Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol consumption is a significant cause of liver disease worldwide. Several biochemical mechanisms have been linked to the initiation and progression of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation, including the disruption of NAD+/NADH. Indeed, an ethanol-mediated reduction in hepatic NAD+ levels is thought to be one factor underlying ethanol-induced steatosis, oxidative stress, steatohepatitis, insulin resistance, and inhibition of gluconeogenesis. Therefore, we applied a NAD+ boosting supplement to investigate alterations in the pathogenesis of early-stage ALD. METHODS To examine the impact of NAD+ therapy on the early stages of ALD, we utilized nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) at 500 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection every other day, for the duration of a Lieber-DeCarli 6-week chronic ethanol model in mice. Numerous strategies were employed to characterize the effect of NMN therapy, including the integration of RNA-seq, immunoblotting, and metabolomics analysis. RESULTS Our findings reveal that NMN therapy increased hepatic NAD+ levels, prevented an ethanol-induced increase in plasma ALT and AST, and changed the expression of 25% of the genes that were modulated by ethanol metabolism. These genes were associated with a number of pathways including the MAPK pathway. Interestingly, our analysis revealed that NMN treatment normalized Erk1/2 signaling and prevented an induction of Atf3 overexpression. CONCLUSIONS These findings reveal previously unreported mechanisms by which NMN supplementation alters hepatic gene expression and protein pathways to impact ethanol hepatotoxicity in an early-stage murine model of ALD. Overall, our data suggest further research is needed to fully characterize treatment paradigms and biochemical implications of NAD+-based interventions.

Abstract
Sirtuins are unique posttranslational modification enzymes that utilize NAD+ as the co-substrate to remove acyl groups from lysine residues. The deacylation events result in profound biological consequences, from transcription silencing to metabolism regulation. This article focuses on a newly developed technology using activity-based chemical probes to report sirtuin functional state in various settings. These chemical probes, thioacyllysine peptides carrying photo-cross-linker as well as bioorthogonal functionality, target the active site of sirtuins to form stalled reaction intermediate. Subsequently, the probe forms covalent adduct with the protein through photocrosslinking. Ultimately, the active sirtuin can be visualized via "click" chemistry-mediated conjugation to a fluorescent tag. Here, we describe the labeling protocols on recombinant protein, whole cell lysate, and in situ labeling.

Abstract
Background Chemoresistance is an obstacle to the successful treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Lapatinib is a targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapeutic drug also used to treat NPC, but high doses are often required to achieve a result. To investigate the mechanism for the development of Lapatinib resistance, we characterised a number of NPC cell lines to determine the role of FOXO3 and sirtuins in regulating NPC resistance. Methods Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays, Clonogenic assays, Protein extraction, quantification and western blotting, RT qPCR, Co-immunoprecipitation assay. Results To explore novel treatment strategies, we first characterized the Lapatinib-sensitivity of a panel of NPC cell lines by SRB and clonogenic cytotoxic assays and found that the metastatic NPC (C666–1 and 5-8F) cells are highly resistant whereas the poorly metastatic lines (6-10B, TW01 and HK-1) are sensitive to Lapatinib. Western blot analysis of the Lapatinib-sensitive 6-10B and resistant 5-8F NPC cells showed that the expression of phosphorylated/inactive FOXO3 (P-FOXO3;T32), its target FOXM1 and its regulator SIRT2 correlate negatively with Lapatinib response and sensitivity, suggesting that SIRT2 mediates FOXO3 deacetylation to promote Lapatinib resistance. In agreement, clonogenic cytotoxic assays using wild-type and foxo1/3/4−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) showed that FOXO1/3/4-deletion significantly attenuates Lapatinib-induced cytotoxicity, confirming that FOXO proteins are essential for mediating Lapatinib response. SRB cell viability assays using chemical SIRT inhibitors (i.e. sirtinol, Ex527, AGK2 and AK1) revealed that all SIRT inhibitors can reduce NPC cell viability, but only the SIRT2-specific inhibitors AK1 and AGK2 further enhance the Lapatinib cytotoxicity. Consistently, clonogenic assays demonstrated that the SIRT2 inhibitors AK1 and AGK2 as well as SIRT2-knockdown increase Lapatinib cytotoxicity further in both the sensitive and resistant NPC cells. Co-immunoprecipitation studies showed that besides Lapatinib treatment, SIRT2-pharmaceutical inhibition and silencing also led to an increase in FOXO3 acetylation. Importantly, SIRT2 inhibition and depletion further enhanced Lapatinib-mediated FOXO3-acetylation in NPC cells. Conclusion Collectively, our results suggest the involvement of SIRT2-mediated FOXO3 deacetylation in Lapatinib response and sensitivity, and that SIRT2 can specifically antagonise the cytotoxicity of Lapatinib through mediating FOXO3 deacetylation in both sensitive and resistant NPC cells. The present findings also propose that SIRT2 can be an important biomarker for metastatic and Lapatinib resistant NPC and that targeting the SIRT2-FOXO3 axis may provide novel strategies for treating NPC and for overcoming chemoresistance.

Abstract
AIM The present study explored the role and possible interrelationship between orexin B-sirtuin 1-HIF-1α signaling pathways in diabetes-mellitus induced vascular dysfunction and enhancement in myocardial injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) was employed to induce diabetes mellitus in male Wistar albino rats, which were kept for eight weeks. The vascular function was noted by assessing acetylcholine-induced relaxation in norepinephrine precontracted mesenteric arteries. The hearts were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury on the Langendorff apparatus. Myocardial injury was assessed by noting the release of CK-MB, cardiac troponin and measuring myocardial infarction. The levels of orexin B, sirtuin 1 and HIF-1α were measured. YNT-185 (orexin B type 2 receptor agonist), STR2104 (sirtuin 1 agonist) and EX527 (sirtuin 1 antagonist) were employed as pharmacological tools. RESULTS Diabetes led to significant development of vascular dysfunction and enhanced ischemia-reperfusion injury in isolated hearts. There was a significant decrease in the levels of orexin B, sirtuin 1 and HIF-1α in diabetic animals. Treatment with YNT-185 and/or STR2104 significantly attenuated the diabetes-induced increase in myocardial injury and vascular dysfunction. Co-administration of EX527 abolished the effects of YNT-185 suggesting orexin B-mediated effects may be through activation of sirtuin 1. Moreover, YNT-185-induced increase in the expression of sirtuin 1 and HIF-1α was also abolished in the presence of EX527. CONCLUSION Diabetes-induced significant decline in orexin B levels in the plasma along with a decrease in the expression of sirtuin 1 and HIF-1α in the heart following ischemia-reperfusion injury may possibly contribute in exacerbating the myocardial injury and vascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Studies have suggested that sirtuin inhibition may have beneficial effects on several age-related diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. Garcinia mangostana is a well-known tropical plant found mostly in South East Asia with several positive health effects. Some of its phytochemicals such as α-mangostin was found to be able to modulate sirtuin activity in mice and was implicated with inflammation, diabetes and obesity. However, comprehensive studies on sirtuin activity by the prenylated xanthones extracted from Garcinia mangostana have yet to be reported. The present study led to the discovery and identification of γ-mangostin as a potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitor. It was demonstrated that γ-mangostin was able to increase the α-tubulin acetylation in MDA-MD-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It was also found to possess potent antiproliferative activity against both cell lines. In addition, it was able to induce neurite outgrowth in the N2a cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS As a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase and a key epigenetic regulator, sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) has been implicated in the regulation of metabolism, DNA repair, and inflammation. However, the role of SIRT6 in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the function and mechanism of SIRT6 in ALD pathogenesis. METHODS We developed and characterized Sirt6 knockout (KO) and transgenic mouse models that were treated with either control or ethanol diet. Hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress were analyzed using biochemical and histological methods. Gene regulation was analyzed by luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS The Sirt6 KO mice developed severe liver injury characterized by a remarkable increase of oxidative stress and inflammation, whereas the Sirt6 transgenic mice were protected from ALD via normalization of hepatic lipids, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. Our molecular analysis has identified a number of novel Sirt6-regulated genes that are involved in antioxidative stress, including metallothionein 1 and 2 (Mt1 and Mt2). Mt1/2 genes were downregulated in the livers of Sirt6 KO mice and patients with alcoholic hepatitis. Overexpression of Mt1 in the liver of Sirt6 KO mice improved ALD by reducing hepatic oxidative stress and inflammation. We also identified a critical link between SIRT6 and metal regulatory transcription factor 1 (Mtf1) via a physical interaction and functional coactivation. Mt1/2 promoter reporter assays showed a strong synergistic effect of SIRT6 on the transcriptional activity of Mtf1. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that SIRT6 plays a critical protective role against ALD and it may serve as a potential therapeutic target for ALD. LAY SUMMARY The liver, the primary organ for ethanol metabolism, can be damaged by the byproducts of ethanol metabolism, including reactive oxygen species. In this study, we have identified a key epigenetic regulator SIRT6 that plays a critical role in protecting the liver from oxidative stress-induced liver injury. Thus, our data suggest that SIRT6 may be a potential therapeutic target for alcohol-related liver disease.

Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD-dependent class III histone deacetylase, which modulate the epigenetic changes to influence the functions in normal and diseased conditions. Preclinical studies have described an increase in the levels of sirtuin 2 and decrease in the levels of sirtuin 6 in the lungs. Sirtuin 2 exerts proinflammatory actions and hence, its blockers reduce the airway inflammation and symptoms of asthma. On the other hand, sirtuin 6 is anti-inflammatory and its activators produce beneficial actions in asthma. The beneficial effects of sirtuin 6 have been attributed to decrease in acetylation of transcriptional factor GATA3 in the T cells, which is associated with decrease in the TH2 immune response. However, there seems to be dual role of sirtuin 1 in airway inflammation as its proinflammatory as well as anti-inflammatory actions have been described in asthma. The anti-inflammatory actions of sirtuin 1 have been attributed to decrease in acetylation of GATA3 and inhibition of Akt/NF-kappaB signaling. On the other hand, proinflammatory actions of sirtuin 1 have been attributed to increase in the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF along with repression of PPAR-γ activity. The present review discusses the role of different sirtuins in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Moreover, it also discusses sirtuin-triggered signaling pathways that may contribute in modulating the disease state of bronchial asthma.

Abstract
Sirtuins represent a group of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dependent histone deacetylases, which regulates various biological pathways by promoting chromatin silencing and transcriptional repression. Therefore, they are linked to cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, stress response, apoptosis, inflammation and fibrosis. Since sirtuin 1 became a promising candidate for targeted therapies of numerous conditions, researchers have been investigating its activator. As for now, natural agents and antidiabetic drug - metformin, have been found to activate sirtuin 1. Sirtuin 1 is able to improve kidney outcomes by direct impact on kidney cells, regulation of non-specific processes generally involved in pathogenesis of age-dependent and metabolic disorders and improvement of the comorbid diseases. This review discusses the state of the art knowledge on the role of sirtuin 1 on kidney pathology.

Abstract
The key role of mitochondria in oxidative metabolism and redox homeostasis explains the link between mitochondrial dysfunction and the development of metabolic disorders. Mitochondria's highly dynamic nature, based on alterations in biogenesis, mitophagy, fusion and fission, allows adjusting sequential redox reactions of the electron transport chain (ETC) and dissipation of the membrane potential by ATP synthase, to different environmental cues. With reactive oxygen species being an inevitable by-product of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), alterations on mitochondrial oxidative rate with a consequent excessive load of reactive oxygen species have been traditionally associated with pathological conditions. However, reactive oxygen species have also been suggested as promoters of mitohormesis, a process in which low, non-cytotoxic concentrations of reactive oxygen species promote mitochondrial homeostasis. Therefore, signaling systems involved in the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis are attractive candidates for drug development for metabolic diseases triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Reversible phosphorylation downstream the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling cascade and deacetylation mediated by sirtuins are recognized as major mitochondrial regulators.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification that acts as a regulator of protein function, subcellular localization, and interactions. A growing body of work has highlighted the importance of temporal alterations in protein acetylation during infection with a range of human viruses. It has become clear that both cellular and viral proteins are decorated by lysine acetylations, and that these modifications contribute to core host defense and virus replication processes. Further defining the extent and dynamics of protein acetylation events during the progression of an infection can provide an important new perspective on the intricate mechanisms underlying the biology and pathogenesis of virus infections. Here, we provide protocols for identifying, quantifying, and probing the regulation of lysine acetylations during viral infection. We describe the use of acetyl-lysine immunoaffinity purification and quantitative mass spectrometry for assessing the cellular acetylome at different stages of an infection. As an alternative to traditional antibody-mediated western blotting, we discuss the benefits of targeted mass spectrometry approaches for detecting and quantifying site-specific acetylations on proteins of interest. Specifically, we provide a protocol using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). We further discuss experimental considerations that are specific to studying viral infections. Finally, we provide a brief overview of the types of assays that can be employed to characterize the function of an acetylation event in the context of infection. As a method to interrogate the regulation of acetylation, we describe the Fluor de Lys assay for monitoring the enzymatic activities of deacetylases.

Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein deacylases and ADP-ribosyltransferases that are involved in a wide range of cellular processes including genome homeostasis and metabolism. Sirtuins are expressed in human and mouse oocytes yet their role during female gamete development are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of a mammalian sirtuin member, SIRT7, in oocytes using a mouse knockout (KO) model. Sirt7 KO females have compromised fecundity characterized by a rapid fertility decline with age, suggesting the existence of a diminished oocyte pool. Accordingly, Sirt7 KO females produced fewer oocytes and ovulated fewer eggs. Because of the documented role of SIRT7 in DNA repair, we investigated whether SIRT7 regulates prophase I when meiotic recombination occurs. Sirt7 KO pachynema-like staged oocytes had approximately twofold increased γH2AX signals associated with regions with unsynapsed chromosomes. Consistent with the presence of asynaptic chromosome regions, Sirt7 KO oocytes had fewer MLH1 foci (~one less), a mark of crossover-mediated repair, than WT oocytes. Moreover, this reduced level of crossing over is consistent with an observed twofold increased incidence of aneuploidy in Metaphase II eggs. In addition, we found that acetylated lysine 18 of histone H3 (H3K18ac), an established SIRT7 substrate, was increased at asynaptic chromosome regions suggesting a functional relationship between this epigenetic mark and chromosome synapsis. Taken together, our findings demonstrate a pivotal role for SIRT7 in oocyte meiosis by promoting chromosome synapsis and have unveiled the importance of SIRT7 as novel regulator of the reproductive lifespan.

