Involvement of SIRT1 and SIRT3 in Effects of Hypoxic Hypobaric Preconditioning on Hippocampal Damage Induced by Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion in C57/6j and a7nAchRs(-/-) Mice

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Hypoxic preconditioning is known to induce neuroprotection, but its effects and pathways in chronic brain pathology still unknown. The aim was to establish an involvement of a7 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (a7nAchRs), and sirtuins of 1 (SIRT1) and 3 (SIRT3) types in the effects o...

Resveratrol Alleviates Osteoporosis by Promoting Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via SITR1/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Senile osteoporosis is mainly caused by reduced osteoblast differentiation and has become the leading cause of fractures in the elderly worldwide. Natural organics are emerging as a potential option for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. This study was designed to study the effect of ...

Pre-treatment of the beta3-adrenergic receptor agonist BRL37344 reduces in vivo myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by improving AMPK and SIRT1 activity and by suppressing mTOR and p70S6K signaling pathways

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the role and signaling pathways of β3-AR in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. 47 male rats were randomly divided into two main groups to evaluate infarct size and molecular parameters. Rats in...

tiRNA-Val promotes angiogenesis via Sirt1-Hif-1α axis in mice with diabetic retinopathy

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a specific microvascular complication arising from diabetes, and its pathogenesis is not completely understood. tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs), a new type of small noncoding RNA generated by specific cleavage of tRNAs, has become a promising target for ...

Clinical significance of sirtuin 1 level in sepsis: correlation with disease risk, severity, and mortality risk

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
This study aimed to investigate the value of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in differentiating sepsis patients from healthy controls (HCs), and its correlation with inflammation, disease severity, as well as prognosis in sepsis patients. Serum samples were collected from 180 sepsis patients and 180 age- and gender-ma...

Inhibition of miR-383 suppresses oxidative stress and improves endothelial function by increasing sirtuin 1

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (2), 2020
Previous research has shown that suppression of miR-383 can prevent inflammation of the endothelium, as well as postpone the development of atherosclerosis. However, the role of miR-383 in endothelial cell apoptosis in diabetes remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miR...

Knockdown of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reverses cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer cells through inhibiting miR-138-5p-regulated EZH2 and SIRT1

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Cisplatin resistance (DDP-resistance) remains one of the major causes of poor prognosis in females with ovarian cancer. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of cellular processes, including chemoresistance. The aim of this study was to explore the ro...

Testosterone antagonizes paraquat-induced cardiomyocyte senescence via the mIGF-1/SIRT1 signaling pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (10), 2020
Testosterone has been demonstrated to antagonize doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte senescence. However, whether testosterone prevents the paraquat-induced cardiomyocyte senescence is largely unknown. The detection of SA-β-gal activity was performed using senescence β-gal staining kit and the re...

Down-regulated miR-448 relieves spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury by up-regulating SIRT1

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (5), 2018
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in the progression of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury (SCII). The role of miR-448 and SIRT1 in SCII was investigated in this study, to provide further insights into prevention and improvement of this disorder. In this study, expressions of miR-448 and SIRT1 protein w...

Sirtuin 1 Levels in Recurrent Implantation Failure

Abstract Sirtuin 1 has an important role in cellular processes, including apoptosis and cellular stress. The purpose of this study was to assess serum sirtuin 1 levels in women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). In this cross-sectional study, we included 28 women with RIF, 29 healthy women who ha...
