Sirtuins are NAD+- dependent proteins which remove molecular tags from other proteins involved in DNA expression.

Functions of sirtuins in mammals

The functions of sirtuins play key roles in metabolism, inflammation, DNA repair, insulin secretion, and aging. In general, through removing these molecular tags, sirtuins suppress DNA expression, promote chromosome stability and regulate cellular health.

Types of sirtuins in mammals

Mammals have seven different sirtuins. Of these, five sirtuins play a critical function in aging: SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT6, SIRT7

SIRT1

Main article: SIRT1

SIRT1, the most studied of the sirtuins family, could play an important role in aging. Mice with an extra copy of the SIRT1 gene produces higher levels of SIRT1 proteins in cells, resulting in lower levels of DNA damage. These mice also have lower levels of "p16," a protein that serves as a marker of aging.[2] SIRT1 suppresses the activity of genes associated with aging. However, the levels of the protein drops in cells as organisms age, reactivating the aging-related genes.[3] SIRT1 levels also decrease with age in liver cells, mostly due to lower NAD+ availability.[4] DNA damage occurs with falling SIRT1 levels.

SIRT1 plays a pivotal role in early development as well. In mice without SIRT1, only 20% reach maturity.[5] The mice without SIRT1 are sterile, smaller than normal, and develop slower compared to normal mice.[6]

Located in the nucleus of cells and outside the nucleus, the cytoplasm, SIRT1 suppresses gene activity with stabilizing the organization of DNA, the chromatin structure. SIRT1 also functions to promote DNA repair at damaged regions of DNA.[1]

SIRT2

SIRT2 levels may be a marker of obesity. In obese individuals, the levels of the protein drops in fat tissue.[7] In mice undergoing calorie restriction, SIRT2 levels increase in white fat tissue and kidneys.[8]

SIRT2 can also serve as a marker of cellular aging, also termed "cellular senescence." It was shown levels of SIRT2 increased in senescent cells. This effect was attributed to the occurrence of aging, senescence, rather than constituting a cause of aging[9]

SIRT3

Evidence suggests that SIRT3 plays a role in human longevity.[10] A particular gene marker in the SIRT3 gene, a polymorphism, is found more often in people who live longer.[11] Mice lacking SIRT3 have decreased oxygen consumption and increased markers of cellular stress, reactive oxygen species.[12]

SIRT6

Research using mice lacking SIRT6 provide the first evidence that sirtuins are involved in regulating mammalian aging. With reduced levels of SIRT6, mice fail to reach a normal lifespan.[13] Three weeks after birth, these mice exhibit premature aging and degeneration, which results in death around the fourth week of life.[14] Mice without SIRT6 are also smaller than ‘normal’ individuals.

SIRT6 also plays a role in maintaining genome stability thereby suppressing gene activity, along with SIRT1 and SIRT7.[15]

SIRT6 plays a role in cellular aging, or senescence, through regulating genes involved in cellular aging.[15]

SIRT7

Mice lacking SIRT7 age prematurely and have heart complications, lethal heart hypertrophy.[16]

SIRT7 plays a role in maintaining genome stability by suppressing gene activity, along with SIRt1 and SIRT6.[17]

Research

Aging

Research on aging indicates sirtuins are essential factors for delaying cell cellular senescence, deterioration with age. Scientists consider cellular senescence as a beneficial process to inhibit the accumulation of abnormal cells in young organisms caused by stress. Such accumulation of abnormal cells is detrimental to older organisms and thought to induce age-related diseases. Additionally, senescent cells increase with aging <refr>(Krtolica and Campisi, 2002; Lee et al., 2019)</ref>.

Two sirtuins have been investigated in mammals with protective effects from senescence, SIRT1 and SIRT6. Levels of these two irtuins are reported to decrease in senescent cell lines of mice.[18] Reducing SIRT1 and SIRT6's function using molecular inhibitors, siRNA or miRNA, promotes early senescence characteristics in endothelial cells located at the interior of blood vessels.[19] Increasing SIRT1 and SIRT6 gene expression through over-expression suppresses cellular senescence.[20] Altogether, research indicates sirtuins play significant roles in cellular aging.

