Abstract
Non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly prevalent lung malignancy characterized by insidious onset, rapid progression and advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, making radical surgery impossible. Sirtuin (SIRT) is a histone deacetylase that relies on NAD+ for its function, regulating the aging process through modifications in protein activity and stability. It is intricately linked to various processes, including glycolipid metabolism, inflammation, lifespan regulation, tumor formation and stress response. An increasing number of studies indicate that SIRTs significantly contribute to the progression of NSCLC by regulating pathophysiological processes such as energy metabolism, autophagy and apoptosis in tumor cells through the deacetylation of histones or non‑histone proteins. The present review elaborates on the roles of different SIRTs and their mechanisms in NSCLC, while also summarizing novel therapeutic agents based on SIRTs. It aims to present new ideas and a theoretical basis for NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
With 8.8 million deaths worldwide, cancer is the major reason for the high rate of fatalities. Malignancy's commencement, progression, development, metastasis, and therapy resistance have all been correlated with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. EMT promotes the cancer cells' metastatic spread and starts the development of treatment resistance. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a histone deacetylase that is important for signaling, cell persistence, and apoptosis. It does this by deacetylating important cell signaling molecules and proteins that are associated with apoptosis. The function of SIRT1 in EMT and cancer progression, as well as the emerging therapeutic strategy of treating cancer through the inhibition of SIRT1 and EMT will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a protein involved in aging, cell protection, and energy metabolism in mammals. Recently, SIRT1 has been intensively studied in medical oncology, but the role of SIRT1 is still controversial, as it has been proposed as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of SIRT1 by immunohistochemistry in canine mammary tissues, and by Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis in different canine mammary cell lines. Our results showed a decrease in SIRT1 expression from normal mammary gland tissue, and from benign and well-differentiated malignant tumors (G1) to less differentiated ones (G2-G3). Furthermore, a shift in the subcellular localization of SIRT1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm was observed in less differentiated malignant tumors. However, further studies are needed to investigate the subcellular localization of SIRT1 in canine cancer cells and the role it may play in oncogenesis in animals.

Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11041076.

Abstract
Cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles have been proposed as promising potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer (BC). We performed a proteomic study of lysine acetylation of breast cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to understand the potential role of the aberrant acetylated proteins in the biology of invasive ductal carcinoma and triple-negative BC. Three cell lines were used as models for this study: MCF10A (non-metastatic), MCF7 (estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive, metastatic) and MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative, highly metastatic). For a comprehensive protein acetylation analysis of the sEVs derived from each cell line, acetylated peptides were enriched using the anti-acetyl-lysine antibody, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. In total, there were 118 lysine-acetylated peptides, of which 22, 58 and 82 have been identified in MCF10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. These acetylated peptides were mapped to 60 distinct proteins and mainly identified proteins involved in metabolic pathways. Among the acetylated proteins identified in cancer-derived sEVs from MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines are proteins associated with the glycolysis pathway, annexins and histones. Five acetylated enzymes from the glycolytic pathway, present only in cancer-derived sEVs, were validated. These include aldolase (ALDOA), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1), enolase (ENO) and pyruvate kinase M1/2 (PKM). For three of these enzymes (ALDOA, PGK1 and ENO) the specific enzymatic activity was significantly higher in MDA-MB-231 when compared with MCF10A-derived sEVs. This study reveals that sEVs contain acetylated glycolytic metabolic enzymes that could be interesting potential candidates for early BC diagnostics.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy of the endocrine system, with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) being the most common type of pathology. The incidence of PTC is increasing every year. Histone acetylation modification is an important part of epigenetics, regulating histone acetylation levels through histone acetylases and histone deacetylases, which alters the proliferation and differentiation of PTC cells and affects the treatment and prognosis of PTC patients. Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce histone acetylation, resulting in the relaxation of chromatin structure and activation of gene transcription, thereby promoting differentiation, apoptosis, and growth arrest of PTC cells.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is one of the most frequent cancers among males, and a poor survival rate reflects problems with aggressiveness and chemo-resistance. Accumulating evidence indicates that SIRT1 is involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis and is positively associated with chemo-resistance and poor prognosis. We recently synthesized water-soluble chemical derivatives of heliomycin, an antibiotic from Streptomyces resistomycificus, and demonstrated that they possess anticancer properties. In this present study, we used the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) in T24 bladder cancer cells to show that heliomycin (designated compound (H1)) and its 4-(tert-butylamino)methyl derivative (HD2) directly engaged with SIRT1 in the native cellular environment, whereas another derivative (HD3) did not. Upon binding, heliomycin downregulated SIRT1 protein expression without altering its transcript level, and subsequently induced autophagy. Interestingly, the derivative (HD2) triggered apoptosis. The interaction between SIRT1 protein and heliomycin or its derivatives was also speculated by a molecular docking simulation, suggesting heliomycin (H1) and derivative (HD2) acting with the different binding modes to SIRT1. Given the increased water-solubility, hydrogen bonds were found on Ala262 and Ile347 residues in the docked complex of derivative (HD2) to produce more steady interaction and initiate signaling pathways that were not observed in the case of heliomycin. Meanwhile, it is evident that derivative (HD3) did not engage with SIRT1 by CETSA or molecular docking studies, nor did it downregulate SIRT1 expression. Taken together, these findings clearly show that SIRT1 is targeted and downregulated by heliomycin and its water-soluble 4-aminomethylated derivative (HD2) possibly through autophagic and/or proteasomal degradation, leading to cell death and growth suppression of T24 bladder cancer cells.

