Abstract
Aging affects all organs. Arteries, in particular, are among the most affected. Vascular aging (VA) is defined as age-associated changes in function and structure of vessels. Classical VA phenotypes are carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), carotid plaque (CP), and arterial stiffness (STIFF). Individuals have different predisposition to these VA phenotypes and their associated risk of cardiovascular events. Some develop an early vascular aging (EVA), and others are protected and identified as having supernormal vascular aging (SUPERNOVA). The mechanisms leading to these phenotypes are not well understood. In the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS), we found genetic variants in the 7 Sirtuins (SIRT) and 5 Uncoupling Proteins (UCP) to be differently associated with risk to developing VA phenotypes. In this article, we review the results of genetic-epidemiology studies to better understand which of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SIRT and UCP are responsible for both EVA and SUPERNOVA.

Abstract
The greatest challenges that organisms face today are effective responses or detection of life-threatening environmental changes due to an obvious semblance of stress and metabolic fluctuations. These are associated with different pathological conditions among which cancer is most important. Sirtuins (SIRTs; NAD+-dependent enzymes) are versatile enzymes with diverse substrate preferences, cellular locations, crucial for cellular processes and pathological conditions. This article describes in detail the distinct roles of SIRT isoforms, unveiling their potential as either cancer promoters or suppressors and also explores how both natural and synthetic compounds influence the SIRT function, indicating promise for therapeutic applications. We also discussed the inhibitors/activators tailored to specific SIRTs, holding potential for diseases lacking effective treatments. It may uncover the lesser-studied SIRT isoforms (e.g., SIRT6, SIRT7) and their unique functions. This article also offers a comprehensive overview of SIRTs, linking them to a spectrum of diseases and highlighting their potential for targeted therapies, combination approaches, disease management, and personalized medicine. We aim to contribute to a transformative era in healthcare and innovative treatments by unraveling the intricate functions of SIRTs.

Abstract
It has long been postulated that dietary restriction is beneficial for ensuring longevity and extending the health span of mammals, including humans. In particular, a reduction in protein consumption has been shown to be specifically linked to the beneficial effect of dietary restriction on metabolic disorders, presumably by reducing the activity of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) 1 and the reciprocal activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and sirtuin pathways. Although it is widely used as a dietary supplement to delay the aging process in humans, recent evidence suggests that branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) might be a major cause of the deteriorating effect of a protein diet on aging and related disorders. In this review, we delineate the regulation of metabolic pathways for BCAAs at the tissue-specific level and summarize recent findings regarding the role of BCAAs in the control of metabolic health and disease in mammals.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been highlighted as key players in numerous diseases, and accumulating evidence indicates that pathological expressions of miRNAs contribute to both the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as well. Another important factor affecting the development and progression of CVD is reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as the oxidative stress they may impose on the cells. Considering miRNAs are involved in virtually every biological process, it is not unreasonable to assume that miRNAs also play critical roles in the regulation of oxidative stress. This narrative review aims to provide mechanistic insights on possible oxidative stress-regulating roles of miRNAs in cardiovascular diseases based on differentially expressed miRNAs reported in various cardiovascular diseases and their empirically validated targets that have been implicated in the regulation of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Lipodystrophies (LDs) are rare, complex disorders of the adipose tissue characterized by selective fat loss, altered adipokine profile and metabolic impairment. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are class III NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases linked to fat metabolism. SIRT1 plays a critical role in metabolic health by deacetylating target proteins in tissue types including liver, muscle, and adipose. Circulating SIRT1 levels have been found to be reduced in obesity and increased in anorexia nervosa and patients experiencing weight loss. We evaluated circulating SIRT1 levels in relation to fat levels in 32 lipodystrophic patients affected by congenital or acquired LDs compared to non-LD subjects (24 with anorexia nervosa, 22 normal weight, and 24 with obesity). SIRT1 serum levels were higher in LDs than normal weight subjects (mean ± SEM 4.18 ± 0.48 vs. 2.59 ± 0.20 ng/mL) and subjects with obesity (1.7 ± 0.39 ng/mL), whereas they were close to those measured in anorexia nervosa (3.44 ± 0.46 ng/mL). Our findings show that within the LD group, there was no relationship between SIRT1 levels and the amount of body fat. The mechanisms responsible for secretion and regulation of SIRT1 in LD deserve further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by bone mass decrease and bone tissue microarchitectural deterioration in bone tissue. This study identified potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of OP and elucidated the mechanism of OP. METHODS Gene expression profiles were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for the GSE56814 dataset. A gene co-expression network was constructed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify key modules associated with healthy and OP samples. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted using the R clusterProfiler package for modules to construct the transcriptional regulatory factor networks. We used the "ggpubr" package in R to screen for differentially expressed genes between the two samples. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was employed to further validate hub gene expression levels between normal and OP samples using RT-PCR and immunofluorescence to evaluate the potential biological changes in various samples. RESULTS There was a distinction between the normal and OP conditions based on the preserved significant module. A total of 100 genes with the highest MM scores were considered key genes. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that the top 10 biological processes, cellular component and molecular functions were enriched. The Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, osteoclast differentiation, JAK-STAT signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway were identified by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. SIRT1 and ZNF350 were identified by Wilcoxon algorithm as hub differentially expressed transcriptional regulatory factors that promote OP progression by affecting oxidative phosphorylation, apoptosis, PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling, and p53 pathway. According to RT-PCR and immunostaining results, SIRT1 and ZNF350 levels were significantly higher in OP samples than in normal samples. CONCLUSION SIRT1 and ZNF350 are important transcriptional regulatory factors for the pathogenesis of OP and may be novel biomarkers for OP treatment.

Abstract
Rheumatic disease is a disease which is not yet fully clarified to etiology and also involved in a local pathological injury or systemic disease. With the continuous improvement of clinical medical research in recent years, the development process of rheumatic diseases has been gradually elucidated; with the intensely study of epigenetics, it is realized that environmental changes can affect genetics, among which histone acetylation is one of the essential mechanisms in epigenetics. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play an important role in regulating gene expression in various biological processes, including differentiation, development, stress response, and injury. HDACs are involved in a variety of physiological processes and are promising drug targets in various pathological conditions, such as cancer, cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, metabolic and immune disorders, and viral and parasitic infections. In this paper, we reviewed the roles of HDACs in rheumatic diseases in terms of their classification and function.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa is a common cause of inherited blindness in adults, which in many cases is associated with an increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induces DNA damage, triggering Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase 1 (PARP1) activation and leading to parthanatos-mediated cell death. Previous studies have shown that resveratrol (RSV) is a promising molecule that can mitigate PARP1 overactivity, but its low bioavailability is a limitation for medical use. This study examined the impact of a synthesized new acylated RSV prodrug, piceid octanoate (PIC-OCT), in the 661W cell line against H2O2 oxidative stress and in rd10 mice. PIC-OCT possesses a better ADME profile than RSV. In response to H2O2, 661W cells pretreated with PIC-OCT preserved cell viability in more than 38% of cells by significantly promoting SIRT1 nuclear translocation, preserving NAD+/NADH ratio, and suppressing intracellular ROS formation. These effects result from expressing antioxidant genes, maintaining mitochondrial function, reducing PARP1 nuclear expression, and preventing AIF nuclear translocation. In rd10 mice, PIC-OCT inhibited PAR-polymer formation, increased SIRT1 expression, significantly reduced TUNEL-positive cells in the retinal outer nuclear layer, preserved ERGs, and enhanced light chamber activity (all p values < 0.05). Our findings corroborate that PIC-OCT protects photoreceptors by modulating the SIRT1/PARP1 axis in models of retinal degeneration.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) has shown a significant global health concern with distinct pathological, genetic, and epigenetic characteristics. Its prevalence is influenced by various risk factors, including age, gender, and genetic predisposition. This study investigates the association between BC and the Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) gene polymorphism rs369274325 in the Turkish population. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples and genotyping of rs369274325 polymorphism in SIRT 1 was investigated in 200 individuals (in 100 Turkish bladder cancer patients and 100 healthy individuals as the control group.) by real-time PCR. Demographic information, smoking and alcohol consumption status was analyzed by statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson's Chi-square test. Smoking and alcohol consumption were significantly higher in BC patients compared to controls (p < 0.00018 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The genotypic distribution of SIRT1 rs369274325 did not show a significant difference between BC patients and controls (p = 0.5550). BC, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, has been linked to various gene mutations. SIRT1, involved in diverse physiological processes, is proposed to play a role in BC. However, our study did not find a significant association between SIRT1 rs369274325 polymorphism and BC in the Turkish population.

