Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacetylases that regulate a large number of physiological processes. These enzymes are highly conserved and act as energy sensors to coordinate different metabolic responses in a controlled manner. At present, seven mammalian sirtuins (SIRT 1-7) have been identified, with SIRT1 and SIRT6 shown to exert their metabolic actions in the hypothalamus, both with crucial roles in eliciting responses to dampen metabolic complications associated with obesity. Therefore, our aim is to compile the current understanding on the role of SIRT1 and SIRT6 in the hypothalamus, especially highlighting their actions on the control of energy balance.

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
- The review summarizes long-term research by the Saint-Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology on the biological activity of peptide bioregulators and compares findings from domestic and international studies.
- Russian scientists have taken the lead in using buccal epithelium as a diagnostic marker for age-related diseases, highlighting their significant contributions in this field.
- The research reveals that peptides from the epiphysis can enhance melatonin secretion and influence circadian rhythms in the elderly by regulating gene expression and reducing harmful protein synthesis, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for age-related issues.

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.

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.

Purpose: Caloric restriction (CR), the permanent or periodic reduction of caloric intake, is a dietary strategy that promotes longevity and healthspan, yielding multiple beneficial effects, such as improved insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function, decreased body weight, and mitigation of cardiometabolic risk factors. The purpose of our study was the in silico and in vitro assessment of the effects exerted by pinostilbene on SIRT1 and SIRT6 compared to those of resveratrol, a known activator of these enzymes.
Materials And Methods: Molecular docking was carried out to determine the interactions with SIRT1 and SIRT6 and, further, the effect of pinostilbene on their activity was tested in vitro to evaluate if it parallels resveratrol's effects regarding SIRT activation.
