Abstract
Seed vigor is a crucial indicator of seed quality. Variations in seed vigor are closely associated with seed properties and storage conditions. The vigor of mature seeds progressively declines during storage, which is called seed deterioration or aging. Seed aging induces a cascade of cellular damage, including impaired subcellular structures and macromolecules, such as lipids, proteins, and DNA. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signaling molecules during seed aging causing oxidative damage and triggering programmed cell death (PCD). Mitochondria are the main site of ROS production and change morphology and function before other organelles during aging. The roles of other small redox-active molecules in regulating cell and seed vigor, such as nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), were identified later. ROS, NO, and H2S typically regulate protein function through post-translational modifications (PTMs), including carbonylation, S-glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, and S-sulfhydration. These signaling molecules as well as the PTMs they induce interact to regulate cell fate and seed vigor. This review was conducted to describe the physiological changes and underlying molecular mechanisms that in seed aging and provides a comprehensive view of how ROS, NO, and H2S affect cell death and seed vigor.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease and stroke, comprise the number one cause of mortality worldwide. A major contributor to CVD is atherosclerosis, which is a low-grade inflammatory disease of vasculature that involves a pathological build-up of plaque within the arterial walls. Studies have shown that regulation of gene expression via transcription factors and epigenetic mechanisms play a fundamental role in transcriptomic changes linked to the development of atherosclerosis. Chromatin remodeling is a reversible phenomenon and studies have supported the clinical application of chromatin-modifying agents for the prevention and treatment of CVD. In addition, pre-clinical studies have identified multiple transcription factors as potential therapeutic targets in combating atherosclerotic CVD. Although interaction between transcription factors and epigenetic mechanisms facilitate gene regulation, a limited number of studies appreciate this crosstalk in the context of CVD. Here, we reviewed this gene regulatory mechanism underappreciated in atherosclerosis, which will highlight the mechanisms underlying novel therapeutics targeting epigenetic modifiers and transcription factors in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated condition that affects the digestive system and includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the exact etiology of IBD remains uncertain, dysfunctional immunoregulation of the gut is believed to be the main culprit. Amongst the immunoregulatory factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), components of the oxidative stress event, are produced at abnormally high levels in IBD. Their destructive effects may contribute to the disease's initiation and propagation, as they damage the gut lining and activate inflammatory signaling pathways, further exacerbating the inflammation. Oxidative stress markers, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and serum-free thiols (R-SH), can be measured in the blood and stool of patients with IBD. These markers are elevated in patients with IBD, and their levels correlate with the severity of the disease. Thus, oxidative stress markers can be used not only in IBD diagnosis but also in monitoring the response to treatment. It can also be targeted in IBD treatment through the use of antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine. In this review, we summarize the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of IBD, its diagnostic targets, and the potential application of antioxidant therapies to manage and treat IBD.

Abstract
Pregnant women are a special group that is sensitive to adverse external stimuli, causing metabolic abnormalities and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Microplastics (MPs), an environmental pollutant widely used in various fields, can induce a variety of toxic responses in mammals. Recent studies verified an association between MPs and metabolic disorders. Our research built a gestational mouse model in which polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) of 1 μm size were consumed at concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/L during pregnancy. Results indicated that PS-MPs induced placental malfunction and fetal growth retardation. Significant glucose disorders, decreased liver function, hepatic inflammation, and oxidative stress were also observed after PS-MPs exposure. The hepatic SIRT1/IRS1/PI3K pathway was inhibited in the 10 mg/L PS-MPs exposure group. Our study found that PS-MPs activated inflammatory response and oxidative stress by increasing hepatic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that inhibited the hepatic SIRT1/IRS1/PI3K pathway, ultimately leading to insulin resistance, glucose metabolism disorders, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study provides a basis for preventing environment-related gestational diabetes and concomitant adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in heightened vulnerability to fractures due to increased bone fragility. This condition primarily arises from an imbalance between the processes of bone resorption and formation. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported to potentially constitute one of the most crucial mechanisms influencing the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In essence, mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate equilibrium between bone formation and resorption, thereby ensuring optimal skeletal health. Nevertheless, disruption of this delicate balance can arise as a consequence of mitochondrial dysfunction. In dysfunctional mitochondria, the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) becomes uncoupled, resulting in reduced ATP synthesis and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reinforcement of mitochondrial dysfunction is further exacerbated by the accumulation of aberrant mitochondria. In this review, we investigated and analyzed the correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction, encompassing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) impairment, mitophagy dysregulation, defects in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, as well as excessive ROS accumulation, with regards to OP (Figure 1). Furthermore, we explore prospective strategies currently available for modulating mitochondria to ameliorate osteoporosis. Undoubtedly, certain therapeutic strategies still require further investigation to ensure their safety and efficacy as clinical treatments. However, from a mitochondrial perspective, the potential for establishing effective and safe therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis appears promising.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by persistent fear responses and altered neurotransmitter functioning due to traumatic experiences. Stress predominantly affects glutamate, a neurotransmitter crucial for synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Activation of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDAR) can trigger the formation of a complex comprising postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD95), the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), and its adaptor protein (NOS1AP). This complex is pivotal in activating nNOS and nitric oxide (NO) production, which, in turn, activates downstream pathways that modulate neuronal signaling, including synaptic plasticity/transmission, inflammation, and cell death. The involvement of nNOS and NOS1AP in the susceptibility of PTSD and its comorbidities has been widely shown. Therefore, understanding the interplay between stress, fear, and NO is essential for comprehending the maintenance and progression of PTSD, since NO is involved in fear acquisition and extinction processes. Moreover, NO induces post-translational modifications (PTMs), including S-nitrosylation and nitration, which alter protein function and structure for intracellular signaling. Although evidence suggests that NO influences synaptic plasticity and memory processing, the specific role of PTMs in the pathophysiology of PTSD remains unclear. This review highlights pathways modulated by NO that could be relevant to stress and PTSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter, plays a critical role in protecting against heart failure. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a highly conserved histone deacetylase that has a protective role in the treatment of heart failure by regulating the deacetylation of some functional proteins. This study investigates the interaction between SIRT1 and H2S in heart failure and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS Using endogenous H2S-generating enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) knockout mice, we found that CSE deficiency aggravated isoprenaline-induced cardiac injury. Treatment with H2S attenuated atrial natriuretic peptide level, brain natriuretic peptide level, improved cardiac function. Moreover, H2S treatment potentiated myocardial SIRT1 expression. Silencing CSE abolished intracellular SIRT1 expression. Furthermore, CSE/ H2S S-sulfhydrated SIRT1 at its zinc finger domains and augmented its zinc ion binding activity to stabilize the alpha-helix structure. DISCUSSION In conclusion, these results uncover that a novel mechanism that CSE/H2S S-sulfhydrated SIRT1 to prevent heart dysfunction through modulating its activity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous radical, governs a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including cancer, pro-inflammatory signalling, and vasodilation. The family of nitric oxide synthases (NOS), which comprises the constitutive forms, nNOS and eNOS, and the inducible form, iNOS, produces NO enzymatically. Additionally, NO can be generated non-enzymatically from the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. The anti- and pro-oxidant properties of NO and its functional dualism in cancer is due to its highly reactive nature. Numerous malignancies have NOS expression, which interferes with the tumour microenvironment to modulate the tumour's growth in both favourable and unfavourable ways. NO regulates a number of mechanisms in the tumour microenvironment, including metabolism, cell cycle, DNA repair, angiogenesis, and apoptosis/necrosis, depending on its concentration and spatiotemporal profile. This review focuses on the bi-modal impact of nitric oxide on the alteration of a few cancer hallmarks.