Abstract
Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is involved in a wide range of processes, from transcription to metabolism to genome stability. Dysregulation of SIRT2 has been associated with the pathogenesis and progression of different diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In this context, targeting SIRT2 activity by small molecule inhibitors is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating related conditions, particularly cancer. This review summarizes the regulatory roles and molecular mechanisms of SIRT2 in cancer and the attempts to evaluate potential antitumor activities of SIRT2-selective inhibitors by in vitro and in vivo testing, which are expected to deepen our understanding of the role of SIRT2 in tumorigenesis and progression and may offer important clues or inspiration ideas for developing SIRT2 inhibitors with excellent affinity and selectivity.

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

Abstract
Different dietary interventions, especially intermittent fasting, are widely used and promoted by physicians; these regimens have been studied lately for their impact on the gut microbiota composition/function and, consequently, on the general physiopathological processes of the host. Studies are showing that dietary components modulate the microbiota, and, at the same time, the host metabolism is deeply influenced by the different products resulting from nutrient transformation in the microbiota compartment. This reciprocal relationship can potentially influence even drug metabolism for chronic drug regimens, significantly impacting human health/disease. Recently, the influence of various dietary restrictions on the gut microbiota and the differences between the effects were investigated. In this review, we explored the current knowledge of different dietary restrictions on animal and human gut microbiota and the impact of these changes on human health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sirtuin6 plays an important role in the regulation of inflammation, homeostasis, and apoptosis, and it has anti-inflammatory effects on several diseases. Lipoxin A4 is a pro-resolving lipid mediator of inflammation and inhibits hypoxia-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. Considering that Lipoxin A4 and Sirtuin6 have protective effects on inflammatory diseases, the aim of this study is to determine the possible roles of these molecules on periodontitis inflammation in saliva and serum and to reveal the relationship of these data with clinical periodontal parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 20 stage III/grade B periodontitis and 20 periodontally healthy subjects were included in this cross-sectional study (all never smokers and systemically healthy). Clinical periodontal parameters (plaque index, probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment loss) were recorded. Saliva and serum levels of Sirtuin6 and Lipoxin A4 were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Serum Sirtuin6 and saliva Lipoxin A4 levels were significantly lower in the periodontitis group than the control group (respectively, p = 0.0098, p = 0.0008). There were negative correlations between all periodontal clinical parameters and saliva Lipoxin A4 level (p < 0.05) and between probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and serum and saliva Sirtuin6 levels (respectively, r = - 0.465 and r = - 0.473, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Decreased levels of serum Sirtuin6 and saliva Lipoxin A4 in periodontitis patients and their correlation with clinical periodontal parameters suggest that serum Sirtuin6 and saliva Lipoxin A4 may be related with periodontal inflammation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Scientific rationale for the study: Sirtuin6 is one of seven members of the family of NAD + dependent protein that played an important role in the regulation of inflammation, energy metabolism, homeostasis, and apoptosis. Sirtuin6 is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. Lipoxin A4 is a lipid mediator that inhibits hypoxia-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress, and it has an active role in the resolution of periodontal inflammation. No studies that investigated the potential role Sirtuin6 and its relationship with inflammation resolution and apoptosis mechanisms in severe periodontitis patients. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS the serum Sirtuin6 and saliva Lipoxin A4 levels were significantly lower and negatively correlated with clinical periodontal parameters in the patients with periodontitis than the healthy controls. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS this study shows that serum Sirtuin6 and saliva Lipoxin A4 may be candidate biomarkers related with periodontal inflammation and estimating to periodontal status.

Abstract
Significance: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important molecule synthesized from tryptophan or vitamin B3 and involved in numerous cellular reactions. NAD deficiency during pregnancy causes congenital NAD deficiency disorder (CNDD) characterized by multiple congenital malformations and/or miscarriage. Studies in genetically engineered mice replicating mutations found in human patient cases show that CNDD can be prevented by dietary supplements. Recent Advances: A growing number of patient reports show that biallelic loss-of-function of genes involved in NAD de novo synthesis (KYNU, HAAO, NADSYN1) cause CNDD. Other factors that limit the availability of NAD precursors, for example, limited dietary precursor supply or absorption, can cause or contribute to NAD deficiency and result in CNDD in mice. Molecular flux experiments allow quantitative understanding of NAD precursor concentrations in the circulation and their usage by different cells. Studies of NAD-consuming enzymes and contributors to NAD homeostasis help better understand how perturbed NAD levels are implicated in various diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Critical Issues: NAD deficiency is one of the many known causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but its prevalence in the human population and among pregnant women is unknown. Since NAD is involved in hundreds of diverse cellular reactions, determining how NAD deficiency disrupts embryogenesis is an important challenge. Future Directions: Furthering our understanding of the molecular fluxes between the maternal and embryonic circulation during pregnancy, the NAD-dependent pathways active in the developing embryo, and the molecular mechanisms by which NAD deficiency causes adverse pregnancy outcomes will provide direction for future prevention strategies.

Abstract
Background: Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase that confers resilience to cellular stress by promoting mitochondrial activity. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major driver of inflammation during sepsis. We hypothesize that Sirt3 expression improves survival in polymicrobial sepsis by mitigating the inflammatory response. Materials and Methods: Sirt3 knockout (S3KO) and wild-type (WT) mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham surgery. mRNA expression was quantified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and protein expression was quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Spectrophotometric assays were used to quantify serum markers of organ dysfunction. For in vitro studies, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were harvested from S3KO and WT mice and treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Results: After CLP, hepatic Sirt3 levels decreased from baseline by nine hours and remained depressed at 24 hours. Peak serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein levels were higher in S3KO mice. In LPS-treated BMDMs, IL-6 mRNA levels peaked earlier in S3KO cells, although peak levels were comparable to WT. Although S3KO mice had decreased median survival after CLP compared with WT, there was no difference in five-day survival or organ dysfunction. Conclusions: Although S3KO mice initially had increased inflammation and mortality, this difference abated with time, and overall survival was comparable between the groups. This pattern is consistent with the timeline of sepsis-induced Sirt3 downregulation in WT mice, and suggests that Sirt3 downregulation occurring in sepsis is at least partially responsible for the initial hyperinflammatory response and subsequent mortality. Our data support upregulation of Sirt3 as a promising therapeutic strategy for further research in sepsis.