Abstract
Yeast Sir2 is an NAD-dependent histone deacetylase related to oxidative stress and aging. In a previous study, we showed that Sir2 is regulated by S-glutathionylation of key cysteine residues located at the catalytic domain. Mutation of these residues results in strains with increased resistance to disulfide stress. In the present study, these mutant cells were highly resistant to acetic acid and had an increased chronological life span. Mutant cells had increased acetyl-CoA synthetase activity, which converts acetic acid generated by yeast metabolism to acetyl.CoA. This could explain the acetic acid resistance and lower levels of this toxic acid in the extracellular media during aging. Increased acetyl-CoA levels would raise lipid droplets, a source of energy during aging, and fuel glyoxylate-dependent gluconeogenesis. The key enzyme of this pathway, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1), showed increased activity in these Sir2 mutant cells during aging. Sir2 activity decreased when cells shifted to the diauxic phase in the mutant strains, compared to the WT strain. Since Pck1 is inactivated through Sir2-dependent deacetylation, the decline in Sir2 activity explained the rise in Pck1 activity. As a consequence, storage of sugars such as trehalose would increase. We conclude that extended longevity observed in the mutants was a combination of increased lipid droplets and trehalose, and decreased acetic acid in the extracellular media. These results offer a deeper understanding of the redox regulation of Sir2 in acetic acid resistance, which is relevant in some food and industrial biotechnology and also in the metabolism associated to calorie restriction, aging and pathologies such as diabetes.

Abstract
Objective Our aim is to analyzed the expression pattern of sirtuin(SIRT) superfamily and evaluated their prognostic values in serous ovarian cancer patients. Methods We first analyzed the differential expression of SIRT members among fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), primary serous ovarian cancers/tubal cancers (PSOCs/PSTCs), and omental metastases using GSE10971 and GSE30587 datasets. The prognostic values of SIRT members were evaluated using TCGA and GSE9891 dataset. Results SIRT3 and SIRT5 expression were significantly decreased and increased in PSOCs/PSTCs compared with that in normal counterparts, respectively. SIRT6 and SIRT7 were overexpressed in ometal metastases compared with corresponding primary counterparts. With respect to recurrence free survival, however, SIRT7 overexpression was correlated with better prognosis. A similar trend was observed by multivariable analysis. Regarding overall survival (OS), increased expression of SIRT3, SIRT5, and SIRT7 were associated with better survival by univariable analysis. Subsequent multivariable analysis showed that SIRT3 remained an independent favorable prognostic factor for OS. The SIRT3-related nomogram illustrated age at initial diagnosis as sharing the largest contribution to OS, followed by SIRT3 expression and FIGO stage. The C-index for OS prediction was 0.65 (95%CI, 0.61–0.69) in training cohort (TCGA dataset) and 0.65 (95%CI, 0.59–0.71) in validation cohort (GSE9891 dataset), respectively. The calibration plots showed optimal agreement between the prediction by SIRT3-related nomogram and actual observation for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS probability. Conclusion In conclusion, SIRT3 was an independent favorable prognostic factor for OS in serous ovarian cancer, and added prognostic value to the traditional clinicopathological factors used to evaluate patients’ prognosis.

Abstract
Proper mitochondrial function is crucial for intact cellular homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction is clearly involved in the pathogenesis of most neurodegenerative- and age-related chronic disorders. The aim of this study is to stimulate cellular production of important compounds of mitochondrial biogenesis, namely in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC)- and Sirtuin (SIRT)-systems. We studied the effect of cold challenge and training on the mRNA expression levels of some compounds of these systems in different brain areas of mice. With regard to the PGC-system, the mRNA levels of the full- and N-truncated isoforms, and those of the two promoters (brain-specific, reference) were measured. In case of Sirtuins, the mRNA levels of SIRT1 and SIRT3-M1/M2/M3 were assessed. We found the following expression level alterations: cooling resulted in the elevation of cortical SIRT3-M1 levels and the decrease of cerebellar SIRT3-M3 levels after 200 min. 900 min of cold exposure resulted in the reduction of cortical SIRT1 and striatal SIRT3-M1 levels. A prominent elevation could be observed in the levels of all PGC-1α isoforms in the cerebellum after 12 days of training. The 12 days of exercise resulted in increased cerebellar SIRT3-M1 and SIRT3-M2 mRNA levels as well. Although the efficacy of cooling core body and brain temperature is questionable, we found that training exerted a clear effect. The cause of the prominent cerebellar elevation of PGC-, and Sirtuin isoforms could be an increase in synaptic plasticity between Purkinje cells, which facilitates better motor coordination and more precise movement integration. We propose that these systems may serve as promising targets for future therapeutic studies in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effects of synthetic and plant-derived mTOR regulators on healthy human ovarian cells. We compared the effect of two synthetic mammalian mTOR blockers MC2141 and MC2183 with that of natural/plant-derived mTOR blocker rapamycin and mTOR activator resveratrol on cultured human ovarian granulosa cells. We evaluated the accumulation of markers for the mTOR system (sirtuin 1; SIRT 1), proliferation (PCNA), and apoptosis (caspase 3) along with the expression of the transcription factor p53 by quantitative immunocytochemistry. It was observed that MC2183 but not MC2141 or rapamycin reduced SIRT 1 accumulation. MC2141, MC2183, and rapamycin inhibited the accumulation of PCNA, caspase 3, and p53. On the contrary, resveratrol promoted the accumulation of SIRT-1, PCNA, caspase 3, and p53. We have demonstrated the involvement of the mTOR system in the regulation of healthy human ovarian cell proliferation and apoptosis for the first time and indicated that the action of mTOR regulators on ovarian cell apoptosis can be mediated by p53. We have further shown that mTOR regulators can affect ovarian functions without any changes in SIRT-1 accumulation and that the stimulatory effects of resveratrol on analyzed ovarian cell functions are opposite to the inhibitory effects of rapamycin and synthetic mTOR blockers.

Abstract
Human beings are facing emerging degenerative and cancer diseases, in large part, as a consequence of increased life expectancy. In the near future, researchers will have to put even more effort into fighting these new challenges, one of which will be prevention of cancer while continuing to improve the aging process through this increased life expectancy. In the last few decades, relevance of the Hippo pathway on cancer has become an important study since it is a major regulator of organ size control and proliferation. However, its deregulation can induce tumors throughout the body by regulating cell proliferation, disrupting cell polarity, releasing YAP and TAZ from the Scribble complexes and facilitating survival gene expression via activation of TEAD transcription factors. This pathway is also involved in some of the most important mechanisms that control the aging processes, such as the AMP-activated protein kinase and sirtuin pathways, along with autophagy and oxidative stress response/antioxidant defense. This could be the link between two tightly connected processes that could open a broader range of targeted molecular therapies to fight aging and cancer. Therefore, available knowledge of the processes involved in the Hippo pathway during aging and cancer must necessarily be well understood.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential redox cofactor and signaling molecule that controls the activity of enzymes involved in metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular survival, such as the PARPs, CD38, and the sirtuins. Here, we describe three methods for measuring the activity of these enzymes: the etheno-NAD+ assay measures NAD+ hydrolase activity using an NAD+ analog to produce a fluorescent product that is measured in real time; the PNC1 assay converts a native product of NAD+ hydrolysis, nicotinamide, into a quantitative fluorescent readout; and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is used to characterize the entire NAD+ metabolome in a sample. These methods will enable new insights into the roles that NAD+ and the enzymes that utilize it play in health and disease.