Abstract
Small membrane-derived extracellular vesicles have been proposed as participating in several cancer diseases, including breast cancer (BC). We performed a phosphoproteomic analysis of breast cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to provide insight into the molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms important for breast cancer tumor progression and metastasis. We examined three cell line models for breast cancer: MCF10A (non-malignant), MCF7 (estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive, metastatic), and MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative, highly metastatic). To obtain a comprehensive overview of the sEV phosphoproteome derived from each cell line, effective phosphopeptide enrichment techniques IMAC and TiO2, followed by LC-MS/MS, were performed. The phosphoproteome was profiled to a depth of 2003 phosphopeptides, of which 207, 854, and 1335 were identified in MCF10A, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. Furthermore, 2450 phosphorylation sites were mapped to 855 distinct proteins, covering a wide range of functions. The identified proteins are associated with several diseases, mostly related to cancer. Among the phosphoproteins, we validated four enzymes associated with cancer and present only in sEVs isolated from MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines: ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), phosphofructokinase-M (PFKM), sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), and sirtuin-6 (SIRT6). With the exception of PFKM, the specific activity of these enzymes was significantly higher in MDA-MB-231 when compared with MCF10A-derived sEVs. This study demonstrates that sEVs contain functional metabolic enzymes that could be further explored for their potential use in early BC diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SIRT1 is a multifunctional protein, possibly essential in tumorigenesis pathways, which can act both as a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor depending on the oncogenes, specific to particular tumors. Pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer is multifactorial and the association of SIRT1 expression with the clinical characteristics and prognosis of LSCC has not been fully identified. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate associations between single gene nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SIRT1 (rs3818292, rs3758391, and rs7895833), serum SIRT1 levels, and 5-year survival rate in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS The study involved 302 patients with LSCC and 409 healthy control subjects. The genotyping of SNPs was performed using RT-PCR, and serum SIRT1 levels were determined by the ELISA method. RESULTS Our study found significant differences in genotype distributions of SIRT1 rs3758391 polymorphisms between the study groups. SIRT1 rs3758391 T/T genotype was associated with the increased LSCC development odds (OR = 1.960 95% CI = 1.028-3.737; p= 0.041). Carriers of SIRT1 rs3758391 T/T genotype had statistically significantly increased odds of LSCC development into advanced stages under the codominant and recessive genetic models (OR = 2.387 95% CI = 1.091-5.222; p= 0.029 and OR = 2.287 95% CI = 1.070-4.888; p= 0.033, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences in serum SIRT1 levels between the LSCC and control groups. However, LSCC patients with SIRT1 rs3818292 AG genotype demonstrated a tendency to significantly lower SIRT1 serum levels than controls (p= 0.034). No statistically significant associations between SIRT1 (rs3818292, rs3758391, and rs7895833) SNPs and the 5-year survival rate of LSCC patients were found. CONCLUSION The present study indicated a statistically significant association between the SIRT1 rs3758391 T/T genotype and increased LSCC development odds. LSCC patients with SIRT1 rs3818292 AG genotype showed a tendency to manifest with lower SIRT1 serum levels. No associations between SIRT1 SNPs and the 5-year survival rate of LSCC patients were detected.

Abstract
Epigenetics is defined as the heritable alteration of gene expression without change to the DNA sequence. Epigenetic abnormalities play a role in various diseases, including cancer. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression occurs through histone chemical modifications and DNA methylation. Lysine acetylation is one of the major histone chemical modifications essential for epigenetic gene expression. Histone acetylation is reversibly regulated by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases, which are molecular targets for cancer therapy. There has been an explosion of research in epigenetic-related drug discovery, and accordingly many small molecule compounds have been developed. Notably, several small molecule inhibitors of histone deacetylases have been approved for the treatment of cancer. This review will introduce natural products, their derivative inhibitors of histone deacetylases, and their clinical development.

Abstract
Despite the decline in death rate from breast cancer and recent advances in targeted therapies and combinations for the treatment of metastatic disease, metastatic breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-associated death in U.S. women. The invasion-metastasis cascade involves a number of steps and multitudes of proteins and signaling molecules. The pathways include invasion, intravasation, circulation, extravasation, infiltration into a distant site to form a metastatic niche, and micrometastasis formation in a new environment. Each of these processes is regulated by changes in gene expression. Noncoding RNAs including microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in breast cancer tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis by post-transcriptional regulation of target gene expression. miRNAs can stimulate oncogenesis (oncomiRs), inhibit tumor growth (tumor suppressors or miRsupps), and regulate gene targets in metastasis (metastamiRs). The goal of this review is to summarize some of the key miRNAs that regulate genes and pathways involved in metastatic breast cancer with an emphasis on estrogen receptor α (ERα+) breast cancer. We reviewed the identity, regulation, human breast tumor expression, and reported prognostic significance of miRNAs that have been documented to directly target key genes in pathways, including epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributing to the metastatic cascade. We critically evaluated the evidence for metastamiRs and their targets and miRNA regulation of metastasis suppressor genes in breast cancer progression and metastasis. It is clear that our understanding of miRNA regulation of targets in metastasis is incomplete.

