SIRT1: A Potential Therapeutic Target in Autoimmune Diseases
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the class III family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylases, has been reported to participate in the progression of several diseases. SIRT1 also regulates inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, immune responses, cellular differentiation, proliferation and metabolism, and its altered functions are likely involved in Ads.Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase, has been reported to participate in regulating various biological processes, such as energetic homeostasis (5), inflammation, oxidative stress (6), mitochondrial biogenesis (7), cell apoptosis (8), and autophagy SIRT1 in the pathogenesis of Ads, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), etc.
To date, the etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases have remained invariably unknown, and complex and diverse elements associated with the environment, genetic risk factors, mental factors, and infection, which can cause an imbalance in autoimmune processes and immunological tolerance

| Diseases | Animal models | Tissue/Cell types | Approaches | Main mechanisms and effects | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLE | MRL/lpr mice | Kidney/ splenic CD4+ T cells | SIRT1-siRNA | SIRT1 expression was suppressed and global histone H3 and H4 acetylation levels were elevated transiently in CD4+ T cells.

CD4 IFNγ+ Th1 cells and the ratio of Th1/Th2 decreased. CD69 and CD71 expression on CD4+ T cells as well as CD4+ T cell proliferation was inhibited, CD4+ T cell apoptosis increased. | (18) | |
| SIRT1-null mice | Kidney | SIRT1 knockout | The immunoglobulin in the kidney was concentrated in the glomeruli. The frequency of anti-nuclear antibody was much higher. | (19) | |
| RA | — | RA-FLSs | Silence of SIRT1 | FLSs proliferation and leukocytic adhesion to FLSs reduced. | (20) |
| — | RA-FLSs | Overexpression of SIRT1 | FLSs proliferation, migration, and invasion was inhibited. RA-FLS apoptosis and caspase-3/8 activity increased. | (21) | |
| — | Peripheral blood monocytes/ RA-FLSs | Knockdown of SIRT1 | Apoptosis of FLSs increased. IL-6 and IL-8 in FLSs reduced. Lipopolysaccharide-induced levels of TNFα in monocytes reduced. | (22) | |
| — | RA-FLSs | Resveratrol | Phosphorylation and acetylation of p65, c-Jun, and Fos was inhibited, and expression of COX-2 reduced. | (23) | |
| CIA mice | T cells | Resveratrol | The incidence and severity of CIA reduced. The translocation of c-Jun into the nucleus upon T cell activation was inhibited | (24) | |
| CIA rats | Synovial tissue/ rat synovial cells | Resveratrol | Levels of cell apoptosis were enhanced. Cell proliferation was inhibited. MAPK signaling, ROS accumulation, HIF-1α-mediated angiogenesis was inhibited. | (25) | |
| K/BxN serum transfer arthritis | Ankle tissue/ BMMs | mSIRT1 KO | IL-1, TNF-α, TRAP-positive osteoclasts, and F4/80+ macrophages in the ankles increased. Hyperacetylated p65 and increased NF-κB binding activity in BMMs, with increased M1 polarization, migration, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and osteoclastogenesis. | (26) | |
| CIA mice | T cells and DCs | mSIRT1 KO | The mSIRT1 KO mice exhibited less severe arthritis, which was less destructive to the joints. ROR-γT, Th1 and Th17 cells, and CD80- or CD86-positive DCs reduced. The DCs showed decreases in T-cell proliferation and the Th1/Th17 immune response. | (27) | |
| IBD | DSS-induced colitis | Colons | Resveratrol | TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-γ and IL-17 increased. The expression of TIMP-3 increased and TACE was inhibited. | (28) |
| DSS-induced colitis | Colons/ macrophages and Caco-2 cells | SRT1720 | Disease activity index, histological score, inflammatory cytokine levels, and apoptotic cell rate in colon tissues decreased. Levels of occludin and ZO-1 increased. The expression of GRP78, CHOP, cleaved caspase-12, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3 in Caco-2 cells and the colon tissues reduced. | (29) | |
| Radiation-induced inflammatory bowel disease | Intestine tissues | Resveratrol | The level of bowel inflammation reduced. The activity of NLRP-3 inflammasome was inhibited. | (30) | |
| C57BL/6 IL-10 deficient mice | Colon tissues | None | The levels of TNF-α increased and expression of SIRT1 decreased. The activation of the autophagy in mice from all stages. | (31) | |
| Chemically-induced colitis (TNBS or oxazolone) | Inflamed IBD mucosa | Cay10591 | The activation of NF-κB and inflammatory cytokine synthesis was inhibited. | (32) | |

| EAE mice | Mononuclear cells from spleen and brain, and peritoneal macrophages | Resveratrol | EAE symptoms were significantly alleviated. Resveratrol protection against EAE is not associated with declines in IL-17+ T cells but is associated with rises in IL-17+/IL-10+ T cells and CD4-IFN-γ+ and with repressed macrophage IL-6 and IL-12/23 p40 expression. | (34) | |
