RESUMO
Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) regulates the maintenance of genome integrity by targeting pathways of DNA damage response and homologous recombination repair. However, whether and how SIRT2 promotes base excision repair (BER) remain to be determined. Here, we found that independent of its catalytic activity SIRT2 interacted with the critical glycosylase OGG1 to promote OGG1 recruitment to its own promoter upon oxidative stress, thereby enhancing OGG1 promoter activity and increasing BER efficiency. Further studies revealed that SIRT2 was phosphorylated on S46 and S53 by ATM/ATR upon oxidative stress, and SIRT2 phosphorylation enhanced the SIRT2-OGG1 interaction and mediated the stimulatory effect of SIRT2 on OGG1 promoter activity. We also characterized 37 cancer-derived SIRT2 mutants and found that 5 exhibited the loss of the stimulatory effects on OGG1 transcription. Together, our data reveal that SIRT2 acts as a tumor suppressor by promoting OGG1 transcription and increasing BER efficiency in an ATM/ATR-dependent manner.

P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) plays an important role in modulating inflammation and fibrosis, but information is limited whether Zusanli (ST36) can inhibit inflammation and fibrosis by regulating P2X7R. Isoprenaline at 5 mg/kg was subcutaneously injected to wild-type and P2X7R knockout mice for 7 days, while treatment groups received electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation at ST36 for 7 sessions. Following 7-session treatment, Masson's trichrome staining was performed to assess the fibrosis. Morphology, electrocardiogram, and echocardiography were carried out to evaluate the cardiac function and structure. Western blotting, hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, and biochemical analysis of inflammatory cytokine and transmission electron microscopy were carried out to characterize the effect of ST36 on inflammation. P2X7R was overexpressed in ISO-treated mice. EA at ST36, but not at non-points, reduced ISO-induced cardiac fibrosis, increases in HW/BW, R+S wave relative to mice in ISO groups. In addition, EA at ST36 downregulated ISO-upregulated P2X7R and NLRP3 in ventricle. Moreover, EA reduced cytokines of IL-1ß, IL-6, and IL-18 in serum, and inhibited foam cell gathering, inflammatory cell infiltration, and autophagy. However, EA at ST36 failed to attenuate the cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in P2X7R knockout mice. In conclusion, EA at ST36 attenuated ISO-induced fibrosis possibly via P2X7R.
