Abstract
Atherosclerosis is characterized by the development of intimal plaque, thrombosis, and stenosis of the vessel lumen causing decreased blood flow and hypoxia precipitating angina. Chronic inflammation in the stable plaque renders it unstable and rupture of unstable plaques results in the formation of emboli leading to hypoxia/ischemia to the organs by occluding the terminal branches and precipitate myocardial infarction and stroke. Such delibitating events could be controlled by the strategies that prevent plaque development or plaque stabilization. Despite the use of statins to stabilize plaques, there is a need for novel targets due to continuously increasing cases of cardiovascular events. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a family of signaling proteins, are involved in sustaining genome integrity, DNA damage response and repair, modulating oxidative stress, aging, inflammation, and energy metabolism. SIRTs play a critical role in modulating inflammation and involves in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The role of SIRTs in relation to atherosclerosis and plaque vulnerability is scarcely discussed in the literature. Since SIRTs regulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging, they may also regulate plaque progression and vulnerability as these molecular mechanisms underlie the pathogenesis of plaque development, progression, and vulnerability. This review critically discusses the role of SIRTs in plaque progression and vulnerability and the possibility of targeting SIRTs to attenuate plaque rupture, focusing on the highlights in genomics, molecular pathways, and cell types involved in the underlying pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This case-control study investigated the association between Sirtuin SIRT3 gene polymorphisms, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and CAD susceptibility. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 70 CAD cases and 30 controls at the Cardiac Center, Azadi Teaching Hospital, Duhok, Iraq. Genomic DNA was extracted, and PCR-based allele genotyping determined SIRT3 rs11246029 T/C polymorphisms. Serum MDA levels were measured using ELISA. Statistical analysis included t-tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Spearman correlations. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) assessed genotypes/alleles and CAD associations. The accuracy of serum MDA in predicting the severity of CAD was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS There were no significant variations in serum MDA levels between controls and CAD patients in the study. The diagnostic accuracy of serum MDA for CAD severity prediction was modest (Area Under Curve (AUC) = 0.56). Correlations revealed associations between MDA and total bilirubin (negative) and Troponin (positive). CRP correlated positively with LDH, glucose, cholesterol, LDL, CKmB, and Troponin. CKmB and Troponin are positively associated with clinical characteristics. Genotype analysis identified a significantly higher CAD risk with the CC genotype compared to controls. CONCLUSION These findings shed light on the potential role of SIRT3 gene polymorphisms and serum MDA levels in CAD susceptibility. Further research is needed to understand underlying mechanisms and therapeutic implications based on these markers. TRIAL REGISTRATION 15092021-9-12. Registered 15 September 2021.

