Association between sirtuin 1 and markers of oxidative stress in master athletes.

BACKGROUND: Lifelong training in master athletes confers protective effects, promoting higher sirtuin levels and enhanced antioxidant capacity. Although Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is well studied, no previous study has examined the relationship between circulating SIRT1 levels and antioxidant defense variables in master athletes. PURPOSE: To compare and analyze the relationships between circulating levels of SIRT1 and variables related to antioxidant defense in master athletes (MA) and untrained middle-aged individuals (UMA). METHODS: Male MA (n = 42; 51.62 ± 7.33 years; ≥10 years of training and competition in running) and UMA (n = 15; 47.73 ± 8.52 years) were evaluated. Venous blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses of SIRT1, antioxidant enzymes, TBARS and F2-isoprostanes, 8-OHdG, and redox balance indexes. RESULTS: MA showed higher levels of SIRT1 (18.22 ± 4.53 vs. 6.08 ± 2.11 ng/mL; p < 0.0001), as well as of SOD, CAT, and GSH (p < 0.001), indicating a more favorable antioxidant profile. After adjustment for body fat percentage, differences in SOD, CAT, GSH and TBARS, remained significant. SIRT1 was positively correlated with SOD (r = 0.279; p = 0.031), CAT (r = 0.485; p < 0.001), GSH (r = 0.476; p < 0.001) and CAT/8-OHdG (r = 0.430; p = 0.032), and negatively correlated with TBARS (r = - 0.518; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Master athletes exhibited higher circulating SIRT1 concentrations and a more favorable systemic redox profile than untrained individuals, with SIRT1 being associated with markers of antioxidant defense, lipid peroxidation, and redox balance.

Beta-catenin/sirtuin 1/farnesoid X receptor pathway promotion of portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced rapid liver regeneration.

BACKGROUND: By accelerating the regeneration of the future liver remnant, portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection allows for more extensive hepatectomy. Given that the mechanism remains poorly understood, the aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration. METHODS: A portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration mouse model was established, followed by RNA microarray analysis to identify candidate molecules. Genomic deletion and chemical manipulation of target molecules were used to explore their functions in portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration. Validation was conducted using a diseased liver model and human samples. RESULTS: Portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration was significantly accelerated compared with that in sham-operated mice (P < .05). An RNA microarray revealed that Sirtuin 1 is a crucial molecule in the proliferation of the future liver remnant. Regardless of whether Sirtuin 1 is inhibited chemically or through genetic deletion, portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration is distinctly attenuated. Further investigation revealed that Sirtuin 1 promoted portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration via the farnesoid X receptor. In addition, beta-catenin also was found to participate in the process of future liver remnant proliferation. Chemical inhibition of beta-catenin markedly impaired but activation of WNT/beta-catenin mildly enhanced portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration (P < .05). Deletion of Sirtuin 1 blocked the facilitating effect of beta-catenin on portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration. These findings were validated in diseased liver models and patient samples, confirming the correlation between the beta-catenin/Sirtuin 1/farnesoid X receptor pathway and portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration. CONCLUSION: Activation of the beta-catenin/Sirtuin 1/farnesoid X receptor pathway offers critical mechanistic insights into accelerating portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection-induced liver regeneration. Modulation of beta-catenin/Sirtuin 1/farnesoid X receptor may therefore improve clinical outcomes in patients receiving staged hepatectomy.

Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 promotes colorectal cancer progression via interacting with SIRT1.

Nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long noncoding RNA, is found to be significantly dysregulated in different types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, there is still much to learn about the precise functions and processes of NEAT1 in the progression of CRC. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and 50 CRC specimens from the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University, we assessed the expression of NEAT1 to determine its clinical impact. Through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Cancer Single-cell State Atlas (CancerSEA), and immune infiltration studies, we elucidated key functions of NEAT1. We utilized Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), wound healing, and Transwell assays to investigate the role of NEAT1 in the progression of CRC. Through the use of GSEA and immunohistochemistry, additional investigations were conducted to unveil the downstream targets of NEAT1 and gain insights into their regulatory dynamics. Our in vitro studies confirmed the regulatory role of NEAT1 in CRC. Findings indicate that increased NEAT1 expression correlates with adverse outcomes in colorectal tissues. In the CRC model, reduced levels of NEAT1 lead to reduced cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Additionally, NEAT1 influenced immune cell infiltration in CRC and functioned as an oncogene by upregulating Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. This study demonstrates that NEAT1 promotes CRC progression and metastasis through a SIRT1-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.

SIRT1 in brain aging: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential of pharmacological and natural modulators.

Aging is a multifactorial process affects different tissues and organs and is modulated by genetic and environmental factors. In aging, the frequency of DNA repair errors and genomic instability are augmented. Depletion of endogenous antioxidant capacity during aging promotes the development of oxidative stress which triggers oxidative stress-induced DNA injury. Brain aging is manifested by cognitive impairment and memory disorders. Development of neuronal senescence is the major pathway in the progression of brain aging. Silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase plays a critical role in genomic stability during aging. SIRT1 is highly expressed in specific brain regions involved in energy expenditure and metabolic activity that is necessary for brain development and control of brain senescence. Therefore, SIRT1 may have neuroprotective effects against brain aging and related neurodegenerative diseases. This narrative review aims to critically evaluate the role of SIRT1 in brain aging and to summarize current evidence on compounds that directly or indirectly modulate SIRT1 activity, with a focus on their mechanistic pathways and potential therapeutic implications. Findings of the present review highlighted that SIRT1 activators such as resveratrol, metformin and statins have neuroprotective effects against brain aging by regulating inflammatory and oxidative stress disorders through modulation of downstream signaling pathways.

Transcriptomic Insights into Acupuncture Mechanisms in Protecting Ovarian Function in Mice with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effect of acupuncture on ovarian function in mice with cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) via transcriptomic analysis. METHODS: Twenty female C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups: control, model, acupuncture, and non-meridian/non-acupoint (NOMA). POI was induced in the model, acupuncture, and non-meridian/non-acupoint groups via cyclophosphamide injection. The acupuncture group received acupuncture at Guanyuan (CV 4), bilateral Guilai (ST 29), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for 3 weeks. After the intervention, ovarian tissue weight and ovarian coefficient were calculated, serum levels of key reproductive hormones including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) were detected, and ovarian histopathological changes were observed to evaluate ovarian function. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to explore key functional terms and signaling pathways. Western blot was finally applied to validate the expression of core proteins related to mitochondrial function, endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammatory pathways. RESULTS: The model group showed reduced ovarian weight and elevated FSH levels. The acupuncture group exhibited significantly higher ovarian weight and coefficient, lower FSH levels, and increased E2 and AMH levels compared to the model group (all P<0.01). Transcriptomic analysis revealed 4,021 DEGs between groups. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that these DEGs were mainly involved in oocyte development, steroid hormone synthesis, and pathways related to mitochondrial function, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and inflammatory signaling. Western blot analysis showed that acupuncture partially restored mitochondrial function markers cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV and NADH dehydrogenase 1 beta subcomplex subunit 8 and reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress markers (glucose-regulated protein 78 and Calnexin, P<0.01). It also downregulated pro-inflammatory proteins (IL-17R, IL-17A, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2) and upregulated proteins related to metabolic homeostasis (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, receptor-interacting protein 140, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, and sirtuin 1, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture effectively alleviates cyclophosphamide-induced POI in mice, improves ovarian function and follicular quality by regulating cellular functions and inflammatory pathways, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for POI.

Candidate biomarker identification for blood stasis syndrome among coronary artery disease patients using the Olink proteomics platform.

