Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucose is a fundamental substance for numerous cancers, including glioma. However, its influence on tumor cells regulatory mechanisms remains uncertain. SIRT1 is a regulator of deacetylation and a key player in the progression of malignant tumors. The objective of this study was to examine the role of glucose and SIRT1 in glioma. METHODS This study investigated the association of SIRT1 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis in glioma patients using the TCGA database. The Western blotting technique was used to identify the expression of SIRT1 protein in glioma cells. The study also examined the impact of differing glucose concentrations on the biological functions of glioma cells. The study investigated the expression of SIRT1 and HMGB1 signaling pathways in glioma. Additionally, resilience experiments were conducted utilizing SRT1720. RESULTS SIRT1 is a gene that suppresses tumors and is low expressed in gliomas. Low expression of this gene is strongly linked to a poor prognosis in patients with glioma. High concentrations of glucose can promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioma cells, while also inhibiting apoptosis. The findings of this mechanistic study provide evidence that glucose can down-regulate SIRT1 expression, leading to increased levels of acetylated HMGB1. This in turn promotes the ex-nuclear activation of HMGB1 and associated signaling pathways, ultimately driving glioma malignancy. CONCLUSION Glucose has the ability to regulate the HMGB1 associated signaling pathway through SIRT1, thus promoting glioma progression. This holds significant research value.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Kai Xin San (KXS), first proposed by Sun Simiao during the Tang Dynasty, has been utilized to treat dementia by tonifying qi and dispersing phlegm. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which KXS exerts its therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting ferroptosis, using a combination of network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental validation strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The active target sites and the further potential mechanisms of KXS in protecting against AD were investigated through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and network pharmacology, and combined with the validation of animal experiments. RESULTS Computational and experimental findings provide the first indication that KXS significantly improves learning and memory defects and inhibits neuronal ferroptosis by repairing mitochondria damage and upregulating the protein expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) in vivo APP/PS1 mice AD model. According to bioinformatics analysis, the mechanism by which KXS inhibits ferroptosis may involve SIRT1. KXS notably upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of SIRT1 in both vivo APP/PS1 mice and in vitro APP-overexpressed HT22 cells. Additionally, KXS inhibited ferroptosis induced by APP-overexpression in HT22 cells through activating the SIRT1-FSP1 signal pathway. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings suggest that KXS may inhibit neuronal ferroptosis through activating the SIRT1/FSP1 signaling pathway. This study reveals the scientific basis and underlying modern theory of replenishing qi and eliminating phlegm, which involves the inhibition of ferroptosis. Moreover, it highlights the potential application of SIRT1 or FSP1 activators in the treatment of AD and other ferroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the potential of repurposing the antiarthritic drug diacerein (DCN) against diclofenac (DCF)-induced acute nephrotoxicity in rats. Rats were divided into four groups: Group I (CTRL) served as the negative control; Group II (DCF) served as the positive control and was injected with DCF (50 mg/kg/day) for three consecutive days (fourth-sixth) while being deprived of water starting on day 5; Group III (DCF + DCN50) and Group IV (DCF + DCN100) were orally administered DCN (50 and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively) for six days and injected with DCF, while being deprived of water as described above. Changes in kidney function biomarkers were assessed. Levels of MDA and GSH along with NO content in kidney tissues were measured as indicators of oxidative stress status. Histopathological changes of the renal cortex and medulla were evaluated. Changes in renal NF-κB and SIRT-1 levels were immunohistochemically addressed. Western blotting was used to estimate the relative expressions of HIF-1α, p53, and active caspase-3. Our results showed that DCN inhibited kidney dysfunction and suppressed oxidative stress, which were reflected in improved kidney architecture, including less tubular degeneration and necrosis in the cortex and medulla. Interestingly, DCN reduced renal HIF-1α, p53, and active caspase-3 expression and NF-κB activation while increasing renal SIRT1 expression. In conclusion, for the first time, DCN counteracts acute kidney injury induced by DCF in rats by its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, antinecrotic, and anti-apoptotic effects in a dose-dependent manner, which are mainly via targeting SIRT1/HIF-1α/NF-κB and SIRT1/p53 regulatory axes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a common cause of brain dysfunction. As a microRNA (also known as miRNAs or miRs), miR-30a-5p participates in neuronal damage and relates to ferroptosis. We explored the in vivo and in vitro effects and functional mechanism of miR-30a-5p in CCH-triggered cognitive impairment through the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway. METHODS After 1 month of CCH modeling through bilateral common carotid artery stenosis, mice were injected with 2μL antagomir (also known as anti-miRNAs) miR-30a-5p, with cognitive function evaluated by Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests. In vitro HT-22 cell oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) model was established, followed by miR-30a-5p inhibitor and/or si-SIRT1 transfections, with Fe2+ concentration, malonaldehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) contents, reactive oxygen species (ROS), miR-30a-5p and SIRT1 and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein levels, NRF2 nuclear translocation, and miR-30a-5p-SIRT1 targeting relationship assessed. RESULTS CCH-induced mice showed obvious cognitive impairment, up-regulated miR-30a-5p, and down-regulated SIRT1. Ferroptosis occurred in hippocampal neurons, manifested by elevated Fe2+ concentration and ROS and MDA levels, mitochondrial atrophy, and diminished GSH content. Antagomir miR-30a-5p or miR-30a-5p inhibitor promoted SIRT1 expression and NRF2 nuclear translocation, increased GPX4, cell viability and GSH content, and reduced Fe2+ concentration and ROS and MDA levels. miR-30a-5p negatively regulated SIRT1. In vitro, miR-30a-5p knockout increased NRF2 nuclear translocation by up-regulating SIRT1, inhibiting OGD-induced ferroptosis in HT-22 cells. CONCLUSION miR-30a-5p induces hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis and exacerbates post-CCH cognitive dysfunction by targeting SIRT1 and reducing NRF2 nuclear translocation.