Role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and sirtuin genes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease development. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2023; 27:512-521. [PMID: 37867611 PMCID: PMC10587010 DOI: 10.18699/vjgb-23-62] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multifactorial disease of the respiratory system which develops as a result of a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors closely related to lifestyle. We aimed to assess the combined effect of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway (PIK3R1, AKT1, MTOR, PTEN) and sirtuin (SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6) genes to COPD risk. SNPs of SIRT1 (rs3758391, rs3818292), SIRT3 (rs3782116, rs536715), SIRT6 (rs107251), AKT1 (rs2494732), PIK3R1 (rs10515070, rs831125, rs3730089), MTOR (rs2295080, rs2536), PTEN (rs701848, rs2735343) genes were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) among 1245 case and control samples. Logistic regression was used to detect the association of SNPs in different models. Linear regression analyses were performed to estimate the relationship between SNPs and lung function parameters and smoking pack-years. Significant associations with COPD were identified for SIRT1 (rs3818292) (P = 0.001, OR = 1.51 for AG), SIRT3 (rs3782116) (P = 0.0055, OR = 0.69) and SIRT3 (rs536715) (P = 0.00001, OR = 0.50) under the dominant model, SIRT6 (rs107251) (P = 0.00001, OR = 0.55 for СT), PIK3R1: (rs10515070 (P = 0.0023, OR = 1.47 for AT), rs831125 (P = 0.00001, OR = 2.28 for AG), rs3730089 (P = 0.0007, OR = 1.73 for GG)), PTEN: (rs701848 (P = 0.0015, OR = 1.35 under the log-additive model), and rs2735343 (P = 0.0001, OR = 1.64 for GC)). A significant genotype-dependent variation of lung function parameters was observed for SIRT1 (rs3818292), SIRT3 (rs3782116), PIK3R1 (rs3730089), and MTOR (rs2536). Gene-gene combinations that remained significantly associated with COPD were obtained; the highest risk of COPD was conferred by a combination of G allele of the PIK3R1 (rs831125) gene and GG of SIRT3 (rs536715) (OR = 3.45). The obtained results of polygenic analysis indicate the interaction of genes encoding sirtuins SIRT3, SIRT2, SIRT6 and PI3KR1, PTEN, MTOR and confirm the functional relationship between sirtuins and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Smooth muscle liver kinase B1 inhibits foam cell formation and atherosclerosis via direct phosphorylation and activation of SIRT6. Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:542. [PMID: 37607939 PMCID: PMC10444762 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-06054-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Foam cell formation is a hallmark of the early phase of atherosclerosis. Growing evidence has demonstrated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) comprise a considerable proportion of foam cells. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) plays a crucial part in cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of LKB1 in VSMC-derived foam cell formation and atherosclerosis remains unclear. To explore the effects of LKB1 on VSMC-derived foam cell formation and atherosclerosis, we generated smooth muscle-specific LKB1 knockout (LKB1SMKO) mice by crossbreeding LKB1flox/flox mice with SM22α-CreERT2 mice. LKB1 expression decreased in plaque-loaded aortas and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-treated VSMCs. Compared with controls, atherosclerosis development was exacerbated in LKB1SMKO mice via the promotion of VSMC-derived foam cell formation. Conversely, LKB1 overexpression inhibited lipid uptake and foam cell formation in VSMCs. Mechanistically, LKB1 binds to SIRT6 and directly phosphorylates and activates it, thereby reducing lectin-like oxLDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) via SIRT6-dependent histone deacetylation. Finally, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated LOX-1 deficiency in smooth muscle ameliorated atherosclerosis in LKB1SMKO mice. Our findings suggest that LKB1 may modulate VSMC-derived foam cell formation and atherosclerosis via the phosphorylation and activation of SIRT6.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are severe diseases posing threat to human health because of their high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is also increasing rapidly. Various signaling molecules are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), which is a class III histone deacetylase, has attracted numerous attentions since its discovery. Sirt6 enjoys a unique structure, important biological functions, and is involved in multiple cellular processes such as stress response, mitochondrial biogenesis, transcription, insulin resistance, inflammatory response, chromatin silencing, and apoptosis. Sirt6 also plays significant roles in regulating several cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, as well as cardiac remodeling, bringing Sirt6 into the focus of clinical interests. In this review, we examine the recent advances in understanding the mechanistic working through which Sirt6 alters the course of lethal cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus.

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

Abstract
Since their discovery, arylamine N-acetyltransferases 1 and 2 (NAT1 and NAT2, respectively) have been associated with the metabolism of xenobiotics. NAT2 is the main factor in the therapeutic success of tuberculosis treatment due to its role in the biotransformation of isoniazid. However, researchers have started to investigate the possible participation of NAT1 and NAT2 (NATs) in carcinogenesis, although the mechanisms have not been elucidated fully. NATs enzymatic activity is essential in some types of cancer, such as breast cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Whether NAT1 and/or NAT2 participate in insulin resistance level in diabetes mellitus or in the immune system remains to be explored. Therefore, it is clear that its role in cell physiology has more implications than just metabolizing compounds.
