Project description:Sirtuin proteins regulate diverse cellular pathways that influence genomic stability, metabolism, and ageing. SIRT7 is a mammalian sirtuin whose biochemical activity, molecular targets, and physiologic functions have been unclear. Here we show that SIRT7 is an NAD+-dependent, histone H3 acetyl-lysine 18 (H3K18Ac) deacetylase that stabilizes the transformed state of cancer cells. Genome-wide binding studies reveal that SIRT7 binds to promoters of a specific set of gene targets, where it deacetylates H3K18Ac and promotes transcriptional repression. The spectrum of SIRT7 target genes is defined in part by interaction of SIRT7 with the cancer-related ETS transcription factor ELK4, and comprises numerous genes with links to tumour suppression. Notably, selective hypoacetylation of H3K18Ac has recently been linked to oncogenic transformation, and in patients, is associated with aggressive tumour phenotypes and poor prognosis. We find that deacetylation of H3K18Ac by SIRT7 is necessary for maintaining essential features of human cancer cells including anchorage independent growth and escape from contact inhibition. Moreover, SIRT7 is necessary for a global hypoacetylation of H3K18Ac associated with cellular transformation by viral oncoproteins. Finally, SIRT7 depletion markedly reduces the tumourigenicity of human cancer cell xenografts in mice. Together, our work establishes SIRT7 as the first known site-specific H3K18Ac deacetylase and demonstrates a pivotal role for SIRT7 in chromatin regulation, cellular transformation programs, and tumour formation in vivo. SIRT7 ChIP-seq was performed in K562 cell lines under normal conditions. Two replicates were performed for both the SIRT7 ChIP as well as input control.

Project description:Reproductive aging is an increasing health concern affecting family planning and overall well-being. While extensively studied in females, the mechanisms driving male reproductive aging remain largely unexamined. Here we found that mammalian Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) sustains spermatogenesis in an age-dependent manner through the control of histone 3 lysine 36 acetylation (H3K36ac). SIRT7 deficiency in mice resulted in increased levels of H3K36ac in spermatogonia and spermatocytes, a pattern also observed during natural testicular aging. SIRT7 deficiency altered chromatin accessibility, which was directly linked to H3K36ac activity in a germ cell line, and increased vulnerability to genotoxic stress. Importantly, undifferentiated spermatogonia, which are required for continuous sperm production, decreased prematurely in Sirt7-/- mice and showed enhanced genome damage accumulation during aging or under acute environmental stress. These changes were concurrent with age-dependent defects in double strand break (DBS) repair and partial meiotic arrest. Taken together, our results indicate that SIRT7 connects H3K36ac epigenetic regulation to long-term genome stability in male germ cells, ensuring steady-state spermatogenesis during the lengthy male reproductive lifespan.

Project description:SIRT7 is a member of the mammalian sirtuin family of NAD+ dependent deacylases, and interacts with RNA polymerase I and UBF to regulate rDNA transcription. Various studies in mammalian cells and human clinical data have linked SIRT7 to cancer. However studies differ as to whether SIRT7 is oncogenic or tumor suppressive. Here we analyzed SIRT7 knockout mice and found SIRT7 deficiency caused sub-Mendelian birth numbers and a reduction in body size. Moreover, at 18 month of age, roughly 60 % of the SIRT7 knockout mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in many cases leading to suspected metastasis. Several HCC associated genes were up-regulated in livers of mice as young as 6 months of age, particularly targets of the proto-oncogene, c- MYC. Indeed SIRT7 interacts with MYC at endogenous protein levels and also represses MYC activity. Our findings thus show that SIRT7 acts as a tumor suppressor in vivo, and may suggest novel strategies to treat liver cancer.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) senescence contributes to the imbalance of tissue homeostasis during aging. However, the connection between Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) and hMSC homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we discovered a pivotal role of SIRT7 in protecting hMSC from senescence. We detected a decreased expression of SIRT7 during hMSC aging, while overexpression of which reversed premature hMSC senescence phenotypes. Mechanistically, we proved SIRT7 as a novel interacting protein of the heterochromatin complex, whose deficiency disrupted heterochromatin organization, thereby contributing to the derepression of the retrotransposon Long Interspersed Element 1 (LINE1 or L1). SIRT7-deficient hMSCs accumulated LINE1 in cytoplasm stimulating innate immune response by activated the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and its downstream signaling effector stimulator of interferon genes (STING). Moreover, reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (RTis), such as Lamivudine (3TC), attenuated these senescence phenotypes of SIRT7-deficient hMSCs. Taken together, our findings identify SIRT7-heterochromatin via LINE1-cGAS/STING influence innate immune response, which contributes more comprehensive understanding of the physiological and function of SIRT7 and help us to find novel targets for the treatment of aging and aging relative diseases.