Abstract
Aging is a complex biological process involving multiple interacting mechanisms and is being increasingly linked to environmental exposures such as wildfire smoke. In this review, we detail the hallmarks of aging, emphasizing the role of telomere attrition, cellular senescence, epigenetic alterations, proteostasis, genomic instability, and mitochondrial dysfunction, while also exploring integrative hallmarks - altered intercellular communication and stem cell exhaustion. Within each hallmark of aging, our review explores how environmental disasters like wildfires, and their resultant inhaled toxicants, interact with these aging mechanisms. The intersection between aging and environmental exposures, especially high-concentration insults from wildfires, remains under-studied. Preliminary evidence, from our group and others, suggests that inhaled wildfire smoke can accelerate markers of neurological aging and reduce learning capabilities. This is likely mediated by the augmentation of circulatory factors that compromise vascular and blood-brain barrier integrity, induce chronic neuroinflammation, and promote age-associated proteinopathy-related outcomes. Moreover, wildfire smoke may induce a reduced metabolic, senescent cellular phenotype. Future interventions could potentially leverage combined anti-inflammatory and NAD + boosting compounds to counter these effects. This review underscores the critical need to study the intricate interplay between environmental factors and the biological mechanisms of aging to pave the way for effective interventions.

Abstract
We investigated whether maternal obesity affects the hepatic mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), sirtuins, and antioxidant enzymes in young (110 postnatal days (PND)) and old (650PND) male and female offspring in a sex- and age-related manner. Female Wistar rats ate a control (C) or high-fat (MO) diet from weaning, through pregnancy and lactation. After weaning, the offspring ate the C diet and were euthanized at 110 and 650PND. The livers were collected for RNA-seq and immunohistochemistry. Male offspring livers had more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) down-regulated by both MO and natural aging than females. C-650PND vs. C-110PND and MO-110PND vs. C-110PND comparisons revealed 1477 DEGs in common for males (premature aging by MO) and 35 DEGs for females. Analysis to identify KEGG pathways enriched from genes in common showed changes in 511 and 3 KEGG pathways in the male and female livers, respectively. Mitochondrial function pathways showed ETC-related gene down-regulation. All ETC complexes, sirtuin2, sirtuin3, sod-1, and catalase, exhibited gene down-regulation and decreased protein expression at young and old ages in MO males vs. C males; meanwhile, MO females down-regulated only at 650PND. Conclusions: MO accelerates the age-associated down-regulation of ETC pathway gene expression in male offspring livers, thereby causing sex-dependent oxidative stress, premature aging, and metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), a type III histone deacetylase, is involved in various cutaneous and systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. However, little is known about the role of SIRT1 in the development of alopecia areata (AA). OBJECTIVES This study investigated whether SIRT1 regulates the hair follicle immune system and is involved in AA pathogenesis. METHODS SIRT1 expression in human scalp tissue was analyzed using immunohistochemical staining, qPCR, and western blotting. The regulatory effect of SIRT1 was evaluated after stimulation with the double-stranded RNA mimic polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) in hair follicle outer root sheath (ORS) cells and C3H/HeJ mice. RESULTS SIRT1 expression was significantly reduced in the AA scalp compared to the normal scalp. SIRT1 inhibition upregulated MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A and UL16 binding protein 3 in hair follicle ORS cells. SIRT1 inhibition also promoted the production of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ and TNF-α), IFN-inducible chemokines (CXCL9 and CXCL10), and T cell migration in ORS cells. Conversely, SIRT1 activation suppressed the autoreactive inflammatory responses. The counteractive effect of the immune response by SIRT1 was mediated through the deacetylation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of STAT3. CONCLUSION SIRT1 downregulation induces immune-inflammatory responses in hair follicle ORS cells and may contribute to AA development.

Abstract
Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase that plays key roles in a range of cellular events, including the maintenance of genome stability, gene regulation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. P53 is one of the most studied tumor suppressors and the first identified non-histone target of SIRT1. SIRT1 deacetylates p53 in a NAD+-dependent manner and inhibits its transcriptional activity, thus exerting action on a series of pathways related to tissue homeostasis and various pathological states. The SIRT1-p53 axis is thought to play a central role in tumorigenesis. Although SIRT1 was initially identified as a tumor promoter, evidence now indicates that SIRT1 may also act as a tumor suppressor. This seemingly contradictory evidence indicates that the functionality of SIRT1 may be dictated by different cell types and intracellular localization patterns. In this review, we summarize recent evidence relating to the interactions between SIRT1 and p53 and discuss the relative roles of these two molecules with regards to cancer-associated cellular events. We also provide an overview of current knowledge of SIRT1-p53 signaling in tumorigenesis. Given the vital role of the SIRT1-p53 pathway, targeting this axis may provide promising strategies for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Mitochondrial activity and quality control are essential for neuronal homeostasis as neurons rely on glucose oxidative metabolism. The ketone body, D-β-hydroxybutyrate (D-BHB), is metabolized to acetyl-CoA in brain mitochondria and used as an energy fuel alternative to glucose. We have previously reported that D-BHB sustains ATP production and stimulates the autophagic flux under glucose deprivation in neurons; however, the effects of D-BHB on mitochondrial turnover under physiological conditions are still unknown. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-activated protein deacetylases involved in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy through the activation of transcription factors FOXO1, FOXO3a, TFEB and PGC1α coactivator. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of D-BHB on mitochondrial turnover in cultured neurons and the mechanisms involved. Results show that D-BHB increased mitochondrial membrane potential and regulated the NAD+/NADH ratio. D-BHB enhanced FOXO1, FOXO3a and PGC1α nuclear levels in an SIRT2-dependent manner and stimulated autophagy, mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis. These effects increased neuronal resistance to energy stress. D-BHB also stimulated the autophagic-lysosomal pathway through AMPK activation and TFEB-mediated lysosomal biogenesis. Upregulation of SIRT2, FOXOs, PGC1α and TFEB was confirmed in the brain of ketogenic diet (KD)-treated mice. Altogether, the results identify SIRT2, for the first time, as a target of D-BHB in neurons, which is involved in the regulation of autophagy/mitophagy and mitochondrial quality control.

[PMID: 36718153 PMCID: PMC9883274 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Aging is a multifactorial degenerative process that can be modulated by fasting through activation of the Fork-head transcription factor of the O class 3 (FOXO3), which plays an important role in increasing lifespans. However, the effects of different fasting durations on the expression of FOXO3 in the liver has not yet been reported. Objective This study analyzed the effects of different fasting durations on the FOXO3 expression and its pathway by measuring sirtuin1 (SIRT1), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver. Methods New Zealand white rabbits were used to mimic the effects of fasting on humans. The rabbits were divided into the control, intermittent fasting (IF), and prolonged fasting (PF) groups. Both fasting groups were interspersed with the non-fasting phase for 8 h. This treatment was conducted for 6 days. On Day 7, all the rabbits were sacrificed, and their livers were taken to measure the FOXO3 and SIRT1 mRNA expressions, the IGF-1 protein level, and the SOD activity level. ANOVA, multiple comparison, and Pearson's correlation were performed for statistical analysis. Results The FOXO3 and SIRT1 mRNA expressions were significantly higher in the IF group than in the control group. The FOXO3 expression was also 2.5 times higher in the IF group than in the PF group. There was a positive correlation between the FOXO3 and SIRT1 mRNA expressions. The IGF-1 protein level was significantly lower in the IF and PF groups than in the control group. The SOD-specific activity level was significantly higher in the IF group than in the control and PF groups. Conclusions Intermittent fasting significantly increased the FOXO3 and SIRT1 mRNA expressions and the SOD activity level in the livers of the rabbits and significantly decreased the circulating and hepatic IGF-1. Therefore, intermittent fasting may give a protective intervention effect towards aging.

