Sirt1 promotes fat mobilization in white adipocytes by repressing PPAR-γ

Abstract: Calorie restriction extends lifespan in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. In yeast, the SIR2 gene mediates the life-extending effects of calorie restriction. Here we show that the mammalian SIR2 orthologue, Sirt1 (sirtuin 1), activates a critical component of calorie restriction in mammals; that is, fat mobilization in white adipocytes. Upon food withdrawal Sirt1 protein binds to and represses genes controlled by the fat regulator PPAR-gamma (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma), including … Show more

“…Under low nutrient conditions, up-regulation of SIRT1 promotes hepatic glucose production through interaction and deacetylation of PGC-1␣ (28). Other groups have shown that SIRT1 represses peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ␥ (PPAR␥) function, increasing lipolysis in white adipose tissue and insulin secretion in pancreatic ␤-cells (29)(30)(31). Interestingly, a nutrient connection to SIRT1 has been previously established in lower eukaryotes, including yeast (32), worms (33), and flies (34).…”

“…Transcriptional repression mediated by the SMRT͞NCoR complex has been found to be important in the regulation of both development and metabolism (8,9), with NCoR null mice exhibiting impaired erythrocyte, thymocyte, and CNS development (10). The repression activity of the SMRT͞NCoR complex is thought to result from the direct or indirect recruitment of three classes of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, including HDAC1, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7, and SIRT1 (4,6,9,(11)(12)(13)(14). The removal of acetyl groups on the N-terminal tails of histone proteins by these deacetylases is associated with the formation of a repressive chromatin structure in which the accessibility of the DNA template is restricted (15).…”
