Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis poses a substantial public health challenge due to an ageing population and the lack of adequate treatment options. The condition is marked by a reduction in bone mineral density, resulting in an elevated risk of fractures. The reduction in bone density and strength, as well as musculoskeletal issues that come with aging, present a significant challenge for individuals impacted by these conditions, as well as the healthcare system worldwide. METHODS Literature survey was conducted until May 2023 using databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. RESULT Sirtuins 1-7 (SIRT1-SIRT7), which are a group of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases, possess remarkable capabilities to increase lifespan and combat diseases related to aging. Research has demonstrated that these proteins play an important role in regular skeletal development and maintenance by directly impacting bone cells. Their dysfunction could be a factor in various bone conditions. Studies conducted on animals before clinical trials have shown that administering Sirtuins agonists to mice provides a safeguard against osteoporosis resulting from aging, menopause, and immobilization. These findings imply that Sirtuins may be a viable target for addressing the irregularity in bone remodeling and treating osteoporosis and other skeletal ailments. CONCLUSION The purpose of this review was to present a thorough and current evaluation of the existing knowledge on Sirtuins biology, with a particular emphasis on their involvement in maintaining bone homeostasis and contributing to osteoporosis. Additionally, the review examines potential pharmacological interventions targeting Sirtuins for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of Sirt1 in the pathophysiological process of OA. Safranine O and HE staining were utilized to identify pathological changes in the cartilage tissue. Immunohistochemistry was employed to evaluate the expression levels of proteins. IL-1β treatment and TamCartSirt1flox/flox mice were utilized to induce OA model both in vitro and in vivo. Key autophagy-related transcription factors, autophagy-related genes, and chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM) breakdown enzyme markers were examined using multi assays. Immunofluorescence staining revealed subcellular localization and gene expression patterns. ChIP assay and Co-immunoprecipitation assay were conducted to investigate the interactions between FoxO1 and the promoter regions of Atg7 and Sirt1. Our results demonstrate that Sirt1 deficiency exhibited inhibitory effects on ECM synthesis and autophagy, as well as exacerbated angiogenesis. Moreover, Atg7, Foxo1, and Sirt1 could form a protein complex. Sirt1 was observed to facilitate nuclear translocation of FoxO1, enhancing its transcriptional activity. Furthermore, FoxO1 was found to bind to the promoter regions of Atg7 and Sirt1, potentially regulating their expression. This study provides valuable insights into the involvement of Sirt1-Atg7-FoxO1 loop in OA, opening new avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions aiming to mitigate cartilage degradation and restore joint function.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterised by articular cartilage destruction, and its complex aetiology contributes to suboptimal clinical treatment outcomes. A close association exists between glucose metabolism dysregulation and OA pathogenesis. Owing to the unique environment of low oxygen and glucose concentrations, chondrocytes rely heavily on their glycolytic capacity, exhibiting distinct spatiotemporal differences. However, under pathological stimulation, chondrocytes undergo excessive glycolytic activity while mitochondrial respiration and other branches of glucose metabolism are compromised. This metabolic change induces cartilage degeneration by reprogramming the inflammatory responses. Sirtuins, a highly conserved family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases, regulate glucose metabolism in response to energy fluctuations in different cellular compartments,alleviating metabolic stress. SIRT1, the most extensively studied sirtuin, participates in maintaining glucose homeostasis in almost all key metabolic tissues. While actively contributing to the OA progression and displaying diverse biological effects in cartilage protection, SIRT1's role in regulating glucose metabolism in chondrocytes has not received sufficient attention. This review focuses on discussing the beneficial role of SIRT1 in OA progression from a metabolic regulation perspective based on elucidating the primary characteristics of chondrocyte glucose metabolism. We also summarise the potential mechanisms and therapeutic strategies targeting SIRT1 in chondrocytes to guide clinical practice and explore novel therapeutic directions.

Paeoniflorin recued hepatotoxicity under zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure via regulation on gut-liver axis and reversal of pyroptosis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 904:166885.

