ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular diseases ( CVDs ) are the leading cause of death worldwide and pose a serious threat to human health. Silent information regulator 5 ( SIRT5 ) , which is widely distributed in cardiac myocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells,as a novel deacylation-modifying enzyme,plays an important role in CVDs through deacetylation, desuccinylation and demalonylation. This review summarizes the pathophysiolog-ical mechanism of SIRT5 from the aspects of energy metabolism, regulation of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, apart from the role of SIRT5 in CVDs such as myocardial infarction, myocardial hypertrophy, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis and heart failure. This review also figures out the current research progress of SIRT5 -related inhibitors and agonists, so as to provide strategies for targeting SIRT5 to prevent and treat CVDs.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the therapeutic molecular mechanism of the warm-hot drugs treating cold syndrome.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>A brother and his sister with deficiency-cold syndrome were chosen and treated with appropriate Chinese formula consisted chiefly of warm-hot drugs for 45 days. Then microarray technique was applied for comparing the gene expression difference of sister who had significant effect, the data was dialed with multiple analysis method and the results were mined though gene function and pathway.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>276 differential genes were obtained, which were related to metabolism and 18 pathways.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Warm-hot drugs work on the gene expression of metabolism. It may be exerting the curative action by gene network and there is distinct difference between gene expression of curative effect and syndrome.</p>
