Associations of Sirt1 with chemical compounds

  • Pancreatic perfusion experiments further demonstrate that Sirt1 enhances insulin secretion in response to glucose and KCl [9].
  • Treatment with the plant polyphenol resveratrol as well as isonicotinamide, both of which activate Sirt1, blocked adipocyte development and increased the expression of osteoblast markers [10].
  • Furthermore, activation of Sirt1 prevented the increase in adipocytes caused by the PPARgamma-agonist troglitazone [10].
  • Sir2 family deacetylases, which regulate acetyl-coenzyme A synthesis, have recently been shown to impart longevity in a variety of organisms through a pathway related to calorie restriction [11].
  • This type of cell death was blocked by repletion of cellular NAD levels as well as by activation of the longevity factor Sir2alpha deacetylase, indicating that PARP induction and subsequent depletion of NAD levels are the sequence of events causing angiotensin II-mediated cardiomyocyte cell death [12].
 

Physical interactions of Sirt1

  • Here, we show that mammalian Sir2alpha physically interacts with p53 and attenuates p53-mediated functions [5].
 

Other interactions of Sirt1

  • These findings suggest that NAD biosynthesis mediated by Nampt regulates the function of Sir2alpha and thereby plays an important role in controlling various biological events in mammals [6].
  • Our findings establish Foxo1 as a direct and functional target for Sir2 in mammalian systems [13].
  • Thus, our findings implicate a p53 regulatory pathway mediated by mammalian Sir2alpha [5].
  • Predominant expression of Sir2alpha, an NAD-dependent histone deacetylase, in the embryonic mouse heart and brain [7].
  • Sir2 is recruited to insulin response sequence-containing promoter and increases the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase and p27(kip1) in a deacetylase-activity-dependent manner [13].
