Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an enzyme that relies on NAD+ cofactor and functions as a deacetylase. It has been associated with various biological and pathological processes, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have shown that compounds that activate SIRT1 exhibit protective effects on the heart. Consequently, targeting SIRT1 has emerged as a viable approach to treat cardiovascular diseases, leading to the identification of several SIRT1 activators derived from natural or synthetic sources. In this study, we developed anilinopyridine-based SIRT1 activators that displayed significantly greater potency in activating SIRT1 compared to the reference compound resveratrol, as demonstrated in enzymatic assays. In particular, compounds 8 and 10, representative 6-aryl-2-anilinopyridine derivatives from this series, were further investigated pharmacologically and found to reduce myocardial damage caused by occlusion and subsequent reperfusion in vivo, confirming their cardioprotective properties. Notably, the cardioprotective effects of 8 and 10 were significantly superior to that of resveratrol. Significantly, compound 10 emerged as the most potent among the tested compounds, demonstrating the ability to substantially decrease the size of the ischemic area at a dosage one hundred times lower (0.1 mg kg-1) than that of resveratrol/compound 1. These promising findings open avenues for expanding and optimizing this chemical class of potent SIRT1 activators as potential agents for cardioprotection.

Nesting and fate of transplanted stem cells in hypoxic/ischemic injured tissues: The role of HIF1α/sirtuins and downstream molecular interactions. Biofactors 2023; 49:6-20.

Abstract
The nesting mechanisms and programming for the fate of implanted stem cells in the damaged tissue have been critical issues in designing and achieving cell therapies. The fracture site can induce senescence or apoptosis based on the surrounding harsh conditions, hypoxia, and oxidative stress (OS). Respiration deficiency, disruption in energy metabolism, and consequently OS induction change the biophysical, biochemical, and cellular components of the native tissue. Additionally, the homeostatic molecular players and cell signaling might be changed. Despite all aforementioned issues, in the native stem cell niche, physiological hypoxia is not toxic; rather, it is vitally required for homing, self-renewal, and differentiation. Hence, the key macromolecular players involved in the support of stem cell survival and re-adaptation to a new dysfunctional niche must be understood for managing the cell therapy outcome. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha is the master transcriptional regulator, involved in the cell response to hypoxia and the adaptation of stem cells to a new niche. This protein is regulated by interaction with sirtuins. Sirtuins are highly conserved NAD+-dependent enzymes that monitor the cellular energy status and modulate gene transcription, genome stability, and energy metabolism in response to environmental signals to modulate the homing and fate of stem cells. Herein, new insights into the nesting of stem cells in hypoxic-ischemic injured tissues were provided and their programming in a new dysfunctional niche along with the involved complex macromolecular players were critically discussed.

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

Abstract
Global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) provokes inflammation that augments neuropathic pain. Cilostazol (CLZ) has pleiotropic effects including neuroprotection in several ravaging central disorders; nonetheless, its potential role in transient central ischemic-induced allodynia and hyperalgesia has not been asserted before. Rats were allocated into 4 groups; sham, sham + CLZ, and 45 min-bilateral carotid occlusion followed by a 48 h-reperfusion period either with or without CLZ (50 mg/kg; p.o) post-treatment. CLZ prolonged latency of hindlimb withdrawal following von Frey filaments, 4 °C cold, and noxious mechanical stimulations. Histopathological alterations and the immunoexpression of glial fibrillary acidic protein induced by I/R were reduced by CLZ in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) area, while, CLZ enhanced intact neuronal count. Meanwhile, CLZ modulated cerebral cortical glutamate, dopamine neurotransmission, and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1). CLZ anti-inflammatory potential was mediated by the downregulated p65 NF-κB and sirtuin-1 enhancement to reduce nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), active caspase-1, and interleukin-1β, indicative of inflammasome deactivation. It also revealed an antioxidant capacity via boosting nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) enhancing glutathione through forkhead box protein O3a (FOXO3a) reduction. Additionally, CLZ triggered neuronal survival by promoting the p-content of Akt, TrkB, and CREB as well as BDNF content. A novel approach of CLZ in hindering global cerebral I/R-mediated neuropathy is firstly documented herein to forward its adjunct action via deactivating the NLRP3 inflammasome, besides enhancing Nrf2 axis, neuronal survival, and dopamine neurotransmission as well as inhibiting TRPA1 and excitotoxicity.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a potential pathogenic factor in the urinary system that is associated with various kidney diseases. Microplastics (MPs), comprising of plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter, are a major carrier of contaminants. We applied 10 mg/L particle 5 μm MPs and 50 mg/L CdCl2 in water for three months in vivo assay to assess the damaging effects of MPs and Cd exposure on the kidney. In vivo tests showed that MPs exacerbated Cd-induced kidney injury. In addition, the involvement of oxidative stress, autophagy, apoptosis, and fibrosis in the damaging effects of MPs and Cd on mouse kidneys were investigated. The results showed that MPs aggravated Cd-induced kidney injury by enhancing oxidative stress, autophagy, apoptosis, and fibrosis. These findings provide new insights into the toxic effects of MPs on the mouse kidney.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase implicated in various biological and pathological processes, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, SIRT1-activating compounds have been demonstrated to exert cardioprotective effects. Therefore, this enzyme has become a feasible target to treat cardiovascular diseases, and many SIRT1 activators, of a natural or synthetic origin, have been identified. In the present work, we developed thiazole-based SIRT1 activators, which showed remarkably higher SIRT1 activation potencies compared with those of the reference compound resveratrol when tested in enzymatic assays. Thiazole 8, a representative compound of this series, was also subjected to further pharmacological investigations, where it was proven to reduce myocardial damage induced by an in vivo occlusion/reperfusion event, thus confirming its cardioprotective properties. In addition, the cardioprotective effect of compound 8 was significantly higher than that of resveratrol. Molecular modeling studies suggest the binding mode of these derivatives within SIRT1 in the presence of the p53-AMC peptide. These promising results could pave the way to further expand and optimize this chemical class of new and potent SIRT1 activators as potential cardioprotective agents.

A Potential Route to Reduce Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Organ Preservation. Cells 2022; 11:cells11172763.

Abstract
The pathophysiological process of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI), an inevitable step in organ transplantation, causes important biochemical and structural changes that can result in serious organ damage. IRI is relevant for early graft dysfunction and graft survival. Today, in a global context of organ shortages, most organs come from extended criteria donors (ECDs), which are more sensitive to IRI. The main objective of organ preservation solutions is to protect against IRI through the application of specific, nonphysiological components, under conditions of no blood or oxygen, and then under conditions of metabolic reduction by hypothermia. The composition of hypothermic solutions includes osmotic and oncotic buffering components, and they are intracellular (rich in potassium) or extracellular (rich in sodium). However, above all, they all contain the same type of components intended to protect against IRI, such as glutathione, adenosine and allopurinol. These components have not changed for more than 30 years, even though our knowledge of IRI, and much of the relevant literature, questions their stability or efficacy. In addition, several pharmacological molecules have been the subjects of preclinical studies to optimize this protection. Among them, trimetazidine, tacrolimus and carvedilol have shown the most benefits. In fact, these drugs are already in clinical use, and it is a question of repositioning them for this novel use, without additional risk. This new strategy of including them would allow us to shift from cold storage solutions to cold preservation solutions including multitarget pharmacological components, offering protection against IRI and thus protecting today's more vulnerable organs.