Abstract
The risks of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) applications in biological medicine, food processing industry, agricultural production and the biotoxicity brought by environmental invasion of ZnO NPs both gradually troubled the public due to the lack of research on detoxification strategies. TFEB-regulated autophagy-pyroptosis pathways were found as the crux of the hepatotoxicity induced by ZnO NPs in our latest study. Here, our study served as a connecting link between preceding toxic target and the following protection mechanism of Paeoniflorin (PF). According to a combined analysis of network pharmacology/molecular docking-intestinal microbiota-metabolomics first developed in our study, PF alleviated the hepatotoxicity of ZnO NPs from multiple aspects. The hepatic inflammatory injury and hepatocyte pyroptosis in mice liver exposed to ZnO NPs was significantly inhibited by PF. And the intestinal microbiota disorder and liver metabolic disturbance were rescued. The targets predicted by bioinformatics and the signal trend in subacute toxicological model exhibited the protectiveness of PF related to the SIRT1-mTOR-TFEB pathway. These evidences clarified multiple protective mechanisms of PF which provided a novel detoxification approach against ZnO NPs, and further provided a strategy for the medicinal value development of PF.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15406. [PMID: 37895086 PMCID: PMC10607608 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242015406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The regulation of growth processes in children depends on the synthesis of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Insulin-like growth factor 1, which is mainly secreted in the liver in response to GH, is the main peripheral mediator of GH action. Newly discovered factors regulating GH secretion and its effects are being studied recently. One of them is sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). This NAD+-dependent deacetylase, by modulating the JAK2/STAT pathway, is involved in the transduction of the GH signal in hepatocytes, leading to the synthesis of IGF-1. In addition, it participates in the regulation of the synthesis of GHRH in the hypothalamus and GH in the somatotropic cells. SIRT1 is suggested to be involved in growth plate chondrogenesis and longitudinal bone growth as it has a positive effect on the epiphyseal growth plate. SIRT1 is also implicated in various cellular processes, including metabolism, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, oxidative stress response, and DNA repair. Thus, its expression varies depending on the different metabolic states. During malnutrition, SIRT1 blocks GH signal transduction in hepatocytes to reduce the IGF-1 secretion and prevent hypoglycemia (i.e., it causes transient GH resistance). In this review, we focused on the influence of SIRT1 on GH signal transduction and the implications that may arise for growth processes in children.

J Neuroinflammation 2023; 20:202. [PMID: 37670386 PMCID: PMC10481494 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-023-02886-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optic nerve injury (ONI) is a key cause of irreversible blindness and triggers retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) change and synapse loss. Microglia is the resistant immune cell in brain and retina and has been demonstrated to be highly related with neuron and synapse injury. However, the function of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a neuroprotective molecule, in mediating microglial activation, retinal synapse loss and subsequent retinal ganglion cells death in optic nerve injury model as well as the regulatory mechanism remain unclear. METHOD To this end, optic nerve crush (ONC) model was conducted to mimic optic nerve injury. Resveratrol and EX527, highly specific activator and inhibitor of SIRT1, respectively, were used to explore the function of SIRT1 in vivo and vitro. Cx3Cr1-CreERT2/RaptorF/F mice were used to delete Raptor for inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity in microglia. HEK293 and BV2 cells were transfected with plasmids to explore the regulatory mechanism of SIRT1. RESULTS We discovered that microglial activation and synapse loss in retinal inner plexiform layer (IPL) occurred after optic nerve crush, with later-development retinal ganglion cells death. SIRT1 activation induced by resveratrol inhibited microglial activation and attenuated synapse loss and retinal ganglion cells injury. After injury, microglial phagocytosed synapse and SIRT1 inhibited this process to protect synapse and retinal ganglion cells. Moreover, SIRT1 exhibited neuron protective effects via activating tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) through deacetylation, and enhancing the inhibition effect of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 on mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 activity. CONCLUSION Our research provides novel insights into microglial SIRT1 in optic nerve injury and suggests a potential strategy for neuroprotective treatment of optic nerve injury disease.

