ABSTRACT
The sirtuin (SIRT) family is well-known as a group of deacetylase enzymes that rely on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Among them, mitochondrial SIRTs (SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5) are deacetylases located in mitochondria that regulate the acetylation levels of several key proteins to maintain mitochondrial function and redox homeostasis. Mitochondrial SIRTs are reported to have the Janus role in tumorigenesis, either tumor suppressive or oncogenic functions. Although the multi-faceted roles of mitochondrial SIRTs with tumor-type specificity in tumorigenesis, their critical functions have aroused a rising interest in discovering some small-molecule compounds, including inhibitors and activators for cancer therapy. Herein, we describe the molecular structures of mitochondrial SIRTs, focusing on elucidating their regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis, and further discuss the recent advances in developing their targeted small-molecule compounds for cancer therapy. Together, these findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the crucial roles of mitochondrial SIRTs in cancer and potential new therapeutic strategies.