Abstract
Cell senescence, a state of cell cycle arrest and altered metabolism with enhanced pro-inflammatory secretion, underlies at least some aspects of organismal ageing. The sirtuin family of deacetylases has been implicated in preventing premature ageing; sirtuin overexpression or resveratrol-mediated activation of sirtuins increase longevity. Here we show that sirtuin inhibition by short-term, low-dose treatment with the experimental anti-cancer agent Tenovin-6 (TnV6) induces cellular senescence in primary human fibroblasts. Treated cells cease proliferation and arrest in G1 of the cell cycle, with elevated p21 levels, DNA damage foci, high mitochondrial and lysosomal load and increased senescence-associated β galactosidase activity, together with actin stress fibres and secretion of IL-6 (indicative of SASP upregulation). Consistent with a histone deacetylation role of SIRT1, we find nuclear enlargement, possibly resulting from chromatin decompaction on sirtuin inhibition. These findings highlight TnV6 as a drug that may be useful in clinical settings where acute induction of cell senescence would be beneficial, but also provide the caveat that even supposedly non-genotoxic anticancer drugs can have unexpected and efficacy-limiting impacts on non-transformed cells.

Abstract
Polyphenols synthesized by plants and fungi have various pharmacological effects. The ability of polyphenols to modulate sirtuins has gained considerable interest due to the role of sirtuins in aging, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and cancer. In particular, sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) has gained importance in regulating a variety of cellular processes, including genomic stability and glucose metabolism. On the other hand, quercetin has been demonstrated to modulate sirtuins and to protect against several chronic diseases. In this study, two quercetin derivatives, diquercetin and 2-chloro-1,4-naphtoquinone-quercetin, were identified as promising SIRT6 inhibitors with IC50 values of 130 μM and 55 μM, respectively. 2-Chloro-1,4-naphtoquinone-quercetin also showed potent inhibition against SIRT2, with an IC50 value of 14 μM. Diquercetin increased the Km value of NAD+, whereas 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone-quercetin increased the Km value of the acetylated substrate. Molecular docking studies suggest that diquercetin prefers the binding site of the nicotinamide (NAM) moiety, whereas 2-chloro-1,4-naphtoquinone-quercetin prefers to dock into the substrate binding site. Overall, the results of in vitro studies and molecular modeling indicate that diquercetin competes with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), whereas 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone-quercetin competes with the acetylated substrate in the catalytic site of SIRT6. Natural polyphenolic compounds targeting sirtuins show promise as a new approach in the search for novel and effective treatments for age-related diseases.

Abstract
SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylase that promotes healthy aging and longevity in diverse organisms. Small molecule allosteric activators of SIRT1 such as resveratrol and SRT2104 directly bind to the N-terminus of SIRT1 and lower the Km for the protein substrate. In rodents, sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs) protect from age-related diseases and extend life span. In human clinical trials, STACs have a high safety profile and anti-inflammatory activities. Here, we describe methods for identifying and characterizing STACs, including production of recombinant protein, in vitro assays with recombinant protein, and cellular assays based on mitochondrial dynamics. The methods described in this chapter will facilitate this discovery of improved STACs, natural and synthetic, in the pursuit of interventions to treat age-related diseases.

Abstract
FOXO3 is a tumor suppressor that orchestrates the expression of genes that regulate cell cycle progression, apoptosis, metabolism, oxidative stress, and other important cellular processes. Its inactivation is closely associated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression. On the other hand, sirtuin proteins have been demonstrated to be able to deacetylate, thus causing FOXO3 inactivation at the posttranslational level. Therefore, targeting sirtuin proteins renders new avenues for breast cancer treatment. Here, we describe three procedures for studying FOXO3 posttranslational modifications controlled by sirtuin proteins in cancer cells.

Abstract
In the body, different types of adipose tissue perform different functions, with brown and beige adipose tissues playing unique roles in dissipating energy. Throughout life, adipocytes are regenerated from progenitors, and this process is impaired by aging. One of the progenitors of adipocytes are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have recently become a promising tool for stem cell therapy. However, whether or not aging impairs the brown/beige adipocyte differentiation of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs) remains unclear. In the present study, we isolated AT-MSCs from two different age groups of donors (infants and elderly subjects) and examined the effects of aging on the AT-MSC brown/beige adipocyte differentiation ability. We found that none of the AT-MSCs expressed Myf5, which indicated the beige (not brown) differentiation ability of cells. Of note, an inverse correlation was noted between the beige adipocyte differentiation ability and age, with AT-MSCs derived from elderly donors showed the most severely reduced function due to induced cellular senescence. The impaired expression of Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and Sirt3 proved to be responsible for the induction of senescence in elderly AT-MSCs; however, only Sirt1 was directly involved in the regulation of beige adipocyte differentiation. The overexpression of Sirt1 impaired the p53/p21 pathway, thereby preventing elderly AT-MSCs from entering senescence and restoring the beige differentiation ability. Thus, our study represents the important role of Sirt1 and senescence in the regulation of beige adipocyte differentiation during aging.

Abstract
A class of NAD-dependent protein deacetylases, the Sirtuin (SIRT) family of proteins is involved in aging, cell survival, and neurodegeneration. Recently, SIRT proteins, including SIRT6, have been reported to be important in learning and memory. However, the role of SIRT6 in excitatory brain neurons in cognitive behaviors is not well characterized. We investigated how cognitive behaviors are affected by genetic SIRT6 depletion in excitatory neurons in the mouse forebrain. We generated a conditional knockout (cKO) mouse line by mating two transgenic lines, Floxed SIRT6 and CaMKIIa-Cre. SIRT6 was thus deleted by Cre recombinase in CaMKIIa-expressing excitatory neurons. We performed cognitive behavioral tests, focusing on learning and memory, including contextual fear conditioning and Morris-water maze. The freezing level of SIRT6 cKO before the fear conditioning was comparable to that of wild-type littermate controls, while the freezing level after the conditioning was higher in SIRT6 cKO mice. In contrast, the mice showed normal spatial learning and memory in the Morris-water maze. In addition, anxiety and locomotion were also normal in SIRT6 cKO mice. SIRT6 genetic depletion enhanced contextual fear memory without affecting spatial memory. Since a previous report showed that overexpression of SIRT6 reduced contextual fear memory, our results suggest that the expression level of SIRT6 bi-directionally regulates contextual fear memory in mice.

