Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are mammalian counterparts of the yeast silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) and are a family of NAD-dependent protein deacetylases and ADP ribosyltransferases. Sirtuins regulate numerous pathways in metabolism, aging and cancer . They are critical modulators in the cellular response to metabolic, oxidative, or genotoxic stress. Recent advances have demonstrated the pivotal role of sirtuin proteins in aging and a wide range of diseases including cancer in many organs. Skin is the essential barrier protecting organisms against environmental insults and minimizing water loss from the body. New evidence in mouse models and in vitro systems has illustrated that sirtuins have important roles in skin physiology, in the barrier function, aging, and diseases such as skin cancer. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how sirtuins regulate the skin stress response in skin cancer, aging, and barrier integrity at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, and in how modulating sirtuins may help prevent or treat skin cancer, skin barrier defects, and other skin diseases.
