Introduction

Full Name: Sirtuin 1 . SIRT1 is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacetylase belonging to the sirtuin family (class III HDAC). It exhibits both histone and non-histone substrates, and it participates in glucose metabolism, stress responses, DNA repair, the cell cycle, apoptosis, aging, cancer, differentiation and development (1-7).

Function and Interaction

SIRT1 is recruited to chromatin by transcription factors and then carries out its deacetylation function to repress gene transcription (8). SIRT1 interacts with ZEB1, which is an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-inducing transcription factor, thus regulating the EMT process (9). P53 is a well-known tumor repressor and acts as a non-histone substrate of SIRT1. SIRT1 inhibition can result in an increase in P53 acetylation and promotion of its transcriptional activity in CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia) progenitors, thereby decreasing the number of CML leukemia stem cells (10-11). SIRT1 is capable of maintaining the identity of hematopoietic stem cells through ROS and p53 repression and FOXO activation, and deletion of SIRT1 can lead to the formation of cholesterol gallstones (12-13). SIRT1 overexpression reduces the level of acetylation on the NF-κBas p65 subunit, decreasing cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity and suggesting this factor as a potential pharmaceutical target for the treatment of inflammatory injuries (14).

Disease Association

SIRT1 is a potential candidate for targeting in prostate cancer treatment, as its overexpression can reverse EMT and prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells (9). Furthermore, SIRT1 overexpression can decrease cell proliferation and tumor formation in colon cancer, and SIRT1 is also overexpressed in CML cells (11,15).