Abstract
AIMS Metabolic dysfunction is involved in modulating the disease process in Huntington disease (HD) but the underlying mechanisms are not known. The aim of this study was to investigate if the metabolic regulators sirtuins are affected in HD. METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions were used to assess levels of SIRT1-3 and downstream targets in post mortem brain tissue from HD patients and control cases as well as after selective hypothalamic expression of mutant huntingtin (HTT) using recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors in mice. RESULTS We show that mRNA levels of the metabolic regulator SIRT1 are increased in the striatum and the cerebral cortex but not in the less affected cerebellum in post mortem HD brains. Levels of SIRT2 are only increased in the striatum and SIRT3 is not affected in HD. Interestingly, mRNA levels of SIRT1 are selectively increased in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) in HD. Further analyses of the LHA and VMH confirmed pathological changes in these regions including effects on SIRT1 downstream targets and reduced mRNA levels of orexin (hypocretin), prodynorphin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in the LHA and of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the VMH. Analyses after selective hypothalamic expression of mutant HTT suggest that effects on BDNF, orexin, dynorphin and MCH are early and direct, whereas changes in SIRT1 require more widespread expression of mutant HTT. CONCLUSIONS We show that SIRT1 expression is increased in HD-affected brain regions and that metabolic pathways are altered in the HD hypothalamus.

Abstract
Sirtuins are recently redefined as a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacylases. Sirtuins in mammals including human have seven members, which are SIRT1-7. Compared to other sirtuin members, not much study is focused on mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3-5). In mitochondrial sirtuins, SIRT4 was the last of less well-understood mitochondrial sirtuins especially for its robust enzymatic activity. This makes SIRT4 become the last puzzle of mitochondrial sirtuins, and thus brings some obstacles for studying SIRT4 biological functions or developing SIRT4 modulators. In this review, we will summarize and discuss the current findings for substrates, biological functions and possible enzymatic activities of SIRT4. The purpose of this review is to facilitate in discovering the robust enzymatic activity of SIRT4 and eventually finish this last puzzle of mitochondrial sirtuins.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of NAD+-dependent deacetylases (class III histone deacetylases). Seven mammalian sirtuins, SIRT1-7, are identified, as the functions and locations differ greatly. SIRT1 and SIRT2 locate in nucleus and cytoplasm, while SIRT3-5 in mitochondria. Sirtuins are not only involved in many important biological processes such as apoptosis, cellular senescence, endocrine signaling, glucose homeostasis, aging, and longevity, it can also control circadian clocks and mitochondrial biogenesis. Small molecules that can modulate the sirtuins activity have been shown to have potentials for treating many human diseases such as type II diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular and other age-relating diseases. Some polyphenolic natural products such as Resveratrol, Fisetin, and Quercetin have demonstrated health benefits due to their SIRT1 activation effects. Some structurally diverse synthetic compounds, such as SRT1720, SRT1460, Selisistat (EX 527), and AGK2 were used as small molecular SIRT modulators (IC50 = 0.04-100 μM) to treat ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, aging, and obesity. In order to get better understanding of how the small molecules interact with the sirtuin, the small molecules that having SIRT inhibitory or activation effect, found by HTS or other modern medicinal chemistry techniques, are reviewed in this article.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of evolutionary conserved enzymes that dynamically regulate cellular physiology. Mammals have 7 sirtuins, which are located in different cellular compartments. Sirt5, a sirtuin isoform located in multiple subcellular sites, is involved in regulating a diverse range of cellular and metabolic processes through the removal of a range of acyl-lysine modifications on target proteins. Loss of Sirt5 leads to hyper-malonylation and hyper-succinylation of both mitochondrial and extra-mitochondrial proteins, influencing oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle and glycolysis. However despite these findings, the effect of Sirt5 overexpression on metabolism remains poorly investigated. Here we report that overexpression of Sirt5 has minimal effect on mitochondrial metabolism and overall physiology in mice, despite inducing widespread decreases in protein acylation. Our data confirms the role of Sirt5 as an important demalonylase and desuccinylase enzyme in vivo, but questions the relevance of physiological changes in protein acylation levels in the regulation of cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an essential part in guaranteeing normal cellular physiological functions through providing ATP and participating in diverse processes and signaling pathways. Recently, more and more studies have revealed the vital roles of mitochondria in coping with stressors in the aging process, metabolic disturbances and neurological disorders. Mitochondrial stress responses, including the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), antioxidant defense, mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial fusion and mitophagy, are induced to maintain cellular integrity in response to stress. The sirtuin family, a group of NAD+-dependent deacetylases, has been the focus of much attention in recent years for their multiple regulatory functions, especially in aging and metabolism. Recent reports validated the significant link between mitochondrial stress responses and the sirtuin family, which may help to elucidate the pathogenesis and therapies for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. This review will summarize recent related studies and illuminate the interplay between sirtuins and mitochondrial stress.

Abstract
In addition to traditional drugs, such as enzyme inhibitors, receptor agonists/antagonists, and protein-protein interaction inhibitors as well as genetic technology, such as RNA interference and the CRISPR/Cas9 system, protein knockdown approaches using proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have attracted much attention. PROTACs, which induce selective degradation of their target protein via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, are useful for the down-regulation of various proteins, including disease-related proteins and epigenetic proteins. Recent reports have shown that chemical protein knockdown is possible not only in cells, but also in vivo and this approach is expected to be used as the therapeutic strategy for several diseases. Thus, this approach may be a significant technique to complement traditional drugs and genetic ablation and will be more widely used for drug discovery and chemical biology studies in the future. In this personal account, a history of chemical protein knockdown is introduced, and its features, recent progress in the epigenetics field, and future outlooks are discussed.

Abstract
Alcohol addiction is a serious condition perpetuated by enduring physiological and behavioral adaptations. An important component of these adaptations is the long-term rearrangement of neuronal gene expression in the brain of the addicted individual. Epigenetic histone modifications have recently surfaced as important modulators of the transcriptional adaptation to alcohol as these are thought to represent a form of transcriptional memory that is directly imprinted on the chromosome. Some histone modifications affect transcription by modulating the accessibility of the underlying DNA, whereas others have been proposed to serve as marks read by transcription factors as a "histone code" that helps to specify the expression level of a gene. Although the effects of some epigenetic modifications on the transcriptional activity of genes are well known, the mechanisms by which alcohol consumption produces this rearrangement and leads to lasting changes in behavior remain unresolved. Recent advances using the Drosophila model system have started to unravel the epigenetic modulators underlying functional alcohol neuroadaptations. In this review, we discuss the role of 3 different histone modification systems in Drosophila, which have a direct impact on key alcohol neuroadaptations associated with the addictive process. These systems involve the histone deacetylase Sirt1, the histone acetyltransferase CREB-binding protein (CBP), and a subset of the Drosophila JmjC-Domain histone demethylase family.