Cho SY, Roh HT. Effects of Exercise Training on Neurotrophic Factors and Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability in Young-Old and Old-Old Women. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:16896. [PMID: 36554777 PMCID: PMC9778715 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192416896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Aging and regular exercise may have opposite effects on brain health, and although oxidative stress and sirtuins may be involved in these effects, studies on this topic are limited. Accordingly, the present study aimed to verify the effect of exercise training on oxidant-antioxidant balance, neurotrophic factors, blood-brain barrier permeability, and sirtuins in young-old and old-old women. The study participants were 12 women aged 65-74 years (Young-Old group) and 12 women aged 75-84 years (Old-Old group). All of the selected participants performed exercise training consisting of treadmill walking and resistance band exercise three times a week for 12 weeks. Blood samples were collected before and after exercise training to analyze serum oxidant-antioxidant markers (reactive oxygen species [ROS], superoxide dismutase [SOD]), neurotrophic factor (brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]) levels, and blood-brain barrier permeability marker (S100 calcium-binding protein β [S100β], matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9]) levels, and sirtuin (SIRT-1, SIRT-2, SIRT-3) levels. The Young-Old group showed significantly increased SOD, BDNF, VEGF, SIRT-1, and SIRT-3 levels after training in comparison with the levels before training (p < 0.05), and a significantly higher BDNF level than the Old-Old group after training (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the Old-Old group showed significantly higher SIRT-1 levels after training in comparison with the levels before training (p < 0.05). Thus, exercise training may be effective in increasing the levels of neurotropic factors and reducing blood-brain barrier permeability in the elderly women, and increased antioxidant capacity and elevated levels of sirtuins are believed to play a major role in these effects. The positive effect of exercise may be greater in participants of relatively young age.

Abstract
Overnutrition and its sequelae have become a global concern due to the increasing incidence of obesity and insulin resistance. A ketogenic diet (KD) is widely used as a dietary treatment for metabolic disorders. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1), a metabolic sensor which regulates fat homeostasis, is modulated by dietary interventions. However, the influence of nutritional ketosis on SIRT1 is still debated. We examined the effect of KD on adipose tissue, liver, and serum levels of SIRT1 in mice. Adult C57BL/6J male mice were randomly assigned to two isocaloric dietary groups and fed with either high-fat KD or normal chow (NC) for 4 weeks. Serum SIRT1, beta-hydroxybutyrate (βHB), glucose, and triglyceride levels, as well as SIRT1 expression in visceral (VAT), subcutaneous (SAT), and brown (BAT) adipose tissues, and in the liver, were measured. KD-fed mice showed an increase in serum βHB in parallel with serum SIRT1 (r = 0.732, p = 0.0156), and increased SIRT1 protein expression in SAT and VAT. SIRT1 levels remained unchanged in BAT and in the liver, which developed steatosis. Normal glycemia and triglycerides were observed. Under a KD, serum and white fat phenotypes show higher SIRT1, suggesting that one of the molecular mechanisms underlying a KD's potential benefits on metabolic health involves a synergistic interaction with SIRT1.

SIRT1-Enriched Exosomes Derived from Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Alleviate Peripheral Neuropathy via Conserving Mitochondrial Function. J Mol Neurosci 2022; 72:2507-2516.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a highly prevalent diabetic complication characterized at the molecular level by mitochondrial dysfunction and deleterious oxidative damage. No effective treatments for DPN are currently available. The present study was developed to examine the impact of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) overexpressing sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) on DPN through antioxidant activity and the preservation of mitochondrial homeostasis. A DPN model was established using 20-week-old diabetic model mice (db/db). Exosomes were prepared from control BMSCs (exo-control) and BMSCs that had been transduced with a SIRT1 lentivirus (exo-SIRT1). Sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity values were measured to assess neurological function, and mechanical and thermal sensitivity were analyzed in these animals. Exo-SIRT1 preparations exhibited a high loading capacity and readily accumulated within peripheral nerves following intravenous administration, whereupon they were able to promote improved neurological recovery relative to exo-control treatment. DPN mice exhibited significantly improved nerve conduction velocity following exo-SIRT1 treatment. Relative to exo-control-treated mice, those that underwent exo-SIRT1 treatment exhibited significantly elevated TOMM20 and Nrf2/HO-1 expression, reduced MDA levels, increased GSH and SOD activity, and increased MMP. Together, these results revealed that both exo-control and exo-SIRT1 administration was sufficient to reduce the morphological and behavioral changes observed in DPN model mice, with exo-SIRT1 treatment exhibiting superior therapeutic efficacy. These data thus provide a foundation for future efforts to explore other combinations of gene therapy and exosome treatment in an effort to alleviate DPN.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infection has now become the world's most significant health hazard, with the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 enters the lungs through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, alters various signaling pathways, and causes immune cells to overproduce cytokines, resulting in mucosal inflammation, lung damage, and multiple organ failure in COVID-19 patients. Although several antiviral medications have been effective in managing the virus, they have not been effective in lowering the inflammation and symptoms of the illness. Several studies have found that epigallocatechin-3-gallate and melatonin upregulate sirtuins proteins, which leads to downregulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and NF-κB, protecting organisms from oxidative stress in autoimmune, respiratory, and cardiovascular illnesses. As a result, the purpose of this research is to understand more about the molecular pathways through which these phytochemicals affect COVID-19 patients' impaired immune systems, perhaps reducing hyperinflammation and symptom severity. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Polyphenols are natural secondary metabolites that are found to be present in plants. EGCG a polyphenol belonging to the flavonoid family in tea has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties that helps to counter the inflammation and oxidative stress associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Melatonin, another strong antioxidant in plants, has been shown to possess antiviral function and alleviate oxidative stress in many inflammatory diseases. In this review, we propose an alternative therapy for COVID-19 patients by supplementing their diet with these nutraceuticals that perhaps by modulating sirtuin signaling pathways counteract cytokine storm and oxidative stress, the root causes of severe inflammation and symptoms in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a hyperinflammatory response to infection that can lead to multiorgan failure and eventually death. Often, the onset of multiorgan failure is heralded by renal dysfunction. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) promotes cellular stress resilience by inhibiting inflammation and promoting mitochondrial function. We hypothesize that SIRT1 plays an important role in limiting the inflammatory responses that drive organ failure in sepsis, predominantly via expression in myeloid cells. METHODS We performed cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) on whole body SIRT1 knockout (S1KO) and myeloid cell-specific S1KO (S1KO-LysMCre) mice on a C57BL/6J background. Serum interleukin (IL)-6 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Renal mitochondrial complex activity was measured using Oxygraph-2k (Oroboros Instruments, Innsbruck, Austria). Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was measured from serum. Survival was monitored for up to 5 days. RESULTS Following CLP, S1KO mice had decreased renal mitochondrial complex I-dependent respiratory capacity (241.7 vs. 418.3 mmolO2/mg/min, p = 0.018) and renal mitochondrial complex II-dependent respiratory capacity (932.3 vs. 1,178.4, p = 0.027), as well as reduced rates of fatty acid oxidation (187.3 vs. 250.3, p = 0.022). Sirtuin 1 knockout mice also had increased BUN (48.0 mg/dL vs. 16.0 mg/dL, p = 0.049). Interleukin-6 levels were elevated in S1KO mice (96.5 ng/mL vs. 45.6 ng/mL, p = 0.028) and S1KO-LysMCre mice (35.8 ng/mL vs. 24.5 ng/mL, p = 0.033) compared with controls 12 hours after surgery. Five-day survival in S1KO (33.3% vs. 83.3%, p = 0.025) and S1KO-LysMCre (60% vs. 100%, p = 0.049) mice was decreased compared with controls. CONCLUSION Sirtuin 1 deletion increases systemic inflammation in sepsis. Renal mitochondrial dysfunction, kidney injury, and mortality following CLP were all exacerbated by SIRT1 deletion. Similar effects on inflammation and survival were seen following myeloid cell-specific SIRT1 deletion, indicating that SIRT1 activity in myeloid cells may be a significant contributor for the protective effects of SIRT1 in sepsis.

