Mechanism of SIRT1 acting on tumor formation / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase,involved in many physiological processes,such as cell aging,apoptosis and differentiation.Recent studies have shown that SIRT1 plays a significant role in tumor formation and progression.It deacetylates a wide range of histone and non-histone substrates and regulates gene expression and protein activity that are associated with neoplastic apoptosis and proliferation.
