This study aimed to compare the sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) expression between tumor tissue and adjacent tissue, and to investigate the association of tumor SIRT2 expression with clinical characteristics and survival profiles in cervical cancer patients.One hundred ninety-one cervical cancer patients were reviewed in this retrospective study. All patients underwent surgical resection and had well-preserved tumor tissue and adjacent tissue, which were obtained for SIRT2 expression detection by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Clinical parameters were obtained. Disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated.Both SIRT2 expression by IHC score (P < .001) and the percentage of SIRT2 high expression (defined as IHC score >3) (P < .001) were declined in tumor tissue compared with paired adjacent tissue. In addition, SIRT2 expression in tumor tissue was negatively correlated with tumor size (P = .047), lymph node metastasis (P = .009) and FIGO stage (P = .001). And the DFS (P = .007) as well as OS (P = .008) were better in patients with SIRT2 high expression compared with patents with SIRT2 low expression. Univariate Cox's proportional hazards regression model analyses revealed that high SIRT2 expression in tumor tissue was a predictive factor for more prolonged DFS (P = .009) and OS (P = .011), while multivariate Cox's proportional hazards regression model analysis disclosed that it lacks independent predictive value for DFS (P = .084) or OS (P = .132).SIRT2 expression exhibits potential to serve as a biomarker for disease surveillance and prognosis in the management of cervical cancer patients.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes, and inflammation plays a crucial role. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, which is involved in the regulation of cell metabolism, proliferation and longevity through deacetylation. Our previous research showed a positive correlation between urinary SIRT2 levels and renal injury markers in DN patients.

Recent therapeutic strategies have highlighted the potential of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) as effective anticancer agents, particularly for colon cancer. These metabolites can modulate cellular metabolism and induce epigenetic changes, inhibiting tumor growth. Nonetheless, certain cancer cells may utilize ketone bodies, like BHB as nutrient sources under hypoxic conditions, potentially reducing treatment efficacy.

The association between late replication timing and low transcription rates in eukaryotic heterochromatin is well known, yet the specific mechanisms underlying this link remain uncertain. In , the histone deacetylase Sir2 is required for both transcriptional silencing and late replication at the repetitive ribosomal DNA (rDNA) arrays. We have previously reported that in the absence of , a de-repressed RNA PolII repositions MCM replicative helicases from their loading site at the ribosomal origin, where they abut well-positioned, high-occupancy nucleosomes, to an adjacent region with lower nucleosome occupancy.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with drastically altered astrocytic metabolism. Astrocytic GABA and HO are associated with memory impairment in AD and synthesized through the Monoamine Oxidase B (MAOB)-mediated multi-step degradation of putrescine. However, the enzymes downstream to MAOB in this pathway remain unidentified.