Abstract
Parthanatos is a type of programmed cell death dependent on hyper-activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1). SIRT1 is a highly conserved nuclear deacetylase and often acts as an inhibitor of parthanatos by deacetylation of PARP1. Our previous study showed that deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), a natural compound isolated from the traditional herb Anthriscus sylvestris, triggered glioma cell death via parthanatos. In this study, we investigated the role of SIRT1 in DPT-induced human glioma cell parthanatos. We showed that DPT (450 nmol/L) activated both PARP1 and SIRT1, and induced parthanatos in U87 and U251 glioma cells. Activation of SIRT1 with SRT2183 (10 μmol/L) enhanced, while inhibition of SIRT1 with EX527 (200 μmol/L) or knockdown of SIRT1 attenuated DPT-induced PARP1 activation and glioma cell death. We demonstrated that DPT (450 nmol/L) significantly decreased intracellular NAD+ levels in U87 and U251 cells. Further decrease of NAD+ levels with FK866 (100 μmol/L) aggravated, but supplement of NAD+ (0.5, 2 mmol/L) attenuated DPT-induced PARP1 activation. We found that NAD+ depletion enhanced PARP1 activation via two ways: one was aggravating ROS-dependent DNA DSBs by upregulation of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2); the other was reinforcing PARP1 acetylation via increase of N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) expression. We found that SIRT1 activity was improved when being phosphorylated by JNK at Ser27, the activated SIRT1 in reverse aggravated JNK activation via upregulating ROS-related ASK1 signaling, thus forming a positive feedback between JNK and SIRT1. Taken together, SIRT1 activated by JNK contributed to DPT-induced human glioma cell parthanatos via initiation of NAD+ depletion-dependent upregulation of NOX2 and NAT10.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. An early diagnosis decreases subsequent severe complications such as wall remodeling or heart failure and improves treatments and interventions. Novel therapeutic targets have been recognized and, together with the development of direct and indirect epidrugs, the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) yields great expectancy. ncRNAs are a group of RNAs not translated into a product and, among them, microRNAs (miRNAs) are the most investigated subgroup since they are involved in several pathological processes related to MI and post-MI phases such as inflammation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. These processes and pathways are finely tuned by miRNAs via complex mechanisms. We are at the beginning of the investigation and the main paths are still underexplored. In this review, we provide a comprehensive discussion of the recent findings on epigenetic changes involved in the first phases after MI as well as on the role of the several miRNAs. We focused on miRNAs function and on their relationship with key molecules and cells involved in healing processes after an ischemic accident, while also giving insight into the discrepancy between males and females in the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT) are a class of histone deacetylases that regulate important metabolic pathways and play a role in several disease processes. Of the seven mammalian homologs currently identified, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the best understood and most studied. It has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. As such, it has been further investigated as a therapeutic target in the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). SIRT1 deacetylates histones such as H1 lysine 26, H3 lysine 9, H3 lysine 56, and H4 lysine 16 to regulate chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. The homolog has also been observed to express contradictory responses to tumor suppression and tumor promotion. Studies have shown that SIRT1 may have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the effects of NF-κB, as well as stimulating upregulation of autophagy. The SIRT1 activators resveratrol and cilostazol have been shown to improve Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) scores in AD patients. In this review, we aim to explore the various roles of SIRT1 with regard to neuroprotection and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Sepsis is characterized by uncontrolled inflammatory response and altered polarization of macrophages at the early phase. Akt is known to drive macrophage inflammatory response. However, how macrophage inflammatory response is fine-tuned by Akt is poorly understood. Here, we found that Lys14 and Lys20 of Akt is deacetylated by the histone deacetylase SIRT1 during macrophage activation to suppress macrophages inflammatory response. Mechanistically, SIRT1 promotes Akt deacetylation to inhibit the activation of NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Loss of SIRT1 facilitates Akt acetylation and thus promotes inflammatory cytokines in mouse macrophages, potentially worsen the progression of sepsis in mice. By contrast, the upregulation of SIRT1 in macrophages further contributes to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines via Akt activation in sepsis. Taken together, our findings establish Akt deacetylation as an essential negative regulatory mechanism that curtails M1 polarization.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle makes up 30-40% of the total body mass. It is of great significance in maintaining digestion, inhaling and exhaling, sustaining body posture, exercising, protecting joints and many other aspects. Moreover, muscle is also an important metabolic organ that helps to maintain the balance of sugar and fat. Defective skeletal muscle function not only limits the daily activities of the elderly but also increases the risk of disability, hospitalization and death, placing a huge burden on society and the healthcare system. Sarcopenia is a progressive decline in muscle mass, muscle strength and muscle function with age caused by environmental and genetic factors, such as the abnormal regulation of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). To date, many studies have shown that numerous PTMs, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, glycosylation, glycation, methylation, S-nitrosylation, carbonylation and S-glutathionylation, are involved in the regulation of muscle health and diseases. This article systematically summarizes the post-translational regulation of muscle growth and muscle atrophy and helps to understand the pathophysiology of muscle aging and develop effective strategies for diagnosing, preventing and treating sarcopenia.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030674.

Abstract
Although circadian biorhythms of mitochondria and cells are highly conserved and crucial for the well-being of complex animals, there is a paucity of studies on the reciprocal interactions between oxidative stress, redox modifications, metabolism, thermoregulation, and other major oscillatory physiological processes. To address this limitation, we hypothesize that circadian/ultradian interaction of the redoxome, bioenergetics, and temperature signaling strongly determine the differential activities of the sleep–wake cycling of mammalians and birds. Posttranslational modifications of proteins by reversible cysteine oxoforms, S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation are shown to play a major role in regulating mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, protein activity, respiration, and metabolomics. Nuclear DNA repair and cellular protein synthesis are maximized during the wake phase, whereas the redoxome is restored and mitochondrial remodeling is maximized during sleep. Hence, our analysis reveals that wakefulness is more protective and restorative to the nucleus (nucleorestorative), whereas sleep is more protective and restorative to mitochondria (mitorestorative). The “redox–bioenergetics–temperature and differential mitochondrial–nuclear regulatory hypothesis” adds to the understanding of mitochondrial respiratory uncoupling, substrate cycling control and hibernation. Similarly, this hypothesis explains how the oscillatory redox–bioenergetics–temperature–regulated sleep–wake states, when perturbed by mitochondrial interactome disturbances, influence the pathogenesis of aging, cancer, spaceflight health effects, sudden infant death syndrome, and diseases of the metabolism and nervous system.