Abstract
Sirt1 is an enzyme involved in several anti-aging pathways. Associations between Sirt1, age, and body fat (BF) were assessed in master sprinters (MS; n = 35; 50.25 ±5.93 yr.), untrained young non-athletes (UY; n = 32; 23.78 ±3.98 yr.), and untrained middle-aged (UMA; n = 24; 47.29 ±8.04 yr.). BF was assessed using a skinfold protocol, and Sirt1 was measured in plasma by using commercial kits. Sirt1 of MS (17.18 ±4.77 ng/mL) was higher than UMA (6.36 ±2.29 ng/mL; p<0.0001) and did not differ from UY (20.26 ±6.20 ng/mL). Relative BF of MS was lower than UMA (12.71 ±4.07% vs. 22.13 ±4.18%; p<0.0001). Sirt1 was negatively correlated with chronological age (r =-0.735; p<0.0001) when combining UY and UMA in the analysis. However, when Sirt1 of MS and UY were analyzed together, no significant relationship between Sirt1 and chronological age was observed (r= -0.243; p=0.083). Sirt1 correlated inversely with BF (r= -0.743; p<0.0001) for UY and UMA. Stepwise multiple regression revealed that being either a young or master athlete, as well as body adiposity, are possible predictors of Sirt1 levels. MS and UY were associated with higher levels of Sirt1, while UMA and increased BF were associated with lower levels of this enzyme. The relationships among Sirt1, BF, and chronological age of young and middle-aged non-athletes were not statistically significant when the middle-aged participants were MS. These findings suggest possible links between Sirt1 and body composition, which may play roles in the rate of biological aging.Highlights Lower levels of Sirt1 are associated with higher body fat.Master Athlete lifestyle seems to promote higher Sirt1 Levels.

Abstract
Significance: Mitochondria produce most of the cellular ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Energy metabolism in the mitochondria is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS production leads to oxidative stress and compromises cellular physiology. Energy metabolism in the mitochondria depends on nutrient flux and cellular metabolic needs, which are in turn connected with the feeding/fasting cycle. In animals, the feeding/fasting cycle is controlled by the circadian clock that generates 24-h rhythms in behavior, metabolism, and signaling. Recent Advances: Here, we discuss the role of the circadian clock and rhythms in mitochondria on ROS homeostasis. The circadian clock is involved in mitochondrial ROS production and detoxification through the control of nutrient flux and oxidation, uncoupling, antioxidant defense, and mitochondrial dynamics. Critical Issues: Little is known on the molecular mechanisms of circadian control of mitochondrial functions. The circadian clock regulates the expression and activity of mitochondrial metabolic and antioxidant enzymes. The regulation involves a direct transcriptional control by Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput/brain and muscle ARNT-like 1(CLOCK/BMAL1), nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) transcriptional network, and sirtuin-dependent posttranslational protein modifications. Future Perspectives: We hypothesize that the circadian clock orchestrates mitochondrial physiology to synchronize it with the feeding/fasting cycle. Circadian coordination of mitochondrial function couples energy metabolism with diets and contributes to antioxidant defense to prevent metabolic diseases and delay aging. Antioxid.

Abstract
About 50% of the diabetic patients worldwide suffer from Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) which is characterized by chronic pain and loss of sensation, frequent foot ulcerations, and risk for amputation. Numerous factors like hyperglycemia, oxidative stress (OS), impaired glucose signaling, inflammatory responses, neuronal cell death are known to be the various mechanisms underlying DACD and DPN. Development of tolerance, insufficient and inadequate relief and potential toxicity of classical antinociceptives still remains a challenge in the clinical setting. Therefore, there is an emerging need for novel treatments which are both without any potential side effects as well as which focus more on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the disease. Also, sirtuins are known to deacetylate Nrf2 and contribute to its action of reducing ROS by generation of anti-oxidant enzymes. Therefore, targeting sirtuins could be a favourable therapeutic strategy to treat diabetic neuropathy by reducing ROS and thereby alleviating OS in DPN. In the present review, we outline the potential use of SIRT1 activators as therapeutic alternatives in treating DPN. We have tried to highlight how sirtuins are interlinked with Nrf2 and NF-κB and put forth how SIRT activators could serve as potential therapy for DPN.

Abstract
METHODS and results: Pregnant Wistar rats received diets enriched in soybean oil (SO) or OO during gestation/lactation. At birth, litters were subdivided into MS or intact groups. After weaning, the pups received standard chow until adulthood, when they were subjected to behavioral tasks. At PND90 biochemical analyses were performed. Maternal OO-enriched diet prevented MS-induced higher weight gain, and decreased MS-induced anhedonic behavior. Increased latency to immobility and shorter immobility time were observed in the maternal OO-enrich diet groups. Maternal OO-enrich diet groups also presented reduced reactive oxygen species and increased activity of antioxidant enzymes. In addition, this diet showed sex-specific effects, by decreasing mitochondrial mass and potential, reducing AMPK activation, and increasing synaptophysin and PSD-95 immunocontent in the DH of male rats. Early stress, on the other hand, decreased production of free radicals and decreased levels of SIRT1 in the DH of male rats. In females, OO prevented the anhedonic behavior induced by MS. CONCLUSIONS Maternal OO-enrich diet attenuated MS-induced depressive behavior in both sexes. In addition, it affected energy metabolism in the DH of male rats, favored synaptic plasticity, and contributed to reducing pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
The aging process is manifested by a multitude of inter-linked biological processes. These processes contribute to genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, de-regulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication. The mammalian ortholog of the yeast silent information regulator (Sir2) SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase and has been recognized to be involved in many of the forementioned processes. Furthermore, the physiological activity of several Sirtuin family members has been connected to the regulation of life span of lower organisms (Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster) as well as mammals. In the present study, we provide evidence that SIX2-positive urine derived renal progenitor cells-UdRPCs isolated directly from human urine show typical hallmarks of aging. This includes the subsequent transcriptional downregulation of SIRT1 and its downstream targets AKT and GSK3ß with increased donor age. This transcriptional downregulation is accompanied by an increase in DNA damage and transcriptional levels of several cell cycle inhibitors such as P16. We provide evidence that the renal progenitor transcription factor SIX2 binds to the coding sequence of SIRT1. Furthermore, we show that the SIRT1 promoter region is methylation sensitive and becomes methylated during aging, dividing them into SIRT1-high and -low expressing UdRPCs. Our results highlight the importance of SIRT1 in DNA damage repair recognition in UdRPCs and the control of differentiation by regulating the activation of GSK3β through AKT.

