Predominant expression of Sir2α, an NAD‐dependent histone deacetylase, in the embryonic mouse heart and brain1
Abstract
Sir2 is an NAD‐dependent histone deacetylase that functions in longevity, gene silencing, heterochromatin formation, DNA repair, and suppression of DNA recombination in yeast. The mammalian homolog Sir2α (SIRT1) has been shown to inhibit p53‐dependent apoptosis, but its physiological roles are still not known. We found that the level of Sir2α expression during embryogenesis was high. The highest Sir2α mRNA expression was detected as early as embryonic day (E) 4.5. Although the level was down‐regulated during embryogenesis, a high level of expression was still found in the late embryonic stage (E18.5). In embryos, Sir2α was expressed at high levels in the heart, brain, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia. The expression levels in these organs were high on E10.5–E13.5 and low on E16.5. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction showed a 60% reduction in Sir2α mRNA content in the heart between E12.5 and E14.5. After E14.5, the expression level in the heart remained constant up to 27 months of age. The expression pattern of Sir2α protein in embryonic hearts was consistent with that of mRNA. These results suggest new roles of Sir2α not only in early embryogenesis but also in cardiogenesis and neurogenesis with a stage‐specific manner.

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.
