Function of the SIRT3 mitochondrial deacetylase in cellular physiology, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease

چکیده
In mammals, seven members of the sirtuin protein family known as class III histone deacetylase have been identified for their characteristic features. These distinguished characteristics include the tissues where they are distributed or located, enzymatic activities, molecular functions, and involvement in diseases. Among the sirtuin members, SIRT3 has received much attention for its role in cancer genetics, aging, neurodegenerative disease, and stress resistance. SIRT3 controls energy demand during stress conditions such as fasting and exercise as well as metabolism through the deacetylation and acetylation of mitochondrial enzymes. SIRT3 is well known for its ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species and to prevent the development of cancerous cells or apoptosis. This review article provides a comprehensive review on numerous (noteworthy) molecular functions of SIRT3 and its effect on cancer cells and various diseases including Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Where in the cell is SIRT3?--functional localization of an NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase.
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent enzymes that have been implicated in a wide range of cellular processes, including pathways that affect diabetes, cancer, lifespan and Parkinson's disease. To understand their cellular function in these age-related diseases, identification of sirtuin targets and their subcellular localization is paramount. SIRT3 (sirtuin 3), a human homologue of Sir2 (silent informat...
متن کاملDifferent Cytotoxic Effects of Caper from Different Geographical Regions May Be Related to Changes in Mitochondrial Sirt3
Background and objectives: Beside its nutritional role, caper (Capparis spinosa) has long been used as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer remedy. In the present study, we tested whether this plant can make effective changes in Sirt3 and mitochondrial function in colorectal carcinoma cell line since mitochondrial dysfunction has long been imp...
متن کاملLetter to the editor: decreased SIRT3 expression is a good potential biomarker associated with diseases.
TO THE EDITOR: Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3), one of the Sirtuin’s family members, functions as a critical mitochondrial deacetylase, which implicates in a series of metabolic processes. However, the molecular mechanism of SIRT3 remains unclear. Recently, the article by Porter et al. (3), published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, manifested that SIRT3 knockdown cells...
متن کاملSOD1, an unexpected novel target for cancer therapy
Cancer cells have elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated in majority by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, the manganese dismutase SOD2 acts as a major anti-oxidant enzyme. The deacetylase SIRT3 regulates the activity of SOD2. Recently, SIRT3 was reported to be decreased in 87% of breast cancers, resulting therefore in a decrease in the activity of SOD...

Cancer has become a major health problem worldwide. The reported incidence of new cancer cases is estimated at 19.3 million, with a mortality rate of 10 million in the world in 2020. There are some approaches for cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, neoadjuant surgery, hormone therapy, and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy meant to destroy rapidly growi...