Suppression of age-caused cellular deterioration with sirtuins stems from two key processes in maintaining DNA integrity -- preventing telomere degradation and promoting DNA damage repair. Telomeres are protective caps that sit on the end of the DNA strands but these caps shorten and fray as cellular senescence occur as one age. Telomere elongation is necessary to avoid premature cellular senescence. SIRT1 and SIRT6 have known roles in regulating telomere reverse transcriptase expression, an enzyme necessary for telomere elongation.[21] SIRT1 and SIRT6 also remove acetyl groups from proteins called histones, the mechanism is also known as deacetylation. DNA wraps around histones for DNA stability. Through deacetylating histones at histone 3 lysine 9 and histone 3 lysine 56, the integrity of telomeres increases along with general DNA integrity.[22] Additionally, research indicates SIRT1 and SIRT6 are recruited to damaged DNA sites. The proteins then promote DNA repair through deacetylating repair proteins such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1, Ku70, NBS, and Werner (WRN) helicase [23].

In addition to roles in maintaining DNA integrity and repairing damaged sites of DNA to preventing cellular senescence, sirtuins regulate lifespan in several animals. Increased levels of the sirtuin gene, SIR2, in yeast extends its lifespan. The equivalent gene in found in other animals such as roundworms, fruit flies, and mice, also extends their lifespan.[24] The first study of the longevity enhancing effects of SIR2 occurred approximately 20 years ago in yeast.[25] Follow-up investigations examined effects of Sir2 enhancement in other organisms. Increasing sir2.1expression levels by 7-fold in roundworms extended the lifespan of the worms by 14.8-50.5%. [26] Furthermore, a mutation resulting in reduced expression of the sir2.1 gene resulted in decreased lifespan of roundworms. In fruit flies, inducing over expressing the dSir2 gene in neuronal cells or fat cells extended lifespan approximately by 52% and 32.2%, respectively. [27] Mice over-expressing SIRT1 in the brain, more specifically in the hypothalamus, had an increased median lifespan of 16% in females and 9% in males.[28]

Dietary activators of sirtuins

Dietary ingredients, functional foods, and nutraceuticals provide great hope for promoting health span and longevity, along with preventing age-related diseases.[29] Sirtuin-activating compounds derived from plants include flavones, stilbenes, chalcones, and anthocyanidins can directly activate SIRT1.[30] Other agents reported to have anti-aging effects through modulating the SIRT1 cellular pathway include resveratrol,[31] cilostazol,[32] paeonol,[33] statins,[34] hydrogen sulfide,[35] and persimmon.[36] Polyphenols, including curcumin, can also modulate sirtuins.[37] The most well-described and recognized natural compound stimulating SIRT1 is resveratrol. Activating SIRT1 with resveratrol supplementation increases lifespan and improves healthspan of several species.[38] Natural anti-aging compounds also include quercetin, butein, fisetin, kaempferol, catechins, and proanthocyanidins.[39] Some traditional Chinese medicines have natural compounds with potent SIRT1-activating effects.[40] Activating sirtuins through the regulation of NAD+ levels offers an alternative method of stimulating sirtuin function.

The use of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-boosting molecules, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR), also constitute a way to improve sirtuin function. Since the actions of sirtuins depend on availability of NAD+ and since NAD+ levels decrease with age, some have started taking NMN and NR to boost sirtuin function by increasing NAD+ levels.

Functional food is a promising method for anti-aging interventions. Modulating SIRT1 function through consumption of these foods and dietary ingredients could represent a new way of counteracting the effects of aging. Some of these functional foods include green vegetables, soy foods such as tofu, green tea, olive oil, and turmeric.