Abstract
Simple Summary The prevention and treatment of cancer is an ongoing medical challenge. In the context of personalized medicine, the well-studied polyphenol resveratrol could complement classical tumor therapy. It may affect key processes such as inflammation, angiogenesis, proliferation, metastasis, glucose metabolism, and apoptosis in various cancers because resveratrol acts as a multi-targeting agent by modulating multiple signal transduction pathways. This review article focuses on resveratrol’s ability to modify tumor glucose metabolism and its associated therapeutic capacity. Resveratrol reduces glucose uptake and glycolysis by affecting Glut1, PFK1, HIF-1α, ROS, PDH, and the CamKKB/AMPK pathway. It also inhibits cell growth, invasion, and proliferation by targeting NF-kB, Sirt1, Sirt3, LDH, PI-3K, mTOR, PKM2, R5P, G6PD, TKT, talin, and PGAM. In addition, resveratrol induces apoptosis by targeting integrin, p53, LDH, and FAK. In conclusion, resveratrol has many potentials to intervene in tumor processes if bioavailability can be increased and this natural compound can be used selectively. Abstract Tumor cells develop several metabolic reprogramming strategies, such as increased glucose uptake and utilization via aerobic glycolysis and fermentation of glucose to lactate; these lead to a low pH environment in which the cancer cells thrive and evade apoptosis. These characteristics of tumor cells are known as the Warburg effect. Adaptive metabolic alterations in cancer cells can be attributed to mutations in key metabolic enzymes and transcription factors. The features of the Warburg phenotype may serve as promising markers for the early detection and treatment of tumors. Besides, the glycolytic process of tumors is reversible and could represent a therapeutic target. So-called mono-target therapies are often unsafe and ineffective, and have a high prevalence of recurrence. Their success is hindered by the ability of tumor cells to simultaneously develop multiple chemoresistance pathways. Therefore, agents that modify several cellular targets, such as energy restriction to target tumor cells specifically, have therapeutic potential. Resveratrol, a natural active polyphenol found in grapes and red wine and used in many traditional medicines, is known for its ability to target multiple components of signaling pathways in tumors, leading to the suppression of cell proliferation, activation of apoptosis, and regression in tumor growth. Here, we describe current knowledge on the various mechanisms by which resveratrol modulates glucose metabolism, its potential as an imitator of caloric restriction, and its therapeutic capacity in tumors.

Pretreatment albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio as a prognostic indicator in solid cancers: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis. Int J Surg 2020; 81:66-73. [PMID: 32745716 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2020.07.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR), a novel and economic serum biomarker, is associated with survival in patients with cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of AAPR as a prognostic indicator of solid cancers. METHODS This meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis of retrospective studies was designed to investigate the relationship between AAPR and overall survival (OS) in solid cancers. The meta-analysis included 5951 patients from 20 cohorts. The main predictor variable was AAPR, and the main outcome was OS. Statistical tests were performed using Stata 12.0, Revman 5.3, and R 3.6.1. RESULTS Compared to patients with a lower AAPR, those with a higher AAPR had a better OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43-0.58; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis by tumor type indicated that a higher AAPR was associated with a better OS in non-small cell lung cancer (HR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.26-0.78; p < 0.001), small cell lung cancer (HR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.44-0.82; p < 0.001), hepatocellular carcinoma (HR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.34-0.69; p < 0.001), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.31-0.71; p < 0.001), and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (HR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.21-0.85; p = 0.016). CONCLUSION Pretreatment AAPR may be a useful prognostic indicator in solid cancers.

[PMID: 32863939 PMCID: PMC7449925 DOI: 10.7150/thno.44688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: It has been proposed that cancer stem/progenitor cells (or tumor-initiating cells, TICs) account for breast cancer initiation and progression. Sirtuins are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent class-III histone deacetylases and mediate various basic biological processes, including metabolic homeostasis. However, interplay and cross-regulation among the sirtuin family are not fully understood. As one of the least studied sirtuin family members, the mitochondrial sirtuin SIRT4 is a tumor suppressor gene in various cancers. However, its role in cancer stemness, as well as initiation and progression of breast cancer, remains unknown. Methods: The expression of SIRT4 in breast cancer was analyzed using the TCGA breast cancer database and 3 GSEA data. Normal breast epithelial cells MCF10A and breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, BT549, MDA-MB-468 were used to establish SIRT4 gene knockdown and corresponding overexpression cells. Identified MTT cytotoxicity assays, cell invasion and motility assay, sorting of SP, confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, mouse mammary stem cell analysis, glutamine and glucose production, clonogenic and sphere-formation assay, mass spectrometric metabolomics analysis and ChIP-seq to further explore SIRT4 biological role in breast cancer. Results: We elucidated a novel role for SIRT4 in the negative regulation of mammary gland development and stemness, which is related to the mammary tumorigenesis. We also uncovered an inverse correlation between SIRT4 and SIRT1. Most importantly, SIRT4 negatively regulates SIRT1 expression via repressing glutamine metabolism. Besides, we identified H4K16ac and BRCA1 as new prime targets of SIRT4 in breast cancer. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that SIRT4 exerts its tumor-suppressive activity via modulating SIRT1 expression in breast cancer and provide a novel cross-talk between mitochondrial and nuclear sirtuins.

