Mitochondria are pivotal for energy regulation and are linked to cancer. Mitochondrial sirtuins, (Sirtuin) SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5, play crucial roles in cancer metabolism. This review explores their impact on cellular processes, with a focus on the NAD+ interplay and the modulation of their enzymatic activities. The varied roles of SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 in metabolic adaptation and cancer are outlined, emphasizing their tumor suppressor or oncogenic nature. We propose new insights into sirtuin biology, and cancer therapeutics, suggesting an integrated proteomics and metabolomics approach for a comprehensive understanding of mitochondrial sirtuins in cancer.