Whole-Exome Sequencing Reveals Pathogenic SIRT1 Variant in Brain Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:1689. [PMID: 36292575 PMCID: PMC9601721 DOI: 10.3390/genes13101689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations of the brain (bAVMs) are plexuses of pathological arteries and veins that lack a normal capillary system between them. Intracranial hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke) is the most frequent clinical manifestation of AVM, leading to lethal outcomes that are especially high among children and young people. Recently, high-throughput genome sequencing methods have made a notable contribution to the research progress in this subject. In particular, whole-exome sequencing (WES) methods allow the identification of novel mutations. However, the genetic mechanism causing AVM is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential genetic mechanism underlying AVM. We analyzed the WES data of blood and tissue samples of a 30-year-old Central Asian male diagnosed with AVM. We identified 54 polymorphisms in 43 genes. After in-silica overrepresentation enrichment analysis of the polymorphisms, the SIRT1 gene variant (g.67884831C>T) indicated a possible molecular mechanism of bAVM. Further studies are required to evaluate the functional impact of SIRT1 g.67884831C>T, which may warrant further replication and biological investigations related to sporadic bAVM.

SIRT5 alleviates hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury by diminishing oxidative stress and inflammation via elevating SOD1 and IDH2 expression. Exp Cell Res 2022; 419:113319. [PMID: 35995176 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2022.113319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common and unavoidable pathophysiological process during liver transplantation or resection operation, may impede postoperative liver function recovery, and its mechanism and targeted therapy remain largely unknown. SIRT5 is a well-known deacetylase and participates in the regulation of many physiological and pathological processes, including I/R. The role of SIRT5 in I/R is controversial or tissue-specific, restricting I/R progression in the heart while deteriorating injury in the kidney and brain, while its effect on hepatic I/R remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the function of SIRT5 in hepatic I/R using AAV8 and lentivirus to overexpress SIRT5 in vivo and in vitro. The data showed that SIRT5 overexpression alleviated liver I/R injury in mice and hypoxia/reoxygenation treated AML-12 cells. Moreover, gain- and loss-of-function of SIRT5, SOD1 and IDH2 experiments in AML-12 were performed. Our results demonstrated that SOD1 and IDH2 knockdown abolished the effect of SIRT5 on restraining oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, our work revealed that SIRT5 may alleviates hepatic I/R injury by diminishing oxidative stress and inflammation via up-regulating the SOD1 and IDH2 expression, which enriches the theory and therapeutic strategies of hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
Ketone bodies (KBs) and Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) have received increasing attention over the past two decades given their pivotal function in a variety of biological contexts, including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, inflammation, metabolism, neurological and cardiovascular physiology, and cancer. As a consequence, the modulation of KBs and SIRT1 is considered a promising therapeutic option for many diseases. The direct regulation of gene expression can occur in vivo through histone modifications mediated by both SIRT1 and KBs during fasting or low-carbohydrate diets, and dietary metabolites may contribute to epigenetic regulation, leading to greater genomic plasticity. In this review, we provide an updated overview of the epigenetic interactions between KBs and SIRT1, with a particular glance at their central, synergistic roles for metabolic health.

Abstract
The process of aging strongly correlates with maladaptive architectural, mechanical, and biochemical alterations that contribute to the decline in cardiac function. Consequently, aging is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the developed world. In this review, we will summarize the classic and recently uncovered pathological changes within the aged heart with an emphasis on the mitochondria. Specifically, we describe the metabolic changes that occur in the aging heart as well as the loss of mitochondrial fitness and function and how these factors contribute to the decline in cardiomyocyte number. In addition, we highlight recent pharmacological, genetic, or behavioral therapeutic intervention advancements that may alleviate age-related cardiac decline.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) pollutants impose a certain degree of destruction and toxicity to the skin. Mast cells in the skin dermis could be activated by PMs that diffuse across the blood vessel after being inhaled. Mast cell degranulation in the dermis provides a kind of inflammatory insult to local fibroblasts. In this study, we evaluated human dermal fibroblast responses to conditioned medium from KU812 cells primed with PM. We found that PM promoted the production of proinflammatory cytokines in mast cells and that the cell secretome induced reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production in dermal fibroblasts. Nicotinamide mononucleotide or coenzyme Q10 alleviated the generation of excessive ROS and mitochondrial ROS induced by the conditioned medium from PM-activated KU812 cells. PM-conditioned medium treatment increased the NF-κB expression in dermal fibroblasts, whereas NMN or Q10 inhibited p65 upregulation by PM. The reduced sirtuin 1 (SIRT 1) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related Factor 2 (Nrf2) expression induced by PM-conditioned medium was reversed by NMN or Q10 in HDFs. Moreover, NMN or Q10 attenuated the expression of senescent β-galactosidase induced by PM-conditioned KU812 cell medium. These findings suggest that NMN or Q10 ameliorates PM-induced inflammation by improving the cellular oxidative status, suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB, and promoting the levels of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory regulators Nrf2 and SIRT1 in HDFs. The present observations help to understand the factors that affect HDFs in the dermal microenvironment and the therapeutic role of NMN and Q10 as suppressors of skin aging.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a vast family of histone deacetylases, which are NAD+ dependent enzymes, consisting of seven members, namely SIRT 1, SIRT 6 and SIRT 7 located within the nucleus, SIRT 2 in the cytoplasm and SIRT 3, SIRT 4, and SIRT 5 in the mitochondria. They have vital roles in regulating various biological functions such as age-related metabolic disorders, inflammation, stress response, cardiovascular and neuronal functions. Delayed wound healing is one of the complication of diabetes, which can lead to lower limb amputation if not treated timely. SIRT 1, 3 and 6 are potent targets for diabetic wound healing. SIRT 1 deficiency reduces recruitment of fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils to wound site and delays wound healing; negatively expressing MMP-9. The SIRT 1 mediated signalling pathway in diabetic wound healing is the SIRT 1-foxo-C-Myc pathway. On the contrary SIRT 3 deficiency, impairs proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and SIRT 6 deficiency impairs wound closure rate and interrupts the vascular remodelling. This review focuses on the role of sirtuins in improving delayed wound healing in diabetes and its natural modulators with their specific functions towards healing diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Introduction: Fatty liver disease, defined by the presence of liver fat infiltration, is part of a cluster of disorders that occur in the context of metabolic syndrome. Epigenetic factors - defined as stable and heritable changes in gene expression without changes in the DNA sequence - may not only play an important role in the disease development in adulthood, but they may start exerting their influence in the prenatal stage.Areas covered: By using systems biology approaches, we review the main epigenetic modifications and highlight their likely roles in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.Expert opinion: Knowledge of the mechanisms by which epigenetic modifications participate in complex disorders would not only help scientists find novel therapeutic strategies but could also aid in implementing preventive care measures at gestation.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic or metabolic associated fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MAFLD) is a hepatic reflection of metabolic derangements characterized by excess fat deposition in the hepatocytes. Identifying metabolic regulatory nodes in fatty liver pathology is essential for effective drug targeting. Fatty liver is often associated with circadian rhythm disturbances accompanied with alterations in physical and feeding activities. In this regard, both sirtuins and clock machinery genes have emerged as critical metabolic regulators in maintaining liver homeostasis. Knockouts of either sirtuins or clock genes result in obesity associated with the fatty liver phenotype. Sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7) are a highly conserved family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases, protecting cells from metabolic stress by deacetylating vital proteins associated with lipid metabolism. Circadian rhythm is orchestrated by oscillations in expression of master regulators (BMAL1 and CLOCK), which in turn regulate rhythmic expression of clock-controlled genes involved in lipid metabolism. The circadian metabolite, NAD+ , serves as a crucial link connecting clock genes to sirtuin activity. This is because, NAMPT which is a rate limiting enzyme in NAD+ biosynthesis is transcriptionally regulated by the clock genes and NAD+ in turn is a cofactor regulating the deacetylation activity of sirtuins. Intriguingly, on one hand the core circadian clock regulates the sirtuin activity and on the other hand the activated sirtuins regulate the acetylation status of clock proteins thereby affecting their transcriptional functions. Thus, the Clock-NAD+-Sirtuin connection represents a novel "feedback loop" circuit that regulates the metabolic machinery. The current review underpins the importance of NAD+ on the sirtuin and clock connection in preventing fatty liver disorder.

