Emerging role of sirtuins on tumorigenesis: possible link between aging and cancer

Aging is the strongest risk factor for cancer development,suggesting that molecular crosstalks between aging andtumorigenesis exist in many cellular pathways. Recently,Sirtuins (Sirt1-7), the mammalian homologues of aging-relatedsir2α in yeast, have been shown to modulate several majorcellular pathw...

description Aging is the strongest risk factor for cancer development,suggesting that molecular crosstalks between aging andtumorigenesis exist in many cellular pathways. Recently,Sirtuins (Sirt1-7), the mammalian homologues of aging-relatedsir2α in yeast, have been shown to modulate several majorcellular pathways, such as DNA repair, inflammation,metabolism, cell death, and proliferation in response todiverse stresses, and may serve as a possible molecular linkbetween aging and tumorignenesis. In addition, growingevidence suggests that sirtuins are directly implicated in thedevelopment of cancer, and they can act as either a tumorsuppressor or promoter, depending on the cellular context andtumor types. While the functions of Sirt1 in tumorigenesishave been reported and reviewed in many studies, theconnection between sirtuins 2-7 and the development ofcancer is less established. Thus, this review will present therecent updates on the emerging roles of Sirt2-7 members incarcinogenesis. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(9): 429-438]