Expression of SIRT1, SIRT3 and SIRT6 Genes for Predicting Survival in Triple-Negative and Hormone Receptor-Positive Subtypes of Breast Cancer. Pathol Oncol Res 2020; 26:2723-2731. [PMID: 32681437 DOI: 10.1007/s12253-020-00873-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by aggressive phenotype and a poorer prognosis compared to the estrogen and progesterone receptor positive, Her2 negative (ER + PR + Her2-) breast cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that sirtuins, a family of histone deacetylases, could have an important role in aggressiveness of TNBC's. The current study evaluated the potential clinical relevance of SIRT1, SIRT3 and SIRT6 gene expressions in two prognostically distinctive subtypes of breast cancer, the most aggressive TNBC and the least aggressive ER + PR + Her2- tumors. Total RNAs were isolated from 48 TNBC and 63 ER + PR + Her2- tumor samples. Relative gene expression was determined by SYBR Green RT-PCR and delta-delta Ct method, normalized to GAPDH. Mean gene expression of both SIRT1 and SIRT3 was significantly lower in the TNBC compared to ER + PR + Her2- tumors (p = 0.0001). Low SIRT1 and SIRT6 expressions associated with worse overall survival in ER + PR + Her2- patients (p = 0.039, p = 0.006, respectively), while TNBC patients with high SIRT1 tend to have a poor prognosis (p = 0.057). In contrast, high expression of SIRT3 in TNBC patients associated with higher histological grade (p = 0.027) and worse overall survival (p = 0.039). The Cox regression analysis revealed that low SIRT1 expression could be an independent prognostic marker of poor survival in ER + PR + Her2- breast cancers (HR = 11.765, 95% CI:1.234-100, p = 0.033). Observed differential expression of SIRT1, SIRT3 and SIRT6 genes in TNBC and ER + PR + Her2- subtypes, with opposite effects on patients' survival, suggests context-dependent mechanisms underlying aggressiveness of breast cancer. Further investigations are necessary to evaluate sirtuins as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in breast cancer.

