[Role of SIRTs in cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and targeted intervention of Chinese medicine].

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI) is a complex cascade process and seriously hinders the recovery of patients with acute ischemic stroke, which has become an urgent public health issue to be addressed. Silent information regulators(SIRTs) are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD~+)-dependent deacetylases, capable of deacylating the histone and non-histone lysine groups. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that SIRTs are able to regulate the pathological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial dysfunction, and programmed cell death of CIRI through post-translational deacetylation, and exert the neuroprotection function.
