The mitochondrial deacetylase SIRT3 plays a pivotal role in the initiation and the progression of certain cancers acting as an oncogene. However, in others it acts anti-oncogenically. Its conflicting action is possibly due to the different key proteins it modifies depending on the context of active intracellular signaling pathways in different cancers. SIRT3 is thus a novel target for preventing and treating cancer. In the present study, we explored the function of SIRT3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the aim of elucidating the underlying mechanisms. We first determined the SIRT3 expression levels by real-time PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays of paired samples of NSCLC tissue and adjacent normal tissue from 70 patients with associated clinicopathological data. Levels of SIRT3 protein and mRNA were significantly increased in NSCLC tissue, compared with normal tissue (P
