Neuroinflammation is associated with the development of depression. Deacetylases SIRT1 and SIRT2 are reported to exert neuroprotective effects in aging, neurogenesis, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the

In our everyday lives, we are constantly being exposed to DNA damaging agents, both from internal and external sources. The most deleterious type of DNA damage a cell can suffer is the DNA double‐stranded break (DSB). Breast Cancer 1 (BRCA1) is a protein necessary for the proper repair of resultant DNA DSBs through the homologous ...

Role of microglial SIRT2 on neuroinflammation
reservedSirtuin 2 (SIRT2) has been associated with aging, age-related pathologies and neuroinflammation. In the present study, we have analyzed in mice the implication of microglial sirtuin 2 in two different models of neuroinflammation: an acute pro ...

SIRT2 as a Therapeutic Target for Age-Related Disorders [PDF]
Sirtuin proteins are conserved regulators of aging that have recently emerged as important modifiers of several diseases which commonly occur later in life such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. In mammals, there are seven sirtuins (SIRT1-7), which display diversity in subcellular localization and function.

Inhibition of Sirt2 Alleviates Fibroblasts Activation and Pulmonary Fibrosis via Smad2/3 Pathway
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease with unknown cause and limited treatment options. Its mechanism needs to be further explored. Sirtuin2 (Sirt2), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase, has been proved to be ...

SIRT1 and SIRT2: emerging targets in neurodegeneration
Abstract Sirtuins are NAD‐dependent protein deacetylases known to have protective effects against age‐related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. In mammals, there are seven sirtuins (SIRT1‐7), which display diversity in subcellular localization and function.

The SIRT2 Deacetylase Stabilizes Slug to Control Malignancy of Basal-like Breast Cancer
Summary: Overabundance of Slug protein is common in human cancer and represents an important determinant underlying the aggressiveness of basal-like breast cancer (BLBC).

Modulation Of Microtubule Acetylation By The Interplay Of TPPP/p25, SIRT2 And New Anticancer Agents With Anti-SIRT2 Potency [PDF]
AbstractThe microtubule network exerts multifarious functions controlled by its decoration with various proteins and post-translational modifications. The disordered microtubule associated Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Protein (TPPP/p25) and the NAD+-dependent tubulin deacetylase sirtuin-2 (SIRT2) play key roles in oligodendrocyte differentiation by

Effects of Dimerization on the Deacylase Activities of Human SIRT2
Human sirtuin isoform 2 (SIRT2) is an NAD+-dependent enzyme that functions as a lysine deacetylase and defatty-acylase. Here, we report that SIRT2 readily dimerizes in solution and in cells and that dimerization affects its ability to remove different acyl modifications from substrates.