Targeting high glucose-induced epigenetic modifications at cardiac level: the role of SGLT2 and SGLT2 inhibitors. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLT) inhibitors (SGLT2i) showed many beneficial effects at the cardiovascular level. Several mechanisms of action have been identified. However, no data on their capability to act via epigenetic mechanisms were reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the ability of SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) to induce protective effects at the cardiovascular level by acting on DNA methylation. METHODS To better clarify this issue, the effects of empagliflozin (EMPA) on hyperglycemia-induced epigenetic modifications were evaluated in human ventricular cardiac myoblasts AC16 exposed to hyperglycemia for 7 days. Therefore, the effects of EMPA on DNA methylation of NF-κB, SOD2, and IL-6 genes in AC16 exposed to high glucose were analyzed by pyrosequencing-based methylation analysis. Modifications of gene expression and DNA methylation of NF-κB and SOD2 were confirmed in response to a transient SGLT2 gene silencing in the same cellular model. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by quantitative PCR was performed to evaluate the occupancy of TET2 across the investigated regions of NF-κB and SOD2 promoters. RESULTS Seven days of high glucose treatment induced significant demethylation in the promoter regions of NF-kB and SOD2 with a consequent high level in mRNA expression of both genes. The observed DNA demethylation was mediated by increased TET2 expression and binding to the CpGs island in the promoter regions of analyzed genes. Indeed, EMPA prevented the HG-induced demethylation changes by reducing TET2 binding to the investigated promoter region and counteracted the altered gene expression. The transient SGLT2 gene silencing prevented the DNA demethylation observed in promoter regions, thus suggesting a role of SGLT2 as a potential target of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect of EMPA in cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, our results demonstrated that EMPA, mainly acting on SGLT2, prevented DNA methylation changes induced by high glucose and provided evidence of a new mechanism by which SGLT2i can exert cardio-beneficial effects.

Abstract
Aging involves the time-dependent deterioration of physiological functions attributed to various intracellular and extracellular factors. Cellular senescence is akin to aging and involves alteration in redox homeostasis. This is primarily marked by increased reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), inflammatory gene expression, and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, all hallmarks of aging. It is proposed that gasotransmitters which include hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitric oxide (NO), may affect redox homeostasis during senescence. H2S has been independently shown to induce DNA damage and suppress oxidative stress. While an increase in NO levels during aging is well established, the role of H2S has remained controversial. To understand the role of H2S during aging, we evaluated H2S homeostasis in non-senescent and senescent cells, using a combination of direct measurements with a fluorescent reporter dye (WSP-5) and protein sulfhydration analysis. The free intracellular H2S and total protein sulfhydration levels are high during senescence, concomitant to cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE) expression induction. Using lentiviral shRNA-mediated expression knockdown, we identified that H2S contributed by CSE alters global gene expression, which regulates key inflammatory processes during cellular senescence. We propose that H2S decreases inflammation during cellular senescence by reducing phosphorylation of IκBα and the p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). H2S was also found to reduce NO levels, a significant source of nitrosative stress during cellular senescence. Overall, we establish H2S as a key gasotransmitter molecule that regulates inflammatory phenotype and nitrosative stress during cellular senescence.

Abstract
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). TB treatment is based on the administration of three major antibiotics: isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide. However, multi-drug resistant (MDR) Mtb strains are increasing around the world, thus, allowing TB to spread around the world. The stringent response is demonstrated by Mtb strains in order to survive under hostile circumstances, even including exposure to antibiotics. The stringent response is mediated by alarmones, which regulate bacterial replication, transcription and translation. Moreover, the Mtb cell wall contributes to the mechanism of antibiotic resistance along with efflux pump activation and biofilm formation. Immunity over the course of TB is managed by M1-macrophages and M2-macrophages, which regulate the immune response against Mtb infection, with the former exerting inflammatory reactions and the latter promoting an anti-inflammatory profile. T helper 1 cells via secretion of interferon (IFN)-gamma, play a protective role in the course of TB, while T regulatory cells secreting interleukin 10, are anti-inflammatory. Alternative therapeutic options against TB require further discussion. In view of the increasing number of MDR Mtb strains, attempts to replace antibiotics with natural and biological products have been object of intensive investigation. Therefore, in this review the anti-Mtb effects exerted by probiotics, polyphenols, antimicrobial peptides and IFN-gamma will be discussed. All the above cited compounds are endowed either with direct antibacterial activity or with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating characteristics.

Farnesysltransferase Inhibitor Prevents Burn Injury-Induced Metabolome Changes in Muscle. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12090800.

Abstract
Burn injury remains a significant public health issue worldwide. Metabolic derangements are a major complication of burn injury and negatively affect the clinical outcomes of severely burned patients. These metabolic aberrations include muscle wasting, hypermetabolism, hyperglycemia, hyperlactatemia, insulin resistance, and mitochondrial dysfunction. However, little is known about the impact of burn injury on the metabolome profile in skeletal muscle. We have previously shown that farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI) reverses burn injury-induced insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the Warburg effect in mouse skeletal muscle. To evaluate metabolome composition, targeted quantitative analysis was performed using capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry in mouse skeletal muscle. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and hierarchical cluster analysis demonstrated that burn injury induced a global change in metabolome composition. FTI treatment almost completely prevented burn injury-induced alterations in metabolite levels. Pathway analysis revealed that the pathways most affected by burn injury were purine, glutathione, β-alanine, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. Burn injury induced a suppressed oxidized to reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) ratio as well as oxidative stress and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion, all of which were reversed by FTI. Moreover, our data raise the possibility that burn injury may lead to increased glutaminolysis and reductive carboxylation in mouse skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Epigenetics is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. Genome-wide linkage and association analyses and candidate gene approaches illustrate the multigenic complexity of cardiovascular disease. Several epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNA, which are of importance for cardiovascular disease development and regression. Targeting epigenetic key enzymes, especially the DNA methyltransferases, histone methyltransferases, histone acetylases, histone deacetylases and their regulated target genes, could represent an attractive new route for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we summarize the knowledge on epigenetic history and essential regulatory mechanisms in cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the preclinical studies and drugs that are targeted these epigenetic key enzymes for cardiovascular diseases therapy. Finally, we conclude the clinical trials that are going to target some of these processes.

