[PMID: 39085939 DOI: 10.1111/cbdd.14595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Inhibition of SIRT3 exhibited potency in triggering leukemic cell differentiation. In discovery of potent SIRT3 inhibitors for cancer differentiation therapy, structural modification was performed on the previously developed lead compound P6. A total of 33 compounds were designed and synthesized. In the enzyme inhibitory assay, several molecules S18, S26, S27 and T5 showed potent SIRT3 inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 0.53, 1.86, 5.06, and 2.88 μM, respectively. Moreover, the tested compounds exhibited SIRT3 inhibitory selectivity over SIRT1 and SIRT2. Compounds S27 and T5 were potent in inhibition the growth of MM1.S and RPMI-8226 cells in the in vitro antiproliferative test. Significantly, representative compounds, especially S27 and T5, promoted differentiation of tested MM cells in the cellular morphological evaluation, accompanied by increasing the expression of differentiation antigen CD49e and human immunoglobulin light chain lambda and kappa. Additionally, molecule S18 without antiproliferative potency itself, showed significant inhibitory activity against growth factor IL-6 induced RPMI-8226 cell proliferation. Collectively, potent SIRT3 selective inhibitors with MM cell differentiation potency were developed for further discovery of anticancer drugs.

Goes JVC, Viana MDA, Sampaio LR, Cavalcante CBA, Melo MMDL, de Oliveira RTG, Borges DDP, Gonçalves PG, Pinheiro RF, Ribeiro-Junior HL. Gene expression patterns of Sirtuin family members (SIRT1 TO SIRT7): Insights into pathogenesis and prognostic of Myelodysplastic neoplasm. Gene 2024; 915:148428. [PMID: 38575099 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
To assess and validate the gene expression profile of SIRTs (SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT6, and SIRT7) in relation to the pathogenesis and prognostic progression of Myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS). Eighty bone marrow samples of patients with de novo MDS were diagnosed according to WHO 2022 and IPSS-R criteria. Ten bone marrow samples were obtained from elderly healthy volunteers and used as control samples. Gene expression levels of all SIRTs were assessed using RT-qPCR assays. Downregulation of SIRT2 (p = 0.009), SIRT3 (p = 0.048), SIRT4 (p = 0.049), SIRT5 (p = 0.046), SIRT6 (p = 0.043), and SIRT7 (p = 0.047) was identified in MDS patients compared to control individuals. Also, we identified that while SIRT2-7 genes are typically down-regulated in MDS patients compared to normal controls, there are relative expression variations among MDS patient subgroups. Specifically, SIRT4 (p = 0.029) showed increased expression in patients aged 60 or above, and both SIRT2 (p = 0.016) and SIRT3 (p = 0.036) were upregulated in patients with hemoglobin levels below 8 g/dL. SIRT2 (p = 0.045) and SIRT3 (p = 0.033) were highly expressed in patients with chromosomal abnormalities. Different SIRTs exhibited altered expression patterns concerning specific MDS clinical and prognostic characteristics. The downregulation in SIRTs genes (e.g., SIRT2 to SIRT7) expression in Brazilian MDS patients highlights their role in the disease's development. The upregulation of SIRT2 and SIRT3 in severe anemia patients suggests a potential link to manage iron overload-related complications in transfusion-dependent patients. Moreover, the association of SIRT2/SIRT3 with genomic instability and their role in MDS progression signify promising areas for future research and therapeutic targets. These findings underscore the importance of SIRT family in understanding and addressing MDS, offering novel clinical, prognostic, and therapeutic insights for patients with this condition.

Pharmacological Activation of SIRT3 Modulates the Response of Cancer Cells to Acidic pH. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:810.

