Research progress on Sirtuins (SIRTs) family modulators

Area of Science:

• Biochemistry
• Molecular Biology
• Cellular Biology

Background:

• Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases vital for cellular signaling and biological functions.
• The mammalian sirtuin family (SIRT1-7) has therapeutic implications for aging, metabolism, stress response, and disease.
• SIRT equilibrium is critical for preventing diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the molecular structure, functions, and modulators of the sirtuin family.
• To provide a systematic overview of sirtuin modulation strategies and their clinical applications.
• To explore the regulatory mechanisms of sirtuin modulators (agonists and inhibitors).

Main Methods:

• Literature review of sirtuin research.
• Analysis of sirtuin molecular structure and function.
• Classification and historical evolution of sirtuin modulators.
• Systematic overview of sirtuin modulation strategies and clinical applications.

Main Results:

• Sirtuins play key roles in cellular aging, metabolism, stress response, and disease pathogenesis.
• Sirtuin modulators (agonists and inhibitors) offer therapeutic potential for various diseases.
• Understanding sirtuin regulation is crucial for developing effective disease treatments.

Conclusions:

• Sirtuin modulators are significant for disease treatment and maintaining physiological balance.
• Further research into sirtuin modulator challenges and future directions is warranted.
• Maintaining sirtuin family equilibrium is essential for health and disease prevention.