Abstract
Purpose Silent mating type information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) and autophagy have a two-way action (promoting cell death or survival) on the progression and treatment of gastric cancer (GC) under different conditions or environments. This study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of SIRT1 on autophagy and the malignant biological behavior of GC cells under conditions of glucose deprivation (GD). Materials and methods Human immortalized gastric mucosal cell GES-1 and GC cell lines SGC-7901, BGC-823, MKN-45 and MKN-28 were utilized. A sugar-free or low-sugar (glucose concentration, 2.5 mmol/L) DMEM medium was used to simulate GD. Additionally, CCK8, colony formation, scratches, transwell, siRNA interference, mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus infection, flow cytometry and western blot assays were performed to investigate the role of SIRT1 in autophagy and malignant biological behaviors (proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and cell cycle) of GC under GD and the underlying mechanism. Results SGC-7901 cells had the longest tolerance time to GD culture conditions, which had the highest expression of SIRT1 protein and the level of basal autophagy. With the extension of GD time, the autophagy activity in SGC-7901 cells also increased. Under GD conditions, we found a close relationship between SIRT1, FoxO1 and Rab7 in SGC-7901 cells. SIRT1 regulated the activity of FoxO1 and upregulated the expression of Rab7 through deacetylation, which ultimately affected autophagy in GC cells. In addition, changing the expression of FoxO1 provided feedback on the expression of SIRT1 in the cell. Reducing SIRT1, FoxO1 or Rab7 expression significantly inhibited the autophagy levels of GC cells under GD conditions, decreased the tolerance of GC cells to GD, enhanced the inhibition of GD in GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and increased apoptosis induced by GD. Conclusion The SIRT1-FoxO1-Rab7 pathway is crucial for the autophagy and malignant biological behaviors of GC cells under GD conditions, which could be a new target for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
Dexamethasone (Dex) is reported to cause bone growth retardation in children, which is associated with the increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays an important role in chondrocyte function and homeostasis. Thus, we further explored the regulatory mechanism of SIRT1 in Dex-induced growth plate chondrocyte dysfunction. SIRT1 expression was detected in Dex-treated growth plate chondrocytes using RT-qPCR and western blot assay. The modulation of SIRT1 on SOX2 expression was evaluated. Besides, we identified that SIRT1 was targeted by miR-211-5p using TargetScan and RNA pull-down assay. A loss-of-function assay was performed to evaluate the effects of miR-211-5p on Dex-induced growth plate chondrocyte dysfunction in vitro and in vivo. We found that SIRT1 was downregulated in Dex-treated growth plate chondrocytes. The expression of SOX2 was upregulated by overexpression SIRT1. Meanwhile, downregulation of SOX2 weakened the positive function of SIRT1 overexpression on Dex-induced growth plate chondrocytes dysfunction. Subsequently, we confirmed that SIRT1 was targeted by miR-211-5p. MiR-211-5p inhibitor increased the expression levels of SIRT1 and SOX2, and restored the Dex-treated growth plate chondrocyte function. Animal assays further demonstrated that the effects of miR-211-5p on the growth plate chondrogenesis. In conclusion, our data suggest that SIRT1 exerts a protective effect on growth plate chondrocyte under Dex stimulation. MiR-211-5p/SIRT1/SOX2 axis regulates the process of Dex-inhibited growth plate chondrogenesis.

Abstract
Purpose Optic nerve injury (ONI) causes neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration leading to visual deficits. The response of microglia has emerged as an impactful component of etiology in neurodegeneration. This study aimed to investigate the effect of SIRT1-mTORC1 signaling pathway in microglia regulation after ONI. Methods Cx3Cr1-CreERT2/RaptorF/F and Cx3Cr1-CreERT2/Sirt1F/F mice were used to delete Raptor and Sirt1 in microglia, respectively. Optic nerve crush (ONC) model was established to mimic ONI. PLX5622, a highly specific inhibitor of the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), is used to eliminate microglia in optic nerve. Ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) immunostaining was used to detect microglial activation. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were quantified by Nissl staining and retinal whole-mount immunostaining with RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS). Axonal damage was valued by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results Microglial activation emerged on day 3 post ONC and was earlier than RGCs loss which occurred at day 5 after injury. Depleting microglia with PLX5622 could attenuate the loss of RGCs and axon damage after ONC. Gain- and loss-of-function studies revealed that SIRT1 determined the activation of microglia in optic nerve. In addition, microglia-specific deletion of Raptor resulted in decreased microglial activation. Interestingly, activating mTORC1 with CCT007093 could reverse the function of SIRT1 in regulating the process of microglial activation mediated RGCs loss. Conclusion Our study reveals a potential novel mechanism of SIRT1-mTORC1 pathway in microglia regulation, and indicates a therapeutic potential for the protection of RGCs in ONI.