Abstract
One of the main causes of low back pain (LBP) and degenerative musculoskeletal disorders is intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Inflammation-associated senescence of Human nucleus pulposus cells (HNPCs) plays an essential function in the disease progression of IVDD. Omentin-1 is an adipokine that has been recently reported to have anti-inflammatory potential. In our research, IL-1β was used to simulate the inflammatory environment in the IVDD. We investigated in vitro the effects of Omentin-1 on HNPCs, including the components of senescence, cell cycle and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. The results showed that the addition of Omentin-1 improved IL-1β-induced senescence in HNPCs. G1 phase cell cycle arrest and reduced ECM synthesis in HNPCs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the effect of Omentin-1 in reducing senescence of HNPCs is dependent on SIRT1. These findings suggest that Omentin-1 plays an important function in protecting HNPCs against senescence and has the potential for IVDD gene target therapy.

Abstract
Fructose metabolism and hyperuricemia have been shown to drive insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hepatic steatosis, hypertension, inflammation, and innate immune reactivity in experimental studies. We suggest that these adverse effects are at least in part the result of suppressed activity of sirtuins, particularly Sirtuin1. Deficiency of sirtuin deacetylations is a consequence of reduced bioavailability of its cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Uric acid-induced inflammation and oxidative stress consume NAD+ and activation of the polyol pathway of fructose and uric acid synthesis also reduces the NAD+-to-NADH ratio. Variability in the compensatory regeneration of NAD+ could result in variable recovery of sirtuin activity that may explain the inconsistent benefits of treatments directed to reduce uric acid in clinical trials. Here, we review the pathogenesis of the metabolic dysregulation driven by hyperuricemia and their potential relationship with sirtuin deficiency. In addition, we discuss therapeutic options directed to increase NAD+ and sirtuins activity that may improve the adverse effects resulting from fructose and uric acid synthesis.

Relationship between DNA Methylation Profiles and Active Tuberculosis Development from Latent Infection: a Pilot Study in Nested Case-Control Design. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0058622.

Abstract
Individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) were regarded as an enormous reservoir of cases with active tuberculosis (TB). To strengthen LTBI management, biomarkers and tools are urgently required for identifying and ruling out active TB in a fast and effective way. Based on an open-label randomized controlled trial aiming to explore short-course LTBI treatment regimens, DNA methylation profiles were retrospectively detected to explore potential biomarkers, which could discriminate active TB from LTBI. The Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip array was used to analyze genomewide DNA methylation levels for 15 persons with LTBI who later developed active TB and for 15 LTBI controls who stayed healthy. The differentially methylated CpGs (dmCpGs) located in the promoter regions pre- and post-TB diagnosis were selected (P < 0.05 and |Δβ|>0.10) and evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Eight dmCpGs were identified to be associated with TB occurrence; six were located in hypermethylated genes (cg02493602, cg02206980, cg02214623, cg12159502, cg14593639, and cg25764570), and two were located in hypomethylated genes (cg02781074 and cg12321798). ROC analysis indicated that the area under curve (AUC) of these eight dmCpGs ranged from 0.72 to 0.84. Given 90% sensitivity, the specificity was highest for cg14593639 at 66.67%. The combination analysis indicated that “cg02206980 + cg02214623 + cg12159502 + cg12321798” showed the best performance, with an AUC of 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72, 0.97), a sensitivity of 93.33% (95% CI: 70.18%, 99.66%), and a specificity of 86.67% (95% CI: 62.12%, 97.63%). Our preliminary results indicate the potential value of the DNA methylation level as a diagnostic biomarker for discriminating active disease in LTBI testing. This finding requires further verification in independent populations with large sample sizes. IMPORTANCE Approximately a quarter of the world population had been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and about 5 to 10% of these individuals might develop active disease in their lifetimes. As a critical component of the “end TB strategies,” preventive treatment was shown to protect 60 to 90% of high-risk LTBIs from developing active disease. Developing new TB screening tools based on blood-based biomarkers, which could identify and rule out active TB from LTBI, are prerequisite before initialing intervention. We tried to explore potential DNA methylation diagnostic biomarkers through retrospectively detected DNA methylation profiles pre- and post-TB diagnosis. Eight dmCpGs were identified, and the combination of “cg02206980 + cg02214623 + cg12159502 + cg12321798” showed a sensitivity of 93.33% and a specificity of 86.67%. The preliminary results provided new insight into detecting the DNA methylation level as a potential tool to distinguish TB from LTBI.