Abstract
There have been significant advances, particularly over the last 20 years, in the identification of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their pathophysiological role in a wide range of disease states, particularly cancer and other chronic conditions characterized by excess inflammation and oxidative stress such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, liver and lung fibrosis. Such discoveries have potential therapeutic implications as a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the effects of ncRNAs on critical homeostatic control mechanisms and biochemical pathways might lead to the identification of novel druggable targets. In this context, increasing evidence suggests that several natural compounds can target ncRNAs at different levels and, consequently, influence processes involved in the onset and progression of disease states. The natural phenol resveratrol has been extensively studied for therapeutic purposes in view of its established anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, particularly in disease states such as cancer and cardiovascular disease that are associated with human aging. However, increasing in vitro and in vivo evidence also suggests that resveratrol can directly target various ncRNAs and that this mediates, at least in part, its potential therapeutic effects. This review critically appraises the available evidence regarding the resveratrol-mediated modulation of different ncRNAs in a wide range of disease states characterized by a pro-inflammatory state and oxidative stress, the potential therapeutic applications, and future research directions.

Abstract
Poncirin, a flavonoid glycoside derivative extracted from the fruits of Poncirus trifoliata (trifoliate orange or Chinese bitter orange), has a variety of documented bioactivities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Oxidative stress is a major underlying factor in the pathogenesis of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Therefore, we investigated the protective efficacy of poncirin on primary cardiomyocytes subjected to anoxia-reoxygenation (A/R) injury in vitro, and on rat hearts subjected to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in vivo. Poncirin pretreatment enhanced cardiomyocyte survival, inhibited A/R-induced oxidative stress by upregulating cellular antioxidant capacity, suppressed mitochondrial depolarization, and ultimately inhibited apoptosis. Similarly, systemic poncirin treatment significantly reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and infarct size in rat hearts. In addition, activity of the PI3K/AKT/PGC-1α pathway was significantly increased by poncirin pretreatment in both A/R and I/R injury models, while PI3K and PGC-1α inhibitors abolished all poncirin related effects, suggesting that this pathway is essential for the cardioprotective effects of poncirin. Pretreatment with the PGC-1α inhibitor reversed effects of poncirin without affecting p-AKT expression, indicating that PGC-1α is downstream of AKT. In conclusion, both in vitro and in vivo studies suggested that poncirin alleviates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury by mitigating oxidative stress, which is dependent on activation of the PI3K/AKT/PGC-1α signaling pathway.

Priming, Triggering, Adaptation and Senescence (PTAS): A Hypothesis for a Common Damage Mechanism of Steatohepatitis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212545. [PMID: 34830427 PMCID: PMC8624051 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212545] [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: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Understanding the pathomechanism of steatohepatitis (SH) is hampered by the difficulty of distinguishing between causes and consequences, by the broad spectrum of aetiologies that can produce the phenotype, and by the long time-span during which SH develops, often without clinical symptoms. We propose that SH develops in four phases with transitions: (i) priming lowers stress defence; (ii) triggering leads to acute damage; (iii) adaptation, possibly associated with cellular senescence, mitigates tissue damage, leads to the phenotype, and preserves liver function at a lower level; (iv) finally, senescence prevents neoplastic transformation but favours fibrosis (cirrhosis) and inflammation and further reduction in liver function. Escape from senescence eventually leads to hepatocellular carcinoma. This hypothesis for a pathomechanism of SH is supported by clinical and experimental observations. It allows organizing the various findings to uncover remaining gaps in our knowledge and, finally, to provide possible diagnostic and intervention strategies for each stage of SH development.

Abstract
Paralysis or paraplegia caused by transient or permanent spinal cord ischemia–reperfusion injury (SCIRI) remains one of the most devastating post-operative complications after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery, even though perioperative strategies and surgical techniques continue to improve. Uncovering the molecular and cellular pathophysiological processes in SCIRI has become a top priority. Recently, the expression, function, and mechanism of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in various diseases have drawn wide attention. Non-coding RNAs contain a variety of biological functions but do not code for proteins. Previous studies have shown that ncRNAs play a critical role in SCIRI. However, the character of ncRNAs in attenuating SCIRI has not been systematically summarized. This review article will be the first time to assemble the knowledge of ncRNAs regulating apoptosis, inflammation, autophagy, and oxidative stress to attenuate SCIRI. A better understanding of the functional significance of ncRNAs following SCIRI could help us to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop potential therapeutic strategies. All the current research about the function of nRNAs in SCIRI will be summarized one by one in this review.

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2021; 426:115635.

Abstract
The beneficial role of prasugrel, a P2Y12 receptor blocker, in several neurointerventional procedures has been reviewed clinically. Beyond its antiplatelet capacity, the potential neuroprotective mechanisms of prasugrel are poorly addressed experimentally. Relevant to the imbalance between neuro-inflammation and neuroprotective pathways in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), our study evaluated the anti-ischemic potential of prasugrel treatment through tackling novel targets. Male Wistar rats were allocated into 2 sets; set 1 (I/R 60 min/3 days) to assess the neurological deficits/biochemical impact of prasugrel and set 2 (I/R 60 min/5 days) for evaluating short memory/morphological/immunoreactive changes. Each set comprised 4 groups designated as sham, sham + prasugrel, I/R, and I/R + prasugrel. Post-administration of prasugrel for 3 and 5 days reduced neurological deficit scores and improved the spontaneous activity/short term spatial memory using the Y-maze paradigm. On the molecular level, prasugrel turned off SUMO2/3-inhibitory kappa (Iκ)Bα, Ubc9 and nuclear factor kappa (NF-κ)B. Besides, it inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) and inactivated astrocytes by downregulating the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) hippocampal immune-expression. Conversely, it activated its target molecule cAMP, protein kinase (PK)A, and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) to enhance the brain-derived nuclear factor (BDNF) hippocampal content. Additionally, cAMP/PKA axis increased the hippocampal content of deacetylator silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and the micro RNA (miR)-22 gene expression. The crosstalk between these paths partakes in preserving hippocampal cellularity. Accordingly, prasugrel, regardless inhibiting platelets activity, modulated other cellular components; viz., SUMO2/3-IκBα/Ubc9/NF-κB, cAMP/PKA related trajectories, CREB/BDNF and SIRT1/miR-22 signaling, besides inhibiting GFAP and MDA to signify its anti-ischemic potential.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after renal transplantation is a complex biochemical process. The first component is an ischemic phase during kidney storage. The second is reperfusion, the main source of oxidative stress. This study aimed to analyze the activity of enzymes and concentrations of non-enzymatic compounds involved in the antioxidant defense mechanisms: glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione transferase (GST), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), malondialdehyde (MDA), measured in preservation fluid before transplantation of human kidneys (KTx) grafted from brain dead donors. The study group (N = 66) was divided according to the method of kidney storage: Group 1—hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in LifePort perfusion pump, n1 = 26, and Group 2—static cold storage (SCS), n2 = 40. The measurements of kidney function parameters, blood count, and adverse events were performed at constant time points during 7-day hospitalization and 3-month follow-up. Kidney perfusate in Group 2 was characterized by significantly more acidic pH (p < 0.0001), higher activity of GPX [U/mgHb] (p < 0.05) and higher concentration of MDA [μmol/L] (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant improvement of kidney function and specific blood count alterations concerning storage method in repeated measures. There were aggregations of significant correlations (p < 0.05) between kidney function parameters after KTx and oxidative stress markers: diuresis & CAT, Na+ & CAT, K+ & GPX, urea & GR. There were aggregations of significant correlations (p < 0.05) between recipient blood count and oxidative stress markers: CAT & MON, SOD & WBC, SOD & MON. Study groups demonstrated differences concerning the method of kidney storage. A significant role of recipient’s gender, gender matching, preservation solution, and perfusate pH was not confirmed, however, basing on analyzed data, the well-established long-term beneficial impact of HMP on the outcome of transplanted kidneys might partially depend on the intensity of IRI ischemic phase and oxidative stress, reflected by the examined biomarkers.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between pro- and antioxidants that adversely influences the organism in various mechanisms and on many levels. Oxidative damage occurring concomitantly in many cellular structures may cause a deterioration of function, including apoptosis and necrosis. The damage leaves a molecular “footprint”, which can be detected by specific methodology, using certain oxidative stress biomarkers. There is an intimate relationship between oxidative stress, inflammation, and functional impairment, resulting in various diseases affecting the entire human body. In the current narrative review, we strengthen the connection between oxidative stress mechanisms and their active compounds, emphasizing kidney damage and renal transplantation. An analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidants, products of peroxidation, and finally signaling pathways gives a lot of promising data that potentially will modify cell responses on many levels, including gene expression. Oxidative damage, stress, and ROS are still intensively exploited research subjects. We discuss compounds mentioned earlier as biomarkers of oxidative stress and present their role documented during the last 20 years of research. The following keywords and MeSH terms were used in the search: oxidative stress, kidney, transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury, IRI, biomarkers, peroxidation, and treatment.

