What is SIRT6 protein?

SIRT6 (sirtuin 6) gene is a protein coding gene which situated on the short arm of chromosome 19 at locus 19p13. SIRT6 is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins which are homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Sirtuin family contain a sirtuin core domain and are grouped into four classes with SIRT6 being a member of class IV. Human SIRT6 protein is a NAD (+)-dependent histone H3 lysine-9 deacetylase that modulates telomeric chromatin. The SIRT6 protein is consisted of 355 amino acids and its molecular mass is approximately 39.1 kDa.

What is the function of SIRT6 protein?

SIRT6 protein is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent deacetylase, which is involved in many biological processes. The main functions of SIRT6 in cells include regulation of metabolism, anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. SIRT6 is involved in the regulation of glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism. SIRT6 protects cells from oxidative stress by regulating the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes. SIRT6 inhibits inflammatory response and reduces the occurrence and development of inflammatory diseases. SIRT6 can inhibit apoptosis and maintain tissue homeostasis by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related genes.

SIRT6 Related Signaling Pathway

As an important epigenetic regulator, SIRT6 protein is involved in regulating many signaling pathways. Including: NF-κB signaling pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway and so on. Among them, SIRT6 affects the activity of Wnt signaling pathway through deacetylation of β-catenin, and then regulates cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. In addition, SIRT6 can also regulate AMPK, IGF-1/mTORC1, p53 and other signaling molecules, thereby regulating related signaling pathways.

SIRT6 Related Diseases

1. Neurodegenerative diseases: SIRT6 plays a protective role in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.

2. Tumor: SIRT6 plays a dual role in tumor genesis and development. On the one hand, SIRT6 plays an anti-tumor role by inhibiting the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. SIRT6, on the other hand, promotes tumor growth and drug resistance by regulating tumor cell metabolism and sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs.

3. Cardiovascular diseases: SIRT6 affects the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases by regulating the energy metabolism of cardiomyocytes, anti-oxidative stress and autophagy. Other related diseases include diabetes, inflammatory diseases and metabolic diseases.

Bioapplications of SIRT6

SIRT6 plays an important role in cell aging and life span regulation. Researchers are exploring ways to delay the aging process and improve quality of life and longevity by activating SIRT6. In addition, given its role in a number of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, cardiovascular diseases, it is also being explored as a therapeutic target for drug therapy.

Case study 1: Cristina Andreani, 2023

The histone deacetylase sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) has been endowed with anti-cancer capabilities in many tumor types. Here, the researchers investigate the impact of SIRT6-overexpression (SIRT6-OE) in Delta16HER2 mice, which are a bona fide model of HER2-positive breast cancer. ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and RT-PCR experiments indicate that SIRT6-OE represses the expression of the T-box transcription factor 3 (Tbx3) by deacetylation of H3K9ac.

This work indicates that high levels of SIRT6 are indicative of poor prognosis and high risk of metastasis in HER2-positive breast cancer and suggests further investigation of TBX3 as a downstream target of SIRT6 and co-marker of poor-prognosis. The results point to a breast cancer subtype-specific effect of SIRT6 and warrant future studies dissecting the mechanisms of SIRT6 regulation in different breast cancer subtypes.

Case study 2: Michaela E Copp, 2023

While advanced age is widely recognized as the greatest risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), the biological mechanisms behind this connection remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a decline in DNA repair efficiency is one explanation for the accumulation of DNA damage with age, and to quantify the improvement in repair with activation of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6). After acute damage with irradiation, DNA repair was shown to be more efficient in chondrocytes from young (≤45 years old) as compared to middle-aged (50-65 years old) or older (>70 years old) cadaveric donors. Activation of SIRT6 with MDL-800 improved the repair efficiency, while inhibition with EX-527 reduced the rate of repair and increased the percentage of cells that retain high levels of damage.