Abstract
Cancer cell resistance presents a significant clinical challenge. The mechanisms underlying drug resistance in cancer cells are intricate and remain incompletely understood. Notably, tumor cell resistance often coincides with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we observed an elevation in autophagy levels following the development of drug resistance in oesophageal cancer cells. Inhibition of autophagy led to a reduction in drug-resistant cell migration and the inhibition of EMT. Furthermore, we identified an upregulation of SIRT1 expression in drug-resistant oesophageal cancer cells. Subsequent inhibition of SIRT1 expression in drug-resistant cells resulted in the suppression of autophagy levels, migration ability, and the EMT process. Our additional investigations revealed that a SIRT1 inhibitor effectively curbed tumor growth in human oesophageal cancer xenograft model mice (TE-1, TE-1/PTX) without evident toxic effects. This mechanism appears to be associated with the autophagy levels within the tumor tissue.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is by far the most common mycotoxin contaminating cereal foods and feeds. Furthermore, cleaning up DON from contaminated cereal items is challenging. Low-dose DON consumption poses a danger to humans and agricultural animals. The benefits of hesperidin (HDN) include liver protection, anti-oxidative stress, nontoxicity, and a broad range of sources. The study used immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy to identify factors associated with mitophagy in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that low-dose DON exposure inhibited mitophagy in the liver tissue of mice. SIRT1 was a crucial regulator of mitophagy. Moreover, DON stimulated the dephosphorylation of SIRT1 and the acetylation-regulated FOXO3 protein, which resulted in the transcriptional inhibition of FOXO3-driven BNIP3 and compromised the stability of the PINK1 protein mediated by BNIP3. Moreover, HDN's effect was comparable to that of a SIRT1 agonist, which led to a significant decrease in the level of mitophagy inhibition caused by low-dose DON exposure. When combined, these findings suggested that HDN might be a useful treatment approach for liver damage brought on by low-dose DON exposure. Above all, this research will offer fresh perspectives on a viable approach that will encourage further research into risk reduction initiatives for low-dose DON exposure.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that store neutral lipids and are closely linked to obesity. Previous studies have suggested that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) supplements can ameliorate obesity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we hypothesize that LBP alleviates LD accumulation in adipose tissue (AT) by inhibiting fat-specific protein 27 (Fsp27) through an activating transcription factor-6 (ATF6)/small-molecule sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-dependent mechanism. LD accumulation in AT is induced in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (PAs) is induced. The ability of LBP to alleviate LD accumulation and the possible underlying mechanism are then investigated both in vivo and in vitro. The influences of LBP on the expressions of LD-associated genes ( ATF6 and Fsp27) are also detected. The results show that HFD and PA differentiation markedly increase LD accumulation in ATs and adipocytes, respectively, and these effects are markedly suppressed by LBP supplementation. Furthermore, LBP significantly activates SIRT1 and decreases ATF6 and Fsp27 expressions. Interestingly, the inhibitory effects of LBP are either abolished or exacerbated when ATF6 is overexpressed or silenced, respectively. Furthermore, SIRT1 level is transcriptionally regulated by LBP through opposite actions mediated by ATF6. Collectively, our findings suggest that LBP supplementation alleviates obesity by ameliorating LD accumulation, which might be partially mediated by an ATF6/SIRT1-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia-reperfusion is the primary cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Clinically, most patients who experience ischemia-reperfusion injury eventually progress gradually to renal fibrosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the underlying mechanism for AKI to CKD transition remain absent. Our study demonstrated that the downregulation of sirtuin 1 (Sirt1)-mediated fatty acid oxidation (FAO) facilitates IRI-induced renal fibrosis. METHODS The IRI animal model was established, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing was used to explore potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways. The SIRT1 knockout mice were generated, and a recombinant adeno-associated virus that overexpresses SIRT1 was injected into mice to explore the function of SIRT1 in renal fibrosis induced by renal IRI. In vitro, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was used to establish the classical model of renal IRI and overexpression or knockdown of SIRT1 to investigate the SIRT1 function through lentiviral plasmids. The underlying molecular mechanism was explored through RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS RNA sequencing analysis and western blot demonstrated that the expression of SIRT1 was significantly decreased in IRI mice. Overexpression of SIRT1 improved renal function and reduced lipid deposition and renal fibrosis. On the contrary, knockout of SIRT1 aggravated kidney injury and renal fibrosis. RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay mechanistically revealed that SIRT1 impairs the acetylation of histone H3K27 on the promoter region of ACLY, thereby impeding FAO activity and promoting renal fibrosis. Additionally, SP1 regulated FAO by directly modulating SIRT1 expression. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight that downregulation of SIRT1-modulated FAO facilitated by the SP1/SIRT1/ACLY axis in the kidney increases IRI, suggesting SIRT1 to be a potential therapeutic target for renal fibrosis induced by renal IRI.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant, primarily causing nephrotoxicity through renal proximal tubular cell impairment. Pyroptosis is an inflammation-related nucleotide-binding oligomerization segment-like receptor family 3 (NLRP3)-dependent pathway for programmed cell death. We previously reported that inappropriate inflammation caused by Cd is a major contributor to kidney injury. Therefore, research on Cd-induced inflammatory response and pyroptosis may clarify the mechanisms underlying Cd-induced nephrotoxicity. In this study, we observed that Cd-induced nephrotoxicity is associated with NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to an increase in proinflammatory cytokine expression and secretion, as well as pyroptosis-related gene upregulation, both in primary rat proximal tubular (rPT) cells and kidney tissue from Cd-treated rats. In vitro, these effects were significantly abrogated through siRNA-based Nlrp3 silencing; thus, Cd may trigger pyroptosis through an NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pathway. Moreover, Cd exposure considerably elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. N-acetyl-l-cysteine, an ROS scavenger, mitigated Cd-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent pyroptosis. Mechanistically, Cd hindered the expression and deacetylase activity of SIRT1, eventually leading to a decline in SIRT1-p65 interactions, followed by an elevation in acetylated p65 levels. The administration of resveratrol (a SIRT1 agonist) or overexpression of Sirt1 counteracted Cd-induced RELA/p65/NLRP3 pathway activation considerably, leading to pyroptosis. This is the first study to reveal significant contributions of SIRT1-triggered p65 deacetylation to pyroptosis and its protective effects against Cd-induced chronic kidney injury. Our results may aid in developing potential therapeutic strategies for preventing Cd-induced pyroptosis through SIRT1-mediated p65 deacetylation.

