Unlabelled: P27(Kip1) (CDKN1B) regulates cellular proliferation and senescence, and p27(Kip1) deficiency in cancer is strongly correlated with poor prognosis of multiple cancer types. Understanding the mechanism of p27(Kip1) loss in cancer and the consequences of restoring p27(Kip1) levels is therefore critical for effective management during therapy. Here, SIRT1, a class III histone deacetylase (HDAC), is identified as an important regulator of p27(Kip1) expression. Mechanistically, SIRT1 reduces p27(Kip1) expression by decreasing p27(Kip1) protein stability through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In addition, SIRT1 silencing suppresses non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) proliferation and induces senescence in a p27(Kip1)-dependent manner. Furthermore, SIRT1 silencing dramatically suppresses tumor formation and proliferation in two distinct NSCLC xenograft mouse models. Collectively, these data demonstrate that not only SIRT1 is an important regulator of p27(Kip1) but also SIRT inhibition induces senescence and antigrowth potential in lung cancer in vivo.
Implications: SIRT1 is a key regulator of p27 protein levels and SIRT1 inhibition is a viable strategy for NSCLC therapy by means of p27 reactivation.

Background: Acute systemic inflammation affects many organs and it occurs in a wide range of conditions such as acute lung injury (ALI). Inflammation-triggered oxidative pathways together with the caspase activation seen in ALI, result in apoptosis. Dapagliflozin (DPG) is an agent that is known to have oxidative stress-reducing and anti-inflammatory effects in many tissues.

Objectives: Echinacoside (ECH) is an anti-fibrotic phenylethanoid glycoside derived from the plant that protects against cardiac dysfunction by mitigating apoptosis, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. Nevertheless, ECH's precise function and mechanisms in addressing cardiac fibrosis are still not fully understood.
Materials And Methods: In our current investigation, we induced cardiac fibrosis in mice by administering Angiotensin II (Ang II) and subsequently assessed the effects of ECH treatment four weeks post-fibrosis induction.

Tau hyper-phosphorylation has been recognized as an essential contributor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. In the last decade, tau hyper-phosphorylation has gained considerable concern in AD therapeutic development. Tauopathies are manifested with a broad spectrum of symptoms, from dementia to cognitive decline and motor impairments.

The protective effects of mangiferin (MAG) against etoposide- and high glucose (HG)-induced DNA damage and aging were investigated in human bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). Etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, was used to induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) in hBM-MSCs, resulting in increased genotoxicity, elevated levels of the DNA damage sensor ATM and CDKN1A, and decreased levels of the aging markers H3 and H4. MAG activated AMPK and SIRT1, thus protecting against DSB-induced damage.

Background: The cellular prion protein (PrP), a glycoprotein encoded by the PRNP gene, is known to modulate muscle mass and exercise capacity. However, the role of PrP in the maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscle during ageing remains unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the change in PrP expression during muscle formation using C2C12 cells and evaluated muscle function in Prnp wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice at different ages (1, 9 and 15 months).