Abstract
Metabolic activity and epigenetic regulation of gene expression are intimately coupled. The mechanisms linking the two are incompletely understood. Sirtuins catalyse the removal of acetyl groups from lysine side chains of proteins using NAD+ as a stoichiometric cofactor, thereby connecting the acetylation state of histones to energy supply of the cell. Here, we investigate the impact of lysine acetylation turnover by sirtuins on cell physiology by engineering Sirtase, an enzyme that self-acetylates and deacetylates in futile cycles. Expression of Sirtase in E. coli leads to the consumption of the majority of the cellular NAD+ supply, indicating that there is little negative feedback from reaction products, O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and nicotinamde, on sirtuin activity. Targeting Sirtase to a partially defective E silencer of the budding yeast mating type locus restores silencing, indicating that lysine acetylation turnover stabilizes heterochromatin in yeast. We speculate that this could be the consequence of local acetyl-CoA depletion because the effect is equally pronounced if the sirtuin moiety of Sirtase is exchanged with Hos3, a NAD+-independent deacetylase. Our findings support the concept that metabolism and epigenetic regulation are linked via modulation of heterochromatin stability by lysine acetylation turnover.

Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) has neuroprotective effects in regulating oxidative stress and energy metabolism, both of which are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is unclear whether Sirt3 is associated with cognitive performance and pathological changes in AD. We conducted a case-control study of the postmortem brains of AD (n = 16), mild cognitive impairment (n = 13), and age- and education-matched cognitively normal (CN, n = 11) subjects. We measured the mRNA and protein levels of Sirt3 and assessed their association with cognitive performance and AD pathology. In an ex vivo model of cortical neurons from transgenic mice that carry human tau protein, we modified Sirt3 expression by genetic knockdown and knock-in to investigate the cause-effect relationship between Sirt3 and tau. Sirt3 levels were reduced in the entorhinal cortex, the middle temporal gyrus, and the superior frontal gyrus of AD subjects compared to those of CN. This reduction was associated with poorer test scores of neuropsychological evaluation and the severity of tau pathology. Further study with genetic manipulation of Sirt3 revealed that amyloid-β increased levels of total tau acetylated tau through its modulation of Sirt3. These data suggest that reduction of Sirt3 is critically involved in pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Premature activation of aging-associated molecular mechanisms is emerging as an important contributor to many diseases, including scleroderma. Among central regulators of the aging process are a group of histone deacetylases called sirtuins (SIRTs). Recent findings implicate these molecules as pathophysiological players in scleroderma skin and lung fibrosis. The goal of this article is to review recent studies on the involvement of SIRTs in scleroderma from the perspective of aging-related molecular mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS Despite a degree of controversy in this rapidly developing field, the majority of data suggest that SIRT levels are decreased in tissues from patients with scleroderma compared to healthy controls as well as in animal models of scleroderma. Molecular studies reveal several mechanisms through which declining SIRT levels contribute to fibrosis, with the most attention given to modulation of the TGF-β signaling pathway. Activation of SIRTs in cell culture and in animal models elicits antifibrotic effects. Declining SIRT levels and activity are emerging as pathophysiological contributors to scleroderma. Restoration of SIRTs may be therapeutic in patients with scleroderma.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) 1 and 2 deacetylases are overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and are associated with tumoral progression and multidrug resistance (MDR). In this study we analyzed whether SIRTs 1 and 2 activities blockage was able to affect cellular survival and migration and to modulate p53 and FoxO1 acetylation in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Moreover, we analyzed ABC transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3) expression. We used cambinol and EX-527 as SIRTs inhibitors. Both drugs reduced cellular viability, number of colonies and cellular migration and augmented apoptosis. In 3D cultures, SIRTs inhibitors diminished spheroid growth and viability. 3D culture was less sensitive to drugs than 2D culture. The levels of acetylated p53 and FoxO1 increased after treatments. Drugs induced a decrease in ABC transporters mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells; however, only EX-527 was able to reduce MRP3 mRNA and protein levels in Huh7 cells. This is the first work demonstrating the regulation of MRP3 by SIRTs. In conclusion, both drugs decreased HCC cells survival and migration, suggesting SIRTs 1 and 2 activities blockage could be beneficial during HCC therapy. Downregulation of the expression of P-gp and MRP3 supports the potential application of SIRTs 1 and 2 inhibitions in combination with conventional chemotherapy.

Abstract
Sirtuin4 (Sirt4) is one of the mammalian homologues of Silent information regulator 2 (Sir2), which promotes the longevity of yeast, C. elegans, fruit flies and mice. Sirt4 is localized in the mitochondria, where it contributes to preventing the development of cancers and ischemic heart disease through regulating energy metabolism. The ADP-ribosylation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), which is catalyzed by Sirt4, downregulates the TCA cycle. However, this reaction mechanism is obscure, because the structure of Sirt4 is unknown. We here constructed structural models of Sirt4 by homology modeling and threading, and docked nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide+ (NAD+) to Sirt4. In addition, a partial GDH structure was docked to the Sirt4-NAD+ complex model. In the ternary complex model of Sirt4-NAD+-GDH, the acetylated lysine 171 of GDH is located close to NAD+. This suggests a possible mechanism underlying the ADP-ribosylation at cysteine 172, which may occur through a transient intermediate with ADP-ribosylation at the acetylated lysine 171. These results may be useful in designing drugs for the treatment of cancers and ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma cell differentiation is a valuable model for studying therapeutic methods in neuroblastoma and the mechanisms of neuronal differentiation. Here, we used trichostatin A (TSA) and sirtinol, which are inhibitors of cHDACs and sirtuins, respectively, to show that classical histone deacetylases (cHDACs) and sirtuins (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog; SIRTs) affect all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced differentiation of neuroblastoma cells. After first determining neurite elongation and expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase and high size neurofilament as useful differentiation markers, we observed that TSA increased neuroblastoma cell differentiation, while sirtinol had the antagonistic effect of decreasing it. The changes were also associated with the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of cHDACs and sirtuins. ATRA significantly decreased the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio of SIRT1 and SIRT2.1, while sirtinol inhibited that of SIRT1, and TSA increased that of SIRT1 and SIRT2.1 during early differentiation. Moreover, the effect of the sirtinol-related signal was located upstream for cHDACs and sirtuins total expression, and downstream for their subcellular localization compared with that for the TSA-related signal. These results provide a mechanistic understanding of differentiation in neuroblastoma cells and indicate that cHDACs and sirtuins are critical therapeutic targets for neuroblastoma.

Abstract
Sirtuin has been associated in prolonging lifespan of different model organisms. It has been shown to have an enzymatic activity of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylation targeting acetylated proteins. To determine targets and possible roles of sirtuin (LpSirA) in the Lactobacillus paracasei BL23, deletion (ΔsirA), sirtuin overexpressor (highsirA) and GFP fusion (highsirA-Venus) strains were generated, and microscopic localization and cell length analysis were done. Microscopic analysis revealed localization of LpSirA at cell division plates, at cell poles and all throughout the cell length in a spiral manner. Cell length analysis revealed that 46.9% of the ΔsirA cells were observed to be shorter (<2 μm), whereas 12.6% of the highsirA cells were observed to be longer (>4 μm) in comparison with the wild-type with only 17.1% short cells and 5.3% long cells. Our results suggest that sirtuin may have an essential role in cell division and cell shape regulation.

