Summary: Sirtuins (SIRT) are a unique group of enzymes that can remove acyl groups from lysine residues using NAD+ as a co-substrate. The members of the SIRT family have distinct characteristics and biological functions, affecting various metabolic processes in different cellular locations. Understanding the distribution, specific biological roles, and effects of SIRT in human tissues is crucial for identifying molecular mechanisms and finding foods that can beneficially enhance SIRT activity.

Summary: Calorie restriction (CR) and SIRT1 have distinct yet converging effects on white adipose tissue (WAT) gene expression, with CR enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and reducing WAT inflammation, while SIRT1 downregulates extracellular matrix-related gene networks. These findings suggest that while SIRT1 may not mediate most of CR's effects on WAT gene expression, the two pathways work together to ameliorate WAT inflammation.

Summary: Late-onset calorie restriction has a positive impact on lipid metabolism but a negative impact on inflammation in the liver of old rats. It can restore age-related imbalance in lipid metabolism but does not improve expression of antioxidant enzymes and leads to progression of age-related inflammation in the liver.

Summary: Long-term moderate calorie restriction (CR) improves obese male fertility by reducing weight gain, increasing testicular coefficients, improving blood glucose and lipid levels, boosting testosterone levels, enhancing sperm quality, reducing testicular morphological damage and cell apoptosis, and mitigating oxidative stress through SIRT1 activation in testicular tissues.

Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) has different effects on lipid metabolism compared to caloric restriction (CR), leading to more weight and fat loss, but also reduced expression of antioxidant enzymes. However, fasting can cause insulin resistance and increased PLIN5 expression, possibly reflecting transient lipid storage.

Summary: A study on individuals with obesity undergoing a 3-week moderate calorie restriction found that chronotype did not have a significant effect on the magnitude of weight loss, but there was a tendency for owls to reduce body fat content.

Summary: The study identified LKB1 as a direct activator of Sirt1 induced by resveratrol, showing that resveratrol promotes the binding between LKB1 and Sirt1. Furthermore, the LKB1-mediated phosphorylation of Sirt1 leads to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration.

Summary: The risk of malignant tumor development is increasing worldwide, with obesity being a known risk factor. Obesity is associated with metabolic alterations that promote cancerogenesis, including increased levels of estrogens, chronic inflammation, and hypoxia. Calorie restriction has been shown to improve the condition of patients with various diseases by influencing metabolism, hormone levels, and cell processes. It can regulate signal cascades that affect cancer cell proliferation, migration, survival, apoptosis, and response to chemotherapy.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the regulation of NAD+-related enzymes in the liver and their relationships with glucose and lipid metabolism. It was found that both high-fat diet feeding and calorie restriction increased hepatic NAD+ levels and the expression of related genes. In addition, high-fat diet feeding and calorie restriction had different effects on hepatic lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. These findings highlight the importance of hepatic NAD+ metabolism in maintaining metabolic flexibility.

Summary: KRAS mutations are common in pancreatic and lung cancers, but not all mutant tumors are addicted to mutated KRAS. A 30-gene transcriptome signature called KDS30 has been discovered, which encodes a novel EGFR/ERBB2-driven signaling network and predicts KRAS oncogene addiction. High KDS30 tumors from KRAS-mutant patients are enriched in genes upregulated by EGFR, ERBB2, KRAS, or MEK. Combination therapy with EGFR/ERBB2 and MEK inhibitors inhibits tumor growth and prolongs survival in high KDS30 KRAS-mutant lung and pancreatic xenografts, suggesting its potential clinical application.