Abstract
Chronic cerebral ischaemia (CCI) is a common pathological disorder, which is associated with various diseases, such as cerebral arteriosclerosis and vascular dementia, resulting in neurological dysfunction. As a type of non-coding RNA, circular RNA is involved in regulating the occurrence and development of diseases, such as ischaemic brain injury. Here, we found that HT22 cells and hippocampus treated with CCI had low expression of circ_0000296, Runx3, Sirt1, but high expression of miR-194-5p. Overexpression of circ_0000296, Runx3, Sirt1, and silenced miR-194-5p significantly inhibited neuronal apoptosis induced by CCI. This study demonstrated that circ_0000296 specifically bound to miR-194-5p; miR-194-5p bound to the 3'UTR region of Runx3 mRNA; Runx3 directly bound to the promoter region of Sirt1, enhancing its transcriptional activity. Overexpression of circ_0000296 by miR-194-5p reduced the negative regulatory effect of miR-194-5p on Runx3, promoted the transcriptional effect of Runx3 on Sirt1, and inhibited neuronal apoptosis induced by CCI. mmu_circ_0000296 plays an important role in regulating neuronal apoptosis induced by CCI through miR-194-5p/Runx3/Sirt1 pathway.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurring after renal transplantation is a complex biochemical process that can be monitored by specific biomarkers. The roles of those are not yet fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to analyze the concentrations of endothelins (ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) during the reperfusion of human kidneys grafted from brain dead donors and later transplanted. The study group (n = 44) was analyzed according to the method of kidney storage: Group 1 underwent hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in the LifePort perfusion pump (n = 22), and Group 2 underwent static cold storage (SCS) (n = 22). The analysis of kidney function was performed daily during the first seven days after transplantation. The kidneys in Group 1 were characterized by higher absolute concentrations of ET-1, IL-18, and NGAL, as well as a lower concentration of ET-2 (p = 0.017) and ET-3. The relative increase of ET-1 (p = 0.033), ET-2, and ET-3 during reperfusion was lower in this group, while the relative decrease of NGAL was higher. Group 1 was also characterized by significant decrease of IL-18 (p = 0.026) and a tendency for better kidney function based on the higher total diuresis, higher glomerular filtration rate (GFR), higher potassium level, lower serum creatinine, and lower urea concentration during the seven-day postoperative observation period. The long-term beneficial impact of hypothermic machine perfusion on the outcome of transplanted kidneys may rely on the early modified proceedings and intensity of ischemia-reperfusion injury reflected by the dynamics of the concentrations of examined biomarkers.

Abstract
Limb ischemic postconditioning (LPostC) is an innovative treatment for ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). However, its mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Herein, we assessed the importance of SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling in LPostC neuroprotection following cerebral I/R injury in rats. In this study, we used 40 male SD rats that were separated into sham, I/R, LPostC, and LPostC + EX-527 (SIRT1 inhibitor) groups (each with 10 rats), with a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model used to induce IRI. LPostC was induced via three cycles of bilateral femoral artery occlusion and non-occlusion. At 24 h, we examined SIRT1 and PGC-1α protein levels by western blotting in ischemic areas. The mRNA levels of SIRT1, PGC-1α, NRF-1 and CytoC1 in the ischemic area were assessed by qRT-PCR. We also quantified neurological deficit scores and evaluated cerebral infarct volume by TTC staining. TUNEL staining was used to evaluate the apoptotic rates in neurons. In addition, antioxidant SOD activity and MDA levels were measured by the Microplate Reader. Our findings indicated that LPostC increased the protein and mRNA levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in cerebral ischemic tissue, then up-regulated the downstream protein NRF-1, down-regulated CytoC1, and improved mitochondrial function, thereby reducing brain damage. LPostC relieved cerebral IRI via reducing the size of the cerebral infarct, neuronal apoptosis, and neurological deficits. Meanwhile LPostC increased SOD activity and reduced MDA content in brain tissue. Treatment with EX-527 reversed the protection of LPostC after IRI (all P < 0.05). This suggests that LPosC may protect against cerebral IRI at least in part via up-regulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway, thereby increasing the individual's ability to resist oxidative stress.