Abstract
Nickel (Ni), a ductile and hard silver-white transition metal, is commonly found in occupational environments and can harm the human body. Since it is a toxic compound, long-term Ni exposure can cause pneumonia, rhinitis, and other types of respiratory inflammatory diseases. Resveratrol (Res) is a plant antitoxin polyphenol, which also has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In this report, the toxicity of Ni-refining fumes on the human lung bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells, as well as the protective effects of Res were investigated in vitro, and the specific mechanism of its anti-inflammatory effect was explained. The experimental observations of this study revealed that Ni-refining fumes induce BEAS-2B cell damage, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, activate NLRP3 (LRR-, NOD-, and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome, and promote the secretion of the cytokine Interleukin (IL)-1β, leading to cellular inflammation and reducing cell activity. Resveratrol (20 μmol/L) activated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in BEAS-2B cells to increase protein and mRNA expression. SIRT1 was observed to inhibit the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), reduced the expression of NLRP3 protein and mRNA, and inhibited NLRP3 inflammation. The level of inflammasome activation and IL-1β overexpression could reduce the inflammatory damage caused by the Ni-refining fume particles on the BEAS-2B cells and exert anti-inflammatory protective effects. In vivo experiments further confirmed that resveratrol could effectively alleviate the acute inflammatory injuries caused due to exposure to the Ni-refining fume particles in the lung tissues of the Wistar rats, and verified that resveratrol could exert its anti-inflammatory impact through the SIRT1-NF-κB-NLRP3 pathway. These results provide an important theoretical basis for developing novel protective drugs and investigating the mechanism of action for inflammatory injury in occupational populations caused by exposure to nickel and other heavy metals.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE It has been reported that apoptosis and oxidative stress are related to cyclophosphamide (CYC)-induced premature ovarian failure (POF). Therefore, anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative stress treatments exhibit therapeutic efficacy in CYC-induced POF. Danggui Shaoyao San (DSS), which has been extensively used to treat gynecologic diseases, is found to inhibit apoptosis and reduce oxidative stress. However, the roles of DSS in regulating apoptosis and oxidative stress during CYC-induced POF, and its associated mechanisms are still unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY This work aimed to investigate the roles and mechanisms of DSS in inhibiting apoptosis and oxidative stress in CYC-induced POF. MATERIALS AND METHODS CYC (75 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected in mice to construct the POF mouse model for in vivo study. Thereafter, alterations of body weight, ovary morphology and estrous cycle were monitored to assess the ovarian protective properties of DSS. Serum LH and E2 levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed for examining ovarian pathological morphology and quantifying follicles in various stages. Meanwhile, TUNEL staining and apoptosis-related proteins were adopted for evaluating apoptosis. Oxidative stress was measured by the levels of ROS, MDA, and 4-HNE. Western blot (WB) assay was performed to detect proteins related to the SIRT1/p53 pathway. KGN cells were used for in vitro experiment. TBHP stimulation was carried out for establishing the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis cell model. Furthermore, MTT assay was employed for evaluating the protection of DSS from TBHP-induced oxidative stress. The anti-apoptotic ability of DSS was evaluated by hoechst/PI staining, JC-1 staining, and apoptosis-related proteins. Additionally, the anti-oxidative stress ability of DSS was measured by detecting the levels of ROS, MDA, and 4-HNE. Proteins related to SIRT1/p53 signaling pathway were also measured using WB and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Besides, SIRT1 expression was suppressed by EX527 to further investigate the role of SIRT1 in the effects of DSS against apoptosis and oxidative stress. RESULTS In the in vivo experiment, DSS dose-dependently exerted its anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative stress, and ovarian protective effects. In addition, apoptosis, apoptosis-related protein and oxidative stress levels were inhibited by DSS treatment. DSS treatment up-regulated SIRT1 and down-regulated p53 expression. From in vitro experiment, it was found that DSS treatment protected KGN cells from TBHP-induced oxidative stress injury. Besides, DSS administration suppressed the apoptosis ratio, apoptosis-related protein levels, mitochondrial membrane potential damage, and oxidative stress. SIRT1 suppression by EX527 abolished the anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative stress, and ovarian protective effects, as discovered from in vivo and in vitro experiments. CONCLUSIONS DSS exerts the anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative stress, and ovarian protective effects in POF mice, and suppresses the apoptosis and oxidative stress of KGN cells through activating SIRT1 and suppressing p53 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depression and anxiety disorder are significant causes of disability and socio-economic burden. Despite the prevalence and considerable impact of these affective disorders, their pathophysiology remains elusive. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutics for these conditions. We evaluated the role of SIRT1 in regulating dysfunctional processes of reward by using chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) to induce depression- and anxiety-like behaviors. CSDS induces physiological and behavioral changes that recapitulate depression-like symptomatology and alters gene expression programs in the nucleus accumbens, yet cell type-specific changes in this critical structure remain largely unknown. METHODS We examined transcriptional profiles of D1-MSNs lacking deacetylase activity of SIRT1 by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in a cell-type specific manner using the RiboTag line of mice. We analyzed differentially expressed genes using gene ontology tools including SynGO and EnrichR, and further demonstrated functional changes in D1-MSN specific SIRT1-KO mice using electrophysiological and behavioral measurements. RESULTS RNAseq revealed altered transcriptional profiles of D1-MSNs lacking functional SIRT1 and showed specific changes in synaptic genes including glutamatergic and GABAergic receptors in D1-MSNs. These molecular changes may be associated with decreased excitatory and increased inhibitory neural activity in Sirt1-KO D1-MSNs, accompanied by morphological changes. Moreover, the D1-MSN-specific Sirt1-KO mice exhibited pro-resilient changes in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. CONCLUSIONS SIRT1 coordinates excitatory and inhibitory synaptic genes to regulate GABAergic output tone of D1-MSNs. These findings reveal a novel signaling pathway that has the potential for the development of innovative treatments for affective disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which still lacks adequate therapy. Irisin, a cleavage peptide off fibronectin type III domain-containing 5, has been shown to preserve cardiac function in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Whether or not irisin plays a cardioprotective role in DCM is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS T1DM was induced by multiple low-dose intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). Our current study showed that irisin expression/level was lower in the heart and serum of mice with STZ-induced TIDM. Irisin supplementation by intraperitoneal injection improved the impaired cardiac function in mice with DCM, which was ascribed to the inhibition of ferroptosis, because the increased ferroptosis, associated with increased cardiac malondialdehyde (MDA), decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) and protein expressions of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), was ameliorated by irisin. In the presence of erastin, a ferroptosis inducer, the irisin-mediated protective effects were blocked. Mechanistically, irisin treatment increased Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and decreased p53 K382 acetylation, which decreased p53 protein expression by increasing its degradation, consequently upregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expressions. Thus, irisin-mediated reduction in p53 decreases ferroptosis and protects cardiomyocytes against injury due to high glucose. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that irisin could improve cardiac function by suppressing ferroptosis in T1DM via the SIRT1-p53-SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway. Irisin may be a therapeutic approach in the management of T1DM-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Considering the effect of SIRT1 on improving myocardial fibrosis and GAS5 inhibiting occurrence and development of myocardial fibrosis at the cellular level, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether LncRNA GAS5 could attenuate cardiac fibrosis through regulating mir-217/SIRT1, and whether the NLRP3 inflammasome activation was involved in this process. Isoprenaline (ISO) was given subcutaneously to the male C57BL/6 mice to induce myocardial fibrosis and the AAV9 vectors were randomly injected into the left ventricle of each mouse to overexpress GAS5. Primary myocardial fibroblasts (MCFs) derived from neonatal C57BL/6 mice and TGF-β1 were used to induce fibrosis. And the GAS5 overexpressed MCFs were treated with mir-217 mimics and mir-217 inhibitor respectively. Then the assays of expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β and SIRT1 were conducted. The findings indicated that the overexpression of GAS5 reduced the expression levels of collagen, NLRP3, Capase-1, IL-1β and SIRT1 in ISO treated mice and TGF-β1 treated MCFs. However, this effect was significantly weakened after mir-217 overexpression, but was further enhanced after knockdown of mir-217. mir-217 down-regulates the expression of SIRT1, leading to increased activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and subsequent pyroptosis. LncRNA GAS5 alleviates cardiac fibrosis induced via regulating mir-217/SIRT1 pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), an age-related disease, has not been fully elucidated. Therapeutic targets of POP are limited. Silencing information regulator 2 related enzyme 1 (SIRT1), a gene considered capable of regulating oxidative stress and cellular senescence, has been widely demonstrated involved in aging and age-related diseases. The present study aimed to explore the role of SIRT1 in POP in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Expression levels of SIRT1 in uterosacral ligament (USL) tissues from patients with or without POP were measured using immunohistochemical assays. SRT1720, a SIRT1 agonist, was used to upregulate SIRT1, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to establish an oxidative stress model in human uterosacral ligament fibroblasts (hUSLFs). The effects of SIRT1 on cell viability, apoptosis, senescence, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected, respectively. Western blot assays were used to examine expression levels of apoptosis- and senescence-associated biomarkers. Unpaired Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, and one-way ANOVA were performed for determining statistically significant differences. RESULTS Compared to the control group, expression levels of SIRT1 were downregulated in USL tissues and hUSLFs from patients with POP, and associated with stage (p < 0.05). hUSLFs of patients with POP had lower growth rates (p < 0.0001) than those of the control group, which were improved by upregulating SIRT1 (p < 0.05). The senescent proportion was higher in the POP group than the control group (43.63 ± 10.62% vs. 4.84 ± 5.32%, p < 0.0001), which could be reduced by upregulating SIRT1 (p < 0.0001). High ROS levels in the POP group were also alleviated by SRT1720. H2O2 exposure increased ROS levels, inhibited proliferation, and triggered apoptosis and senescence in hUSLFs of patients without POP in a concentration-dependent manner. Further, these damages were alleviated by pretreatment with SRT1720. CONCLUSIONS SIRT1 is downregulated in patients with POP, and the development of SIRT1 activators or agonists may have applications in the treatment and prevention of POP through antioxidative stress and antisenescence effects.

Abstract
Riboflavin is a water-soluble yellowish vitamin and is controversial regarding its effect on tumour cells. Riboflavin is a powerful photosensitizer that upon exposure to radiation, undergoes an intersystem conversion with molecular oxygen, leading to the production of ROS. In the current study, we sought to ascertain the impact of irradiated riboflavin on C6 glioblastoma cells regarding proliferation, cell death, oxidative stress and migration. First, we compared the proliferative behaviour of cells following nonradiated and radiated riboflavin. Next, we performed apoptotic assays including Annexin V and caspase 3, 7 and 9 assays. Then we checked on oxidative stress and status by flow cytometry and ELISA kits. Finally, we examined inflammatory change and levels of MMP2 and SIRT1 proteins. We caught a clear antiproliferative and cytotoxic effect of irradiated riboflavin compared to nonradiated one. Therefore, we proceeded with our experiments using radiated riboflavin. In all apoptotic assays, we observed a dose-dependent increase. Additionally, the levels of oxidants were found to increase, while antioxidant levels decreased following riboflavin treatment. In the inflammation analysis, we observed elevated levels of both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, after treatment, we observed reduced levels of MMP2 and SIRT. In conclusion, radiated riboflavin clearly demonstrates superior antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on C6 cells at lower doses compared to nonradiated riboflavin.

Abstract
Therapeutic neovascularization is a strategy to promote blood vessel growth and improve blood flow, which is critical to tissue repair and regeneration in ischemic diseases. Here, we investigated the role of endothelial progenitor cell - derived exosomes (EPC-Exos) in therapeutic neovascularization and clarified the mechanism of hsa_circ_0093884 in EPC-Exos mediated neovascularization. Injection of EPC-Exos improved mouse ischemic hindlimb perfusion, promoted angiogenesis in Matrigel plugs and mouse skin wound healing. In vitro coculture with EPC-Exos improved HUVEC proliferation, angiogenic and migration ability, while alleviated hypoxia-induced apoptosis. hsa_circ_0093884 was identified from eleven types of circRNA derived from SIRT1 and proved to be enriched in EPC-Exos. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0093884 in EPC-Exos further enhanced the angiogenic capacity, while knockdown of hsa_circ_0093884 abolished the benefits. Mechanistically, EPC-Exos mediated shuttling of hsa_circ_0093884 induced cytoplasmic sponge of miR-145, thereby releasing repression of SIRT1. In vitro co-transfection indicated silence of miR-145 further strengthened the angiogenic effect of hsa_circ_0093884, while overexpression of miR-145 inhibited hsa_circ_0093884 mediated angiogenesis and abolished the beneficial effect of EPC-Exos. Furthermore, in vivo experiments using endothelial specific SIRT1 conditional knockout mice indicated hsa_circ_0093884 overexpressing EPC-Exos failed to promote therapeutic neovascularization in SIRT1cKO mice. Collectively, our results demonstrated that EPC-Exos promoted therapeutic neovascularization through hsa_circ_0093884/miR-145/SIRT1 axis.

