SIRT6 Depletion Suppresses Tumor Growth by Promoting Cellular Senescence Induced by DNA Damage in HCC

Abstract: The role of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in liver cancer remains controversial. Thus, we identified the specific role of SIRT6 in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). SIRT6 expression was significantly higher in HCC cell lines and HCC tissues from 138 patients than in an immortalized hepatocyte cell line, THLE-2 and non-tumor tissues, respectively. SIRT6 knockdown by shRNA suppressed the growth of HCC cells and inhibited HCC tumor growth in vivo. In addition, SIRT6 silencin… Show more

“…Furthermore, SIRT6 was underexpressed and was negatively correlated with miR-33a expression in the glioma specimens. In contrast, upregulation of SIRT6 was reported in NSCLC and HCC (30,31), which was consistent with the downregulation of miR-33a in these cancers (9,12). All these data suggest an inverse correlation between miR-33a and SIRT6 expression.…”

“…But Marquardt et al reported that overexpression of SIRT6 did not lead to a change in cell proliferation [ 12 ]. On the contrary, Lee et al reported that SIRT6 knockdown by shRNA suppressed the growth of HCC cells (Huh7, SNU475 and SNU449) [ 17 ]. Ran et al reported that depletion of SIRT6 inhibited the growth of liver cancer cell lines (PLC/PRF/5, SMMC-7721, Huh-7 and SK-Hep-1) [ 18 ].…”

“…However, other two studies reported opposite results. Lee et al reported that SIRT6 depletion reduced colony formation of HCC cells in soft agar and tumor growth in xenograft mouse model [ 17 ]. Feng et al reported that upregulation of SIRT6 was required for TGF-β1/H 2 O 2 /HOCl to promote the tumorigenicity of HCC cells owing to that suppression of SIRT6 expression could abrogate the promoting effects of TGF-β1/H 2 O 2 /HOCl on the tumorigenicity of HCC cells [ 23 ].…”

“…Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assays were conducted as described previously (Lee et al, 2016). After overnight starvation, the infected or/and transfected cells were pulsed with 10 mM BrdU (Sigma, St Louis, Mo, USA) for 10 h. The cells were then fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and treated with 2 M HCl containing 1% Triton X-100.…”