Abstract
In recent years, ischemic stroke (IS) has been one of the major causes of disability and mortality worldwide. The general mechanism of IS is based on reduced blood supply to neuronal tissue, resulting in neuronal cell damage by various pathological reactions. One of the main techniques for acute IS treatment entails advanced surgical approaches for restoration of cerebral blood supply but this is often associated with secondary brain injury, also known as ischemic reperfusion injury (I/R injury). Many researches have come to emphasize the significant role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in IS, especially in I/R injury and their potential as therapeutic approaches. LncRNAs are non-protein transcripts that are able to regulate cellular processes and gene expression. Further, lncRNAs have been shown to be involved in neuronal signaling pathways. Several lncRNAs are recognized as key factors in the physiological and pathological processes of IS. In this review, we discuss the role of lncRNAs in neuronal injury mechanisms and their association with brain neuroprotection. Moreover, we identify the lncRNAs that show the greatest potential as novel therapeutic approaches in IS, which therefore merit further investigation in preclinical research. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Ischemic osteonecrosis (ION) can produce permanent deformity and osteoarthritis in the femoral head and other joints. No biologic treatment has been established, and the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ION have not been elucidated. In this work, we found that treatment with sirtuin6 (Sirt6) suppressed inflammatory cytokines, bone resorption, progression of osteoarthritis, and reduced bone deformity in an ION mouse model. We used a deacetylase mutant adenovirus to confirm that those effects were caused by the deacetylase function of Sirt6. Among the osteoclastogenic factors of osteoblasts, only the receptor activator of NF-κb ligand (RANKL) level changed in response to Sirt6 knockout in primary osteoblasts. In particular, the vitamin D receptor physically interacted with Sirt6 and induced recruitment of Sirt6 around RANKL promoters. Finally, Tg mice overexpressing Sirt6 resisted osteocyte death, bone resorption, and progression of osteoarthritis after ischemic surgery, whereas osteoblast/osteocyte-specific Sirt6 knockout mice showed aggravated bone loss and severe deformity. Our findings demonstrate that administration of Sirt6 prevents bone loss and osteoarthritis in ischemic conditions. Activation of Sirt6 in osteoblasts/osteocytes could be a new therapeutic approach to treating ION of the femoral head and other bone regions. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Life Sci 2021; 272:119119. [PMID: 33508296 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of autologous orthotopic liver transplantation (AOLT). Apoptosis has been shown to be involved in renal ischemia/reperfusion, and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is involved in numerous cell processes, including promoting cell survival and inhibiting apoptosis. We aimed to verify whether the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway participates in the development of post-AOLT AKI. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent AOLT with or without treatment with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1, a PI3K/AKT activator) and LY294002 (a PI3K/AKT inhibitor; n = 8/group). NRK-52E cells (rat renal tubular epithelial cell line) were subjected to hypoxia-re-oxygenation to mimic renal cell I/R injury in vitro, and confirm whether silencing information regulator 1 (SIRT1) mediated the protective effects of PI3K/AKT by deacetylating forkhead protein O3a (FoxO3a). KEY FINDINGS During the reperfusion stage, kidney injury peaked at 8 h after reperfusion, then gradually recovered, which was consistent with the dynamic changes in apoptosis and the protein expressions of Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim), Fas ligand (FasL), and nuclear FoxO3a AKT phosphorylation and nuclear SIRT1 protein expression were also upregulated. IGF-1 application decreased Bim, FasL, and nuclear FoxO3a protein expressions, and protected against apoptosis and AKI. In NRK-52E cells, IGF-1 upregulated nuclear SIRT1 expression, reduced FoxO3a acetylation, downregulated Bim and FasL protein expressions, and attenuated apoptosis and AKI; these effects were reversed by SIRT1 blocking. CONCLUSION The activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway not only induced FoxO3a nuclear export but also deacetylation through upregulating nuclear SIRT1 expression to attenuate post-AOLT AKI.

Dexmedetomidine Ameliorates Hippocampus Injury and Cognitive Dysfunction Induced by Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion by Activating SIRT3-Mediated Mitophagy and Inhibiting Activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Young Rats. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:7385458. [PMID: 34493950 PMCID: PMC8418694 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7385458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) has been proven to trigger oxidative stress and pyroptosis in the hippocampus. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an essential mitochondrial protein deacetylase regulating oxidative stress and mitophagy. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been demonstrated to confer neuroprotection in different brain injury models. However, whether the protective effects of Dex following HIR are orchestrated by activation of SIRT3-mediated mitophagy and inhibition of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation remains unknown. Herein, two-week-old rats were treated with Dex or a selective SIRT3 inhibitor (3-TYP)/autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) and then subjected to HIR. The results revealed that Dex treatment effectively attenuated neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits via upregulating SIRT3 expression and activity. Furthermore, Dex treatment inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, while 3-TYP and 3-MA eliminated the protective effects of Dex, suggesting that SIRT3-mediated mitophagy executes the protective effects of Dex. Moreover, 3-TYP treatment downregulated the expression level of SIRT3 downstream proteins: forkhead-box-protein 3α (FOXO3α), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3), and cyclophilin D (CYP-D), which were barely influenced by 3-MA treatment. Notably, both 3-TYP and 3-MA were able to offset the antioxidative and antiapoptosis effects of Dex, indicating that SIRT3-mediated mitophagy may be the last step and the major pathway executing the neuroprotective effects of Dex. In conclusion, Dex inhibits HIR-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation mainly by triggering SIRT3-mediated mitophagy.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (II/R) injury is a serious pathological phenomenon in underlying hemorrhagic shock, trauma, strangulated intestinal obstruction, and acute mesenteric ischemia which associated with high morbidity and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptionally target mRNA translation via degrading it and/or suppressing protein synthesis. This review discusses on the role of some miRNAs in underlying II/R injury. Some of these miRNAs can have protective action through agomiR or specific antagomiR, and others can have destructive effects in the basal level of II/R insult. Based on these literature reviews, II/R injury affects several miRNAs and their specific target genes. Some miRNAs upregulate under condition of II/R injury, and multiple miRNAs downregulate following II/R damage. Data of this review have been collected from the scientific articles published in databases such as Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scientific Information Database from 2000 to 2020. It is shown a correlation between changes in the expression of miRNAs and autophagy, inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and epithelial barrier function. Taken together, agomiR or antagomiR of some miRNAs can be considered as one new target for the research and development of innovative drugs to the prevention or treatment of II/R damage.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effect of rno-microRNA-30c-5p (rno-miR-30c-5p) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in rats and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods A rat model of myocardial IR injury was established. The infarct size was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The pathologic changes of myocardial tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The apoptosis of myocardial cells was measured by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of rno-miR-30c-5p and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, p-IκBα, IκBα, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 and SIRT1 was detected by Western blot. The interaction between rno-miR-30c-5p and SIRT1 was predicted by TargetScan, and further identified by dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Results The myocardial IR injury model was successfully established in rats. IR induced the myocardial injury in rats and increased the expression of rno-miR-30c-5p. Overexpression of rno-miR-30c-5p enhanced the inflammation, promoted the apoptosis, and activated NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells. SIRT1 was the target gene of rno-miR-30c-5p. Silencing of SIRT1 reversed the effects of rno-miR-30c-5p inhibitor on the apoptosis and NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells. Conclusions Rno-miR-30c-5p promoted the myocardial IR injury in rats through activating NF-κB pathway and down-regulating SIRT1.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1, a member of sirtuin family of histone deacetylase enzymes, has been implicated in a variety of physiologic and pathologic events, including energy metabolism, cell survival, and age-related alterations. In view of the anti-inflammatory properties of sirtuin 1 along with its protective role in ischemia reperfusion injury, it might be considered as contributing to the promotion of transplantation outcome. However, the potential ability of sirtuin 1 to induce malignancies raises some concerns about its overexpression in clinic. Moreover, despite the findings of sirtuin 1 implication in thymic tolerance induction and T regulatory (Treg) cells survival, there is also evidence for its involvement in Treg suppression and in T helper 17 cells differentiation. The identification of sirtuin 1 natural and synthetic activators leads to the proposal of sirtuin 1 as an eligible target for clinical interventions in transplantation. All positive and negative consequences of sirtuin 1 overactivation/overexpression in the allograft should therefore be studied thoroughly. Herein, we summarize previous findings concerning direct and indirect influences of sirtuin 1 manipulation on transplantation.

