Histone deacetylases are required for transcriptional repression in eukaryotes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has several histone deacetylases, of which ySir2p is the most conserved throughout evolution. Currently, there is no report on the interacting protein partner of a human Sir2 homolog, SIRT2. Here we show for the first time that SIRT2 interacts with the homeobox transcription factor, HOXA10, which was identified in a two-hybrid screen. Interactions were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation from in vitro translations as well as in human cell-free extracts. Taken together with mouse knockout studies, our results raise the intriguing possibility that SIRT2 plays a role in mammalian development.

Doxorubicin (DOXO) is a widely used anti-cancer agent, yet the precise mechanism underlying the induction of tumor cell death remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate new mechanisms by which doxorubicin induces apoptosis in the EMT6 mouse breast carcinoma cell line. The role of doxorubicin was assessed using the XTT assay.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) is a malignancy with poor clinical outcomes and limited treatment options. While extensive research has investigated genetic and signaling pathways in CHOL, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. A key hurdle has been the lack of a systematic, multi-omic approach to illuminate causal relationships between genetic variants and CHOL risk.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an aging-related neurodegenerative disorder that results in progressively impaired memory and is often associated with amyloid plaques. Previous studies implicate the deacetylases SIRT1 and SIRT2 in regulating the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Here, we investigated whether APP is regulated by the related deacetylase SIRT6, which shows aging-associated decreases in activity.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, chronic inflammation and airway remodeling (AR) in airways and lung parenchyma. AR, a lung response, involves mucus production, airflow issues, and structural changes. It is exacerbated by neurogenic inflammation from activated sensory nerves, highlighting the interplay between neuronal and immune regulation in COPD.

Background: Identification of non-sputum diagnostic markers for tuberculosis (TB) is urgently needed. This exploratory study aimed to discover potential serum protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of active pulmonary TB (PTB).
Method: We employed Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) to measure levels of 92 protein biomarkers related to inflammation in serum samples from three patient groups: 30 patients with active PTB, 29 patients with other respiratory diseases with latent TB (ORD with LTBI+), and 29 patients with other respiratory diseases without latent TB (ORD with LTBI-).
