Research progress on sirtuins family members and cell senescence

摘要

Human aging is a phenomenon of gradual decline and loss of cell, tissue, organ and other functions under the action of external environment and internal factors. It is mainly related to genomic instability, telomere wear, mitochondrial dysfunction, protein balance disorder, antioxidant damage, microRNA expression disorder and so on. Sirtuins protein is a kind of deacetylase which can regulate cell metabolism and participate in a variety of cell physiological functions. It has been found that sirtuins family can prolong the lifespan of yeast. Sirtuins can inhibit human aging through many signaling pathways, including apoptosis signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, sirtuins signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway and so on. Based on this, this paper reviews the action principle of anti-aging star members of sirtuins family Sirt1, Sirt3 and Sirt6 on anti-aging related signaling pathways and typical compounds, in order to provide ideas for the screening of anti-aging compounds of sirtuins family members.