OBJECTIVE: To identify candidate biomarkers of blood stasis syndrome (BSS) associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and explore the underlying inflammatory mechanisms. METHODS: Using the Olink Target 96 Inflammation panel, we identified plasma proteins in a group of 88 patients comprised of healthy controls (HCs), those with CAD and BSS (CAD-BSS), those with CAD without BSS (CAD-non-BSS), and those with BSS without CAD (non-CAD-BSS) (n = 22 in each group). Protein molecules that were specifically expressed in CAD or BSS were identified by differential expression analyses. Subsequently, potential protein biomarkers were identified using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to enable CAD and BSS differentiation. The potential functional mechanisms of identified proteins were then determined by Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses. RESULTS: Patients with CAD had 31/92 upregulated and 4/92 downregulated proteins compared with those without. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 11 (CCL11), CUB domain-containing protein 1, hepatocyte growth factor, sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), CCL25, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) showed the strongest upregulation (all P <0.0001). Patients with BSS had 8/92 downregulated proteins, specifically CCL28, CCL11, cystatin D, STAM-binding protein, 4E-BP1, matrix metalloproteinase-10, SIRT2, and monocyte chemotactic protein 4, compared with those without (all P < 0.05). The CAD-BSS group had one interleukin-17 (IL-17) upregulated and 10/92 downregulated proteins compared with the CAD-non-BSS group. When compared with the non-CAD-BSS group, the CAD-BSS group had 8 upregulated proteins but only 2 downregulated proteins, namely interleukin-10 receptor subunit alpha (IL-10RA) and TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (both P < 0.05). Totally 10 proteins were identified as potential candidate biomarkers of BSS in CAD patients. After least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis, two proteins that distinguished between BSS and non-BSS individuals among CAD patients were identified (SIRT2 and 4E-BP1). These proteins are primarily associated with the mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway, which regulates inflammation and oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that the inflammatory response and mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway participate in CAD and BSS development, and that SIRT2 and 4E-BP1 are prospective protein biomarkers for patients with CAD and BSS.

Integrated Multiomics Analyses of the Molecular Landscape of Sarcopenia in Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle is a major target for ethanol-induced perturbations, leading to sarcopenia in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). The complex interactions and pathways involved in adaptive and maladaptive responses to ethanol in skeletal muscle are not well understood. Unlike hypothesis-driven experiments, an integrated multiomics-experimental validation approach provides a comprehensive view of these interactions. METHODS: We performed multiomics analyses with experimental validation to identify novel regulatory mechanisms of sarcopenia in ALD. Studies were done in a comprehensive array of models including ethanol-treated (ET) murine and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes (hiPSCm), skeletal muscle from a mouse model of ALD (mALD) and human patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis and controls. We generated 13 untargeted datasets, including chromatin accessibility (assay for transposase accessible chromatin), RNA sequencing, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, acetylomics and metabolomics, and conducted integrated multiomics analyses using UpSet plots and feature extraction. Key findings were validated using immunoblots, redox measurements (NAD+/NADH ratio), imaging and senescence-associated molecular phenotype (SAMP) assays. Mechanistic studies included mitochondrial-targeted Lactobacillus brevis NADH oxidase (MitoLbNOX) to increase redox ratio and MitoTempo as a mitochondrial free radical scavenger. RESULTS: Multiomics analyses revealed enrichment in mitochondrial oxidative function, protein synthesis and senescence pathways consistent with the known effects of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) during normoxia. Across preclinical and clinical models, HIF1α targets (n = 32 genes) and signalling genes (n > 100 genes) (n = 3 ATACseq, n = 65 phosphoproteomics, n = 10 acetylomics, n = 6 C2C12 proteomics, n = 106 C2C12 RNAseq, n = 64 hiPSC RNAseq, n = 30 hiPSC proteomics, n = 3 mouse proteomics, n = 25 mouse RNAseq, n = 8 human RNAseq, n = 3 human proteomics) were increased. Stabilization of HIF1α (C2C12, 6hEtOH 0.24 ± 0.09; p = 0.043; mALD 0.32 ± 0.074; p = 0.005; data shown as mean difference ± standard error mean) was accompanied by enrichment in the early transient and late change clusters, -log(p-value) = 1.5-3.8, of the HIF1α signalling pathway. Redox ratio was reduced in ET myotubes (C2C12: 15512 ± 872.1, p < 0.001) and mALD muscle, with decreased expression of electron transport chain components (CI-V, p < 0.05) and Sirt3 (C2C12: 0.067 ± 0.023, p = 0.025; mALD: 0.41 ± 0.12, p = 0.013). Acetylation of mitochondrial proteins was increased in both models (C2C12: 107364 ± 4558, p = 0.03; mALD: 40036 ± 18 987, p = 0.049). Ethanol-induced SAMP was observed across models (P16: C2C12: 0.2845 ± 0.1145, p < 0.05; hiPSCm: 0.2591, p = 0.041). MitoLbNOX treatment reversed redox imbalance, HIF1α stabilization, global acetylation and myostatin expression (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: An integrated multiomics approach, combined with experimental validation, identifies HIF1α stabilization and accelerated post-mitotic senescence as novel mechanisms of sarcopenia in ALD. These findings show the complex molecular interactions leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and progressive sarcopenia in ALD.

