SIRT1 Regulates Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Release by Enhancing PIP5Kγ[subscript gamma] Activity through Deacetylation of Specific Lysine Residues in Mammals

Background: SIRT1, a NAD-dependent deacetylase, has diverse roles in a variety of organs such as regulation of endocrine function and metabolism. However, it remains to be addressed how it regulates hormone release there. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report that SIRT1 is abundantly ex...

Description
Summary:Background: SIRT1, a NAD-dependent deacetylase, has diverse roles in a variety of organs such as regulation of endocrine function and metabolism. However, it remains to be addressed how it regulates hormone release there. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report that SIRT1 is abundantly expressed in pituitary thyrotropes and regulates thyroid hormone secretion. Manipulation of SIRT1 level revealed that SIRT1 positively regulated the exocytosis of TSH-containing granules. Using LC/MS-based interactomics, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K)γ[subscript gamma] was identified as a SIRT1 binding partner and deacetylation substrate. SIRT1 deacetylated two specific lysine residues (K265/K268) in PIP5Kγ[subscript gamma] and enhanced PIP5Kγ[subscript gamma] enzyme activity. SIRT1-mediated TSH secretion was abolished by PIP5Kγ[subscript gamma] knockdown. SIRT1 knockdown decreased the levels of deacetylated PIP5Kγ, PI(4,5)P[subscript 2], and reduced the secretion of TSH from pituitary cells. These results were also observed in SIRT1-knockout mice. Conclusions/Significance: Our findings indicated that the control of TSH release by the SIRT1-PIP5Kγ[subscript gamma] pathway is important for regulating the metabolism of the whole body.