Abstract
Exposure to the deleterious effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is inevitable due to their wide use in medicine and daily life. The current study aimed to delineate the histomorphological changes and the molecular mechanisms underlying the ameliorative effect of Resveratrol (RSV) on rats' livers exposed to AgNPs. Fifty healthy adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, AgNPs-exposed, RSV-treated after AgNPs exposure, and recovery groups. Liver sections were examined by light and electron microscopes, and immunohistochemistry was performed for detection of activated caspase3 and TNFα. Serum ALT and AST, plasma levels of TNFα, IL-6, GSH and SOD were measured. mRNA expression of SIRT1, ADORA3, PAI, CDK1, Nrf2 and NFκB genes in liver tissue homogenate was performed using qRT-PCR. AgNPs-exposure for 28 days caused marked liver tissue damage with trapping in hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, while RSV treatment ameliorated liver ultrastructure and function. Our results clarified the molecular basis of RSV ameliorative effect on liver tissue by significant upregulation of SIRT1-NrF2 signaling pathway with increased levels of the antioxidant GSH and SOD, which represent the antioxidant effect of RSV. Significant upregulation of the protective ADORA3 with downregulation of the proinflammatory PAI-1 and NFκB mRNA expression levels besides decreased plasma levels of TNFα, IL-6 and decreased immunoexpression of TNFα in liver tissue, represent the anti-inflammatory effect of RSV. In addition, decreased immunoexpression of caspase3 and downregulation of CDK1 expression, represent its antiapoptotic effect. In conclusion: RSV ameliorates AgNPs-induced liver damage by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects.Abbreviations: AgNPs: Silver nanoparticles, RSV: Resveratrol, ROS: Reactive oxygen species, ESR: Electron spin resonance, DMPO: 5,5-Dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide, H2O2: Hydrogen peroxide, SOD: Superoxide dismutase, CAT: Catalase, GPx: Glutathione peroxidase, MPTP: Methyl-4-phenyl-1.2.3.6-tetrahydropyridine, MDA: Malondialdehyde, TNF: Tumor necrosis factor, GSH: Glutathione, Nrf2: Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2, ARE: Antioxidant response elements, KEAP1: Kelch-1ike ECH-associated protein l, AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase, HO-1: Heme oxygenase-1, NF-κB: Nuclear factor-kappa B, SIRT1: Sirtuins, FOXO: Forkhead box, UCP2: Uncoupling protein 2, STZ: Streptozotocin nicotinamide, HSC: hepatic stellate cells, ECM: extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Both MLL-AF9 and MLL-ENL leukemia fusion proteins drive oncogenic transformation of hematopoietic cells through their N-terminal DNA/histone binding mixed-lineage leukemia 1 domain and C-terminal fragment of AF9 or ENL containing an unstructured linker region and the ANC1 homology domain, which recruits transcription factors. Despite of their structural similarity, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients bearing MLL-ENL show more adverse outcomes compared to those with MLL-AF9. We recapitulated the clinical patterns of these two MLL-fusions driven AMLs using murine models and found that MLL-ENL AML cells showed slower cell cycle progression and more resistance to standard chemotherapy than MLL-AF9 cells. These phenotypes were primarily controlled by the linker regions of ENL and a highly conserved lysine residue K469 within. Substitution of K469 with an acetylated mimic glutamine abolished the ability of MLL-ENL to suppress proliferation and promote chemo-resistance. We showed that deacetylase Sirt2 might act as an upstream regulator of MLL-ENL. Deletion of Sirt2 promoted proliferation of AML cells with either MLL fusions. Importantly, loss of Sirt2 greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the MLL-ENL AML cells to chemo-treatment. Taken together, our study uncovered a unique regulatory role of Sirt2 in leukemogenesis and suggested targeting SIRT2 as a new way to sensitize MLL-ENL AML patience for chemotherapy.

Circulating SIRT1 and Sclerostin Correlates with Bone Status in Young Women with Different Degrees of Adiposity. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14050983. [PMID: 35267956 PMCID: PMC8912833 DOI: 10.3390/nu14050983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and sclerostin play important roles in adipose tissue and bone metabolism. We evaluated the circulating SIRT1 and sclerostin relationship with mass and quality of bone while considering the degree of adiposity. Sixty-six premenopausal women (16 underweight, 25 normal weight and 25 with obesity), aged <50 years, were enrolled. Plasma SIRT1, sclerostin and DXA body composition (total fat mass (FM), abdominal visceral adipose tissue, lean mass, trabecular bone score (TBS) and lumbar spine and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD)) were assessed. The patients with obesity showed the lowest SIRT1 and TBS values and the highest sclerostin concentrations; BMD increased with FM and BMI and had an inverse association with SIRT1. Sclerostin was negatively correlated with SIRT1 (ρ = −0.37, p = 0.002). When spine BMD, FN BMD and TBS were standardized for BMI, a positive correlation with SIRT1 and a negative correlation with sclerostin were seen (p < 0.005). In the regression analysis, sclerostin was the best independent, negative predictor for BMD and TBS, while SIRT1 directly predicted TBS (p < 0.05). In conclusion, blood measurement of SIRT1 and sclerostin could represent a snapshot of the bone status that, taking into account the degree of adiposity, may reduce the interference of confounding factors in the interpretation of bone health parameters.

Abstract
SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase that is abundantly expressed in the kidney, where it modulates gene expression, apoptosis, energy homeostasis, autophagy, acute stress responses, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Alterations in SIRT1 activity and NAD+ metabolism are frequently observed in acute and chronic kidney diseases of diverse origins, including obesity and diabetes. Nevertheless, in vitro and in vivo studies and clinical trials with humans show that the SIRT1-activating compounds derived from natural sources, such as polyphenols found in fruits, vegetables, and plants, including resveratrol, quercetin, and isoflavones, can prevent disease and be part of treatments for a wide variety of diseases. Here, we summarize the roles of SIRT1 and NAD+ metabolism in renal pathophysiology and provide an overview of polyphenols that have the potential to restore SIRT1 and NAD+ metabolism in renal diseases.

