactive oxidative species (ROS) accumulation, elevates the oxidative damage, stimulates the expression of senescence-related genes and impedes the activity of the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Metformin pretreatment could partly reverse the detrimental influences of H2O2 on hPDLCs. Moreover, metformin could stimulate autophagy, whereas the inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyladenine reversed the anti-senescence effects of metformin on hPDLCs under oxidative stress. The present study manifested that metformin could alleviate oxidative stress-induced senescence via stimulating autophagy and could partially recover the osteogenic potential of hPDLCs, possibly providing a reference for the discovery of periodontal treatment from the perspective of antisenescence.

Abstract
Hydrogen possesses antioxidative effects and cures numerous types of ophthalmopathy, but the mechanism of hydrogen on ROS-induced retinal senescence remains elusive. In this study, retinal morphology revealed that hydrogen reduced the number and size of vitreous black deposits in Bruch's membrane in NaIO3 mice. Hydrogen also reduced ROS levels in the retina as assessed by DHE staining. Moreover, this result was consistent with the downregulation of expression of the oxidative stress hallmark OGG1. These findings suggested that hydrogen can reduce retinal oxidative stress induced by NaIO3, and this result was further verified using the antioxidant ALCAR. Mechanistic analysis revealed that hydrogen significantly inhibited the downregulation of Sirt3 expression, and this notion was confirmed using AICAR, which restores Sirt3 expression and activity. Moreover, hydrogen reduced the expression of p53, p21 and p16 and the number of blue-green precipitations in the retinas of NaIO3 mice as assessed by SA-β-gal staining. We also found that hydrogen decreased the expression of the DNA damage-related protein ATM, cyclinD1 and NF-κB but increased the expression of the DNA repair-related protein HMGB1, suggesting that hydrogen inhibits senescence in retinas of NaIO3 mice. Additionally, OCT examination revealed that hydrogen suppressed retinal high reflex formation significantly and prevented the retina from thinning. This result was supported by ERG assays that demonstrated that hydrogen prevented the reduction in a- and b-wave amplitude induced by NaIO3 in mice. Thus, our data suggest that hydrogen may inhibit retinal senescence by suppressing the downregulation of Sirt3 expression through reduced oxidative stress reactions.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs) are the innermost layer of blood vessels that play important roles in homeostasis and vascular function. However, recent evidence suggests that the onset of inflammation and the production of reactive oxygen species impair the function of ECs and are a main factor in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we investigated the effects of inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, and treatment on ECs in CVD patients. This review article is based on the material obtained from PubMed up to 2018. The key search terms used were "Cardiovascular Disease," "Endothelial Cell Dysfunction," "Inflammation," "Treatment," and "Oxidative Stress." The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reduced nitric oxide (NO) production by ECs impairs the function of blood vessels. Therefore, treatment of CVD patients leads to the expression of transcription factors activating anti-oxidant mechanisms and NO production. In contrast, NO production by inflammatory agents can cause ECs repair due to differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Therefore, identifying the molecular pathways leading to the differentiation of EPCs through mediation of factors induced by inflammatory factors can be effective in regenerative medicine for ECs repair.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial damage contributes to the initiation and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Salidroside can alleviate atherosclerosis and attenuate endothelial cell injury induced by ox-LDL. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/sirtuin (SIRT)1 pathway in the protection of salidroside against ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injuries. The results revealed that salidroside reverses ox-LDL-induced HUVECs injury as demonstrated by the upregulation of cell viability and downregulation of LDH release. In addition, salidroside increased the expression of the SIRT1 protein in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. Next, it was demonstrated that SIRT1 knockdown induced by transfection with small interfering (si)RNA targeting SIRT1 (siSRT1) abolished the protection of salidroside against ox-LDL-induced HUVECs injuries. This was illustrated by a decrease in cell viability and an increase in LDH release, caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate. Furthermore, salidroside mitigated ox-LDL-induced reactive oxygen species production, upregulated malondialdehyde content and NADPH oxidase 2 expression and decreased superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, while these effects were also reversed by siSIRT1 transfection. In addition, it was demonstrated that salidroside suppressed ox-LDL-induced mitochondrial dysfunction as demonstrated by the increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and decreases in cytochrome c expression, and Bax/Bcl-2 reductions. However, these effects were eliminated by SIRT1 knockdown. Finally, it was demonstrated that salidroside significantly upregulated the phosphorylated-AMPK expression in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs and AMPK knockdown induced by transfection with AMPK siRNA (siAMPK) leads to elimination of the salidroside-induced increase in cell viability and the decrease in LDH release. Notably, siAMPK transfection further decreased the expression of SIRT1. In conclusion, these results suggested that salidroside protects HUVECs against ox-LDL injury through inhibiting oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial dysfunction, which were dependent on activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

Abstract
AIMS Salidroside is a major functional component of Rhodiola rosea L. with a lot of pharmacological effects, including anti-tumor. The present work aimed to explore whether Salidroside could also exhibit anti-tumor functions in Wilms' tumor. MAIN METHODS WIT49 and RM1 cells were treated by various doses of Salidroside. CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry detection, colony formation assay, Transwell assay, RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis were conducted to measure WIT49 and RM1 cells proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. The expression changes of miR-891b in response to Salidroside treatment were tested by RT-qPCR. Rescue assays were performed to test whether miR-891b was a downstream effector of Salidroside. Finally, the involvement of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and NF-κB signaling pathways was studied. KEY FINDINGS Salidroside with concentration of 80 μM significantly reduced WIT49 and RM1 cells viability, survival capacity, migration and invasion, and significantly induced apoptosis. Meanwhile, down-regulation of Cyclin D1, MMP-2 and Vimentin, up-regulations of p53 and p21, as well as cleavage of caspase-3 and -9 were observed in Salidroside-treated cell. miR-891b was down-regulated by Salidroside. And Salidroside did not suppress WIT49 and RM1 cells growth, migration and invasion when miR-891b was overexpressed. Also, the deactivation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and NF-κB pathways induced by Salidroside was reversed by miR-891b overexpression. SIGNIFICANCE Salidroside inhibits Wilms' tumor cells growth, migration and invasion via down-regulating miR-891b, which leads to the deactivation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Bladder dysfunction is associated with fibrosis-mediated aging, but the corresponding mechanism remains to be elucidated. Activation of the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is related to chronic diseases associated with aging, including organ fibrosis. The present study aimed to explore the role of NLRP3/interleukin 1β in aging-associated bladder dysfunction. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following two groups (n=10 rats/group): 2-month-old group (young group) and 24-month-old group (old group). Urodynamics were performed to assess the bladder function of the rats. The histological alterations were identified using Masson's trichrome staining. The protein expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-3, mitochondrial (SIRT3) were detected by western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry was used to examine a senescence marker (p21) and the NLRP3 inflammasome in the bladder. The localization of the key molecule Caspase1 was determined using immunofluorescence. The voiding time was longer in the old group compared with the young group. The expression levels of SIRT3 were reduced in the bladders of the old group, while those of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the senescence marker were significantly higher in the bladders of the old group compared with the young group. Increased collagen deposition leads to chronic bladder fibrosis with increased NLRP3. In the histological examination, the bladders of the old group displayed increased collagen deposition, urothelial thinning and detrusor shrinkage compared with the young group. Tissue fibrosis and urothelial alterations are the principal causes of bladder dysfunction during aging. Downregulated SIRT3 and upregulated expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome are involved in the degradation of aging bladders. Inflamm-aging is a novel mechanism underlying bladder dysfunction.