Abstract
SIRT-1 (silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog-1) is a protein found in neuronal nuclei, microglia, and astrocyte cells of the brain. It is sometimes referred to as NAD + -dependent deacetylase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). The activation of sirtuins (SIRT-1-7) has been shown to protect against a wide range of disorders, including neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. SIRT-1 has gained considerable interest from these families because of its early link to long-life expansion and calorie restriction involvement. SIRT-1 is necessary for gene silencing, cell cycle regulation, fat and glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, ageing, and memory formation. In this review, we investigate the role of SIRT-1 downregulation in the progression of bipolar disorder (BD) and neurological abnormalities, as well as related neurological alterations such as genetic dysfunction, neurotransmitter imbalance, oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. BD is a psychiatric disease distinguished by extreme mood fluctuations that range from depressive lows to manic highs. BD is a complicated disorder with numerous clinical signs and neurocomplications that produce significant behavioural problems. SIRT-1 deficiency in the brain has been demonstrated to affect the activity of its transcription factors and molecular changes, including genetic defects. SIRT-1 is now being studied as a potential therapeutic target for a range of brain disorders. A recent study also found that activating SIRT-1 signalling performs a protective effect in avoiding depression and mania-like behaviours. Furthermore, this review investigates the potential mechanisms by which SIRT-1 regulates neuronal transmission and neurogenesis. As a result of our review, we revealed that SIRT-1 activators have neuroprotective potential in BD and related neurological dysfunctions.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a crucial role in microbially induced gastric epithelial injury, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we aimed to assess the impacts of puerarin on LPS-induced inflammatory damage and the involvement of the AMPK/SIRT1/NLRP3 signaling pathways in this process in GES-1 cells. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were determined using CCK-8 and lactate dehydrogenase assay kits. Apoptosis was measured using annexin staining followed by flow cytometry. Cytokine levels were detected by ELISA, and protein expression was analyzed using western blotting. Protein overexpression was achieved by transfection with relevant pcDNA3.1 vectors, and protein knockdown was achieved by transfection with relevant siRNAs. Puerarin ameliorated LPS-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, while repressing LPS-stimulated NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in GES-1 cells, as evidenced by significantly decreased expression of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18. NLRP3 knockdown efficiently repressed LPS-induced inflammatory injury in GES-1 cells. Puerarin activated the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in LPS-treated GES-1 cells, and knockdown of both AMPK and SIRT1 reversed the protective effects of puerarin against LPS-induced inflammatory damage. AMPK overexpression strengthened, while AMPK knockdown weakened, the ability of puerarin to inhibit NLRP3-mediated inflammatory injury in LPS-treated GES-1 cells. Our findings suggest that puerarin may ameliorate LPS-induced inflammatory injury in GES-1 cells by activating the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway and thereby repressing NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
The silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein, a highly conserved NAD+-dependent deacetylase belonging to the sirtuin family, is a post-translational regulator that plays a role in modulating inflammation. SIRT1 affects multiple biological processes by deacetylating a variety of proteins including histones and non-histone proteins. Recent studies have revealed intimate links between SIRT1 and inflammation, while alterations to SIRT1 expression and activity have been linked to inflammatory diseases. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms that regulate SIRT1 expression, including upstream activators and suppressors that operate on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. We also summarize factors that influence SIRT1 activity including the NAD+/NADH ratio, SIRT1 binding partners, and post-translational modifications. Furthermore, we underscore the role of SIRT1 in the development of inflammation by commenting on the proteins that are targeted for deacetylation by SIRT1. Finally, we highlight the potential for SIRT1-based therapeutics for inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Insulin, which is released by pancreatic islet β-cells in response to elevated levels of glucose in the blood, is a critical regulator of metabolism. Insulin triggers the uptake of glucose and fatty acids into the liver, adipose tissue and muscle, and promotes the storage of these nutrients in the form of glycogen and lipids. Dysregulation of insulin synthesis, secretion, transport, degradation or signal transduction all cause failure to take up and store nutrients, resulting in type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic dysfunction. In this Review, we make the case that insulin signalling is intimately coupled to protein S-nitrosylation, in which nitric oxide groups are conjugated to cysteine thiols to form S-nitrosothiols, within effectors of insulin action. We discuss the role of S-nitrosylation in the life cycle of insulin, from its synthesis and secretion in pancreatic β-cells, to its signalling and degradation in target tissues. Finally, we consider how aberrant S-nitrosylation contributes to metabolic diseases, including the roles of human genetic mutations and cellular events that alter S-nitrosylation of insulin-regulating proteins. Given the growing influence of S-nitrosylation in cellular metabolism, the field of metabolic signalling could benefit from renewed focus on S-nitrosylation in type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin-related disorders.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7), a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent enzymes, are key regulators of life span and metabolism. In addition to acting as deacetylates, some sirtuins have the properties of deacylase, decrotonylase, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosyltransferase, lipoamidase, desuccinylase, demalonylase, deglutarylase, and demyristolyase. Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs early on and acts causally in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Huntington's disease (HD). Sirtuins are implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial quality control, which is highly associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. There is growing evidence indicating that sirtuins are promising and well-documented molecular targets for the treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegenerative disorders by regulating mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamics, and mitochondrial unfolded protein responses (mtUPR). Therefore, elucidation of the molecular etiology of sirtuin-mediated mitochondrial quality control points to new prospects for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying sirtuin-mediated mitochondrial quality control remain obscure. In this review, we update and summarize the current understanding of the structure, function, and regulation of sirtuins with an emphasis on the cumulative and putative effects of sirtuins on mitochondrial biology and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly their roles in mitochondrial quality control. In addition, we outline the potential therapeutic applications for neurodegenerative diseases of targeting sirtuin-mediated mitochondrial quality control through exercise training, calorie restriction, and sirtuin modulators in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible signaling molecule produced by three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase, which release NO during the metabolism of the amino acid arginine. NO participates in pathophysiological responses of many different tissues, inducing concentration-dependent effect. Indeed, while low NO levels generally have protective effects, higher NO concentrations induce cytotoxic/cytostatic actions. In recent years, evidences have been accumulated unveiling S-nitrosylation as a major NO-dependent post-translational mechanism ruling gene expression. S-nitrosylation is a reversible, highly regulated phenomenon in which NO reacts with one or few specific cysteine residues of target proteins generating S-nitrosothiols. By inducing this chemical modification, NO might exert epigenetic regulation through direct effects on both DNA and histones as well as through indirect actions affecting the functions of transcription factors and transcriptional co-regulators. In this light, S-nitrosylation may also impact on cancer cell gene expression programs. Indeed, it affects different cell pathways and functions ranging from the impairment of DNA damage repair to the modulation of the activity of signal transduction molecules, oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and chromatin remodelers. Nitrosylation is therefore a versatile tool by which NO might control gene expression programs in health and disease.

Abstract
Increased sirtuin deacylase activity is correlated with increased lifespan and healthspan in eukaryotes. Conversely, decreased sirtuin deacylase activity is correlated with increased susceptibility to aging-related diseases. However, the mechanisms leading to decreased sirtuin activity during aging are poorly understood. Recent work has shown that oxidative post-translational modification by reactive oxygen (ROS) or nitrogen (RNS) species results in inhibition of sirtuin deacylase activity through cysteine nitrosation, glutathionylation, sulfenylation, and sulfhydration as well as tyrosine nitration. The prevalence of ROS/RNS (e.g., nitric oxide, S-nitrosoglutathione, hydrogen peroxide, oxidized glutathione, and peroxynitrite) is increased during inflammation and as a result of electron transport chain dysfunction. With age, cellular production of ROS/RNS increases; thus, cellular oxidants may serve as a causal link between loss of sirtuin activity and aging-related disease development. Therefore, the prevention of inhibitory oxidative modification may represent a novel means to increase sirtuin activity during aging. In this review, we explore the role of cellular oxidants in inhibiting individual sirtuin human isoform deacylase activity and clarify the relevance of ROS/RNS as regulatory molecules of sirtuin deacylase activity in the context of health and disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family of longevity regulators, possesses potent activities preventing vascular aging. The expression and function of SIRT1 in endothelial cells are downregulated with age, in turn causing early vascular aging and predisposing various vascular abnormalities. Overexpression of SIRT1 in the vascular endothelium prevents aging-associated endothelial dysfunction and senescence, thus the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis. Numerous efforts have been directed to increase SIRT1 signaling as a potential strategy for different aging-associated diseases. However, the complex mechanisms underlying the regulation of SIRT1 have posed a significant challenge toward the design of specific and effective therapeutics. This review aimed to provide a summary on the regulation and function of SIRT1 in the vascular endothelium and to discuss the different approaches targeting this molecule for the prevention and treatment of age-related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenic activity is tightly regulated by cellular redox status, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Protein S-nitrosylation, the nitric-oxide-mediated cysteine thiol protein modification, plays important roles in cellular redox regulation. Here we show that diet-induced obesity (DIO) and acute cold exposure elevate BAT protein S-nitrosylation, including UCP1. This thermogenic-induced nitric oxide bioactivity is regulated by S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR; alcohol dehydrogenase 5 [ADH5]), a denitrosylase that balances the intracellular nitroso-redox status. Loss of ADH5 in BAT impairs cold-induced UCP1-dependent thermogenesis and worsens obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Adh5 expression is induced by the transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), and administration of an HSF1 activator to BAT of DIO mice increases Adh5 expression and significantly improves UCP1-mediated respiration. Together, these data indicate that ADH5 controls BAT nitroso-redox homeostasis to regulate adipose thermogenesis, which may be therapeutically targeted to improve metabolic health.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2), an evolutionarily conserved GTP-binding protein, plays an important role in regulating cell growth, inflammation, and mitochondria dynamics. However, the effect of DRG2 in aging remains unclear. In this study, we found that endogenous DRG2 protein expression is upregulated in oxidative stress-induced premature senescence models and tissues of aged mice. Ectopic expression of DRG2 significantly promoted senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity and inhibited cell growth, concomitant with increase in levels of acetyl (ac)-p53 (Lys382), ac-nuclear factor-kB (NF-κB) p65 (Lys310), p21 Waf1/Cip1 , and p16 Ink4a and a decrease in cyclin D1. In this process, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of H2A histone family member X (H2A.X), forming γ-H2A.X, were enhanced. Mechanistically, ectopic expression of DRG2 downregulated Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), resulting in augmented acetylation of p53 and NF-κB p65. Additionally, DRG2 knockdown significantly abolished oxidative stress-induced premature senescence. Our results provide a possible molecular mechanism for investigation of cellular senescence and aging regulated by DRG2.