Renalase Attenuates Mouse Fatty Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through Mitigating Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage via Activating SIRT1. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:7534285.

Abstract
Liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a severe complication of liver surgery. Moreover, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients are particularly vulnerable to IR injury, with higher rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality after liver surgeries. Our previous study found that renalase (RNLS) was highly sensitive and responsive to oxidative stress, which may be a promising biomarker for the evaluation of the severity of liver IR injury. However, the role of RNLS in liver IR injury remains unclear. In the present study, we intensively explored the role and mechanism of RNLS in fatty liver IR injury in vivo and in vitro. C57BL/6 mice were divided into 2 groups feeding with high-fat diet (HFD) and control diet (CD), respectively. After 20 weeks' feeding, they were suffered from portal triad blockage and reflow to induce liver IR injury. Additionally, oleic acid (OA) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) were used in vitro to induce steatotic hepatocytes and to simulate ROS burst and mimic cellular oxidative stress following portal triad blockage and reflow, respectively. Our data showed that RNLS was downregulated in fatty livers, and RNLS administration effectively attenuated IR injury by reducing ROS production and improving mitochondrial function through activating SIRT1. Additionally, the downregulation of RNLS in the fatty liver was mediated by a decrease of signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) expression under HFD conditions. These findings make RNLS a promising therapeutic strategy for the attenuation of liver IR injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal transplant surgical proceedings are known to elicit periods of hypoxia and consequent blood flow reestablishment triggering ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Kidney damage induced by I-R injury associates with a higher risk of graft dysfunction and rejection. Anesthetic preconditioning exerts a beneficial effect on I-R injury by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. However, the degree of renoprotection stimulated by commonly used anesthetics, as well as their mechanisms of action, are largely unknown. Sirtuins are class III histone deacetylases that reduce cellular stress, promote genome stability and regulate senescence. So far, the relationship between sirtuins and anesthetic preconditioning in the context of renal I-R has not been studied. The main objective of the present work was to determine the renal expression of sirtuins after I-R damage in rats under different anesthetic preconditioning treatments. METHODS Unilateral ischemia was performed via occlusion of the left renal hilum for 45 min and followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. Anesthetic preconditioning schemes (morphine 0.5 mg/kg, fentanyl 10 µg/kg, propofol 7.5 mg/kg, or dexmedetomidine 25 µg/kg) were administered 1 hour before ischemia. Creatinine levels were determined in serum, and expression of kidney injury molecule 1 and sirtuin 1, 2, 3 and 7 in kidney tissue was quantified by RT-PCR. RESULTS Anesthetic preconditioning with morphine, fentanyl, propofol and dexmedetomidine reduced kidney injury markers after I-R and modulated sirtuin gene expression. Opioids or dexmedetomidine administration before ischemia increased sirtuin 2 expression and correlated with improved renal function. CONCLUSIONS Anesthetic preconditioning is a promising strategy to prevent I-R injury associated with transplantation. Our results suggest that sirtuin 2 is involved in the protective mechanisms of some commonly used anesthetics against I-R damage.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) permeates a variety of diseases and is a ubiquitous concern in every transplantation proceeding, from whole organs to modest grafts. Given its significance, efforts to evade the damaging effects of both ischemia and reperfusion are abundant in the literature and they consist of several strategies, such as applying pre-ischemic conditioning protocols, improving protection from preservation solutions, thus providing extended cold ischemia time and so on. In this review, we describe many of the latest pharmacological approaches that have been proven effective against IRI, while also revisiting well-established concepts and presenting recent pathophysiological findings in this ever-expanding field. A plethora of promising protocols has emerged in the last few years. They have been showing exciting results regarding protection against IRI by employing drugs that engage several strategies, such as modulating cell-surviving pathways, evading oxidative damage, physically protecting cell membrane integrity, and enhancing cell energetics.

Abstract
Evidence has demonstrated that resveratrol preconditioning exhibits neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The current investigation aimed to explore whether pharmacological postconditioning, by administering resveratrol, after a sustained ischemia and prior to prolonged reperfusion abrogates cerebral IR injury. Cerebral IR-induced injury mice model was employed in this study to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of pharmacological postconditioning with resveratrol (30 mg/kg; i.p.) administered 5 min before reperfusion. We administered sirtinol, a SIRT1/2 selective inhibitor (10 mg/kg; i.p.) 10 min before ischemia (17 min) and reperfusion (24 h), to elucidate whether the neuroprotection with resveratrol postconditioning depends on SIRT1 activation. Various biochemical and behavioural parameters and histopathological changes were assessed to examine the effect of pharmacological postconditioning. Infarct size is estimated using TTC staining. It was established that resveratrol postconditioning abrogated the deleterious effects of IR injury expressed with regard to biochemical parameters of oxidative stress (TBARS, SOD, GSH), acetylcholinesterase activity, behavioural parameters (memory, motor coordination), infarct size, and histopathological changes. Sirtinol significantly reversed the effect of resveratrol postconditioning. We conclude that induced neuroprotective benefits of resveratrol postconditioning may be the consequence of SIRT1 activation and resveratrol can be considered, for further studies, as potential agent inducing pharmacological postconditioning in clinical situations.

SIRT3 a Major Player in Attenuation of Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Reducing ROS via Its Downstream Mediators: SOD2, CYP-D, and HIF-1 α. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:2976957. [PMID: 30538800 PMCID: PMC6258096 DOI: 10.1155/2018/2976957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2018] [Revised: 09/30/2018] [Accepted: 10/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex process where multiple cellular and molecular pathways are involved. Few of those molecular pathways are under the direct influence of SIRT3 and its downstream mediators. SIRT3 plays a major role in the mechanism of IRI, and its activation has been shown to attenuate the deleterious effect of ROS during IRI via SOD2-, CYP-D-, and HIF-1α-mediated pathways. The objective of this review is to analyze the current knowledge on SIRT3 and its downstream mediators: SOD2, CYP-D, and HIF-1α, and their role in IRI. For the references of this review article, we have searched the bibliographic databases of PubMed, Web of Science databases, MEDLINE, and EMBASE with the headings "SIRT3," "SOD2," "CYP-D," "HIF-1α," and "liver IRI." Priority was given to recent experimental articles that provide information on ROS modulation by these proteins. All the recent advancement demonstrates that activation of SIRT3 can suppress ROS production during IRI through various pathways and few of those are via SOD2, CYP-D, and HIF-1α. This effect can improve the quality of the remnant liver following resection as well as a transplanted liver. More research is warranted to disclose its role in IRI attenuation via this pathway.

