The sirtuins (SIRTs), including seven family members, belong to class III histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, which have been intensively investigated in cancers. Although the function of SIRTs in the cancer immunology is explored, SIRT-specific mechanisms regulating necroptosis-related innate immune response are not clear. In our present study, we found that both the mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT3 and SIRT6 are significantly increased in the PCa tissues (HR, CI = 3.30 - 03; HR, CI = 2.35 - 08; and HR, CI = 9.20 - 08) and were associated with patients' Gleason score and nodal metastasis. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that the PCa patients with higher expression levels of SIRT3 and SIRT6 had shorter overall survival (OS). Mechanistically, we found that SIRT3 and SIRT6 promote prostate cancer progress by inhibiting RIPK3-mediated necroptosis and innate immune response. Knockdown of both SIRT3 and SIRT6 not only activates TNF-induced necroptosis but also refreshes the corresponding recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils. Overall, our study identified that SIRT3 and SIRT6 are key regulators of necroptosis during prostate cancer progression.

Molecular Sentinels: Unveiling the Role of Sirtuins in Prostate Cancer Progression.

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a critical global health challenge, with high mortality rates and significant heterogeneity, particularly in advanced stages. While early-stage PCa is often manageable with conventional treatments, metastatic PCa is notoriously resistant, highlighting an urgent need for precise biomarkers and innovative therapeutic strategies. This review focuses on the dualistic roles of sirtuins, a family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases, dissecting their unique contributions to tumor suppression or progression in PCa depending on the cellular context.

Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer characterized by rapid growth, resistance to chemotherapy, and complex genetic changes, with sirtuins playing crucial roles in its progression.
- Each sirtuin has distinct effects, with SIRT1 promoting tumor survival under stress, SIRT2 inhibiting cell proliferation, and SIRT3 showing effects against tumor growth through mitochondrial regulation; SIRT4 and SIRT5 also contribute by influencing metabolic pathways.
- The review argues for the importance of targeting sirtuin activity in therapy development to improve treatment outcomes and combat the challenges posed by PDAC.
Transcriptomic analysis and epigenetic regulators in human oocytes at different stages of oocyte meiotic maturation.

Human oocytes are highly specialized cells with the capacity to store and regulate mRNAs during oocyte maturation, in preparation for post-fertilization steps. Here we performed single-oocyte transcriptomic analysis of human oocytes in three meitoic maturation stages - Germinal Vesicle (GV; n = 6), Metaphase I (MI; n = 6) and Metaphase II (MII; n = 7). Single-oocyte transcriptomic analysis revealed that the total number of expressed genes progressively decreased from GV to MII stages, with 9660 genes being transcribed in GV, 8734 in MI and 5889 in MII.

Northern Crayfish, Faxonius virilis, displays various strategies that allow them to survive extended periods of oxygen deprivation. However, certain epigenetic adaptations that these crayfish use have not been studied in detail, and the role of specific mechanisms used such as histone modifications remain unknown. Epigenetic studies offer a new perspective on how crayfish can regulate gene expression to redirect energy to essential functions needed for survival.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are well-known as nicotinic adenine dinucleotide(NAD)-dependent histone deacetylases, which are important epigenetic enzymes consisting of seven family members (SIRT1-7). Of note, SIRT1 and SIRT2 are distributed in the nucleus and cytoplasm, while SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 are localized in the mitochondria. SIRT6 and SIRT7 are distributed in the nucleus.