Abstract
The current clinical first-line treatment of neuropathic pain still considers only the nervous system as the target, and its therapeutic effect is limited. An increasing number of studies support the opinion that neuropathic pain is a result of the combined action of the sensory nervous system and the related immune system. Under physiological conditions, both the nervous system and the immune system can maintain homeostasis by adjusting the mitochondrial function when sensing noxious stimulation. However, in the case of neuropathic pain, mitochondrial regulatory dysfunction occurs, which may result from the decreased expression of SIRT1. In this study, we review the role of SIRT1 in neuropathic pain from the viewpoint of neuroimmunity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were previously only known for their toxic properties. Now they are regarded as potent gaseous messenger molecules (gasotransmitters) that rapidly transverse cell membranes and transduce cellular signals through their chemical reactions and modifications to protein targets. Both are known to regulate numerous physiological functions including angiogenesis, vascular tone, and immune response, to name a few. NO and H2S often work synergistically and in competition to regulate each other's synthesis, target protein activity via posttranslational modifications (PTMs), and chemical interactions. In addition to their canonical modes of action, increasing evidence has demonstrated that NO and H2S share another signaling mechanism: epigenetic regulation. This review will compare and contrast biosynthesis and metabolism of NO and H2S, their individual and shared interactions, and the growing body of evidence for their roles as endogenous epigenetic regulatory molecules.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a potentially fatal multisystem inflammatory chronic disorder, the etiology and pathogenesis of which remain unclear. The loss of immune tolerance in SLE patients contributes to the production of autoantibodies that attack multiple organs and tissues, such as the skin, joints, and kidneys. Immune cells play important roles in the occurrence and progression of SLE through amplified immune responses. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase, has been shown to be a pivotal regulator in various physiological processes, including cell differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, aging, and immune responses, via modulation of different signaling pathways, such as the nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells and activator protein 1 pathways. Recent studies have provided evidence that SIRT1 could be a regulatory element in the immune system, whose altered functions are likely relevant to SLE development. This review aims to illustrate the functions of SIRT1 in different types of immune cells and the potential roles of SIRT1 in the SLE pathogenesis and its therapeutic perspectives.

Inonotsuoxide B regulates M1 to M2 macrophage polarization through sirtuin-1/endoplasmic reticulum stress axis. Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 96:107603.

Abstract
We explored the effect of tetracyclic triterpenoid inonotsuoxide B (IB) extracts of Inonotus obliquus on M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and its possible underlying mechanism. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated M1 macrophages exert pro-inflammatory effects and release inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The model and various groups were treated with different IB concentrations (2.5, 5, and 10 μg/mL) to observe changes in the M1 and M2 phenotypes, gene expression of NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 (Sirt1), and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). SIRT1-siRNA and thapsigargin (TG), an ERS agonist, were used to examine the relationship between SIRT1/ERS and the effect of IB on M1 to M2 RAW264.7 macrophage phenotypic changes. We found that IB had no effect on RAW264.7 cell proliferation at 10 μg/mL. Increasing concentrations of IB (2.5, 5, and 10 μg/mL) decreased the number of phenotypic M1 macrophages and, consequently, decreased the release of the inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and TNF-α. Furthermore, IB treatment increased the level of phenotypic M2 macrophages, which increased the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as arginase (Arg)-1 and found in inflammatory zone 1 (FIZZ1) in a dose-dependent manner. Further, we found that IB increased the expression of SIRT1 and inhibited that of ERS. Inhibition of Sirt1 expression by siRNA significantly increased that of ERS marker genes and IL1β. Excessive ERS levels inhibited the IB-induced transformation of phenotypic M1 macrophage to the M2 macrophage phenotype. Therefore, IB, an extract of I. obliquus, may regulate macrophage polarization through the SIRT1/ERS signaling pathway.

Abstract
The deacetylase SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) has emerged as a major regulator of nucleocytoplasmic distribution of macroautophagy/autophagy marker MAP1LC3/LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3). Activation of SIRT1 leads to the deacetylation of LC3 and its translocation from the nucleus into the cytoplasm leading to an increase in the autophagy flux. Notably, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a cytoprotective gasotransmitter known to activate SIRT1 and autophagy; however, the underlying mechanism for both remains unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that H2S sulfhydrates the active site cysteine of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase). Sulfhydration of GAPDH leads to its redistribution into the nucleus. Importantly, nuclear localization of GAPDH is critical for H2S-mediated activation of autophagy as H2S does not induce autophagy in cells with GAPDH ablation or cells overexpressing a GAPDH mutant lacking the active site cysteine. Importantly, we observed that nuclear GAPDH interacts with CCAR2/DBC1 (cell cycle activator a nd apoptosis regulator 2) inside the nucleus. CCAR2 interacts with the deacetylase SIRT1 to inhibit its activity. Interaction of GAPDH with CCAR2 disrupts the inhibitory effect of CCAR2 on SIRT1. Activated SIRT1 then deacetylates MAP1LC3B/LC3B (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta) to induce its translocation into the cytoplasm and activate autophagy. Additionally, we demonstrate this pathway's physiological role in autophagy-mediated trafficking of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into lysosomes to restrict intracellular mycobacteria growth. We think that the pathway described here could be involved in H2S-mediated clearance of intracellular pathogens and other health benefits.Abbreviations: ATG5: autophagy related 5; ATG7: autophagy related 7; BECN1: beclin 1, autophagy related; CCAR2/DBC1: cell cycle activator and apoptosis regulator 2; CFU: colony-forming units; DLG4/PSD95: discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 4; EX-527: 6-chloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-1-carboxamide; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; H2S: hydrogen sulfide; HEK: human embryonic kidney cells; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast; Mtb: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MOI: multiplicity of infection; NO: nitric oxide; PI3K: phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase; PLA: proximity ligation assay; PRKAA: protein kinase, AMP-activated, alpha catalytic subunit; SIAH1: siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1A; SIRT1: sirtuin 1; TB: tuberculosis; TP53INP2/DOR: transformation related protein 53 inducible nuclear protein 2; TRP53/TP53: transformation related protein 53.