Br J Pharmacol 2018; 175:3594-3609.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury is a serious clinical problem. Here we have investigated novel mechanisms and new drug targets in II/R injury by searching for microRNAs regulating such injury. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We used hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) of IEC-6 cell cultures and models of II/R models in rats and mice. Microarray assays were used to identify target miRNAs from rat intestinal. Real-time PCR, Western blot and dual luciferase reporter assays, and agomir and antagomir in vitro and in vivo were used to assess the effects of the target miRNA on II/R injury. KEY RESULTS The miR-351-5p was differentially expressed in our models and it targeted MAPK13 and sirtuin-6. This miRNA reduced levels of sirtuin-6 and AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, and activated forkhead box O3 (FoxO3α) phosphorylation to cause oxidative stress. Also, miR-351-5p markedly reduced MAPK13 level, activated polycystic kidney disease 1/NF-κB signal and increased NF-κB (p65). Moreover, miR-351-5p up-regulated levels of Bcl2-associated X, cytochrome c, apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1, cleaved-caspase 3 and cleaved-caspase 9 by reducing sirtuin-6 levels to promote apoptosis. In addition, miR-351-5p mimic in IEC-6 cells and agomir in mice aggravated these effects, and miR-351-5p inhibitor and antagomir in mice alleviated these actions. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our data showed that miR-351-5p aggravated II/R injury by promoting intestinal mucosal oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis by targeting MAPK13 and sirtuin-6.These data provide new insights into the mechanisms regulating II/R injury, and of miR-351-5p could be considered as a novel therapeutic target for such injury.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an essential role in the generation of steroid hormones including the female sex hormones. These hormones are, in turn, able to modulate mitochondrial activities. Mitochondria possess crucial roles in cell maintenance, survival and well-being, because they are the main source of energy as well as of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell. The impairment of these important organelles is one of the central features of aging. In women’s health, estrogen plays an important role during adulthood not only in the estrous cycle, but also in the brain via neuroprotective, neurotrophic and antioxidant modes of action. The hypestrogenic state in the peri- as well as in the prolonged postmenopause might increase the vulnerability of elderly women to brain degeneration and age-related pathologies. However, the underlying mechanisms that affect these processes are not well elucidated. Understanding the relationship between estrogen and mitochondria might therefore provide better insights into the female aging process. Thus, in this review, we first describe mitochondrial dysfunction in the aging brain. Second, we discuss the estrogen-dependent actions on the mitochondrial activity, including recent evidence of the estrogen—brain-derived neurotrophic factor and estrogen—sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) pathways, as well as their potential implications during female aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide +-dependent histone deacetylase that regulates various pathways involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Moreover, high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) has also been involved in inflammatory processes during IRI. However, the roles of both SIRT1 and HMGB1 in liver preservation is poorly understood. In this communication, we evaluated the potential relationship between SIRT1 and HMGB1 in steatotic and non-steatotic liver grafts preserved in Institute Georges Lopez solution (IGL-1) preservation solution enriched or not enriched with trimetazidine (TMZ). METHODS Steatotic and non-steatotic livers were preserved in IGL-1 preservation solution (24 hours, 4°C), enriched or not enriched with TMZ (10 μmol/L), and then submitted to ex vivo reperfusion (2 hours; 37°C). Liver injury (AST/ALT) and function (bile output, vascular resistance) were evaluated. SIRT1, HMGB1, autophagy parameters (beclin-1, LC3B), PPAR-γ, and heat-shock protein (HO-1, HSP70) expression were determined by means of Western blot. Also, we assessed oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage (glutamate dehydrogenase), and TNF-α levels. RESULTS Elevated SIRT1 and enhanced autophagy were found after reperfusion in steatotic livers preserved in IGL-1+TMZ when compared with IGL-1. However, these changes were not seen in the case of non-steatotic livers. Also, HO-1 increases in the IGL-1 + TMZ group were evident only in the case of steatotic livers, whereas HSP70 and PPAR-γ protein expression were enhanced only in non-steatotic livers. All reported changes were consistent with decreased liver injury diminution, ameliorated hepatic function, and decreased TNF-α and HMGB levels. In addition, the oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage were efficiently prevented by the IGL-1 + TMZ use. CONCLUSIONS SIRT1 is associated with HMGB1 decreases and increased autophagy in steatotic livers, contributing to increased tolerance to cold IRI.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of highly evolutionarily conserved nicotinamide adenine nucleotide-dependent histone deacetylases. Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) is a member of the sirtuin family that is localized primarily to the mitochondria and protects against oxidative stress-related diseases, including myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Melatonin has a favorable effect in ameliorating MI/R injury. We hypothesized that melatonin protects against MI/R injury by activating the SIRT3 signaling pathway. In this study, mice were pretreated with or without a selective SIRT3 inhibitor and then subjected to MI/R operation. Melatonin was administered intraperitoneally (20 mg/kg) 10 minutes before reperfusion. Melatonin treatment improved postischemic cardiac contractile function, decreased infarct size, diminished lactate dehydrogenase release, reduced the apoptotic index, and ameliorated oxidative damage. Notably, MI/R induced a significant decrease in myocardial SIRT3 expression and activity, whereas the melatonin treatment upregulated SIRT3 expression and activity, and thus decreased the acetylation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). In addition, melatonin increased Bcl-2 expression and decreased Bax, Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-3 levels in response to MI/R. However, the cardioprotective effects of melatonin were largely abolished by the selective SIRT3 inhibitor 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (3-TYP), suggesting that SIRT3 plays an essential role in mediating the cardioprotective effects of melatonin. In vitro studies confirmed that melatonin also protected H9c2 cells against simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury (SIR) by attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis, while SIRT3-targeted siRNA diminished these effects. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time that melatonin treatment ameliorates MI/R injury by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis via activating the SIRT3 signaling pathway.