Abstract
Melatonin is involved in exerting protective effects in aged-related and neurodegenerative diseases through a silent information regulator type 1 (SIRT1)-dependent pathway. However, little was known about the impact of melatonin on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) senescence and apoptosis following optic nerve crush (ONC). Thus, this study aimed to examine the effects of melatonin on RGC senescence and apoptosis after ONC and investigate the involvement of SIRT1 in this process. To study this, an ONC model was established. EX-527, an inhibitor of SIRT1, was injected intraperitoneally into mice. And melatonin was administrated abdominally into mice after ONC every day. Hematoxylin & eosin staining, retina flat-mounts and optical coherence tomography were used to evaluate the loss of retina cells/neurons. Pattern electroretinogram (p-ERG) was performed to evaluate the function of RGCs. Immunofluorescence and western blot were used to evaluate protein expression. SA-β-gal staining was employed to detect senescent cells. The results demonstrated that melatonin partially rescued the expression of SIRT1 in RGC 3 days after ONC. Additionally, melatonin administration partly rescued the decreased RGC number and ganglion cell complex thickness observed 14 days after ONC. Melatonin also suppressed ONC-induced senescence and apoptosis index. Furthermore, p-ERG showed that melatonin improved the amplitude of P50, N95 and N95/P50 following ONC. Importantly, the protective effects of melatonin were reversed when EX-527 was administered. In summary, this study revealed that melatonin attenuated RGC senescence and apoptosis through a SIRT1-dependent pathway after ONC. These findings provide valuable insights for the treatment of RGC senescence and apoptosis.

Abstract
Constructing surface topography with a certain roughness is a widely used, non-toxic, cost-effective and effective method for improving the microenvironment of cells, promoting the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and promoting the osseointegration of grafts and further improving their biocompatibility under clinical environmental conditions. SIRT1 plays an important regulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). However, it remains unknown whether SIRT1 plays an important regulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs with regard to surface morphology. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different surface morphologies were prepared using different grits of sandpaper. The value for BMSCs added on different surfaces was detected by cell proliferation assays. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect SIRT1 activation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Osteogenesis of MSCs was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S staining. SIRT1 inhibition experiments were performed to investigate the role of SIRT1 in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs induced by surface morphology. We found that BM-MSCs have better value and osteogenic differentiation ability on a surface with roughness of PDMS-1000M. SIRT1 showed higher gene and protein expression on a PDMS-1000M surface with a roughness of 13.741 ± 1.388 µm. The promotion of the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs on the PDMS-1000M surface was significantly decreased after inhibiting SIRT1 expression. Our study demonstrated that a surface morphology with certain roughness can activate the SIRT1 pathway of MSCs and promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the SIRT1 pathway.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure is related to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Endothelial dysfunction is considered an initial event of CVDs. To confirm the relationship of PAHs exposure with endothelial dysfunction, 8-week-old male SD rats and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-treated with environmental doses of 16 priority-controlled PAHs for 90 d and 48 h, respectively. Results showed that 10× PAHs exposure remarkably raised tumor necrosis factor-α and malonaldehyde levels in rat serum (p < 0.05), but had no effects on interleukin-8 levels and superoxide dismutase activity. The expressions of SIRT1 in HUVECs and rat aorta were attenuated after PAHs treatment. Interestingly, PAHs exposure did not activate the expression of total endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), but 10× PAHs exposure significantly elevated the expression of phosphorylated eNOS (Ser1177) in HUVECs and repressed it in aortas, accompanied with raised nitrite level both in serum and HUVECs by 48.50-253.70 %. PAHs exposure also led to the augment of endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels by 19.76-38.54 %, angiotensin (Ang II) levels by 20.09-39.69 % in HUVECs, but had no effects on ET-1 and Ang II levels in serum. Additionally, PAHs exposure improved endocan levels both in HUVECs and serum by 305.05-620.48 % and stimulated the THP-1 cells adhered to HUVECs (p < 0.05). After PAHs treatment, the smooth muscle alignment was disordered and the vascular smooth muscle locally proliferated in rat aorta. Notably, the systolic blood pressure of rats exposed to 10× PAHs increased significantly compared with the control ones (131.28 ± 5.20 vs 116.75 ± 5.33 mmHg). In summary, environmental chronic PAHs exposure may result in endothelial dysfunction in SD rats and primary HUVECs. Our research can confirm the cardiovascular damage caused by chronic exposure to PAHs and provide ideas for the prevention or intervention of CVDs affected by environmental factors.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence promotes atherosclerosis via lipid-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. However, the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction and VSMC senescence in atherosclerosis have not been established. Here, we investigated the mechanisms whereby signaling pathways regulated by SRT1720 enhance or regulate mitochondrial functions in atherosclerotic VSMCs to suppress atherosclerosis. Initially, we examined the effect of SRT1720 on oleic acid (OA)-induced atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic VSMCs exhibited elevated expressions of BODIPY and ADRP (adipose differentiation-related protein) and associated intracellular lipid droplet markers. In addition, the expression of collagen I was upregulated by OA, while the expressions of elastin and α-SMA were downregulated. mtDNA copy numbers, an ATP detection assay, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging of mitochondria, mitochondria membrane potentials (assessed using JC-1 probe), and levels of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) were used to examine the effects of SRT1720 on OA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. SRT1720 reduced mtDNA damage and accelerated mitochondria repair in VSMCs with OA-induced mitochondria dysfunction. In addition, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) levels were downregulated by SRT1720 in OA-treated VSMCs. Importantly, SRT1720 significantly increased SIRT1 and PGC-1α expression levels, but VSMCs senescence, inflammatory response, and atherosclerosis phenotypes were not recovered by treating cells with EX527 and SR-18292 before SRT1720. Mechanistically, the upregulations of SIRT1 and PGC-1α deacetylation by SRT1720 restored mitochondrial function, and consequently suppressed VSMC senescence and atherosclerosis-associated proteins and phenotypes. Collectively, this study indicates that SRT1720 can attenuate OA-induced atherosclerosis associated with VSMC senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction via SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of the PGC-1α pathway.

The escalating prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) within an aging global population presents a pressing challenge. The multifaceted pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these disorders, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, remain complex and elusive. Among these, the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway emerges as a pivotal network implicated in neuroprotection against these destructive processes. This review sheds light on the potential therapeutic implications of targeting this axis, specifically emphasizing the promising role of flavonoids in mitigating NDD-related complications. Expanding beyond conventional pharmacological approaches, the exploration of non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise and calorie restriction (CR), coupled with the investigation of natural compounds, offers a beacon of hope. By strategically elucidating the intricate connections within these pathways, this review aims to pave the ways for novel multi-target agents and interventions, fostering a renewed optimism in the quest to combat and manage the debilitating impacts of NDDs on global health and well-being.

Abstract
Fungal keratitis (FK) is a vision-threatening infection. We aimed to explore the antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects of pseudolaric acid B (PAB) on FK and the underlying mechanisms involved. Network pharmacology utilized to acquire the potential target genes, and silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) was consistently downregulated in Gene Expression Omnibus dataset and clinical samples. Molecular docking analysis showed that PAB and SIRT1 had good binding activity. No toxicity was observed in vivo and in vitro with a PAB concentration below 0.3 μM. PAB exerted its antifungal activity by destroying the integrity of hyphae, and alleviated the severity of FK in rats by decreasing clinical scores, fungal burden and inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration. PAB increased SIRT1 to regulate the crosstalk between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), decreasing the levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6; and pattern recognition receptors, C-type lectin domain containing 7A (Dectin-1), lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1), toll like receptor (TLR)-2, and TLR4 both in vivo and in vitro. However, this anti-inflammatory effect of PAB was abolished by the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527. This study provides new evidence that PAB has antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects in FK and may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of FK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a key mediator in driving allergic airway inflammation and contributes to asthma. Yet, mechanism of HMGB1 secretion in asthma is poorly defined. Pulmonary metabolic dysfunction is recently recognized as a driver of respiratory pathology. However, the altered metabolic signatures and the roles of metabolic to allergic airway inflammation remain unclear. METHODS Male C57BL/6 J mice were sensitized and challenged with toluene diisocyanate (TDI) to generate a chemically induced asthma model. Pulmonary untargeted metabolomics was employed. According to results, mice were orally administered allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) were stimulated by TDI-human serum albumin (HSA). RESULTS We identified the purine metabolism was the most enriched pathway in TDI-exposed lungs, corresponding to the increase of xanthine and uric acid, products of purine degradation mediated by XO. Inhibition of XO by allopurinol ameliorates TDI-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage, mixed granulocytic airway inflammation and Th1, Th2 and Th17 immunology as well as HMGB1 acetylation and secretion. Mechanistically, HMGB1 acetylation was caused by decreased activation of the NAD+-sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) axis triggered by hyperactivation of the DNA damage sensor poly (ADP-ribose)-polymerase 1 (PARP-1). This was rescued by allopurinol, PARP-1 inhibitor or supplementation with NAD+ precursor in a SIRT1-dependent manner. Meanwhile, allopurinol attenuated Nrf2 defect due to SIRT1 inactivation to help ROS scavenge. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated a novel regulation of HMGB1 acetylation and secretion by purine metabolism that is critical for asthma onset. Allopurinol may have therapeutic potential in patients with asthma.