Abstract
Cancer cells modulate their metabolism, creating an acidic microenvironment that, in turn, can favor tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. Tumor cells adopt strategies to survive a drop in extracellular pH (pHe). In the present manuscript, we investigated the contribution of mitochondrial sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) to the adaptation and survival of cancer cells to a low pHe. SIRT3-overexpressing and silenced breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells were grown in buffered and unbuffered media at pH 7.4 and 6.8 for different times. mRNA expression of SIRT3 and CAVB, was measured by RT-PCR. Protein expression of SIRT3, CAVB and autophagy proteins was estimated by western blot. SIRT3-CAVB interaction was determined by immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays (PLA). Induction of autophagy was studied by western blot and TEM. SIRT3 overexpression increases the survival of both cell lines. Moreover, we demonstrated that SIRT3 controls intracellular pH (pHi) through the regulation of mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase VB (CAVB). Interestingly, we obtained similar results by using MC2791, a new SIRT3 activator. Our results point to the possibility of modulating SIRT3 to decrease the response and resistance of tumor cells to the acidic microenvironment and ameliorate the effectiveness of anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Sirtuins are pivotal in orchestrating numerous cellular pathways, critically influencing cell metabolism, DNA repair, aging processes, and oxidative stress. In recent years, the involvement of sirtuins in tumor biology has garnered substantial attention, with a growing body of evidence underscoring their regulatory roles in various aberrant cellular processes within tumor environments. This article delves into the sirtuin family and its biological functions, shedding light on their dual roles-either as promoters or inhibitors-in various cancers including oral, breast, hepatocellular, lung, and gastric cancers. It further explores potential anti-tumor agents targeting sirtuins, unraveling the complex interplay between sirtuins, miRNAs, and chemotherapeutic drugs. The dual roles of sirtuins in cancer biology reflect the complexity of targeting these enzymes but also highlight the immense therapeutic potential. These advancements hold significant promise for enhancing clinical outcomes, marking a pivotal step forward in the ongoing battle against cancer.

Abstract
The sirtuin (SIRT) family is well-known as a group of deacetylase enzymes that rely on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Among them, mitochondrial SIRTs (SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5) are deacetylases located in mitochondria that regulate the acetylation levels of several key proteins to maintain mitochondrial function and redox homeostasis. Mitochondrial SIRTs are reported to have the Janus role in tumorigenesis, either tumor suppressive or oncogenic functions. Although the multi-faceted roles of mitochondrial SIRTs with tumor-type specificity in tumorigenesis, their critical functions have aroused a rising interest in discovering some small-molecule compounds, including inhibitors and activators for cancer therapy. Herein, we describe the molecular structures of mitochondrial SIRTs, focusing on elucidating their regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis, and further discuss the recent advances in developing their targeted small-molecule compounds for cancer therapy. Together, these findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the crucial roles of mitochondrial SIRTs in cancer and potential new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoresistance is a challenging barrier to cancer therapy, and in this context, the role of mitochondria is significant. We put emphasis on key biological characteristics of mitochondria, contributing to tumor escape from various therapies, to find the "Achilles' Heel" of cancer cells for future drug design. RECENT FINDINGS The mitochondrion is a dynamic organelle, and its existence is important for tumor growth. Its metabolites also cooperate with cell signaling in tumor proliferation and drug resistance. CONCLUSION Biological characteristics of this organelle, such as redox balance, DNA depletion, and metabolic reprogramming, provide flexibility to cancer cells to cope with therapy-induced stress.

Honokiol, an inducer of sirtuin-3, protects against non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastric mucosal mitochondrial pathology, apoptosis and inflammatory tissue injury. Br J Pharmacol 2023; 180:2317-2340. [PMID: 36914615 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mitochondrial oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis primarily underlie gastric mucosal injury caused by the widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Alternative gastroprotective strategies are therefore needed. Sirtuin-3 pivotally maintains mitochondrial structural integrity and metabolism while preventing oxidative stress; however, its relevance to gastric injury was never explored. Here, we have investigated whether and how sirtuin-3 stimulation by the phytochemical, honokiol, could rescue NSAID-induced gastric injury. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Gastric injury in rats induced by indomethacin was used to assess the effects of honokiol. Next-generation sequencing-based transcriptomics followed by functional validation identified the gastroprotective function of sirtuin-3. Flow cytometry, immunoblotting, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used measure effects on oxidative stress, mitochondrial dynamics, electron transport chain function, and markers of inflammation and apoptosis. Sirtuin-3 deacetylase activity was also estimated and gastric luminal pH was measured. KEY RESULTS Indomethacin down-regulated sirtuin-3 to induce oxidative stress, mitochondrial hyperacetylation, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 depletion, mitochondrial DNA damage, respiratory chain defect and mitochondrial fragmentation leading to severe mucosal injury. Indomethacin dose-dependently inhibited sirtuin-3 deacetylase activity. Honokiol prevented mitochondrial oxidative damage and inflammatory tissue injury by attenuating indomethacin-induced depletion of both sirtuin-3 and its transcriptional regulators PGC1α and ERRα. Honokiol also accelerated gastric wound healing but did not alter gastric acid secretion, unlike lansoprazole. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Sirtuin-3 stimulation by honokiol prevented and reversed NSAID-induced gastric injury through maintaining mitochondrial integrity. Honokiol did not affect gastric acid secretion. Sirtuin-3 stimulation by honokiol may be utilized as a mitochondria-based, acid-independent novel gastroprotective strategy against NSAIDs.