Abstract
The accumulation of senescent adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) is the main cause for the deterioration of WAT and the subsequent age-related disorders in obesity. The number of AMSCs staining positively for senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) increased significantly after incubation with postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL), accompanied by an impaired cell proliferation capacity and increased expression of inflammatory factors. Besides, the expression of anti-aging protein, silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), was downregulated significantly, while those of acetylated p53 (Ac-p53), total p53, and p21 proteins were upregulated significantly during postprandial TRL-induced premature senescence of AMSCs. Furthermore, the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the TRL group increased significantly, while pretreatment with the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine effectively attenuated the premature senescence of AMSCs by decreasing ROS production and upregulating SIRT1 level. Thus, postprandial TRL induced premature senescence of AMSCs through the SIRT1/p53/Ac-p53/p21 axis, partly through increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) have been known to modulate inflammatory responses by targeting signal transduction pathways and influencing cellular redox balance through the generation of oxidants and antioxidants. Here, we studied the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-oxidative effect of ELF-EMF in THP-1 cells, particularly with respect to antioxidant enzymes, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), regulated transcriptionally through nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation. Cells treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were exposed to a 50 Hz, 1 mT extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields for 1 h, 6 h and, 24 h. Our results indicate that ELF-EMF induced HO-1 mRNA and protein expression in LPS-treated THP-1 cells, with peak expression at 6 h, accompanied with a concomitant migration to the nucleus of a truncated HO-1 protein form. The immunostaining analysis further verified a nuclear enrichment of HO-1. Moreover, ELF-EMF inhibited the protein expressions of the sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) pathways, confirming their anti-inflammatory/antioxidative role. Pretreatment with LY294002 (Akt inhibitor) and PD980559 (ERK inhibitor) inhibited LPS-induced Nrf2 nuclear translocation and HO-1 protein expression in ELF-EMF-exposed cells. Taken together, our results suggest that short ELF-EMF exposure exerts a protective role in THP-1 cells treated with an inflammatory/oxidative insult such as LPS, via the regulation of Nrf-2/HO-1 and SIRT1 /NF-kB pathways associated with intracellular glutathione (GSH) accumulation.

miR-369-3p modulates inducible nitric oxide synthase and is involved in regulation of chronic inflammatory response. Sci Rep 2020; 10:15942. [PMID: 32994523 PMCID: PMC7525504 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-72991-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Dendritic cells are the most important antigen-presenting cells that link the innate and acquired immune system. In our previous study, we identified that the upregulation of miR-369-3p suppresses the LPS-induced inflammatory response, reducing C/EBP-β, TNFα and IL-6 production. With the aim of gaining further insight into the biological function of miR-369-3p during acute inflammatory response, in the present study we identified novel gene targets of miR-369-3p and demonstrated the suppressive ability of these genes on the inflammatory dendritic cells. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that iNOS is a potential target of miR-369-3p. We demonstrated that the ectopic induction of miR-369-3p markedly reduced iNOS mRNA and protein as well as NO production. Moreover, we found that the upregulation of miR-369-3p decreased the release of TNFα, IL-6, IL-12, IL-1α, IL-1β in response to LPS, and increased the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and IL-1RA. In addition, LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-kB was inhibited by miR-369-3p. Levels of miR-369-3p were decreased in human inflamed regions of human intestine obtained from IBD patients. Our results provide novel additional information on miR-369-3p as a potential core of the signaling regulating the inflammatory response. These findings suggest that miR-369-3p should be considered as a potential target for the future development of new molecular therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Apoptotic and inflammatory pathways play important roles in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages. Sirt1 is a member of the deacetylase family that is known to promote apoptosis resistance in mammalian cells and was recently reported to regulate mycobacterial immunopathogenesis via inflammatory responses. However, the apoptotic role of Sirt1 in the process of M. tuberculosis infection remains unclear. With the help of mouse peritoneal macrophage samples, we have shown that resveratrol, a Sirt1 activator, inhibited M. tuberculosis-induced apoptosis in peritoneal macrophages. Further, we found that Sirt1 activation prompted M. tuberculosis induced GSK3β phosphorylation. Further investigation into the possible mechanisms of action showed that Sirt1 directly interacted with GSK3β and enhanced GSK3β phosphorylation by promoting its deacetylation. Sirt1 activation inhibited M. tuberculosis growth. Thus, it seemed that Sirt1 acted as a novel regulator of apoptosis signaling in M. tuberculosis infection via its direct effects on GSK3β. Sirt1 may therefore be a new candidate for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The neuropathological features of PD are selective and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, deficiencies in striatal dopamine levels, and the presence of intracellular Lewy bodies. Interactions among aging and genetic and environmental factors are considered to underlie the common etiology of PD, which involves multiple changes in cellular processes. Recent studies suggest that changes in lysine acetylation and deacetylation of many proteins, including histones and nonhistone proteins, might be tightly associated with PD pathogenesis. Here, we summarize the changes in lysine acetylation of both histones and nonhistone proteins, as well as the related lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), in PD patients and various PD models. We discuss the potential roles and underlying mechanisms of these changes in PD and highlight that restoring the balance of lysine acetylation/deacetylation of histones and nonhistone proteins is critical for PD treatment. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different KAT/KDAC inhibitors or activators in the treatment of PD models and emphasize that SIRT1 and SIRT3 activators and SIRT2 inhibitors are the most promising effective therapeutics for PD.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has been reported to be involved in the mechanisms underlying longevity and has also been indicated as a valuable regulator of age-related neurological disorders. Some natural products increase SIRT1 activity and stimulate deacetylation of various proteins. In the present study, SIRT1 overexpression by genetic modification or treatment with SIRT1 activators significantly inhibited the secretion of nitric oxide and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase 2, and proinflammatory mediator-interleukin 1β-in microglia. SIRT1 activation also decreased the levels of K379 acetyl-p53 and the protein inhibitor of activated Stat 1 expression in microglial cells. In addition, it dramatically promoted M2 polarization of microglia, which enhanced cell motility and altered phagocytic ability. We also used minocycline, a well-known inhibitor of microglial activation, to study the mechanism of SIRT1 signaling. Minocycline treatment decreased neuroinflammatory responses and promoted M2 polarization of microglia. It also reduced the acetyl-p53 level in the brain tissues in an inflammatory mouse model. Our findings demonstrated that SIRT1 participates in the maintenance of microglial polarization homeostasis and that minocycline exerts regulatory effects on SIRT1 activation. Therefore, our results indicate that SIRT1 activation may be a useful therapeutic target for the treatment of neuroinflammation-associated disorders.

Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein deacylases that remove acyl modifications from acyl-lysine residues, resulting in essential cellular signaling. Recognized for their role in lifespan extension, humans encode seven sirtuin isoforms (Sirt1-7), and loss of sirtuin deacylase activity is implicated in many aging-related diseases. Despite being intriguing therapeutic targets, cellular studies of sirtuins are hampered by the lack of chemical probes to measure sirtuin activity independent of sirtuin protein levels. Here, we use a modular, peptide-based approach to develop activity-based probes (ABPs) that directly measure Sirt1 activity in vitro and in cell lysates. ABPs were synthesized containing four elements: (1) thioacetyl-lysine for mechanism-based affinity towards only active sirtuins, (2) either histone H3 lysine-14 (H3K14) or p53 sequences for Sirt1 specificity, (3) a diazirine for covalent labeling upon UV irradiation, and (4) an alkyne for bioorthogonal conjugation to a fluorophore for gel-based detection of active Sirt1. Compared to the H3K14 ABP, the p53 ABP showed increased sensitivity and selective labeling of active Sirt1. Acyl-lysine peptide competition, pharmacological inhibition, and inhibitory post-translational modification of Sirt1 resulted in the loss of p53 ABP labeling both in vitro and in HEK293T cell lysates, consistent with the ABP measuring decreased Sirt1 activity. Furthermore, the p53 ABP measured subcellular Sirt1 activity in MCF7 breast cancer cells. The development of a Sirt1-selective ABP that detects Sirt1 activity with an order of magnitude increased sensitivity compared to previous approaches demonstrates the utility of a modular, peptide-based approach for selective-targeting of the sirtuin protein family and provides a framework for further development of sirtuin-selective chemical probes.

Abstract
Aging is a natural process that affects all systems of the human organism, leading to its inability to adapt to environmental changes. Advancing age has been correlated with various pathological conditions, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Carotid artery (CA) is mainly affected by age-induced functional and morphological alterations causing atheromatous disease. The evolvement of biomedical sciences has allowed the elucidation of many aspects of this condition. Symptomatic carotid disease (CD) derives from critical luminar stenosis or eruption of an atheromatous plaque due to structural modifications of the vessels, such as carotid intima-media thickening. At a histologic level, the aforementioned changes are mediated by elastin fragmentation, collagen deposition, immune cell infiltration, and accumulation of cytokines and vasoconstrictors. Underlying mechanisms include chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, dysregulation of cellular homeostatic systems, and senescence. Thus, there is an imbalance in components of the vessel wall, which fails to counteract exterior stress stimuli. Consequently, arterial relaxation is impaired and atherosclerotic lesions progress. This is a review of current evidence regarding the relationship of aging with vascular senescence and CD. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms can contribute to the production of efficient prevention methods and targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Sirtuins (e.g. human Sirt1-7) catalyze the removal of acyl groups from lysine residues in proteins in an NAD+-dependent manner, and loss of sirtuin deacylase activity correlates with the development of aging-related diseases. Although multiple reports suggest that sirtuin activity is regulated by oxidative post-translational modifications of cysteines during inflammation and aging, no systematic comparative study of potential direct sirtuin cysteine oxidative modifications has been performed. Here, using IC50 and k inact/KI analyses, we quantified the ability of nitrosothiols (S-nitrosoglutathione and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine), nitric oxide, oxidized GSH, and hydrogen peroxide to post-translationally modify and inhibit the deacylase activity of Sirt1, Sirt2, Sirt3, Sirt5, and Sirt6. The inhibition was correlated with cysteine modification and assessed with chemical-probe and blot-based assays for cysteine S-nitrosation, sulfenylation, and glutathionylation. We show that the primarily nuclear sirtuins Sirt1 and Sirt6, as well as the primarily cytosolic sirtuin Sirt2, are modified and inhibited by cysteine S-nitrosation in response to exposure to both free nitric oxide and nitrosothiols (k inact/KI ≥ 5 m-1 s-1), which is the first report of Sirt2 and Sirt6 inhibition by S-nitrosation. Surprisingly, the mitochondrial sirtuins Sirt3 and Sirt5 were resistant to inhibition by cysteine oxidants. Collectively, these results suggest that nitric oxide-derived oxidants may causatively link nuclear and cytosolic sirtuin inhibition to aging-related inflammatory disease development.

Abstract
Bone loss (osteopenia) is a common complication in human solid tumour. In addition, after surgical treatment of gynaecological tumour, osteoporosis often occurs due to the withdrawal of oestrogen. The major characteristic of osteoporosis is the low bone mass with micro-architectural deteriorated bone tissue. And the main cause is the overactivation of osteoclastogenesis, which is one of the most important therapeutic targets. Inflammation could induce the interaction of RANKL/RANK, which is the promoter of osteoclastogenesis. Triptolide is derived from the traditional Chinese herb lei gong teng, presented multiple biological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and immunosuppression. We hypothesized that triptolide could inhibits osteoclastogenesis by suppressing inflammation activation. In this study, we confirmed that triptolide could suppress RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) and RAW264.7 cells and inhibited the osteoclast bone resorption functions. PI3K-AKT-NFATc1 pathway is one of the most important downstream pathways of RANKL-induced osteogenesis. The experiments in vitro indicated that triptolide suppresses the activation of PI3K-AKT-NFATc1 pathway and the target point located at the upstream of AKT because both NFATc1 overexpression and AKT phosphorylation could ameliorate the triptolide suppression effects. The expression of MDM2 was elevated, which demonstrated the MDM-p53-induced cell death might contribute to the osteoclastogenesis suppression. Ovariectomy-induced bone loss and inflammation activation were also found to be ameliorated in the experiments in vivo. In summary, the new effect of anti-cancer drug triptolide was demonstrated to be anti-osteoclastogenesis, and we demonstrated triptolide might be a promising therapy for bone loss caused by tumour.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Various microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in cell growth regulation and inflammatory reaction. However, the detailed roles of miR-217 and miR-138-5p in PD progression remain to be investigated. In the present study, we explored the effects and underlying mechanisms of miR-217 and miR-138-5p on the inflammatory response, oxidative stress and the induction of neuronal apoptosis in an in vitro PD cell line model induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). The results of the biological software analysis and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was a direct target of miR-217 and miR-138-5p. MiR-217 and miR-138-5p exhibited a negative regulatory effect on the expression of SIRT1 in SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, the expression levels of miR-217 and miR-138-5p were increased, and SIRT1 expression was decreased in SH-SY5Y cells following MPP+ treatment. Loss-of-function experiments indicated that treatment of the cells with inhibitors against miR-217 and miR-138-5p promoted cell viability and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, while the induction of cell apoptosis, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) release were inhibited in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were reduced in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Treatment of the cells with the miR-217 and the miR-138-5p inhibitors significantly inhibited the ratio of phosphorylated (p)-p65/p65 expression levels in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. In summary, the present study demonstrated that the miR-217/miR-138-5p/SIRT1 axis was involved in the progression of PD by regulating the inflammatory response and the induction of oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. The data provide new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for PD patients.
