摘要
Sir2 has been shown to be essential for transcriptional silencing and longevity provided by calorie restriction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Caenorhabditis elegans. In this study, we investigated the role for its mammalian homologue, SIRT1, in hematopoietic cells. SIRT1 inhibitor, nicotinamide (NA), promoted and its activator, resveratrol, inhibited the differentiation of murine bone marrow c-KithighSca-1+Lineage鈭?/sup> (KSL) cells during the culture system ex vivo. To further clarify the roles of SIRT1 in hematopoietic cells, we isolated KSL cells from fetal liver of SIRT1 knockout (KO) mice and cultured them for 5 days, because SIRT1 KO mice die shortly after the delivery. In agreement with the results from the experiments using NA and resveratrol, KSL cells isolated from SIRT1 KO mice more apparently differentiated and lost the KSL phenotype than those from wild-type (WT) mice. Furthermore, in each of colony assay, replating assay, or serial transplantation assay, SIRT1 KO KSL cells lost earlier the characteristics of stem cells than WT KSL cells. In addition, we found that SIRT1 maintains prematurity of hematopoietic cells through ROS elimination, FOXO activation, and p53 inhibition. These results suggest that SIRT1 suppresses differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and contributes to the maintenance of stem cell pool.
