Similarly, SIRT2 is also involved in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, another devastating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. Studies suggest that the inhibition of SIRT2 can reduce tau accumulation and alleviate cognitive deficits in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease, pointing towards a potential role of SIRT2-targeted therapies in managing Alzheimer’s disease. | Similarly, SIRT2 is also involved in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, another devastating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain.

SIRT2 has a complex role in cancer, acting both as a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter depending on the cellular context and cancer type. It is involved in the regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, and metabolic pathways, affecting cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Given its dual role, the development of SIRT2-targeted therapies requires careful consideration and understanding of its diverse functions in cancer biology, emphasizing the need for more research in this area. | SIRT2 has a complex role in cancer, acting both as a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter depending on the cellular context and cancer type.

SIRT2 also participates in the regulation of inflammatory responses. It modulates the activity of NF-kB, a critical regulator of inflammation, impacting the expression of inflammatory genes. Altered SIRT2 activity is linked to various inflammatory conditions, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for the management of inflammatory diseases. Identifying the mechanisms by which SIRT2 regulates inflammatory responses is vital for developing targeted interventions for inflammatory diseases. | SIRT2 also participates in the regulation of inflammatory responses.