Sirtuin 1 Inhibiting Thiocyanates (S1th)-A New Class of Isotype Selective Inhibitors of NAD + Dependent Lysine Deacetylases. Front Oncol 2020; 10:657.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a NAD+ dependent lysine deacetylase associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer. In many cancer types Sirt1 expression is increased and higher levels have been associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. However, it was also shown, that Sirt1 can have tumor suppressing properties and in some instances even a dual role for the same cancer type has been reported. Increased Sirt1 activity has been linked to extension of the life span of cells, respectively, organisms by promoting DNA repair processes and downregulation of tumor suppressor proteins. This may have the downside of enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. In mice embryonic fibroblasts depletion of Sirt1 was shown to decrease levels of the DNA damage sensor histone H2AX. Impairment of DNA repair mechanisms by Sirt1 can promote tumorigenesis but also lower chemoresistance toward DNA targeting therapies. Despite many biological studies, there is currently just one small molecule Sirt1 inhibitor in clinical trials. Selisistat (EX-527) reached phase III clinical trials for treatment of Huntington's Disease. New small molecule Sirt1 modulators are crucial for further investigation of the contradicting roles of Sirt1 in cancer. We tested a small library of commercially available compounds that were proposed by virtual screening and docking studies against Sirt1, 2 and 3. A thienopyrimidone featuring a phenyl thiocyanate moiety was found to selectively inhibit Sirt1 with an IC50 of 13 μM. Structural analogs lacking the thiocyanate function did not show inhibition of Sirt1 revealing this group as key for the selectivity and affinity toward Sirt1. Further analogs with higher solubility were identified through iterative docking studies and in vitro testing. The most active compounds (down to 5 μM IC50) were further studied in cells. The ratio of phosphorylated γH2AX to unmodified H2AX is lower when Sirt1 is depleted or inhibited. Our new Sirtuin 1 inhibiting thiocyanates (S1th) lead to similarly lowered γH2AX/H2AX ratios in mouse embryonic fibroblasts as Sirt1 knockout and treatment with the reference inhibitor EX-527. In addition to that we were able to show antiproliferative activity, inhibition of migration and colony forming as well as hyperacetylation of Sirt1 targets p53 and H3 by the S1th in cervical cancer cells (HeLa). These results reveal thiocyanates as a promising new class of selective Sirt1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological cancer that is found worldwide. Class III histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, a new class of anticancer agents, induce autophagy in various human cancer cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antitumor activity of MHY2245, a new synthetic SIRT inhibitor, on human ovarian cancer cells. We found that MHY2245 exhibited potent cytotoxicity to SKOV3 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxicity of MHY2245 (IC50=0.32 µM) was higher than that of doxorubicin (DOX, IC50=1.38µM) against SKOV3 cells. MHY2245 significantly inhibited SIRT1 enzyme activity, reduced the expression of SIRT1, increased cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and induced apoptotic cell death in SKOV3 cells via expression of cytochrome c, cleaved-PARP, cleaved caspase-3, and Bax. This might be associated with blocking of the pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/mTOR pathway. MHY2245 also inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor size when SKOV3 cells were transplanted into nude mice. Our results indicate that MHY2245 exerts antitumor activity against ovarian cancer cells by blocking the PKM2/mTOR pathway. We suggest that MHY2245 is a promising anticancer agent that disrupts ovarian cancer cell metabolism.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Cigarette smoking is the most common risk factor for lung carcinoma; other risks include genetic factors and exposure to radon gas, asbestos, secondhand smoke, and air pollution. Nicotine, the primary addictive constituent of cigarettes, contributes to cancer progression through activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are membrane ligand-gated ion channels. Activation of nicotine/nAChR signaling is associated with lung cancer risk and drug resistance. We focused on nAChR pathways activated by nicotine and its downstream signaling involved in regulating apoptotic factors of mitochondria and drug resistance in lung cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that several sirtuins play a critical role in multiple aspects of cancer drug resistance. Thus, understanding the consequences of crosstalk between nicotine/nAChRs and sirtuin signaling pathways in the regulation of drug resistance could be a critical implication for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Modulation of the inflammatory response is one of the major issues of the 21st century due to its importance in the occurrence of various pathologies (cancer, autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases) and their progression over time. Whether acute or chronic, the inflammatory response is directly related to the immune response through different subtypes of T lymphocytes. In addition, among the compounds capable of modulating the cells of the immune system, resveratrol, a polyphenol with pleiotropic biological properties, seems to be a good candidate. Indeed, resveratrol is able to alter the immune response by modulating the process of lymphocyte differentiation and subsequently diminishing the inflammatory-associated response. More specifically, thanks to its ability to act as a sirtuin-1 agonist, it can deacetylate the transcription factor STAT3 and alter nuclear factors essential to the process of lymphocyte differentiation. We present and discuss these different aspects in relation to various pathologies and how the alteration of the ratios between the different lymphocyte subtypes by resveratrol is an important element to take into account when studying its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of protein deacylases and ADP-ribosyl-transferases, homologs to the yeast SIR2 protein. Seven sirtuin paralogs have been described in mammals, with different subcellular locations, targets, enzymatic activities, and regulatory mechanisms. All sirtuins share NAD+ as substrate, placing them as central metabolic hubs with strong relevance in lifespan, metabolism, and cancer development. Much effort has been devoted to studying the roles of sirtuins in cancer, providing a wealth of data on sirtuins roles in mouse models and humans. Also, extensive data are available on the effects of pharmacological modulation of sirtuins in cancer development. Here, we present a comprehensive and organized resume of all the existing evidence linking every sirtuin with cancer development. From our analysis, we conclude that sirtuin modulation after tumor initiation results in unpredictable outcomes in most tumor types. On the contrary, all genetic and pharmacological models indicate that sirtuins activation prior to tumor initiation can constitute a powerful preventive strategy.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the relationship of Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1 (SIRT1) immunostaining to urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCB) clinicopathological parameters. Methods: The study includes a total of 147 specimens composed of 122 urothelial carcinoma and 25 of non-neoplastic normal mucosae. The clinical information and the corresponding paraffin blocks of the cases were collected from the Pathology Department at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Tissue microarrays were prepared and unstained slides were cut from the recipient blocks. Immunohistochemistry study was performed using anti-human SIRT1 antibody. The study was conducted from July 2016 until May 2018. Results: In UCB, high SIRT1 immunostaining (59.8%) was greater than low SIRT1 immunostaining (40.2%). High SIRT1 immunostaining was associated with local disease recurrence (p=0.017). However, there was no relation with other clinicopathological parameters. Regression analysis demonstrated that SIRT1 overexpression is an independent predictor of local disease recurrence (p=0.002). High SIRT1 immunostaining was associated with lower overall survival (log rank [Mantel-Cox]=6.478, and p=0.011) and disease-free survival (log rank [Mantel-Cox])=4.281, and p=0.039). Conclusion: The results revealed that SIRT1 is an important prognostic factor for UBC patients and is a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Further immunohistochemical and molecular evaluations are required to explore the mechanism of action of SIRT1 and to investigate molecular downstream of this potential biomarker in UCB.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 is one of the regulators of cell growth and survival and its inhibition is suggested as a suitable mechanism to overcome breast cancer development. In this study we explored the role of miR-211-5p in SIRT1/p53 pathway and its influence on breast cancer cell viability and apoptosis. Cells were transfected with miR-211-5p mimic and inhibitor to modulate cellular miR-211-5p levels in breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Gene expression of miR-211-5p and SIRT1 were measured with real-time PCR. SIRT1 protein level and the acetylation of p53 as well as SIRT1 activity were evaluated by Western blotting and fluorometry, respectively. In order to explore the direct attachment of miR-211-5p to the 3'-UTR of SIRT1 mRNA, luciferase reporter assay was applied. Cell viability in response to miR-211-5p was studied by MTT assay and apoptosis was assessed by annexin V labeling followed by flow cytometry. Results showed that SIRT1 gene and protein expression were inhibited by miR-211-5p and the 3'-UTR of SIRT1 was found to be directly targeted by miR-211-5p. Inhibition of SIRT1 expression resulted in its reduced activity. Up-regulation of miR-211-5p was also followed by a significant decline in the acetylation status of p53 which was associated with remarkable decreased cell viability and induction of apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Antisense oligonucleotide of miR-211-5p acted as its inhibitor and exerted opposite effects both on SIRT1 expression and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, inhibition of SIRT1 by miR-211-5p could effectively reduce breast cancer cell survival and cause cell death and therefore might be considered a seemly mechanism for designing anticancer therapies.