[PMID: 33393735 PMCID: PMC7884050 DOI: 10.1111/acel.13301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2020] [Revised: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The decline in bone mass and bone strength and musculoskeletal problems associated with aging constitute a major challenge for affected individuals and the healthcare system globally. Sirtuins 1-7 (SIRT1-SIRT7) are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylases with remarkable abilities to promote longevity and counteract age-related diseases. Sirtuin knockout and transgenic models have provided novel insights into the function and signaling of these proteins in bone homeostasis. Studies have revealed that sirtuins play a critical role in normal skeletal development and homeostasis through their direct action on bone cells and that their dysregulation might contribute to different bone diseases. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that mice treated with sirtuin agonists show protection against age-related, postmenopausal, and immobilization-induced osteoporosis. These findings suggest that sirtuins could be potential targets for the modulation of the imbalance in bone remodeling and treatment of osteoporosis and other bone disorders. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive updated review of the current knowledge on sirtuin biology, focusing specifically on their roles in bone homeostasis and osteoporosis, and potential pharmacological interventions targeting sirtuins for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone cells must constantly respond to hormonal and mechanical cues to change gene expression programs. Of the myriad of epigenomic mechanisms used by cells to dynamically alter cell type-specific gene expression, histone acetylation and deacetylation has received intense focus over the past two decades. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) represent a large family of proteins with a conserved deacetylase domain first described to deacetylate lysine residues on histone tails. It is now appreciated that multiple classes of HDACs exist, some of which are clearly misnamed in that acetylated lysine residues on histone tails is not the major function of their deacetylase domain. Here, we will review the roles of proteins bearing deacetylase domains in bone cells, focusing on current genetic evidence for each individual HDAC gene. While class I HDACs are nuclear proteins whose primary role is to deacetylate histones, class IIa and class III HDACs serve other important cellular functions. Detailed knowledge of the roles of individual HDACs in bone development and remodeling will set the stage for future efforts to specifically target individual HDAC family members in the treatment of skeletal diseases such as osteoporosis.

Rapamycin-Induced Autophagy Promotes the Chondrogenic Differentiation of Synovium-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Temporomandibular Joint in Response to IL-1 β. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:4035306. [PMID: 33145347 PMCID: PMC7599423 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4035306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Cartilage defects in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) lead to chronic pain and seldom heal. Synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) exhibit superior chondrogenesis and have become promising seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering. However, local inflammatory conditions that affect the repair of articular cartilage by SMSCs present a challenge, and the specific mechanism through which the function remains unclear. Thus, it is important to explore the chondrogenesis of SMSCs under inflammatory conditions of TMD such that they can be used more effectively in clinical treatment. In this study, we obtained SMSCs from TMD patients with severe cartilage injuries. In response to stimulation with IL-1β, which is well known as one of the most prevalent cytokines in TMD, MMP13 expression increased, while that of SOX9, aggrecan, and collagen II decreased during chondrogenic differentiation. At the same time, IL-1β upregulated the expression of mTOR and decreased the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and the formation of autophagosomes. Further study revealed that rapamycin pretreatment promoted the migration of SMSCs and the expression of chondrogenesis-related markers in the presence of IL-1β by inducing autophagy. 3-Benzyl-5-((2-nitrophenoxy)methyl)-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (3BDO), a new activator of mTOR, inhibited autophagy and increased the expression of p-GSK3βser9 and β-catenin, simulating the effect of IL-1β stimulation. Furthermore, rapamycin reduced the expression of mTOR, whereas the promotion of LC3-II/LC3-I was blocked by the GSK3β inhibitor TWS119. Taken together, these results indicate that rapamycin enhances the chondrogenesis of SMSCs by inducing autophagy, and GSK3β may be an important regulator in the process of rapamycin-induced autophagy. Thus, inducing autophagy may be a useful approach in the chondrogenic differentiation of SMSCs in the inflammatory microenvironment and may represent a novel TMD treatment.