Project description:SIRT7 is a member of the mammalian sirtuin family and functions as a NAD+-dependent deacylase. Studies in culture cells and human clinical data have implicated the role of SIRT7 in tumorigenesis. However, controversies were raised as to whether SIRT7 is oncogenic or tumor suppressive. Here we show that SIRT7 deficiency led to aneuploidy and aging-phenotypes, including senescence and nucleolin expansion. SIRT7 knockout mice were susceptible to DSS-induced colitis and alcohol-derived DNA damage, in advance led to intestinal epithelial barrier disruption. Devoid of SIRT7 aggravated the susceptibility of colorectal cancer incidence in APCMin/+ mouse model with further dysregulated Wnt signaling. Our findings indicated a tumor suppressive role of SIRT7 in vivo, novel strategies design for activating SIRT7 in treating colon cancer may be reappraised.

Project description:Long interspersed elements-1 (LINE-1, L1) are retrotransposons that hold the capacity of selfpropagation in the genome with potential mutagenic outcomes. How somatic cells restrict L1 activity and how this process becomes dysfunctional during aging and in cancer cells is poorly understood. L1s are enriched at lamin associated domains, heterochromatic regions of the nuclear periphery. Whether this association is necessary for their repression has been elusive. Here we show that the sirtuin family member SIRT7 participates in the epigenetic transcriptional repression of L1 genome-wide in both mouse and human cells. SIRT7 depletion leads to increased L1 expression and retrotransposition. Mechanistically, we identify a novel interplay between SIRT7 and Lamin A/C in L1 repression. Our results demonstrate that SIRT7-mediated H3K18 deacetylation regulates L1 expression by promoting L1 association with elements of the nuclear lamina. The failure of such activity might contribute to the observed genome instability and compromised viability in SIRT7 knockout mice. Overall, our results reveal a novel function of SIRT7 on chromatin organization by mediating the anchoring of L1 to the nuclear envelope, and a new mechanism by which the nuclear lamina maintains genome integrity.

Project description:Sirtuins are key players in the response to oxidative, metabolic and genotoxic stress, and are involved in genome stability, metabolic homeostasis and aging. Originally described as NAD+-dependent deacetylases, some sirtuins are also characterized by poorly understood mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (MADPRT) activity. Here we report that the deacetylase SirT7 is a dual sirtuin as it also features auto-MADPRT activity. Molecular and structural evidence suggests that this novel activity occurs at a second previously undefined active site that is physically separated in another domain. Specific abrogation of this activity alters SirT7 chromatin distribution, suggesting a role for this modification in SirT7 chromatin binding specificity and localization. Our studies uncover an epigenetic pathway by which ADP-ribosyl-SirT7 is recognized by the ADP-ribose reader macroH2A1.1, a histone variant involved in chromatin organization, metabolism and differentiation. Glucose starvation (GS) boosts this interaction and promotes SirT7 re-localization intergenic regions in a macroH2A1-dependent manner, which is required for specific up- or downregulation of a subset of nearby genes upon GS in primary cells and in vivo in the livers of calorie-restricted (CR) Wt and SirT7-/- mice. The level of expression of these genes decreases with age in SirT7-deficient mice, reinforcing the link between Sirtuins, CR and aging. Our work provides a novel perspective about sirtuin duality and suggests a key role for SirT7/macroH2A1.1 axis in mammalian glucose homeostasis, calorie restriction signaling and aging.
