Sirtuins belong to the class III family of NAD-dependent histone deacetylases (HDAC) and are involved in diverse physiological processes that range from regulation of metabolism and endocrine function to coordination of immunity and cellular responses to stress. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is the most well-studied family member and has been shown to be critically involved in epigenetics, immunology, and endocrinology. The versatile roles of SIRT1 include regulation of energy sensing metabolic homeostasis, deacetylation of histone and non-histone proteins in numerous tissues, neuro-endocrine regulation via stimulation of hypothalamus-pituitary axes, synthesis and maintenance of reproductive hormones via steroidogenesis, maintenance of innate and adaptive immune system via regulation of T- and B-cell maturation, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Moreover, SIRT1 is an appealing target in various disease contexts due to the promise of pharmacological and/or natural modulators of SIRT1 activity within the context of endocrine and immune-related disease models. In this review we aim to provide a broad overview on the role of SIRT1 particularly within the context of endocrinology and immunology.

Aim: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) offer significant cardiorenal benefits for people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D). However, concerns remain regarding their association with diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA). (1) To compare demographics, precipitating factors, biochemical features, management, and outcomes of acute DKA admissions between SGLT2i users (n = 267) and non-users (n = 793) with T2D.

Background: Co-infections of and can significantly increase morbidity and mortality. However, the effect of co-existence on virulence factor secretion and pro-inflammatory effects remain elusive.
Methods: We systematically investigated the virulence factors released by and under different culturing conditions using proteomics.

Immune cell metabolism is essential for regulating immune responses, including activation, differentiation, and function. Through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), metabolism supplies energy and key intermediates for cell growth and proliferation. Importantly, some metabolites generated during these processes act as signaling molecules that influence immune activity.

Objective: Patients with acute pancreatitis show reduced gut microbiome diversity and high abundance of pathogenic bacteria compared with healthy subjects. Admission microbiome profiles are increasingly linked to severity, but methodology and study quality hamper interpretation. Our aim was to investigate whether admission microbiome analysis provides robust and reproducible associations with severity and complications of acute pancreatitis.

Aims: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. While T cells are well-known critical, growing evidence shows that B cells also play a key role in T1D development. T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT), as an inhibitory immune checkpoint, is important in maintaining immune homeostasis and has become a therapeutic target for several autoimmune diseases.