Abstract
Regulation of SIRT1 activity is vital to energy homeostasis and plays important roles in many diseases. We previously showed that insulin triggers the epigenetic regulator DBC1 to prime SIRT1 for repression by the multifunctional trafficking protein PACS-2. Here, we show that liver DBC1/PACS-2 regulates the diurnal inhibition of SIRT1, which is critically important for insulin-dependent switch in fuel metabolism from fat to glucose oxidation. We present the x-ray structure of the DBC1 S1-like domain that binds SIRT1 and an NMR characterization of how the SIRT1 N-terminal region engages DBC1. This interaction is inhibited by acetylation of K112 of DBC1 and stimulated by the insulin-dependent phosphorylation of human SIRT1 at S162 and S172, catalyzed sequentially by CK2 and GSK3, resulting in the PACS-2-dependent inhibition of nuclear SIRT1 enzymatic activity and translocation of the deacetylase in the cytoplasm. Finally, we discuss how defects in the DBC1/PACS-2-controlled SIRT1 inhibitory pathway are associated with disease, including obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
The importance of circular RNA has been reported in cancer development. However, the role and mechanism of circ_0000370 in CRC progression are still unclear. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were performed to measure RNA and protein expression. Cell proliferation was assessed by cell colony formation assay and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay. Flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis. Cell migration and invasion were detected by transwell assay. The intermolecular target relations between miR-502-5p and circ_0000370 or SIRT1 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. A xenograft tumor model was established to examine the role of circ_0000370 in tumor growth in vivo. As compared with controls, the expression of circ_0000370 was upregulated in CRC tissues and cells. Circ_0000370 depletion inhibited CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion but induced cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, circ_0000370 depletion restrained tumor growth in vivo. In addition, miR-502-5p inhibitor partly reverted the impacts of circ_0000370 knockdown on CRC cells. Moreover, miR-502-5p mimic-caused effects on cell phenotypes were attenuated by SIRT1 overexpression. Circ_0000370 induced the proliferation and metastasis of CRC cells by sponging miR-502-5p and enhancing SIRT1 expression, which provided a possible target for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a debilitating disorder characterized by spontaneous and mechanical allodynia. The role of skin mechanoreceptors in the development of mechanical allodynia is unclear. We discovered that mice with diabetic neuropathy had decreased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) deacetylase activity in foot skin, leading to reduced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and subsequent loss of innervation in Meissner corpuscles, a mechanoreceptor expressing the BDNF receptor TrkB. When SIRT1 was depleted from skin, the mechanical allodynia worsened in diabetic neuropathy mice, likely due to retrograde degeneration of the Meissner-corpuscle innervating Aβ axons and aberrant formation of Meissner corpuscles which may have increased the mechanosensitivity. The same phenomenon was also noted in skin-keratinocyte specific BDNF knockout mice. Furthermore, overexpression of SIRT1 in skin induced Meissner corpuscle reinnervation and regeneration, resulting in significant improvement of diabetic mechanical allodynia. Overall, the findings suggested that skin-derived SIRT1 and BDNF function in the same pathway in skin sensory apparatus regeneration and highlighted the potential of developing topical SIRT1-activating compounds as a novel treatment for diabetic mechanical allodynia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of astaxanthin (AST) on mouse osteoarthritis (OA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ATDC5 cell damage and to explore whether SIRT1 protein plays a role. METHODS In this study, some mouse OA models were constructed by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Imaging, molecular biology and histopathology methods were used to study the effect of AST administration on traumatic OA in mice. In addition, LPS was used to stimulate ATDC5 cells to mimic the inflammatory response of OA. The effects of AST on the cell activity, inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases and collagen type II levels were studied by CCK8 activity assay, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and protein imprinting. The role of SIRT1 protein was also detected. RESULTS In the mouse OA model, the articular surface collapsed, the articular cartilage thickness and cartilage matrix protein abundance were significantly decreased, while the expression of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases was increased; but AST treatment reversed these effects. Meanwhile, AST pretreatment could partially reverse LPS-induced ATDC5 cell damage and upregulate SIRT1 expression, but this protective effect of AST was attenuated by concurrent administration of the SIRT1 inhibitor Ex527. CONCLUSION AST can protect against the early stages of OA by affecting SIRT1 signalling, suggesting that AST might be a potential therapeutic agent for OA treatment.

Abstract
TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent enzyme and responsible for deacetylating the proteins. Increasing numbers of reports have shown that the molecular mechanism of SIRT1 as an effective therapeutic target for liver fibrosis but the transformation is not very clear. In the present study, liver fibrotic tissues were screened by staining with Masson, hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for histopathological observation from the liver biopsy of seventy-seven rhesus monkey, which fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) after treatment with high-fat diet (HFD) for two years. And the liver function was further determined by serum biochemical tests. The mRNA levels and protein expression of rat hepatic stellate (HSC-T6) cells were determined after treatment with Resveratrol (RSV) and Nicotinamide (NAM), respectively. The results showed that with the increasing of hepatic fibrosis in rhesus monkeys, the liver function impaired, and the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), p-Smad3 (p-Smad3) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was up-regulated, while SIRT1 and Smad7 were down-regulated. Moreover, when stimulated the HSC-T6 with RSV to activate SIRT1 for 6, 12, and 24 h, the results showed that RSV promoted the expression of smad7, while the expression of TGF-β1, p-Smad3 and α-SMA were inhibited. In contrast, when the cells stimulated with NAM to inhibit SIRT1 for 6, 12, and 24 h, the Smad7 expression was decreased, while TGF-β1, p-Smad3, and α-SMA expressions were increased. These results indicate that SIRT1 acts as an important protective factor for liver fibrosis, which may be attributed to inhibiting the signaling pathway of TGF-β/Smad in hepatic fibrosis of the rhesus monkey.

Abstract
Background This study focuses on the role of SIRT1 in neuroinflammation caused by early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and explores its mechanism in mitophagy after SAH. Methods C57BL/6J mice and primary microglia SAH in vivo and in vitro models were constructed to explore the expression level of SIRT1 in neuroinflammation after SAH. Subsequently, the brain edema content, blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage and neurological function scores of the mice were observed after using the SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527. q-PCR and Western blot were used to detect relevant genes and proteins, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α inflammatory factors. Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the positive level of SIRT1 and the degree of mitochondria-lysosome fusion, and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe mitochondrial damage and autophagosome levels. Results In in vivo and in vitro experiments, we found that SIRT1 expression increased after SAH, and neurological deficits, brain edema, and blood-brain barrier damage after SAH were aggravated. Inhibiting SIRT1 further aggravates the aforementioned damage. In addition, EX-527 can also inhibit the level of mitophagy and aggravate neuroinflammation after SAH. Conclusion Our results indicated that SIRT1 promotes mitophagy and alleviates neuroinflammation after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used and highly toxic herbicide that poses a significant risk to human health. The main consequence of PQ poisoning is pulmonary fibrosis, which can result in respiratory failure and potentially death. Our research aims to uncover a crucial mechanism in which PQ poisoning induces senescence in epithelial cells, ultimately regulating the activation of pulmonary fibroblasts through the exosomal pathway. METHODS Cellular senescence was determined by immunohistochemistry and SA-β-Gal staining. The expression of miRNAs was measured by qPCR. Pulmonary fibroblasts treated with specific siRNA of SIRT1 or LV-SIRT1 were used to analysis senescent exosomes-mediated fibroblasts activation. Luciferase reporter assay and western blot were performed to elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms. The effects of miR-217-5p antagomir on pulmonary fibrosis were assessed in PQ-poisoned mice models. RESULTS Impairing the secretion of exosomes effectively mitigates the harmful effects of senescent epithelial cells on pulmonary fibroblasts, offering protection against PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Additionally, we have identified a remarkable elevation of miR-217-5p expression in the exosomes of PQ-treated epithelial cells, which specifically contributes to fibroblasts activation via targeted inhibition of SIRT1, a protein involved in cellular stress response. Remarkably, suppression of miR-217-5p effectively impaired senescent epithelial cells-induced fibroblasts activation. Further investigation has revealed that miR-217-5p attenuated SIRT1 expression and subsequently resulted in enhanced acetylation of β-catenin and Wnt signaling activation. CONCLUSION These findings highlight a potential strategy for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ poisoning. Disrupting the communication between senescent epithelial cells and pulmonary fibroblasts, particularly by targeting the miR-217-5p/SIRT1/β-catenin axis, may be able to alleviate the effects of PQ poisoning on the lungs.

