Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Efficacy of stem cell therapy is considerably influenced by oxidative stress. Sirtuin (SIRT) family of mammals is an important deacetylation and antioxidant enzyme that can regulate endogenous antioxidant activities in stem cells and cell cycle related signaling pathways to reduce the damage and enhance the viability of stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To review the regulating function and mechanism of SIRT family.
METHODS: A computer-based search of Web of Science, PubMed and CNKI from 1990 to 2015 was performed for relevant articles about SIRT and stem cell oxidative stress, using the key words of “SIRT, stem cell, oxidative stress, molecular mechanisms” in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating literatures which have poor authority or have similar contents, 55 articles were involved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: NAD+-dependent SIRT family is the key enzyme for deacetylation of histones and other proteins. It plays vital regulation roles in metabolism, genomic stability, DNA damage/repair, and chromatin remodeling/stress reaction. Progress in the SIRT-targeted stem cell research will definitely provide more clues for clinical stem cell transplantation therapy.