Abstract
Heat stress (HS) triggers oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and disrupts growth efficiency of livestock. β-adrenergic agonists supplemented to ruminant livestock improve growth performance, increase skeletal muscle mass, and decrease carcass fat. The objective of this study was to understand the independent and interacting effects of HS and zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) supplementation on the transcriptome of subcutaneous white adipose tissue and the longissimus dorsi muscle in steers. Twenty-four Red Angus-based steers were assigned to thermoneutral (TN; Temperature Humidity Index [THI] = 68) or HS (THI = 73-85) conditions and were not supplemented or supplemented with ZH (8.33 mg/kg/d) for 21 d in a 2 × 2 factorial. Steers in the TN condition were pair-fed to the average daily feed intake of HS steers. RNA was isolated from adipose tissue and skeletal muscle samples collected via biopsy on 3, 10, and 21 d and sequenced using 3' Tag-Seq to an achieved average depth of 3.6 million reads/sample. Transcripts, mapped to ARS-UCD1.2, were quantified. Differential expression (DE) analyses were performed in DESeq2 with a significance threshold for false discovery rate of 0.05. In adipose, 4 loci (MISP3, APOL6, SLC25A4, and S100A12) were DE due to ZH on day 3, and 2 (RRAD, ALB) were DE due to the interaction of HS and ZH on day 10 (Padj < 0.05). In muscle, 40 loci (including TENM4 and OAZ1) were DE due to ZH on day 10, and 6 loci (HIF1A, LOC101903734, PDZD9, HNRNPU, MTUS1, and TMCO6) were DE due to environment on day 21 (Padj < 0.05). To explore biological pathways altered by environment, supplement, and their interaction, loci with DE (Praw < 0.05) were evaluated in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. In adipose, 509 pathways were predicted to be altered (P < 0.01): 202 due to HS, 126 due to ZH, and 181 due to the interaction; these included inflammatory pathways predicted to be upregulated due to HS but downregulated due to the interaction of HS and ZH. In muscle, 113 pathways were predicted to be altered (P < 0.01): 23 due to HS, 66 due to ZH, and 24 due to the interaction of HS and ZH. Loci and pathway data in muscle suggest HS induced oxidative stress and that the stress response was moderated by ZH. Metabolic pathways were predicted to be altered due to HS, ZH, and their interaction in both tissues. These data provide evidence that HS and ZH interact to alter expression of genes in metabolic and immune function pathways and that ZH moderates some adverse effects of HS.

Abstract
Maintaining metabolic homeostasis is essential for cellular and organismal health throughout life. Of the multiple signaling pathways that regulate metabolism, such as PI3K/AKT, mTOR, AMPK, and sirtuins, mammalian sirtuins also play unique roles in aging. By understanding how sirtuins regulate metabolic processes, we can start to understand how they slow down or accelerate biological aging. Here, we review the biology of SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5, known as the mitochondrial sirtuins due to their localization in the mitochondrial matrix. First, we will focus on canonical pathways that regulate metabolism more broadly and how these are integrated with aging regulation. Then, we will summarize the current knowledge about functional differences between SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 in metabolic control and integration in signaling networks. Finally, we will discuss how mitochondrial sirtuins regulate processes associated with aging and oxidative stress, calorie restriction and disease.

Abstract
Under physiological circumstances, there is an exquisite balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ROS degradation, resulting in low steady-state ROS levels. ROS participate in normal cellular function and in cellular homeostasis. Oxidative stress is the state of a transient or a persistent increase of steady-state ROS levels leading to disturbed signaling pathways and oxidative modification of cellular constituents. It is a key pathophysiological player in pathological hypertrophy, pathological remodeling, and the development and progression of heart failure. The heart is the metabolically most active organ and is characterized by the highest content of mitochondria of any tissue. Mitochondria are the main source of ROS in the myocardium. The causal role of oxidative stress in heart failure is highlighted by gene transfer studies of three primary antioxidant enzymes, thioredoxin, and heme oxygenase-1, and is further supported by gene therapy studies directed at correcting oxidative stress linked to metabolic risk factors. Moreover, gene transfer studies have demonstrated that redox-sensitive microRNAs constitute potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of heart failure. In conclusion, gene therapy studies have provided strong corroborative evidence for a key role of oxidative stress in pathological remodeling and in the development of heart failure.

Abstract
Mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5) are post-translational modifiers that regulate energy production, body homeostasis and mitochondrial activities via different substrates in response to environmental stressors. The present study aimed at assessing the expression of SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 in the semen of infertile men. Expression analysis was performed using q-RT PCR. All mitochondrial sirtuin genes were significantly down-regulated in the semen of infertile men compared to fertile men. Mitochondrial sirtuin genes expression levels were correlated with mitochondrial HSP90 expression. HSP90 expression was positively correlated with SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 expression in the semen of fertile men, while a negative correlation was observed between HSP90 in the semen of infertile men and mitochondrial sirtuin genes in the semen of fertile men. These data suggest that dysregulation of mitochondrial sirtuin genes causes mitochondrial dysfunction due to stress, which appears to be associated with human male infertility by compromising functional and structural sperm integrity.

Abstract
Drugs targeting epigenetic mechanisms are attracting the attention of scientists since it was observed that the modulation of this post-translational apparatus, could help to identify innovative therapeutic strategies. Among the epigenetic druggable targets, the positive modulation of SIRT1 has also been related to significant cardioprotective effects. Unfortunately, actual SIRT1 activators (natural products and synthetic molecules) suffer from several drawbacks, particularly poor pharmacokinetic profiles. Accordingly, in this article we present the development of an integrated screening platform aimed at identifying novel SIRT1 activators with favorable drug-like features as cardioprotective agents. Encompassing several competencies (in silico, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology), we describe a multidisciplinary approach for rapidly identifying SIRT1 activators and their preliminary pharmacological characterization. In the first step, we virtually screened an in-house chemical library comprising synthetic molecules inspired by nature, against SIRT1 enzyme. To this end, we combined molecular docking-based approach with the estimation of relative ligand binding energy, using the crystal structure of SIRT1 enzyme in complex with resveratrol. Eleven computational hits were identified, synthesized and tested against the isolated enzyme for validating the in silico strategy. Among the tested molecules, five of them behave as SIRT1 enzyme activators. Due to the superior response in activating the enzyme and its favorable calculated physico-chemical properties, compound 8 was further characterized in ex vivo studies on isolated and perfused rat hearts submitted to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) period. The pharmacological profile of compound 8, suggests that this molecule represents a prototypic SIRT1 activator with satisfactory drug-like profile, paving the way for developing novel epigenetic cardioprotective agents.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the regulatory role of sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) in malignant progression of multiple myeloma (MM) and the potential associated signaling pathways. In total, 30 patients with MM and 15 healthy bone marrow donors were enrolled in the current study and their bone marrow samples were collected to isolate the plasma cells. The expression levels of SIRT2 were detected in MM cell lines (KMS-28BM, U266, RPMI-8226 and NCI-H929) and normal plasma cells (collected from healthy bone marrow donors as the control) via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis. SIRT2 knockdown was established by transfecting two MM cell lines (RPMI-8226 and NCI-H929 cells) with short hairpin RNA-SIRT2 recombinant plasmid; the control group was transfected with a control recombinant plasmid. Subsequently, the effect of SIRT2 knockdown on MM cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle progression and RAS/ERK signaling was investigated via Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, RT-qPCR and western blot assays, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT2 were increased in U266 (P<0.001), KMS-28BM (P<0.001), RPMI-8226 (P<0.001) and NCI-H929 (P<0.001) cells compared with those in the control cells. In NCI-H929 and RPMI-8226 cells, cell proliferation was decreased 48 h (P<0.05) and 72 h (P<0.05) after SIRT2 knockdown. Furthermore, the cell apoptotic rate was elevated 48 h after SIRT2 knockdown (P<0.01). In addition, the percentage of cells at the G0/G1 phase was increased (P<0.01), whereas the percentage of cells at the S phase was reduced (P<0.01) 48 h after SIRT2 knockdown. The expression levels of HRAS and phosphorylated-ERK were also reduced 48 h after SIRT2 knockdown. In conclusion, SIRT2 was highly expressed in MM cell lines, and knockdown of SIRT2 inhibited MM cell proliferation, inactivated the RAS/ERK signaling pathway, and promoted cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