Abstract
Neuro-inflammation involves distinct alterations of microglial phenotypes, containing nocuous pro-inflammatory M1-phenotype and neuroprotective anti-inflammatory M-phenotype. Currently, there is no effective treatment for modulating such alterations. M1/M2 marker of primary microglia influenced by Melatonin were detected via qPCR. Functional activities were explored by western blotting, luciferase activity, EMSA, and ChIP assay. Structure interaction was assessed by molecular docking and LIGPLOT analysis. ER-stress detection was examined by ultrastructure TEM, calapin activity, and ERSE assay. The functional neurobehavioral evaluations were used for investigation of Melatonin on the neuroinflammation in vivo. Melatonin had targeted on Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Delta (PPARδ) activity, boosted LPS-stimulated alterations in polarization from the M1 to the M2 phenotype, and thereby inhibited NFκB-IKKβ activation in primary microglia. The PPARδ agonist L-165,041 or over-expression of PPARδ plasmid (ov-PPARδ) showed similar results. Molecular docking screening, dynamic simulation approaches, and biological studies of Melatonin showed that the activated site was located at PPARδ (phospho-Thr256-PPARδ). Activated microglia had lowered PPARδ activity as well as the downstream SIRT1 formation via enhancing ER-stress. Melatonin, PPARδ agonist and ov-PPARδ all effectively reversed the above-mentioned effects. Melatonin blocked ER-stress by regulating calapin activity and expression in LPS-activated microglia. Additionally, Melatonin or L-165,041 ameliorated the neurobehavioral deficits in LPS-aggravated neuroinflammatory mice through blocking microglia activities, and also promoted phenotype changes to M2-predominant microglia. Melatonin suppressed neuro-inflammation in vitro and in vivo by tuning microglial activation through the ER-stress-dependent PPARδ/SIRT1 signaling cascade. This treatment strategy is an encouraging pharmacological approach for the remedy of neuro-inflammation associated disorders.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have found that long-term inhalation of PM2.5 is closely related to spermatogenesis disorders and infertility, but the underlying molecular mechanism is still unidentified. Testosterone, an essential reproductive hormone produced by Leydig cells, whose synthesis is disrupted by multiple environmental pollutants. In the current study, we explored the role of METTL3-m6A-SIRT1 axis-mediated abnormal autophagy in PM2.5-induced inhibition of testosterone production in in vivo and in vitro models. Our in vivo findings shown that long-term inhalation of PM2.5 decreased sperm count, increased sperm deformity rates, and altered testicular interstitial morphology accompanied by reduced testosterone in serum and testes. Further, data from the in vitro model displayed that exposure to PM2.5 caused an increase in m6A modification and METTL3 levels, followed by a decrease in testosterone levels and autophagy dysfunction in Leydig cells. The knockdown of METTL3 promotes autophagy flux and testosterone production in Leydig cells. Mechanistically, PM2.5 increased METTL3-induced m6A modification of SIRT1 mRNA in Leydig cells, bringing about abnormal autophagy. Subsequently, administration of SRT1720 (a SIRT1 activator) enhanced autophagy and further promoted testosterone biosynthesis. Collectively, our discoveries indicate that METTL3-m6A-SIRT1 axis-mediated autophagic flux contributes to PM2.5-induced inhibition of testosterone biosynthesis. This research offers a novel viewpoint on the mechanism of male reproductive injury following PM2.5 exposure.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening condition characterized by dysregulated immune responses, remains a significant clinical challenge. Myricanol, a natural compound, plays a variety of roles in regulating lipid metabolism, anti-cancer, anti-neurodegeneration, and it could act as an Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanism of myricanol in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis model. In vivo studies revealed that myricanol administration significantly improved the survival rate of LPS-treated mice, effectively mitigating LPS-induced inflammatory responses in lung tissue. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrated that myricanol treatment inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated signal pathway activation, and reduced oxidative stress in macrophages. In addition, we demonstrated that myricanol selectively enhances SIRT1 activation in LPS-stimulated macrophages, and all of the protective effect of myricanol were reversed through SIRT1 silencing. Remarkably, the beneficial effects of myricanol against LPS-induced sepsis were abolished in SIRT1 myeloid-specific knockout mice, underpinning the critical role of SIRT1 in mediating myricanol's therapeutic efficacy. In summary, this study provides significant evidence that myricanol acts as a potent SIRT1 activator, targeting inflammatory signal pathways and oxidative stress to suppress excessive inflammatory responses. Our findings highlight the potential of myricanol as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of LPS-induced sepsis.

Abstract
Certain genetic factors, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SIRT1 gene, have been linked to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This study examined four SNPs in the SIRT1 gene and implemented multivariate statistical analysis to analyze genetic and clinical factors in MRONJ patients. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples of 63 patients of European origin treated for MRONJ, and four SNP genotypes in the gene encoding the SIRT-1 protein were determined by Sanger sequencing. The allele frequencies measured in the MRONJ population were compared with allele frequencies measured in the European population in the National Center for Biotechnology Information Allele Frequency Aggregator (NCBI ALFA) database. Genetic and clinical factors were examined with multivariate statistical analysis. A C:A allele distribution ratio of 77.8:22.2 was measured in the rs932658 SNP. In the ALFA project, a C:A allele distribution ratio of 59.9:40.1 was detected in the European population, which was found to be a significant difference (p = 4.5 × 10-5). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation (0.275) between the genotype of SNP rs932658 and the number of stages improved during appropriate MRONJ therapy. It is concluded that allele A in SNP rs932658 in the SIRT1 gene acts as a protective factor in MRONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) has always been a significant research focus of clinical neuroscience, with inhibition of microglia-mediated neuro-inflammation as well as oxidative stress key to successful SCI patient treatment. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a compound extracted from propolis, has both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, but its SCI therapeutic effects have rarely been reported. METHODS We constructed a mouse spinal cord contusion model and administered CAPE intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days after injury, and methylprednisolone (MP) was used as a positive control. Hematoxylin-eosin, Nissl, and Luxol Fast Blue staining were used to assess the effect of CAPE on the structures of nervous tissue after SCI. Basso Mouse Scale scores and footprint analysis were used to explore the effect of CAPE on the recovery of motor function by SCI mice. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining assessed levels of inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress-related proteins both in vivo and in vitro after CAPE treatment. Further, reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cytoplasm were detected using an ROS kit. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential after CAPE treatment were detected with 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide. Mechanistically, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the effect of CAPE on the SIRT1/PGC1α/DRP1 signaling pathway. RESULTS CAPE-treated SCI mice showed less neuronal tissue loss, more neuronal survival, and reduced demyelination. Interestingly, SCI mice treated with CAPE showed better recovery of motor function. CAPE treatment reduced the expression of inflammatory and oxidative mediators, including iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, 1L-6, NOX-2, and NOX-4, as well as the positive control MP both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, molecular docking experiments showed that CAPE had a high affinity for SIRT1, and that CAPE treatment significantly activated SIRT1 and PGC1α, with down-regulation of DRP1. Further, CAPE treatment significantly reduced the level of ROS in cellular cytoplasm and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, which improved normal mitochondrial function. After administering the SIRT1 inhibitor nicotinamide, the effect of CAPE on neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress was reversed.On the contrary, SIRT1 agonist SRT2183 further enhanced the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of CAPE, indicating that the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects of CAPE after SCI were dependent on SIRT1. CONCLUSION CAPE inhibits microglia-mediated neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress and supports mitochondrial function by regulating the SIRT1/PGC1α/DRP1 signaling pathway after SCI. These effects demonstrate that CAPE reduces nerve tissue damage. Therefore, CAPE is a potential drug for the treatment of SCI through production of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses hepatic steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is the primary cause of chronic liver disorders, with a high prevalence but no approved treatment. Therefore, it is indispensable to find a trustworthy therapy for NAFLD. Recently, mounting evidence illustrates that Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is strongly associated with NAFLD. SIRT1 activation or overexpression attenuate NAFLD, while SIRT1 deficiency aggravates NAFLD. Besides, an array of therapeutic agents, including natural compounds, synthetic compounds, traditional Chinese medicine formula, and stem cell transplantation, alleviates NALFD via SIRT1 activation or upregulation. Mechanically, SIRT1 alleviates NAFLD by reestablishing autophagy, enhancing mitochondrial function, suppressing oxidative stress, and coordinating lipid metabolism, as well as reducing hepatocyte apoptosis and inflammation. In this review, we introduced the structure and function of SIRT1 briefly, and summarized the effect of SIRT1 on NAFLD and its mechanism, along with the application of SIRT1 agonists in treating NAFLD.