VDAC1 deacetylation is involved in the protective effects of resveratrol against mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in cardiomyocytes subjected to anoxia/reoxygenation injury.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), a protein located in the mitochondrial outer membrane, is involved in the effects of resveratrol on the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). However, the underlying mechanism of action remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrated that resveratrol promoted VDAC1 deacetylation in cardiomyocytes in response to anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury. Moreover, silent information regulator of transcription 1 (SIRT1), a NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase, was up-regulated after pretreatment with resveratrol. Cells that were treated with Ex527, a specific inhibitor of SIRT1, showed a reduction in both SIRT1 expression and VDAC1 deacetylation, indicating that the deacetylation effect of resveratrol on VDAC1 is mediated by SIRT1. Furthermore, the ability deacetylated VDAC1 to bind to Bax was decreased after pretreatment with resveratrol, whereas Bcl-2 expression changed in the opposite direction. As a result, opening of the mPTP was restrained, the mitochondrial membrane potential was reserved, and cytochrome c release was inhibited, which subsequently decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the cardioprotective effects observed after treatment of resveratrol could be abrogated by Ex527. In conclusion, resveratrol induces deacetylation of VDAC1 by SIRT1, thereby preventing mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in cardiomyocytes upon A/R injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion is a major clinical problem with limited treatment options. The pathophysiology of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular energy deficits. Sirtuin 1 is an energy-sensing enzyme known to modulate mitochondrial biogenesis. We hypothesized that pharmacologic activation of sirtuin 1 is protective after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. DESIGN Animal study. SETTING University-based experimental laboratory. SUBJECTS Wild-type C57BL/6 mice. INTERVENTIONS C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 60-minute partial hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and posttreated with sirtuin 1 activator, SRT1720 (20 mg/kg), or vehicle. Blood and liver were collected at 24 hours after ischemia-reperfusion for analyses of hepatic injury, adenosine triphosphate levels, mitochondrial mass, autophagy, inflammation, and oxidative stress. H4IIE hepatoma cells and rat primary hepatocytes were incubated with oxyrase to induce hypoxia followed by reoxygenation in the presence or absence of SRT1720 for assessment of mitochondrial mass, mitochondrial membrane potential, and autophagy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS SRT1720 restored the reduction in mitochondrial mass, enhanced autophagy, and preserved adenosine triphosphate levels in the liver after ischemia-reperfusion, which was associated with a decrease in ischemia-reperfusion-induced hepatic injury, apoptosis, and necrosis. Ischemia-reperfusion-induced inflammation was also significantly reduced by SRT1720 as measured by systemic and hepatic cytokine and chemokine levels, as well as a decrease in neutrophil infiltration to the liver. Furthermore, oxidative stress was markedly attenuated in the SRT1720-treated mice compared with the vehicle. SRT1720 treatment increased adenosine triphosphate levels and survival of cultured hepatocytes after hypoxia-reoxygenation. SRT1720 not only increased the mitochondrial mass but also increased mitochondrial membrane potential per cell in cultured hepatocytes after hypoxia-reoxygenation. Moreover, SRT1720 prevented the hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced mitochondrial depolarization and resulted in an enhancement of autophagy in cultured hepatocytes after hypoxia-reoxygenation. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacologic stimulation of sirtuin 1 attenuates liver injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion by restoring mitochondrial mass and membrane potential, which is associated with the enhancement of autophagy.

Sirtuin 1 activation protects against early brain injury after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Cell Death Dis 2016; 7:e2416.

Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is implicated in a wide range of cellular functions, such as oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the change of SIRT1 in the brain after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its role on SAH-induced early brain injury (EBI). In the first set of experiments, rats were randomly divided into sham group and SAH groups at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. The expression of SIRT1 was evaluated by western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. In another set of experiments, SIRT1-specific inhibitor (sirtinol) and activator (activator 3) were exploited to study the role of SIRT1 in SAH-induced EBI. It showed that the protein level of SIRT1 was markedly elevated at the early stage of SAH and peaked at 24 h after SAH. The expression of SIRT1 could be observed in neurons and microglia, and the enhanced SIRT1 was mainly located in neurons after SAH. Administration of sirtinol inhibited the expression and activation of SIRT1 pathways after SAH, while activator 3 enhanced the expression and activation of SIRT1 pathways after SAH. In addition, inhibition of SIRT1 could exacerbate forkhead transcription factors of the O class-, nuclear factor-kappa B- and p53-induced oxidative damage, neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis, leading to aggravated brain injury after SAH. In contrast, activator 3 treatment could reduce forkhead transcription factors of the O class-, nuclear factor-kappa B-, and p53-induced oxidative damage, neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis to protect against EBI. These results suggest that SIRT1 plays an important role in neuroprotection against EBI after SAH by deacetylation and subsequent inhibition of forkhead transcription factors of the O class-, nuclear factor-kappa B-, and p53-induced oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. SIRT1 might be a new promising molecular target for SAH.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a frequent complication in surgery, especially in case of steatotic livers that present decreased tolerance towards IRI. Apart from its major role in metabolism, activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) has been related with positive effects on IRI. In addition, the deacetylase enzyme sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has recently emerged as a promising target for preventing IRI, through its interaction with stress-related mechanisms, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Taking this into account, this study aims to explore whether PPARα agonist WY-14643 could protect steatotic livers against IRI through sirtuins and ERS signaling pathway. Obese Zucker rats were pretreated or not pretreated with WY-14643 (10 mg/kg intravenously) and then submitted to partial (70%) hepatic ischemia (1 hour) followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. Liver injury (ALT levels), lipid peroxidation (MDA), SIRT1 activity, and the protein expression of SIRT1 and SIRT3 and ERS parameters (IRE1α, peIF2, caspase 12, and CHOP) were evaluated. Treatment with WY-14643 reduced liver injury in fatty livers, enhanced SIRT1 activity, and prevented ERS. Together, our results indicated that PPARα agonist WY-14643 may exert its protective effect in fatty livers, at least in part, via SIRT1 induction and ERS prevention.

Abstract
The sirtuins comprise a highly conserved family proteins present in virtually all species from bacteria to mammals. Sirtuins are members of the highly conserved class III histone deacetylases, and seven sirtuin genes (sirtuins 1-7) have been identified and characterized in mammals. Sirtuin activity is linked to metabolic control, apoptosis, cell survival, development, inflammation, and healthy aging. In this review, we summarize and discuss the potential mutual relations between each sirtuin and cardiovascular health and the impact of sirtuins on oxidative stress and so age-related cardiovascular disorders, underlining the possibility that sirtuins will be novel targets to contrast cardiovascular risks induced by aging.

World J Gastroenterol 2015; 21:8021-8031. [PMID: 26185373 PMCID: PMC4499344 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v21.i26.8021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2015] [Revised: 02/25/2015] [Accepted: 04/03/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To investigate a possible association between losartan and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation (ROLT) in rats.
METHODS: Livers of male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g) were preserved in University of Wisconsin preservation solution for 1 h at 4 °C prior to ROLT. In an additional group, an antagonist of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), losartan, was orally administered (5 mg/kg) 24 h and 1 h before the surgical procedure to both the donors and the recipients. Transaminase (as an indicator of liver injury), SIRT1 activity, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+, a co-factor necessary for SIRT1 activity) levels were determined by biochemical methods. Protein expression of SIRT1, acetylated FoxO1 (ac-FoxO1), NAMPT (the precursor of NAD+), heat shock proteins (HSP70, HO-1) expression, endoplasmic reticulum stress (GRP78, IRE1α, p-eIF2) and apoptosis (caspase 12 and caspase 3) parameters were determined by Western blot. Possible alterations in protein expression of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK), such as p-p38 and p-ERK, were also evaluated. Furthermore, the SIRT3 protein expression and mRNA levels were examined.
RESULTS: The present study demonstrated that losartan administration led to diminished liver injury when compared to ROLT group, as evidenced by the significant decreases in alanine aminotransferase (358.3 ± 133.44 vs 206 ± 33.61, P < 0.05) and aspartate aminotransferase levels (893.57 ± 397.69 vs 500.85 ± 118.07, P < 0.05). The lessened hepatic injury in case of losartan was associated with enhanced SIRT1 protein expression and activity (5.27 ± 0.32 vs 6.08 ± 0.30, P < 0.05). This was concomitant with increased levels of NAD+ (0.87 ± 0.22 vs 1.195 ± 0.144, P < 0.05) the co-factor necessary for SIRT1 activity, as well as with decreases in ac-FoxO1 expression. Losartan treatment also provoked significant attenuation of endoplasmic reticulum stress parameters (GRP78, IRE1α, p-eIF2) which was consistent with reduced levels of both caspase 12 and caspase 3. Furthermore, losartan administration stimulated HSP70 protein expression and attenuated HO-1 expression. However, no changes were observed in protein or mRNA expression of SIRT3. Finally, the protein expression pattern of p-ERK and p-p38 were not altered upon losartan administration.
CONCLUSION: The present study reports that losartan induces SIRT1 expression and activity, and that it reduces hepatic injury in a ROLT model.