LINC00887 promotes GCN5-dependent H3K27cr level and CRC metastasis via recruitment of YEATS2 and enhancing ETS1 expression.

Recent observations have revealed upregulation of H3K27cr in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues; however, the underlying cause remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of H3K27cr upregulation and its roles in CRC metastasis. Clinically, our findings showed that H3K27cr served as a highly accurate diagnostic marker to distinguish CRC tissues from healthy controls. Elevated levels of LINC00887 and H3K27cr were associated with a poorer prognosis in CRC patients. Functionally, LINC00887 and H3K27cr facilitated the migration and invasion of CRC cells. Mechanistically, LINC00887 interacted with SIRT3 protein. Overexpressed of LINC00887 obstructed the enrichment of SIRT3 within GCN5 promoter, thereby elevating H3K27ac but not H3K27cr level within this region, subsequently activating GCN5 expression. This activation increased the global level of H3K27cr, promoting the enrichment of GCN5, H3K27cr, and YEATS2 within ETS1 promoter, activating ETS1 transcription and ultimately promoting the metastasis of CRC. The in vivo study demonstrated that inhibition of LINC00887 suppressed CRC metastasis, but this inhibitory effect was nullified when mice were treated with NaCr. In conclusion, our results confirmed the diagnostic biomarker potential of H3K27cr in individuals with CRC, and proposed a functional model to elucidate the involvement of LINC00887 in promoting CRC metastasis by elevating H3K27cr level.

Simultaneous targeting of peripheral and brain tumors with a therapeutic nanoparticle to disrupt metabolic adaptability at both sites.

Brain metastasis of advanced breast cancer often results in deleterious consequences. Metastases to the brain lead to significant challenges in treatment options, as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents conventional therapy. Thus, we hypothesized that creation of a nanoparticle (NP) that distributes to both primary tumor site and across the BBB for secondary brain tumor can be extremely beneficial. Here, we report a simple targeting strategy to attack both the primary breast and secondary brain tumors utilizing a single NP platform. The nature of these mitochondrion-targeted, BBB-penetrating NPs allow for simultaneous targeting and drug delivery to the hyperpolarized mitochondrial membrane of the extracranial primary tumor site in addition to tumors at the brain. By utilizing a combination of such dual anatomical distributing NPs loaded with therapeutics, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept idea to combat the increased metabolic plasticity of brain metastases by lowering two major energy sources, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis. By utilizing complementary studies and genomic analyses, we demonstrate the utility of a chemotherapeutic prodrug to decrease OXPHOS and glycolysis by pairing with a NP loaded with pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 inhibitor. Decreasing glycolysis aims to combat the metabolic flexibility of both primary and secondary tumors for therapeutic outcome. We also address the in vivo safety parameters by addressing peripheral neuropathy and neurobehavior outcomes. Our results also demonstrate that this combination therapeutic approach utilizes mitochondrial genome targeting strategy to overcome DNA repair-based chemoresistance mechanisms.
