Received: 10 June 2018; Accepted: 26 June 2018; Published: 29 June 2018 Abstract: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide+ (NAD+) dependent enzyme and stress response protein that has sparked the curiosity of many researchers in different branches of the biomedical sciences. A unique member of the known Sirtuin family, SIRT6 has several different functions in multiple different molecular pathways related to DNA repair, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, tumorigenesis, neurodegeneration, cardiac hypertrophic responses, and more. Only in recent times, however, did the potential usefulness of SIRT6 come to light as we learned more about its biochemical activity, regulation, biological roles, and structure Frye (2000). Even until very recently, SIRT6 was known more for chromatin signaling but, being a nascent topic of study, more information has been ascertained and its potential involvement in major human diseases including diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and heart disease. It is pivotal to explore the mechanistic workings

  • Sirtuins Transduce Stacs Signals Through Steroid Hormone Receptors Henry K
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sirtuins transduce STACs signals through steroid hormone receptors Henry K. Bayele SIRT1 protects against several complex metabolic and ageing-related diseases (MARDs), and is therefore considered a polypill target to improve healthy ageing. Although dietary sirtuin- activating compounds (dSTACs) including resveratrol are promising drug candidates, their clinical application has been frustrated by an imprecise understanding of how their signals are transduced into increased healthspan. Recent work indicates that SIRT1 and orthologous sirtuins coactivate the oestrogen receptor/ER and the worm steroid receptor DAF-12. Here they are further shown to ligand-independently transduce dSTACs signals through these receptors. While some dSTACs elicit ER subtype-selectivity in the presence of hormone, most synergize with 17β-oestradiol and dafachronic acid respectively to increase ER and DAF-12 coactivation by the sirtuins. These data suggest that dSTACs functionally mimic gonadal steroid hormones, enabling sirtuins to transduce the cognate signals through a conserved endocrine pathway. Interestingly, resveratrol non-monotonically modulates sirtuin signalling, suggesting that it may induce hormesis, i.e. “less is more”. Together, the fndings suggest that dSTACs may be informational molecules that use exploitative mimicry to modulate sirtuin signalling through steroid receptors. Hence dSTACs’ intrinsic oestrogenicity may underlie their proven ability to impart the health benefts of oestradiol, and also provides a mechanistic insight into how they extend healthspan or protect against MARDs. Among the seven human sirtuins, SIRT1 (silent information regulator 2 homologue 1) has received the most attention because of its many roles including gene regulation, genomic stability and energy metabolism1,2. SIRT1 is also of enormous interest as a viable drug target because it protects against several conditions including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases3,4.

  • Rapid Temporal Control of Foxp3 Protein Degradation by Sirtuin-1
    Rapid Temporal Control of Foxp3 Protein Degradation by Sirtuin-1 Jorg van Loosdregt1,2, Diede Brunen1,3, Veerle Fleskens1,3, Cornelieke E. G. M. Pals1,3, Eric W. F. Lam4, Paul J. Coffer1,2,3* 1 Department of Immunology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands, 2 Center for Molecular & Cellular Intervention, Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands, 3 Department of Cell Biology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands, 4 CR-UK Labs and Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom Abstract Maintenance of Foxp3 protein expression in regulatory T cells (Treg) is crucial for a balanced immune response. We have previously demonstrated that Foxp3 protein stability can be regulated through acetylation, however the specific mechanisms underlying this observation remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that SIRT1 a member of the lysine deacetylase Sirtuin (SIRT) family, but not the related SIRTs 2–7, co-localize with Foxp3 in the nucleus. Ectopic expression of SIRT1, but not SIRTs 2–7 results in decreased Foxp3 acetylation, while conversely inhibition of endogenous SIRT activity increased Foxp3 acetylation. We show that SIRT1 inhibition decreases Foxp3 poly-ubiquitination, thereby increasing Foxp3 protein levels. Co-transfection of SIRT1 with Foxp3 results in increased Foxp3 proteasomal degradation, while SIRT inhibition increases FOXP3 transcriptional activity in human Treg. Taken together, these data support a central role for SIRT1 in the regulation of Foxp3 protein levels and thereby in regulation of Treg suppressive capacity. Pharmacological modulation of SIRT1 activity in Treg may therefore provide a novel therapeutic strategy for controlling immune responses.

We have previously shown leucine (Leu) to activate Sirt1 by lowering its KM for Received 28 January 2016 NAD+, thereby amplifying the effects of other sirtuin activators and improving insulin Accepted 29 June 2016 sensitivity. Metformin (Met) converges on this pathway both indirectly (via AMPK) and by direct activation of Sirt1, and we recently found Leu to synergize with Met to improve insulin Keywords: sensitivity and glycemic control while achieving ~80% dose-reduction in diet-induced obese AMPK mice. Accordingly, we sought here to define the mechanism of this interaction. Sirt1 Methods. Muscle cells C2C12 and liver cells HepG2 were used to test the effect of Met–Leu on Insulin sensitivity Sirt1 activation. Caenorhabditis elegans was used for glucose utilization and life span studies. Leucine Results. Leu (0.5 mmol/L) + Met (50–100 μmol/L) synergistically activated Sirt1 (p < 0.001) at + Metformin low (≤100 μmol/L) NAD levels while Met exerted no independent effect. This was associated with an increase in AMPK and ACC, phosphorylation, and increased fatty acid oxidation, which was prevented by AMPK or Sirt inhibition or silencing. Met–Leu also increased P-IRS1/IRS1 and P-AKT/AKT and in insulin-independent glucose disposal in myotubes (~50%, p < 0.002) evident within 30 min as well as a 60% reduction in insulin EC50.
