Aging: A Sirtuin Shake-Up?
The yeast sirtuin (Sir2) is a histone deacetylase that modulates yeast replicative life span by suppressing genome instability through chromatin modification. In this issue, Oberdoerffer et al. (2008) report that SIRT1, the mammalian ortholog of Sir2, is involved in DNA damage-induced chromatin reorganization, which promotes genome stability in mammalian cells.
متن کاملThe sirtuin family's role in aging and age-associated pathologies.
The 7 mammalian sirtuin proteins compose a protective cavalry of enzymes that can be invoked by cells to aid in the defense against a vast array of stressors. The pathologies associated with aging, such as metabolic syndrome, neurodegeneration, and cancer, are either caused by or exacerbated by a lifetime of chronic stress. As such, the activation of sirtuin proteins could provide a therapeutic...
متن کاملSirtuin 3 in acute kidney injury
Twenty years of research and advances in pathophysiology have not yet translated into effective therapeutic tools for improving survival after an acute kidney injury (AKI) episode. AKI is a disease process characterised by rapidly decreasing renal excretory function, with accumulation of nitrogen metabolism and other waste products. AKI is a major public health concern with a rapidly increasing...
متن کاملCalorie restriction and NAD⁺/sirtuin counteract the hallmarks of aging.
Among diverse environmental factors that modify aging, diet has a profound effect. Calorie restriction (CR), which entails reduced calorie consumption without malnutrition, is the only natural regimen shown to extend maximum and mean lifespan, as well as healthspan in a wide range of organisms. Although the knowledge about the biological mechanisms underlying CR is still incipient, various appr...
متن کاملSirtuin 1 and Aging Theory for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory syndrome that represents an increasing health problem, especially in the elderly population. Drug therapies are symptomatic and inadequate to contrast disease progression and mortality. Thus, there is an urgent need to clarify the molecular mechanisms responsible for this condition in order to identify new biomarkers and therapeuti...
