Abstract

Summary In lower eukaryotes, Sir2 serves as a histone deacetylase and is implicated in chromatin silencing, longevity and genome stability. Here we mutated the SIRT1 gene, a homolog of yeast Sir2, in mice to study its function. We showed that a majority of SIRT1-null embryos died between E9.5–E14.5, displaying altered histone modification, impaired DNA damage response, and reduced ability to repair DNA damage. We demonstrated that SIRT1+/−;p53+/− mice developed tumors in multiple tissues, whereas activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol treatment reduced tumorigenesis. Finally, we showed that many human cancers exhibited reduced level of SIRT1 than their normal controls. Thus, SIRT1 acts as a tumor suppressor through its role in DNA damage response, genome integrity, and tumor suppression. Significance SIRT1 has diverse roles in various biological processes, including caloric restriction that causes changes in glucose metabolism and lifespan. The role of SIRT1 in cancer is currently under debate due to some recent different findings. It is known that calorie restriction, which activates SIRT1, extends lifespan and inhibits tumorigenesis. On the other hand, SIRT1 deacetylates p53 to decrease its activity. It was therefore hypothesized increased SIRT1 activity, although it extends lifespan, may elevate cancer risk. Here we demonstrate SIRT1 plays an important role in DNA damage response and genome integrity by maintaining proper chromatin structure and DNA damage repair foci formation. We further show that SIRT1 serves as a tumor suppressor in mice and in some types of human cancers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
