PG - 107926 LID - S1567-5769(21)00562-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107926 [doi] AB - Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation plays a pivotal role in Atherosclerosis. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a member of NAD(+)-dependent protein lysine deacylases of the sirtuin family, plays an important role in the regulation of metabolism, aging and stress resistance. However, the role of SIRT6 in vascular inflammation and its molecular mechanism is unknown. The present study showed that TNF-alpha significantly reduced the expression of SIRT6 protein and mRNA in a concentration- and time-dependent manner and increased the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin (IL) -6 and IL-1beta in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Overexpression of SIRT6 but not its catalytically inactive mutant inhibited TNF-alpha-induced expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and IL-1beta. Knockdown of SIRT6 significantly enhanced TNF-alpha-induced expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and IL-1beta. Moreover, knockdown of SIRT6 reduced TNF-alpha-induced nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) nucleus protein expression, whereas knockdown of NRF2 significantly enhanced TNF-alpha-induced expression of MCP-1, IL-6 and IL-1beta. In addition, overexpression of SIRT6 increased NRF2 and its target genes expression, and knockdown of SIRT6 decreased NRF2 and its target genes expression. Meanwhile, knockdown of SIRT6 inhibited NRF2 nucleus protein expression. Further, knockdown of SIRT6 decreased phosphorylation of NRF2, overexpression of SIRT6 increased phosphorylation of NRF2. SIRT6 interacted with NRF2. In vivo, the levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta were increased in the serum of hyperlipidemia mice. Hyperlipidemia-induced production of MCP-1, IL-6 and IL-1beta was significantly augmented in the endothelium specific SIRT6 knockout mice. In contrast, the expression of NRF2 and its target genes was reduced. Taken together, these results indicate that SIRT6 protects against vascular inflammation via its deacetylase activity and the NRF2-dependent signaling pathway. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
