Abstract

Sirtuins are known to protect cells and extend life span, but our previous studies indicated that S. cerevisiae Sir2 can also increase stress sensitivity and limit life-span extension. Here we provide evidence for a role of the mammalian Sir2 ortholog SirT1 in the sensitization of neurons to oxidative damage. SirT1 inhibition increased acetylation and decreased phosphorylation of IRS-2; it also reduced activation of the Ras/ERK1/2 pathway, suggesting that SirT1 may enhance IGF-I signaling in part by deacetylating IRS-2. Either the inhibition of SirT1 or of Ras/ERK1/2 was associated with resistance to oxidative damage. Markers of oxidized proteins and lipids were reduced in the brain of old SirT1-deficient mice, but the life span of the homozygote knockout mice was reduced under both normal and calorie-restricted conditions. These results are consistent with findings in S. cerevisiae and other model systems, suggesting that mammalian sirtuins can play both protective and proaging roles.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SIRT1 has been implicated in promoting oxidative stress through IRS-2/Ras/ERK signaling downstream of insulin/IGF-1 receptors.

    “In contrast, SIRT1 has been implicated in promoting oxidative stress through IRS-2/Ras/ERK signaling downstream of insulin/IGF-1 receptors [203].”

  • Sirt1 knockout mice show less oxidative stress and more neuroprotection in the ageing brain, yet their lifespan is shortened.

    “By contrast, SIRT1 may also have some detrimental effects, as Sirt1 knockout mice show reduced oxidative stress and increased neuroprotection in the ageing brain even though lifespan is shortened (89).”

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.