Cartilage -specific knockout of Sirt1 significantly reduces bone quality and catch-up growth efficiency. Bone 2020; 138:115468. [PMID: 32512163 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous catch-up (CU) growth occurs when a growth-restricting factor is resolved. However, its efficiency is sometimes inadequate and growth deficits remain permanent. The therapeutic toolbox for short stature is currently very limited, thus, finding new regulatory pathways is important for the development of novel means of treatment. Our previous studies using a nutrition-induced CU growth model showed that the level of sirtuin-1 (Sirt1) was significantly increased in food-restricted animals and decreased during CU growth. AIM This study sought to investigate the role of Sirt1 in modulating the response of the epiphyseal growth plate (EGP) to nutritional manipulation. METHOD Collagen type II-specific Sirt1 knockout (CKO) mice were tested for response to our CU growth model consisting of a period of food restriction followed by re-feeding. RESULTS The transgenic CKO mice weighed more than the control (CTL) mice, their EGP was higher and less organized, specifically at the resting and proliferative zones, leading to shorter bones. Ablation of Sirt1 in the chondrocytes was found to have a dramatic effect on bone mineralization on micro-CT analysis. The CKO mice were less responsive to the nutritional manipulation, and their CU growth was less efficient. They remained shorter than the CTL mice who corrected the food restriction-induced growth deficit during the re-feeding period. CONCLUSIONS Sirt1 appears to be important for normal regulation of the EGP. In its absence, the EGP is less organized and CU growth is less efficient. These results suggest that SIRT1 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for short stature.

Abstract
Sirt1 involved in cellular aging and aging-related diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). Our previous study showed Sirt1 played a role in the pathogenesis of OA, however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly elicited. In this study, we investigated the role of Sirt1 in epigenetically regulating P53/P21 pathway in a Sirt1 loss model. Sirt1 deletion male mice (n = 10) with destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) were used to observe its role on OA development. Then, the relationships between SIRT1 and P53 were detected by Coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP), and the gain-off function of P53 gene was indicated by P53 activators and inhibitors in vitro. Finally, human cartilage samples from patients with OA were collected. Sirt1 deletion mice displayed a spontaneous OA development, manifesting severe chondrocytes hypertrophy markers MMP13 and ADAMTS5, highly expressed P53 and P21. Strikingly, surgery-induced meniscus injury promoted the OA pathogenesis and apoptosis in Sirt1 deficient mice. Ultimately, our CoIP data demonstrated that Sirt1 directly interacted with P53 in vitro. However inhibition of P53 alleviated OA progression. We also observed that chondrocyte apoptosis and P53 increased in osteoarthritis (OA) progression with a declining expression of Sirt1 in human cartilage. Loss of Sirt1 in cartilage led to accelerated OA pathogenesis via aberrant activation of p53/p21 mediated senescence associated secretory phenotype, hypertrophy and apoptosis.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence implies a pivotal role of sirtuin-1 (Sirt1) in chondrocyte function and homeostasis; however, its underlying mechanisms mediating chondrogenesis, which is an essential process for physiological skeletal growth, are still poorly understood. In the current study, we generated TamCartSirt1-/- [Sirt1 conditional knockout (cKO)] mice to explore the role of Sirt1 during postnatal endochondral ossification. Compared with control mice, cKO mice exhibited growth retardation associated with inhibited chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy, as well as activated apoptosis. These effects were regulated by hyperactivation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling, and thereby inhibition of autophagy and induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress in growth plate chondrocytes. IP injection of the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin to mice with Sirt1 deletion partially neutralized such inhibitory effects of Sirt1 ablation on longitudinal bone growth, indicating the causative link between SIRT1 and mTORC1 signaling in the growth plate. Mechanistically, SIRT1 interacted with tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), a key upstream negative regulator of mTORC1 signaling, and loss of Sirt1 inhibited TSC2 expression, resulting in hyperactivated mTORC1 signaling in chondrocytes. In conclusion, our findings suggest that loss of Sirt1 may trigger mTORC1 signaling in growth plate chondrocytes and contributes to growth retardation, thus indicating that SIRT1 is an important regulator during chondrogenesis and providing new insights into the clinical potential of SIRT1 in bone development.