Downregulation of mitochondrial complex I induces ROS production in colorectal cancer subtypes that differently controls migration. J Transl Med 2023; 21:522. [PMID: 37533102 PMCID: PMC10398918 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04341-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be classified into four molecular subtypes (CMS) among which CMS1 is associated with the best prognosis, while CMS4, the mesenchymal subtype, has the worst outcome. Although mitochondria are considered to be hubs of numerous signaling pathways, the study of mitochondrial metabolism has been neglected for many years. Mitochondrial Complex I (CI) plays a dual role, both in energy and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the possible contribution of CI to tumorigenesis in cancer remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the CI under the prism of the CMS classification of CRC in ex vivo models. METHODS Biochemical dosages, bioenergetics analysis and western-blot were used to characterize CI expression, function and redox balance in LoVo and MDST8 cell lines, belonging to CMS1 and CMS4 subgroups, respectively. Cell proliferation and migration were assessed by xCELLigence technology. Overproduction or scavenging of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) were performed to analyze the effect of mtROS on proliferation, migration, and mesenchymal markers. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its activation were analyzed by immunofluorescence. We assessed the distribution of two CI scores in CRC cohorts according to CMS classification and their relevance for patient survival. RESULTS We found that CI is downregulated in CMS4 cells and is associated with elevated mtROS. We establish for the first time that in these migrating cells, mtROS production is maintained at optimal levels not only through changes in CI activity but also by inactivation/acetylation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), a major mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme. We show that promoting or scavenging mtROS both mitigate CMS4 cells' migration. Our results also point to a mtROS-mediated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation, which likely sustains their migratory phenotype. Using cohorts of CRC patients, we document that the expression of CI is downregulated in the CMS4 subgroup, and that low CI expression is associated with poor prognosis. Patients' datasets reveal an inverse correlation between CI and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. CONCLUSION We showed that inhibition of CI contributes to heighten mtROS, which likely foster MDST8 migration and might account for the specific EMT signature of CMS4 tumors. These data reveal a novel role of mitochondrial CI in CRC, with biological consequences that may be targeted with anti- or pro-oxidant drugs in clinical practice.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2023; 1870:119411.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3), a mitochondrial deacetylase, regulates mitochondrial redox homeostasis and autophagy and is involved in physiological and pathological processes such as aging, cellular metabolism, and tumorigenesis. We here investigate how Sirt3 regulates doxorubicin (DOX)-induced senescence in lung cancer A549 cells. Sirt3 greatly reduced DOX-induced upregulation of senescence marker proteins p53, p16, p21 and SA-β-Gal activity as well as ROS levels. Notably, Sirt3 reversed DOX-induced autophagic flux blockage, as shown by increased p62 degradation and LC3II/LC3I ratio. Importantly, the autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ) partially abolished the antioxidant stress and antiaging effects of Sirt3, while the autophagy activator rapamycin (Rap) potentiated these effects of Sirt3, demonstrating that autophagy mediates the anti-aging effects of Sirt3. Additionally, Sirt3 inhibited the DOX-induced activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, which in turn activated autophagy. The PI3K inhibitor LY294002 promoted the antioxidant stress and antiaging effects of Sirt3, while the AKT activator SC-79 reversed these effects of Sirt3. Taken together, Sirt3 counteracts DOX-induced senescence by improving autophagic flux.

Abstract
Ferroptosis represents a novel non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death that is driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and plays vital roles in various diseases including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. Plenty of iron metabolism-related proteins, regulators of lipid peroxidation, and oxidative stress-related molecules are engaged in ferroptosis and can regulate this complex biological process. Sirtuins have broad functional significance and are targets of many drugs in the clinic. Recently, a growing number of studies have revealed that sirtuins can participate in the occurrence of ferroptosis by affecting many aspects such as redox balance, iron metabolism, and lipid metabolism. This article reviewed the studies on the roles of sirtuins in ferroptosis and the related molecular mechanisms, highlighting valuable targets for the prevention and treatment of ferroptosis-associated diseases.