Abstract
Cerebral infarction (CI) is one of the leading causes of disability and death. LncRNAs are key factors in CI progression. Herein, we studied the function of long noncoding RNA KCNQ1OT1 in CI patient plasma samples and in CI models. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting tested gene and protein expressions. The interactions of KCNQ1OT1/PTBP1 and miR-16-5p were analyzed using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays; MTT assays measured cell viability. Cell migration and angiogenesis were tested by wound healing and tube formation assays. Pathological changes were analyzed by triphenyltetrazolium chloride and routine staining. We found that KCNQ1OT1 and PTBP1 were overexpressed and miR-16-5p was downregulated in CI patient plasma and in oxygen-glucose deprived (OGD) induced mouse brain microvascular endothelial (bEnd.3) cells. KCNQ1OT1 knockdown suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production and stimulated angiogenic responses in OGD-bEnd.3 cells. KCNQ1OT1 upregulated PTBP1 by sponging miR-16-5p. PTBP1 overexpression or miR-16-5p inhibition attenuated the effects of KCNQ1OT1 knockdown. PTBP1 silencing protected against OGD-bEnd.3 cell injury by enhancing SIRT1. KCNQ1OT1 silencing or miR-16-5p overexpression also alleviated ischemic injury in a mice middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Thus, KCNQ1OT1 silencing alleviates CI by regulating the miR-16-5p/PTBP1/SIRT1 pathway, providing a theoretical basis for novel therapeutic strategies targeting CI.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe pathophysiological syndrome resulting in heart failure, which is found to be induced by pulmonary vascular remodeling mediated by oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation. Phoenixin-20 (PNX-20) is a reproductive peptide first discovered in mice with potential suppressive properties against OS and inflammatory response. Our study will explore the possible therapeutic functions of PHN-20 against PAH for future clinical application. Rats were treated with normal saline, PHN-20 (100 ng/g body weight daily), hypoxia, hypoxia+PHN-20 (100 ng/g body weight daily), respectively. A signally elevated RVSP, mPAP, RV/LV + S, and W%, increased secretion of cytokines, enhanced malondialdehyde (MDA) level, repressed superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and activated NLRP3 signaling were observed in hypoxia-stimulated rats, which were notably reversed by PHN-20 administration. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMECs) were treated with hypoxia with or without PHN-20 (10 and 20 nM). Marked elevation of inflammatory cytokine secretion, increased MDA level, repressed SOD activity, and activated NLRP3 signaling were observed in hypoxia-stimulated PMECs, accompanied by a downregulation of SIRT1. Furthermore, the repressive effect of PHN-20 on the domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway in hypoxia-stimulated PMECs was abrogated by sirtuin1 (SIRT1) knockdown. Collectively, PHN-20 alleviated PAH via inhibiting OS and inflammation by mediating the transcriptional function of SIRT1.

Abstract
Type I and type II IFNs are important immune modulators in both innate and adaptive immunity. They transmit signaling by activating JAK-STAT pathways. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a class III NAD+-dependent deacetylase, has multiple functions in a variety of physiological processes. Here, we characterized the novel functions of SIRT1 in the regulation of type I and type II IFN-induced signaling. Overexpression of SIRT1 inhibited type I and type II IFN-induced interferon-stimulated response element activation. In contrast, knockout of SIRT1 promoted type I and type II IFN-induced expression of ISGs and inhibited viral replication. Treatment with SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 had similar positive effects. SIRT1 physically associated with STAT1 or STAT3, and this interaction was enhanced by IFN stimulation or viral infection. By deacetylating STAT1 at K673 and STAT3 at K679/K685/K707/K709, SIRT1 downregulated the phosphorylation of STAT1 (Y701) and STAT3 (Y705). Sirt1+/- primary peritoneal macrophages and Sirt1+/- mice exhibited enhanced IFN-induced signaling and antiviral activity. Thus, SIRT1 is a novel negative regulator of type I and type II IFN-induced signaling through its deacetylase activity.IMPORTANCESIRT1 has been reported in the precise regulation of antiviral (RNA and DNA) immunity. However, its functions in type I and type II IFN-induced signaling are still unclear. In this study, we deciphered the important functions of SIRT1 in both type I and type II IFN-induced JAK-STAT signaling and explored the potential acting mechanisms. It is helpful for understanding the regulatory roles of SIRT1 at different levels of IFN signaling. It also consolidates the notion that SIRT1 is an important target for intervention in viral infection, inflammatory diseases, or even interferon-related therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic progress of fertility and reproduction traits in dairy cattle has been constrained by the low heritability of these traits. Identifying candidate genes and variants associated with fertility and reproduction could enhance the accuracy of genetic selection and expedite breeding process of dairy cattle with low-heritability traits. While the bovine LAP3 and SIRT1 genes exhibit well-documented associations with milk production traits in dairy cattle, their effect on cow fertility have not yet been explored. Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), comprising five in the promoter (rs717156555: C > G, rs720373055: T > C, rs516876447: A > G, rs461857269: C > T and rs720349928: G > A), two in 5'UTR (rs722359733: C > T and rs462932574: T > G), two in intron 12 (rs110932626: A > G and rs43702363: C > T), and one in 3'UTR of exon 13 (rs41255599: C > T) in LAP3 and one in SIRT1 (rs718329990:T > C) genes, have previously been reported to be associated with various traits of milk production and clinical mastitis in Sahiwal and Karan Fries dairy cattle. In this study, the analysis primarily aimed to assess the impact of SNPs within LAP3 and SIRT1 genes on fertility traits in Sahiwal and Karan Fries cattle. Association studies were conducted using mixed linear models, involving 125 Sahiwal and 138 Karan Fries animals in each breed. The analysis utilized a designated PCR-RFLP panel. RESULTS In the promoter region of the LAP3 gene, all variants demonstrated significant (P < 0.05) associations with AFC, except for rs722359733: C > T. However, specific variants with the LAP3 gene's promoter region, namely rs722359733: C > T, rs110932626: A > G, rs43702363: C > T, and rs41255599: C > T, showed significant associations with CI and DO in Sahiwal and Karan Fries cows, respectively. The SNP rs718329990: T > C in the promoter region of SIRT1 gene exhibited a significant association with CI and DO in Sahiwal cattle. Haplotype-based association analysis revealed significant associations between haplotype combinations and AFC, CI and DO in the studied dairy cattle population. Animals with H2H3 and H2H4 haplotype combination exhibited higher AFC, CI and DO than other combinations. CONCLUSIONS These results affirm the involvement of the LAP3 and SIRT1 genes in female fertility traits, indicating that polymorphisms within these genes are linked to the studied traits. Overall, the significant SNPs and haplotypes identified in this study could have the potential to enhance herd profitability and ensure long-term sustainability on dairy farms by enabling the selection of animals with early age first calving and enhance reproductive performance in the dairy cattle breeding program.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful anthracycline antineoplastic drug used to treat a wide spectrum of tumors. However, its clinical application is limited due to cardiotoxic side effects. Astragaloside IV (AS IV), one of the major compounds present in aqueous extracts of Astragalus membranaceus, possesses potent cardiovascular protective properties, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of AS IV on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Our findings revealed that DOX induced pyroptosis through the caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) and caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathways. AS IV treatment significantly improved the cardiac function and alleviated myocardial injury in DOX-exposed mice by regulating intestinal flora and inhibiting pyroptosis; markedly suppressed the levels of cleaved caspase-1, N-GSDMD, cleaved caspase-3, and N-GSDME; and reversed DOX-induced downregulation of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in mice. The SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 significantly blocked the protective effects of AS IV. Collectively, our results suggest that AS IV protects against DIC by inhibiting pyroptosis through the SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway.