Abstract
There is extensive evidence that ischemic/reperfusion mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to ischemic damage. However data also indicates that mild ischemic stress induces mitochondrial dependent activation of ischemic preconditioning. Ischemic preconditioning is a neuroprotective mechanism which is activated upon a brief sub-injurious ischemic exposure and is sufficient to provide protection against a subsequent lethal ischemic insult. Current research demonstrates that mitochondria are not only the inducers of but are also an important target of ischemic preconditioning mediated protection. Numerous proteins and signaling pathways are activated by ischemic preconditioning which protect the mitochondria against ischemic damage. In this review we examine some of the proteins activated by ischemic precondition which counteracts the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion thereby maintaining normal mitochondrial activity and lead to ischemic tolerance.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the possible involvement of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in rat orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), when Institute Georges Lopez 1 (IGL-1) preservation solution is enriched with trimetazidine (TMZ).
METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used as donors and recipients. Livers were stored in IGL-1 preservation solution for 8h at 4 °C, and then underwent OLT according to Kamada’s cuff technique without arterialization. In another group, livers were stored in IGL-1 preservation solution supplemented with TMZ, at 10-6 mol/L, for 8 h at 4 °C and then underwent OLT. Rats were sacrificed 24 h after reperfusion, and liver and plasma samples were collected. Liver injury (transaminase levels), mitochondrial damage (glutamate dehydrogenase activity) oxidative stress (malondialdehyde levels), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), the co-factor necessary for SIRT1 activity, were determined by biochemical methods. SIRT1 and its substrates (ac-FoxO1, ac-p53), the precursor of NAD+, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), as well as the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), p-mTOR, p-p70S6K (direct substrate of mTOR), autophagy parameters (beclin-1, LC3B) and MAP kinases (p-p38 and p-ERK) were determined by Western blot.
RESULTS: Liver grafts preserved in IGL-1 solution enriched with TMZ presented reduced liver injury and mitochondrial damage compared with those preserved in IGL-1 solution alone. In addition, livers preserved in IGL-1 + TMZ presented reduced levels of oxidative stress. This was consistent with enhanced SIRT1 protein expression and elevated SIRT1 activity, as indicated by decreased acetylation of p53 and FoxO1. The elevated SIRT1 activity in presence of TMZ can be attributed to the enhanced NAMPT protein and NAD+/NADH levels. Up-regulation of SIRT1 was consistent with activation of AMPK and inhibition of phosphorylation of mTOR and its direct substrate (p-p70S6K). As a consequence, autophagy mediators (beclin-1 and LC3B) were over-expressed. Furthermore, MAP kinases were regulated in livers preserved with IGL-1 + TMZ, as they were characterized by enhanced p-ERK and decreased p-p38 protein expression.
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that IGL-1 preservation solution enriched with TMZ protects liver grafts from the IRI associated with OLT, through SIRT1 up-regulation.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY 2015; 8:1104-1115.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication for patients undergoing cardiac surgery necessitating cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB), however, the possible relationship between microRNAs change and ALI induced by CPB is still not completely understood. OBJECTIVE the aim of this study is to determine the microRNAs level changes in patients with ALI induced by CPB and its involved mechanism. METHODS We collected blood samples from 45 patients and performed microRNA microarray experiments to determine the microRNAs level changes in patients with ALI induced by CPB then the result was verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Plasma TNF-α level and respiration parameters including respiration index (RI) and oxygenation index (OI) were measured at five different time points before or after CPB. Meanwhile the correlationship between significantly changed microRNAs and TNF-α level and respiration parameters was analyzed. Further more, we transfected miR-320 mimic and inhibitor into A549 cells and observed the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis change caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. Finally we using dual-luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR and western blot investigated the potential target of miR-320. RESULTS The level of miR-320 was higher in CPB caused ALI with the most significance. Correlation analysis found that the level of miR-320 was positively associated with TNF-α and RI (r = 0.649 and 0.564, P < 0.05), but negative correlated with OI (r = -0.638, P < 0.05). In A549 cells, up-regulated miR-320 induced proliferation inhibition and more apoptosis. SIRT1 may be a target of miR-320 and higher miR-320 resulted in lower expression of SIRT both in mRNA and protein level. CONCLUSION miR-320 may mediate the ALI after CPB in which alveolar epithelial cells are injured via down-regulating SIRT1.

Abstract
The sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases and/or ADP-ribosyltransferases that play roles in metabolic homeostasis, stress response and potentially aging. This enzyme family resides in different subcellular compartments, and acts on a number of different targets in the nucleus, cytoplasm and in the mitochondria. Despite their recognized ability to regulate metabolic processes, the roles played by specific sirtuins in the brain—the most energy demanding tissue in the body—remains less well investigated and understood. In the present study, we examined the regional mRNA and protein expression patterns of individual sirtuin family members in the developing, adult, and aged rat brain. Our results show that while each sirtuin is expressed in the brain at each of these different stages, they display unique spatial and temporal expression patterns within the brain. Further, for specific members of the family, the protein expression profile did not coincide with their respective mRNA expression profile. Moreover, using primary cultures enriched for neurons and astrocytes respectively, we found that specific sirtuin members display preferential neural lineage expression. Collectively, these results provide the first composite illustration that sirtuin family members display differential expression patterns in the brain, and provide evidence that specific sirtuins could potentially be targeted to achieve cell-type selective effects within the brain.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural polyphenolic compound that exists in Polygonum cuspidatum, grapes, peanuts and berries, as well as their manufactured products, especially red wine. Resveratrol is a pharmacologically active compound that interacts with multiple targets in a variety of cardiovascular disease models to exert protective effects or induce a reduction in cardiovascular risks parameters. This review attempts to primarily serve to summarize the current research findings regarding the putative cardioprotective effects of resveratrol and the molecular pathways underlying these effects. One intent is to hopefully provide a relatively comprehensive resource for clues that may prompt ideas for additional mechanistic studies which might further elucidate and strengthen the role of the stilbene family of compounds in cardiovascular disease and cardioprotection. Model systems that incorporate a significant functional association with tissues outside of the cardiovascular system proper, such as adipose (cell culture, obesity models) and pancreatic (diabetes) tissues, were reviewed, and the molecular pathways and/or targets related to these models and influenced by resveratrol are discussed. Because the body of work encompassing the stilbenes and other phytochemicals in the context of longevity and the ability to presumably mitigate a plethora of afflictions is replete with conflicting information and controversy, especially so with respect to the human response, we tried to remain as neutral as possible in compiling and presenting the more current data with minimal commentary, permitting the reader free reign to extract the knowledge most helpful to their own investigations.