Metformin and tenovin-6 synergistically induces apoptosis through LKB1-independent SIRT1 down-regulation in non-small cell lung cancer cells. J Cell Mol Med 2019; 23:2872-2889. [PMID: 30710424 PMCID: PMC6433689 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.14194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Revised: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is known to play a role in a variety of tumorigenesis processes by deacetylating histone and non‐histone proteins; however, antitumour effects by suppressing SIRT1 activity in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. This study was designed to scrutinize clinicopathological significance of SIRT1 in NSCLC and investigate effects of metformin on SIRT1 inhibition. This study also evaluated new possibilities of drug combination using a SIRT1 inhibitor, tenovin‐6, in NSCLC cell lines. It was found that SIRT1 was overexpressed in 300 (62%) of 485 formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded NSCLC tissues. Its overexpression was significantly associated with reduced overall survival and poor recurrence‐free survival after adjusted for histology and pathologic stage. Thus, suppression of SIRT1 expression may be a reasonable therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. Metformin in combination with tenovin‐6 was found to be more effective in inhibiting cell growth than either agent alone in NSCLC cell lines with different liver kinase B1 (LKB1) status. In addition, metformin and tenovin‐6 synergistically suppressed SIRT1 expression in NSCLC cells regardless of LKB1 status. The marked reduction in SIRT1 expression by combination of metformin and tenovin‐6 increased acetylation of p53 at lysine 382 and enhanced p53 stability in LKB1‐deficient A549 cells. The combination suppressed SIRT1 promoter activity more effectively than either agent alone by up‐regulating hypermethylation in cancer 1 (HIC1) binding at SIRT1 promoter. Also, suppressed SIRT1 expression by the combination synergistically induced caspase‐3‐dependent apoptosis. The study concluded that metformin with tenovin‐6 may enhance antitumour effects through LKB1‐independent SIRT1 down‐regulation in NSCLC cells.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs), class III histone deacetylases, are differentially expressed in several human cancers, where they display both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive properties depending on cellular context and experimental conditions. SIRTs are involved in many important biological processes and play a critical role in cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. A growing body of evidence indicates the involvement of SIRTs in regulating three important tumor processes: epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion, and metastasis. Many SIRTs are responsible for cellular metabolic reprogramming and drug resistance by inactivating cell death pathways and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the role of SIRTs in cancer and discuss their puzzling dual function as tumor suppressors and tumor promoters, important for the future development of novel tailored SIRT-based cancer therapies.

Abstract
Background: Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is an evolutionarily conserved enzymes with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+-dependent deacetylase activity. SIRT1 is involved in a large variety of cellular processes, such as genomic stability, energy metabolism, senescence, gene transcription, and oxidative stress. SIRT1 has long been recognized as both a tumor promoter and tumor suppressor. Its prognostic role in cancers remains controversial. Methods: A meta-analysis of 13,138 subjects in 63 articles from PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was performed to evaluate survival and clinicopathological significance of SIRT1 expression in various cancers. Results: The pooled results of meta-analysis showed that elevated expression of SIRT1 implies a poor overall survival (OS) of cancer patients [Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.566, 95% CI: 1.293-1.895, P < 0.0001], disease free survival (DFS) (HR = 1.631, 95% CI: 1.250-2.130, P = 0.0003), event free survival (EFS) (HR = 2.534, 95% CI: 1.602-4.009, P = 0.0001), and progress-free survival (PFS) (HR = 3.325 95% CI: 2.762-4.003, P < 0.0001). Elevated SIRT1 level was associated with tumor stage [Relative Risk (RR) = 1.299, 95% CI: 1.114-1.514, P = 0.0008], lymph node metastasis (RR = 1.172, 95% CI: 1.010-1.360, P = 0.0363), and distant metastasis (RR = 1.562, 95% CI: 1.022-2.387, P = 0.0392). Meta-regression and subgroup analysis revealed that ethnic background has influence on the role of SIRT1 expression in predicting survival and clinicopathological characteristics of cancers. Overexpression of SIRT1 predicted a worse OS and higher TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis in Asian population especially in China. Conclusion: Our data suggested that elevated expression of SIRT1 predicted a poor OS, DFS, EFS, PFS, but not for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CCS). SIRT1 overexpression was associated with higher tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis. SIRT1-mediated molecular events and biological processes could be an underlying mechanism for metastasis and SIRT1 is a therapeutic target for inhibiting metastasis, leading to good prognosis.

Is co-expression of USP22 and HSP90 more effective in predicting prognosis of gastric cancer? Pathol Res Pract 2018; 215:653-659.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) belongs to the largest subfamily of deubiquitylases and recent studies indicate that overexpression of USP22 may promote gastric cancer progression and predict prognosis. But little is known about the interaction network of USP22 in gastric cancer. In this study, we applied bioinformatics methods and found that USP22 was correlated with the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) which is now considered to be a biomarker to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer. Then the siRNA transfection and western blotting were used to testify the correlation of USP22 and HSP90 in gastric cancer cells. The immunohistochemistry staining of the microarrays was applied to confirm the correlation of USP22 and HSP90 expression in gastric cancer tissue and further analysis showed that co-expression of USP22 and HSP90 was related to lymph node metastasis and more effective in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer. In summary, our data demonstrate that correlation exists between USP22 and HSP90 expressions in gastric cancer and co-expression of USP22 and HSP90 may be more effective in predicting prognosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
SIRT1 is a protein deacetylase with a broad range of biological functions, many of which are known to be important in carcinogenesis, however much of the literature regarding the role of SIRT1 in cancer remains conflicting. In this study we assessed the effect of SIRT1 on the initiation and progression of thymic T cell lymphomas. We employed mouse strains in which SIRT1 activity was absent or could be reversibly modulated in conjunction with thymic lymphoma induction using either the N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) carcinogenesis or the nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (NPM-ALK) transgene. Decreased SIRT1 activity reduced the development of thymic lymphomas in the NMU-treated mice but was permissive for the formation of lung adenomas. Conversely, in the NPM-ALK transgenic mice, decreased SIRT1 activity had a modest promoting effect in the development of thymic lymphomas. The results of the work presented here add to the growing body of evidence that sirt1 is neither an outright oncogene nor a tumor suppressor. These opposing results in two models of the same disease suggest that the influence of sirt1 on carcinogenesis may lie in a role in tumor surveillance.

