Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common neoplasms, and metastasis is the most important feature for HCC-related deaths. Mounting evidence implies the dynamic regulatory role of SIRT2, a histone deacetylase, in cancer cells. Unfortunately, the role of SIRT2 and the antitumor activity of its inhibition are not known in HCC. The present study aims to evaluate the biological function of SIRT2 in HCC and identify the target of SIRT2 as well as evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. We found that SIRT2 was upregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues, and this was correlated with reduced patient survival. Although CCK8 and colony-formation assays showed that SIRT2 inhibiton marginally promotes proliferation in HCC cell lines, SIRT2 knockdown decreased the invasion of HCC cells. We demonstrated that downregulation of SIRT2 could inhibit its downstream target phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 and glutaminase, which is related to mitochondrial metabolism and the E-Cadherin pathway. These results demonstrate, for the first time that downregulation of SIRT2 decreases migration as well as invasion in human HCC cells, indicating that inhibiting SIRT2 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating HCC.

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.

Decreased nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) content has been shown to contribute to metabolic dysfunction during aging, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the effect of NAD on ovulatory dysfunction in PCOS by regulating glycolysis has not been reported. Based on the observations of granulosa cells (GCs) transcriptome data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the signal pathways including glycolysis and nicotinate-nicotinamide metabolism were significantly enriched, and most genes of the above pathway like LDHA and SIRT2 were down-regulated in PCOS patients.

Article Synopsis
- Qingshen granule (QSG) has anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties that can help alleviate renal damage caused by renal fibrosis (RF), particularly by affecting dendritic cells (DCs).
- The study used adenine-induced RF animal models to assess how QSG influences immune cell differentiation and function, alongside examining its metabolic effects on glucose and lipid processes in DCs and T cells.
- Results showed that QSG reduced kidney damage, lowered proinflammatory cytokines, altered DC markers, and impacted metabolic gene expression, ultimately promoting DC maturation while inhibiting their migratory ability and antigen presentation to T cells.