Abstract
Since the identification and cloning of human histone deacetylases (HDACs) and the rapid approval of vorinostat (Zolinza®) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, the field of HDAC biology has met many initial successes. However, many challenges remain due to the complexity involved in the lysine posttranslational modifications, epigenetic transcription regulation, and nonepigenetic cellular signaling cascades. In this chapter, we will: review the discovery of the first HDAC inhibitor and present discussion regarding the future of next-generation HDAC inhibitors, give an overview of different classes of HDACs and their differences in lysine deacylation activity, discuss different classes of HDAC inhibitors and their HDAC isozyme preferences, and review HDAC inhibitors' preclinical studies, their clinical trials, their pharmacokinetic challenges, and future direction. We will also discuss the likely reason for the failure of multiple HDAC inhibitor clinical trials in malignancies other than lymphoma and multiple myeloma. In addition, the potential molecular mechanism(s) that may play a key role in the efficacy and therapeutic response rate in the clinic and the likely patient population for HDAC therapy will be discussed.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD(+)-dependent enzymes that catalyze deacylation of protein lysine residues. In mammals, seven sirtuins have been identified, SIRT1-7. SIRT3-5 are mainly or exclusively localized within mitochondria and mainly participate in the regulation of energy metabolic pathways. Since mitochondrial ATP regeneration is inevitably linked to the maintenance of cardiac pump function, it is not surprising that recent studies revealed a role for mitochondrial sirtuins in the regulation of myocardial energetics and function. In addition, mitochondrial sirtuins modulate the extent of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and the development of cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Thus, targeting mitochondrial sirtuins has been proposed as a novel approach to improve myocardial mitochondrial energetics, which is frequently impaired in cardiac disease and considered an important underlying cause contributing to several cardiac pathologies, including myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and heart failure. In the current review, we present and discuss the available literature on mitochondrial sirtuins and their potential roles in cardiac physiology and disease.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are NAD+-dependent deacetylase/deacylases that regulate a wide variety of biological functions. Although the roles of sirtuins in cartilage homeostasis and cartilage diseases have been well studied, there is no information on the contribution of SIRT7 to cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) pathologies. Here, we demonstrate that Sirt7 knockout mice are resistant to the development of aging-associated OA and forced exercise-induced OA. Attenuation of Sirt7 in the murine chondrogenic cell line ATDC5 increased the deposition of a glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix and the mRNA expression of extracellular matrix components such as Col2a1 and Acan. Mechanistically, we found that SIRT7 suppressed the transcriptional activity of SOX9, which is an important transcription factor in chondrocytes, and that the enzymatic activity of SIRT7 was required for its function. Our results indicate that SIRT7 is a novel important regulator of cartilage homeostasis and OA development.

Abstract
Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, collectively referred to as niacin, are nutritional precursors of the bioactive molecules nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD and NADP are important cofactors for most cellular redox reactions, and as such are essential to maintain cellular metabolism and respiration. NAD also serves as a cosubstrate for a large number of ADP-ribosylation enzymes with varied functions. Among the NAD-consuming enzymes identified to date are important genetic and epigenetic regulators, e.g., poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases and sirtuins. There is rapidly growing knowledge of the close connection between dietary niacin intake, NAD(P) availability, and the activity of NAD(P)-dependent epigenetic regulator enzymes. It points to an exciting role of dietary niacin intake as a central regulator of physiological processes, e.g., maintenance of genetic stability, and of epigenetic control mechanisms modulating metabolism and aging. Insight into the role of niacin and various NAD-related diseases ranging from cancer, aging, and metabolic diseases to cardiovascular problems has shifted our view of niacin as a vitamin to current views that explore its potential as a therapeutic.

Abstract
Several inherited metabolic disorders are associated with an accumulation of reactive acyl-CoA metabolites that can non-enzymatically react with lysine residues to modify proteins. While the role of acetylation is well-studied, the pathophysiological relevance of more recently discovered acyl modifications, including those found in inherited metabolic disorders, warrants further investigation. We recently showed that sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) removes glutaryl, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl, 3-methylglutaryl, and 3-methylglutaconyl modifications from lysine residues. Thus, we used SIRT4 knockout mice, which can accumulate these novel post-translational modifications, as a model to investigate their physiological relevance. Since SIRT4 is localized to mitochondria and previous reports have shown SIRT4 influences metabolism, we thoroughly characterized glucose and lipid metabolism in male and female SIRT4KO mice across different genetic backgrounds. While only minor perturbations in overall lipid metabolism were observed, we found SIRT4KO mice consistently had elevated glucose- and leucine-stimulated insulin levels in vivo and developed accelerated age-induced insulin resistance. Importantly, elevated leucine-stimulated insulin levels in SIRT4KO mice were dependent upon genetic background since SIRT4KO mice on a C57BL/6NJ genetic background had elevated leucine-stimulated insulin levels but not SIRT4KO mice on the C57BL/6J background. Taken together, the data suggest that accumulation of acyl modifications on proteins in inherited metabolic disorders may contribute to the overall metabolic dysfunction seen in these patients.

Abstract
SIRT6 is an epigenetic modification enzyme that regulates gene transcription through its deacetylase activity. In addition to histone protein, SIRT6 also modify other proteins and enzymes, some of which are central players in metabolic reprogramming and aging process. Therefore, SIRT6 has emerged as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic disorder and age-related diseases. Here, we report that SIRT6 deacetylates lysine 382 of p53 in short synthetic peptide sequence and in full length p53. Further studies showed that the deacetylation of H3K9Ac and p53K382Ac are insensitive to nicotinamide inhibition, but are sensitive to trichostatin A (TSA) inhibition. Detailed kinetic analysis revealed that TSA competes with the peptide substrate for inhibition, and this inhibition is unique to SIRT6 in the sirtuin family. Taken together, this study not only suggests potential roles of SIRT6 in regulating apoptosis and stress resistance via direct deacetylation of p53, but also provides lead compound for the development of potent and selective SIRT6 inhibitors.

Abstract
Low-dose fluoride is an effective caries prophylactic, but high-dose fluoride is an environmental health hazard that causes skeletal and dental fluorosis. Treatments to prevent fluorosis and the molecular pathways responsive to fluoride exposure remain to be elucidated. Previously we showed that fluoride activates SIRT1 as an adaptive response to protect cells. Here, we demonstrate that fluoride induced p53 acetylation (Ac-p53) [Lys379], which is a SIRT1 deacetylation target, in ameloblast-derived LS8 cells in vitro and in enamel organ in vivo. Here we assessed SIRT1 function on fluoride-induced Ac-p53 formation using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Sirt1 knockout (LS8Sirt/KO) cells or CRISPR/dCas9/SAM-mediated Sirt1 overexpressing (LS8Sirt1/over) cells. NaF (5 mM) induced Ac-p53 formation and increased cell cycle arrest via Cdkn1a/p21 expression in Wild-type (WT) cells. However, fluoride-induced Ac-p53 was suppressed by the SIRT1 activator resveratrol (50 µM). Without fluoride, Ac-p53 persisted in LS8Sirt/KO cells, whereas it decreased in LS8Sirt1/over. Fluoride-induced Ac-p53 formation was also suppressed in LS8Sirt1/over cells. Compared to WT cells, fluoride-induced Cdkn1a/p21 expression was elevated in LS8Sirt/KO and these cells were more susceptible to fluoride-induced growth inhibition. In contrast, LS8Sirt1/over cells were significantly more resistant. In addition, fluoride-induced cytochrome-c release and caspase-3 activation were suppressed in LS8Sirt1/over cells. Fluoride induced expression of the DNA double strand break marker γH2AX in WT cells and this was augmented in LS8Sirt1/KO cells, but was attenuated in LS8Sirt1/over cells. Our results suggest that SIRT1 deacetylates Ac-p53 to mitigate fluoride-induced cell growth inhibition, mitochondrial damage, DNA damage and apoptosis. This is the first report implicating Ac-p53 in fluoride toxicity.