Oncotarget 2018; 9:30661-30678.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. It is well established that the complexity of carcinogenesis involves profound epigenetic deregulations that contribute to the tumorigenesis process. Deregulated H3 and H4 acetylated histone marks are amongst those alterations. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a class-III histone deacetylase deeply involved in apoptosis, genomic stability, gene expression regulation and breast tumorigenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanism by which SIRT1 regulates H3 and H4 acetylated marks, and consequently cancer-related gene expression in breast cancer, remains uncharacterized. In this study, we elucidated SIRT1 epigenetic role and analyzed the link between the latter and histones H3 and H4 epigenetic marks in all 5 molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Using a cohort of 135 human breast tumors and their matched normal tissues, as well as 5 human-derived cell lines, we identified H3k4ac as a new prime target of SIRT1 in breast cancer. We also uncovered an inverse correlation between SIRT1 and the 3 epigenetic marks H3k4ac, H3k9ac and H4k16ac expression patterns. We showed that SIRT1 modulates the acetylation patterns of histones H3 and H4 in breast cancer. Moreover, SIRT1 regulates its H3 acetylated targets in a subtype-specific manner. Furthermore, SIRT1 siRNA-mediated knockdown increases histone acetylation levels at 6 breast cancer-related gene promoters: AR, BRCA1, ERS1, ERS2, EZH2 and EP300. In summary, this report characterizes for the first time the epigenetic behavior of SIRT1 in human breast carcinoma. These novel findings point to a potential use of SIRT1 as an epigenetic therapeutic target in breast cancer.

Abstract
Background Several studies have explored the prognostic value of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in various cancers, but obtained inconsistent results. The current systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the association between SIRT3 expression and prognosis in various cancers. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were comprehensively retrieved by the end of September 29, 2017. All the relevant studies were checked and included in the meta-analysis if they met the inclusion criteria. Results A total of 17 studies involving 2,865 patients were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The results indicated that SIRT3 expression was not significantly associated with overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR]=0.87, 95% CI=0.59–1.29, P=0.50) and disease-free survival (HR=0.87, 95% CI=0.57–1.31, P=0.50) in total various cancers. However, significant relationship between SIRT3 expression and OS in specific cancers was detected, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (HR=0.48, 95% CI=0.26–0.89, P=0.019), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (HR=0.56, 95% CI=0.42–0.74, P<0.001), pancreatic carcinoma (PC) (HR=0.55, 95% CI=0.30–1.00, P=0.049), renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (HR=0.13, 95% CI=0.02–0.98, P=0.048), breast cancer (BC) (HR=2.53, 95% CI=1.83–3.67, P<0.001), colon cancer (CC) (HR=1.87, 95% CI=1.12–3.26, P=0.022) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (HR=2.20, 95% CI=1.38–3.50, P=0.001). Moreover, SIRT3 expression was obviously associated with tumor size (odds ratio [OR]=1.41, 95% CI=1.02–1.94, P=0.04), tumor differentiation (OR=1.52, 95% CI=1.08–2.16, P=0.02) and clinical stage (OR=2.07, 95% CI=1.23–3.46, P=0.01) in HCC. Conclusion SIRT3 was distinctly related to the OS in specific cancers. SIRT3 was an unfavorable prognostic factor in BC, CC and NSCLC; however, it was also a favorable prognostic factor in CLL, HCC, PC and RCC, especially in HCC.

