Controversy has recently arisen over the role of sirtuins in metazoan aging. In this issue of Cell Reports, Banerjee et al. demonstrate that Drosophila Sir2 is necessary for life span extension in response to dietary restriction and that its overexpression in the fat body increases the life span.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Mammalian Sirtuins and Energy Metabolism
Sirtuins are highly conserved NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases and/or ADP-ribosyltransferases that can extend the lifespan of several lower model organisms including yeast, worms and flies. The seven mammalian sirtuins, SIRT1 to SIRT7, have emerged as

The dual role of sirtuins in cancer: biological functions and implications
Sirtuins are pivotal in orchestrating numerous cellular pathways, critically influencing cell metabolism, DNA repair, aging processes, and oxidative stress. In recent years, the involvement of sirtuins in tumor biology has garnered substantial attention,

Sirtuins and Pyridine Nucleotides [PDF]
The silencer information regulator (Sir) family of proteins has attracted much attention during the past decade due to its prominent role in metabolic homeostasis in mammals. The Sir1–4 proteins were first discovered in yeast as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + )-dependent deacetylases, which through a gene ...

Dihydroquinazolinones by Titanocene‐Catalyzed Reductive Radical Addition to Quinazolinones
Tri‐ and tetracyclic dihydroquinazolinones or quinazolinones by titanocene catalysis: A highly diastereoselective and efficient reductive radical addition to quinazolinones enables an unprecedented entry to pharmaceutically relevant dihydroquinazolinones by avoiding the interception of radical intermediates prior to the slow radical addition.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

This study demonstrates that resveratrol alleviates allergic rhinitis by activating SIRT1, thereby disrupting the mitochondrial ROS‐inflammatory cycle, improving mitochondrial function, promoting anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage polarisation, and reducing epithelial oxidative damage.

Sirtuins are evolutionary conserved NAD+ dependent acetyl-lysine deacetylases and ADP ribosyltransferases dual-function enzymes involved in the regulation of metabolism and lifespan. Sirtuins represent a promising new class of III NAD dependent histone deacetylases that regulate a number of physiological processes, originally identified in yeast ...