Abstract
Male infertility is a global health problem that disturbs numerous couples worldwide. Basonuclin 1 (BNC1) is a transcription factor mainly expressed in proliferative keratinocytes and germ cells. A frameshift mutation of BNC1 was identified in a large Chinese primary ovarian insufficiency pedigree. The expression of BNC1 was significantly decreased in the testis biopsies of infertile patients with nonobstructive azoospermia. Previous studies have revealed that mice with BNC1 deficiency are generally subfertile and undergo gradual spermatogenic failure. We observed that apoptosis of spermatogonia is tightly related to spermatogenic failure in mice with a Bnc1 truncation mutation. Such impairment is related to mitochondrial dysfunction causing lower mitochondrial membrane potential and higher reactive oxygen species. We showed that downregulation of CREB/SIRT1/FOXO3 signaling participates in the above impairment. Administration of nicotinamide riboside or metformin reversed mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibited apoptosis in Bnc1-knockdown spermatogonia by stimulating CREB/SIRT1/FOXO3 signaling. Dietary supplementation with nicotinamide riboside or metformin in mutated mice increased SIRT1 signaling, improved the architecture of spermatogenic tubules, inhibited apoptosis of the testis, and improved the fertility of mice with a Bnc1 truncation mutation. Our data establish that oral nicotinamide riboside or metformin can be useful for the treatment of spermatogenic failure induced by Bnc1 mutation.

Abstract
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a NAD+-dependent class III deacetylase that plays important roles in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, positioning it as a prime candidate for therapeutic intervention. Among its modulators, SRT2104 emerges as the most specific small molecule activator of SIRT1, currently advancing into the clinical translation phase. The primary objective of this review is to evaluate the emerging roles of SRT2104, and to explore its potential as a therapeutic agent in various diseases. In the present review, we systematically summarized the findings from an extensive array of literature sources including the progress of its application in disease treatment and its potential molecular mechanisms by reviewing the literature published in databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. We focuses on the strides made in employing SRT2104 for disease treatment, elucidating its potential molecular underpinnings based on preclinical and clinical research data. The findings reveal that SRT2104, as a potent SIRT1 activator, holds considerable therapeutic potential, particularly in modulating metabolic and longevity-related pathways. This review establishes SRT2104 as a leading SIRT1 activator with significant therapeutic promise.

Abstract
Background Annao Pingchong decoction (ANPCD) is a traditional Chinese decoction which has definite effects on treating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) validated through clinical and experimental studies. However, the impact of ANPCD on oxidative stress (OS) after ICH remains unclear and is worth further investigating. Aim To investigate whether the therapeutic effects of ANPCD on ICH are related to alleviating OS damage and seek potential targets for its antioxidant effects. Materials and Methods The therapeutic candidate genes of ANPCD on ICH were identified through a comparison of the target genes of ANPCD, target genes of ICH and differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and functional enrichment analysis were combined with targets-related literature to select suitable antioxidant targets. The affinity between ANPCD and the selected target was verified using macromolecular docking. Subsequently, the effects of ANPCD on OS and the selected target were further investigated through in vivo experiments. Results Forty-eight candidate genes were screened, in which silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is one of the core genes that has antioxidant effects and ICH significantly affected its expression. The good affinity between 6 compounds of ANPCD and SIRT1 was also demonstrated by macromolecular docking. The results of in vivo experiments demonstrated that ANPCD significantly decreased modified neurological severity scoring (mNSS) scores and serum MDA and 8-OHdG content in ICH rats, while significantly increasing serum SOD and CAT activity, complicated with the up-regulation of ANPCD on SIRT1, FOXO1, PGC-1α and Nrf2. Furthermore, ANPCD significantly decreased the apoptosis rate and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (P53, cytochrome c and caspase-3). Conclusion ANPCD alleviates OS damage and apoptosis after ICH in rats. As a potential therapeutic target, SIRT1 can be effectively regulated by ANPCD, as are its downstream proteins.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a debilitating disorder characterized by spontaneous and mechanical pain. The role of skin mechanoreceptors in the development of mechanical pain (allodynia) is unclear. We discovered that mice with diabetic neuropathy had decreased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) deacetylase activity in foot skin, leading to reduced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and subsequent loss of innervation in Meissner corpuscles, a mechanoreceptor expressing the BDNF receptor TrkB. When SIRT1 was depleted from skin, the mechanical allodynia worsened in diabetic neuropathy mice, likely due to retrograde degeneration of the Meissner-corpuscle innervating Aβ axons and aberrant formation of Meissner corpuscles which may have increased the mechanosensitivity. The same phenomenon was also noted in skin BDNF knockout mice. Furthermore, overexpression of SIRT1 in skin induced Meissner corpuscle reinnervation and regeneration, resulting in significant improvement of diabetic mechanical allodynia. Overall, the findings suggested that skin-derived SIRT1 and BDNF function in the same pathway in skin sensory apparatus regeneration and highlighted the potential of developing topical SIRT1-activating compounds as a novel treatment for diabetic mechanical allodynia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Condensin, a family of structural maintenance of chromosome complexes, has been shown to regulate chromosome compaction and segregation during mitosis. NCAPD3, a HEAT-repeat subunit of condensin II, plays a dominant role in condensin-mediated chromosome dynamics but remains unexplored in lymphoma. OBJECTIVES The study aims to unravel the molecular function and mechanism of NCAPD3 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS The expression and clinical significance of NCAPD3 were assessed in public database and clinical specimens. Chromosome spreads, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), mass spectrometry (MS), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were conducted to untangle the role and mechanism of NCAPD3 in DLBCL. RESULTS NCAPD3 was highly expressed in DLBCL, correlated with poor prognosis. NCAPD3 deficiency impeded cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and increased the chemosensitivity. Instead, NCAPD3 overexpression facilitated cell proliferation. In vivo experiments further indicated targeting NCAPD3 suppressed tumor growth. Noteworthily, NCAPD3 deficiency disturbed the mitosis, triggering the formation of aneuploids. To reveal the function of NCAPD3 in DLBCL, chromosome spreads were conducted, presenting that chromosomes became compact upon NCAPD3 overexpression, instead, loose, twisted and lacking axial rigidity upon NCAPD3 absence. Meanwhile, the classical transcription-activated marker, H3K4 trimethylation, was found globally upregulated after NCAPD3 knockout, suggesting that NCAPD3 might participate in chromatin remodeling and transcription regulation. MS revealed NCAPD3 could interact with transcription factor, TFII I. Further co-IP and ChIP assays verified NCAPD3 could be anchored at the promoter of SIRT1 by TFII I and then supported the transcription of SIRT1 via recognizing H3K9 monomethylation (H3K9me1) on SIRT1 promoter. Function reversion assay verified the oncogenic role of NCAPD3 in DLBCL was partially mediated by SIRT1. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that dysregulation of NCAPD3 could disturb chromosome compaction and segregation and regulate the transcription activity of SIRT1 in an H3K9me1-dependent manner, which provided novel insights into targeted strategy for DLBCL.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that PM2.5 poses a risk for congenital heart diseases, but the mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that AHR activated by PM2.5 might cause mitochondrial damage via PGC-1α dysregulation, leading to heart defects. We initially discovered that the PGC-1α activator ZLN005 counteracted cardiac defects in zebrafish larvae exposed to EOM (extractable organic matter) from PM2.5. Moreover, ZLN005 attenuated EOM-induced PGC-1α downregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction/biogenesis, and apoptosis. EOM exposure not only decreased PGC-1α expression levels, but suppressed its activity via deacetylation, and SIRT1 activity is required during both processes. We then found that SIRT1 expression levels and NAD+/NADH ratio were reduced in an AHR-dependent way. We also demonstrated that AHR directly suppressed the transcription of SIRT1 while promoted the transcription of TiPARP which consumed NAD+. In conclusion, our study suggests that PM2.5 induces mitochondrial damage and heart defects via AHR/SIRT1/PGC-1α signal pathway.