Abstract
Objectives 1) Analyze the correlation of SIRT1 and Src with human breast cancer (BC) prognosis; 2) explore the roles of SIRT1 and Src in BC cell proliferation, tumor invasion, and metastasis; and 3) analyze the correlation and interaction between SIRT1 and Src. Materials and methods 1) Tissue microarray was used to analyze the expression of SIRT1 and Src in human BC tissues and the correlation between protein expression and cancer prognosis; 2) CCK8 assay was used to determine the influence of SIRT1 and Src inhibitors on BC cell proliferation; 3) Transwell migration assay and wound healing assay were used to determine the effect of SIRT1 and Src inhibitors on BC cell migration and invasion; and 4) Western blotting was used to analyze the correlation and interaction between SIRT1 and Src. Results 1) Combination of SIRT1 and/or Src positivity is a prognosis factor in BC, especially in luminal type; 2) MCF-7 cell proliferation is suppressed by SIRT1 inhibitor Ex527, and cell migration and invasion were inhibited by Src inhibitor bosutinib; 3) combined with Ex527, bosutinib has a significantly increased effect on MCF-7 cell migration suppression; and 4) there is a positive association between SIRT1 and Src both in BC tissues and in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion 1) SIRT1 and Src overexpression are both correlated with poor prognosis in human BC; 2) SIRT1 + Src (SIRT1 and/or Src positivity) is a fine prognosis model for luminal-type BC; 3) SIRT1 is a copromotor of Src in BC migration and invasion, but not in cell proliferation; and 4) our results suggest a potential interaction or a common regulation pathway between SIRT1 and Src expression and activity.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains a significant female mortality cause. It constitutes a multifactorial disease for which research on environmental factors offers little help in predicting onset or progression. The pursuit for its foundations by analyzing hormonal changes as a motive for disease development, indicates that increased exposure to estrogens associates with increased risk. A prevalent number of breast cancer cases show dependence on the increased activity of the classic nuclear estrogen receptor (ER) for cell proliferation and survival. SIRT1 is a Type III histone deacetylase which is receiving increasing attention due to its ability to perform activities over relevant non-histone proteins and transcription factors. Interestingly, concomitant SIRT1 overexpression is commonly found in ER-positive breast cancer cases. Both proteins had been shown to directly interact, in a process related to altered intracellular signaling and aberrant transcription, then promoting tumor progression. Moreover, SIRT1 activities had been also linked to estrogenic effects through interaction with the G-protein coupled membrane bound estrogen receptor (GPER). This work aims to summarize present knowledge on the interplay between SIRT1 and ER/GPER for breast cancer onset and progression. Lastly, evidences on the ability of SIRT1 to interact with TGFß signaling, a concurrent pathway significantly involved in breast cancer progression, are reported. The potential of this research field for the development of innovative strategies in the assessment of orphan breast cancer subtypes, such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), is discussed.

Abstract
Mammalian silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is reported to play a role in cancers of the secretory organs, including thyroid, pancreatic endocrine, and ovarian tumors [1, 2, 3, 4]. A recent meta-analysis conducted on 37 selected studies of human cancers analyzed the correlations of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) with SIRT1 expression [5]. This study reported that SIRT1 overexpression was associated with a worse OS in liver and lung cancers, while it was not correlated with OS in breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or gastric carcinoma. Collectively, the meta-analysis revealed that an unfavorable OS was associated with SIRT1 expression for solid malignancies. Given the growing importance of this class of lysine/histone deacetylases in human endocrine malignancies, a rational and focused literature assessment is desirable in light of future clinical translations.

Oncotarget 2017; 8:110922-110930.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. SIRT1 (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 1 is a class-III histone deacetylase involved in apoptosis regulation, DNA repair and tumorigenesis. However, its role in breast carcinoma remains controversial, as both tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting functions have been reported. Also, there are very few reports available where expression of SIRT1 is comprehensively analyzed in breast tumors classified by molecular subtype. Here, using a cohort of 50 human breast tumors and their matched normal tissues, we investigated SIRT1 expression levels in the 5 molecular subtypes of breast cancer according to the St Gallen classification (2013). Tumors and their corresponding normal tissue samples were collected from all patients, and SIRT1 mRNA and protein expression levels were then examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting, respectively. After statistical analysis, the results showed a dual expression profile of SIRT1 in human breast carcinoma, with significant overexpression in luminal and HER2-enriched subtypes and significantly reduced expression in the triple-negative subtype. We also found an inverse correlation between SIRT1 expression and breast cancer aggressivity. These novel findings suggest that SIRT1 plays a dual role in breast tumors depending on its expression rate and the molecular subtype of the cancer. Our data also point to a potential role for SIRT1 as a prognostic biomarker in breast cancer.

[PMID: 29088792 PMCID: PMC5650347 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.20799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2016] [Accepted: 08/23/2017] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To evaluate the associations of sirtuins (SIRT1-7) with clinicopathological parameters in gastric cancer, sirtuins expression profile in NCBI GEO datasets, GSE62254 and GSE15459, was integrated and analyzed. The results suggested that SIRT4, SIRT6, and SIRT7 were associated with Lauren classification and SIRT3-5 were associated with pStage in gastric cancer. Then an online database derived from 1,065 gastric cancer cases, Kaplan-Meier plotter, was used to explore the associations of the mRNA levels of sirtuins with overall survival in gastric cancer. Survival curves generated from Kaplan-Meier plotter suggested that high expression of SIRT1 mRNA was favorable for overall survival in gastric cancer (SIRT1: HR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.54–0.76, P = 2.2E-07), high expressions of SIRT2-4 and SIRT6-7 were poor for overall survival (SIRT2: HR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.87–2.87, P = 3.6E-15; SIRT3: HR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.62–2.45, P = 2.6E-11; SIRT4: HR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.19–1.68, P = 6.6E-05; SIRT6: HR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.66–2.47, P = 1.7E-12; SIRT7: HR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.63–2.35, P = 2.7E-13), whereas no significant association existed between SIRT5 mRNA expression and overall survival. Further analyses stratified by gender, stages, Lauren classification, differentiation, treatment, and HER2 status were also performed. In summary, high SIRT1 mRNA level was associated with better overall survival, SIRT2-4 and 6–7 were associated with poor overall survival, whereas SIRT5 did not show significant association with overall survival in gastric cancer.
