additional information | generation of SIRT6 knockout human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by targeted gene editing. For generation of SIRT6-deficient human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), the exon 1 of SIRT6 gene is removed in hESCs by a transcription activator-like effector nuclease. SIRT6-deficient hMSCs exhibit accelerated functional decay, a feature distinct from typical premature cellular senescence. Rather than compromised chromosomal stability, SIRT6-null hMSCs are predominately characterized by dysregulated redox metabolism and increased sensitivity to the oxidative stress. SIRT6 forms a protein complex with both nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and RNA polymerase II, which is required for the transactivation of NRF2-regulated antioxidant genes, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1).

malfunction | SIRT6 knockout human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) exhibit accelerated functional decay, a feature distinct from typical premature cellular senescence. Rather than compromised chromosomal stability, SIRT6-null hMSCs are predominately characterized by dysregulated redox metabolism and increased sensitivity to the oxidative stress. SIRT6 forms a protein complex with both nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and RNA polymerase II, which is required for the transactivation of NRF2-regulated antioxidant genes, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Overexpression of HO-1 in SIRT6 null hMSCs rescues premature cellular attrition. SIRT6-/- hMSCs are susceptible to oxidative stress. Reintroduction of wild-type SIRT6, but not of the H133Y mutant into SIRT6-/- hMSCs repress accelerated cellular senescence | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | SIRT6 safeguards human mesenchymal stem cells from oxidative stress by coactivating NRF2. Function of SIRT6 in maintaining hMSC homeostasis by serving as a NRF2 coactivator, which represents another layer of regulation of oxidative stress-associated stem cell decay. SIRT6 is required for NRF2-depedent HO-1 expression in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) | Homo sapiens |