Abstract
Background Excitotoxicity is a mechanism of foremost importance in the selective motor neuron degeneration characteristic of motor neuron disorders. Effective therapeutic strategies are an unmet need for these disorders. Polyphenols, such as quercetin and resveratrol, are plant-derived compounds that activate sirtuins (SIRTs) and have shown promising results in some models of neuronal death, although their effects have been scarcely tested in models of motor neuron degeneration. Methods In this work we investigated the effects of quercetin and resveratrol in an in vivo model of excitotoxic motor neuron death induced by the chronic infusion of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) into the rat spinal cord tissue. Quercetin and resveratrol were co-infused with AMPA and motor behavior and muscle strength were assessed daily for up to ten days. Then, animals were fixed and lumbar spinal cord tissue was analyzed by histological and immunocytological procedures. Results We found that the chronic infusion of AMPA [1 mM] caused a progressive motor neuron degeneration, accompanied by astrogliosis and microgliosis, and motor deficits and paralysis of the rear limbs. Quercetin infusion ameliorated AMPA-induced paralysis, rescued motor neurons, and prevented both astrogliosis and microgliosis, and these protective effects were prevented by EX527, a very selective SIRT1 inhibitor. In contrast, neither resveratrol nor EX527 alone improved motor behavior deficits or reduced motor neuron degeneration, albeit both reduced gliosis. Conclusions These results suggest that quercetin exerts its beneficial effects through a SIRT1-mediated mechanism, and thus SIRT1 plays an important role in excitotoxic neurodegeneration and therefore its pharmacological modulation might provide opportunities for therapy in motor neuron disorders.

Abstract
The enhancer landscape is dramatically restructured as naive preimplantation epiblasts transition to the post-implantation state of primed pluripotency. A key factor in this process is Otx2, which is upregulated during the early stages of this transition and ultimately recruits Oct4 to a different set of enhancers. In this study, we discover that the acetylation status of Oct4 regulates the induction of the primed pluripotency gene network. Maintenance of the naive state requires the NAD-dependent deacetylase, SirT1, which deacetylates Oct4. The activity of SirT1 is reduced during the naive-to-primed transition; Oct4 becomes hyper-acetylated and binds to an Otx2 enhancer to induce Otx2 expression. Induction of Otx2 causes the reorganization of acetylated Oct4 and results in the induction of the primed pluripotency gene network. Regulation of Oct4 by SirT1 may link stem cell development to environmental conditions, and it may provide strategies to manipulate epiblast cell state.

Abstract
In mammals, profound changes in the population and functions of adult stem cells occur with age and these changes are thought to underlie functional decline and pathophysiology at the tissue and organismal levels associated with aging. SIRT1, a member of the conserved sirtuin family, functions as an anti-aging regulator for adult stem cells. Mediated through its regulatory roles in AMPK and mTORC1 pathways as well as gene expression, SIRT1 modulate the activities of genes maintaining stem cell functions and delays cellular senescence. Further investigation of the cross-talk between SIRT1 and other longevity target genes under different physiological conditions of stem cells may help us better design intervention strategies to antagonize stem cells aging.

Abstract
Aging constitutes the central risk factor for major diseases including many forms of cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. The aging process is characterized by both global and tissue-specific changes in gene expression across taxonomically diverse species. While aging has historically been thought to entail cell-autonomous, even stochastic changes, recent evidence suggests that modulation of this process can be hierarchal, wherein manipulations of nutrient-sensing neurons (e.g., in the hypothalamus) produce peripheral effects that may modulate the aging process itself. The most robust intervention extending lifespan, plausibly impinging on the aging process, involves different modalities of dietary restriction (DR). Lifespan extension by DR is associated with broad protection against diseases (natural and engineered). Here we review potential epigenetic processes that may link lifespan to age-related diseases, particularly in the context of DR and (other) ketogenic diets, focusing on brain and hypothalamic mechanisms.

SIRT1-dependent modulation of methylation and acetylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 (H3K9) in the zygotic pronuclei improves porcine embryo development. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2017; 8:83.

Abstract
Background The histone code is an established epigenetic regulator of early embryonic development in mammals. The lysine residue K9 of histone H3 (H3K9) is a prime target of SIRT1, a member of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase family of enzymes targeting both histone and non-histone substrates. At present, little is known about SIRT1-modulation of H3K9 in zygotic pronuclei and its association with the success of preimplantation embryo development. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of SIRT1 activity on H3K9 methylation and acetylation in porcine zygotes and the significance of H3K9 modifications for early embryonic development. Results Our results show that SIRT1 activators resveratrol and BML-278 increased H3K9 methylation and suppressed H3K9 acetylation in both the paternal and maternal pronucleus. Inversely, SIRT1 inhibitors nicotinamide and sirtinol suppressed methylation and increased acetylation of pronuclear H3K9. Evaluation of early embryonic development confirmed positive effect of selective SIRT1 activation on blastocyst formation rate (5.2 ± 2.9% versus 32.9 ± 8.1% in vehicle control and BML-278 group, respectively; P ≤ 0.05). Stimulation of SIRT1 activity coincided with fluorometric signal intensity of ooplasmic ubiquitin ligase MDM2, a known substrate of SIRT1 and known limiting factor of epigenome remodeling. Conclusions We conclude that SIRT1 modulates zygotic histone code, obviously through direct deacetylation and via non-histone targets resulting in increased H3K9me3. These changes in zygotes lead to more successful pre-implantation embryonic development and, indeed, the specific SIRT1 activation due to BML-278 is beneficial for in vitro embryo production and blastocyst achievement.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed many advances in the understanding of sirtuin biology and related regulatory circuits supporting the capacity of these proteins to serve as energy-sensing molecules that contribute to healthspan in various tissues, including articular cartilage. Hence, there has been a significant increase in new investigations that aim to elucidate the mechanisms of sirtuin function and their roles in cartilage biology, skeletal development, and pathologies such as osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVD). The majority of the work carried out to date has focused on SIRT1, although SIRT6 has more recently become a focus of some investigations. In vivo work with transgenic mice has shown that Sirt1 and Sirt6 are essential for maintaining cartilage homeostasis and that the use of sirtuin-activating molecules such as resveratrol may have beneficial effects on cartilage anabolism. Current thinking is that SIRT1 exerts positive effects on cartilage by encouraging chondrocyte survival, especially under stress conditions, which may provide a mechanism supporting the use of sirtuin small-molecule activators (STACS) for future therapeutic interventions in OA and other degenerative pathologies of joints, especially those that involve articular cartilage.
