Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the most extensively studied type of sirtuin. Scientists heavily implicate this protein in health span and lifespan extension. SIRT1, a member of the silent mating type information regulation 2 protein (sirtuin) family, has a shared gene in other species, including yeast. The shared gene in other animal species allows scientists to study modulating levels of SIRT1 on lifespan. A study of yeast some 20 years ago reveals genetically increasing SIRT1 levels increases lifespan 30% in this species. This protein depends on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to function. With sufficient NAD+, SIRT1 removes molecular markers from other proteins, including the proteins DNA wraps around (histones). As such, scientists classify it as a class III histone deacetylase.

SIRT1 function

SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, meaning SIRT1 removes molecular tags, acetyl groups, from proteins. Proteins from which SIRT1 removes these acetyl groups include histones, proteins which DNA wraps around, and non-histone proteins. With deacetylating activithy of SIRT1, its controls gene expression, metabolism, and aging.[1]

Research has not yet fully elucidated the function of sirtuins in humans.[2]

Sirt1 has been heavily implicated in control of metabolism and health of the cell’s powerhouse, mitochondria. SIRT1 also plays an important role in the reduction of defective mitochondria. This reduction in defective mitochondria occurs through a process termed mitophagy. Mitophagy entails the cell’s disposal of defective mitochondria

Research on SIRT1 in aging

Studies indicate high expression of SIRT1 in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, spleen, and fat tissue (white adipose tissue).[3][4][5] An initial study of Sir2 in yeast life span extension demonstrates integrating a second copy of the gene into normal, wild type, yeast increases lifespan 30%.2 In contrast, mice with mutant Sir2 genes have a reduced lifespan of 50%.[6][7]

SIRT1 and exercise

Regular exercise promotes health. Research suggests a significant role of SIRT1 in these effects from exercise.[8][9]It also suggests SIRT1-related adaptations from exercise occur in the liver, kidney, brain, heart, and skeletal muscle.[10]

A major effect of exercise entails protecting brain function. Improvements in brain function from exercise result in increased resistance to cellular stress,[11][12][13]increased production of neurons,<Zsolt Radak, Katsuhiko Suzuki, Aniko Posa, Zita Petrovszky, Erika Koltai, Istvan Boldogh. The systemic role of SIRT1 in exercise mediated adaptation. Redox Biol, 2020; DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020:101467.</ref>[14] and increased production of the cell’s powerhouse in neurons (mitochondria).[15][16]

Stimulation of SIRT1 function through exercise can result in these effects on protecting brain function.[17][18][19][20][21][22] Exercise does increase SIRT1 content in the brain. The molecular mechanism mediating exercise’s effects in protecting brain function may very well stem from it increasing SIRT1 levels.[23][24]

SIRT1 depends on sufficient levels of NAD+, which decline as people age. Exercise makes NAD+ molecules more readily available for SIRT1. NAD+ exists in higher concentrations in its non-reduced form, as opposed to having electrons as NADH. This helps SIRT1 function. Regular exercise rejuvenates aged skeletal muscle, also. This happens partly due to stimulating SIRT1 function. Research has uncovered much related to SIRT1 cellular function. Researchers still have much to learn on this topic.[25]

Resveratrol stimulates SIRT1

SIRT1 has gained interest due to its role in improving brain functions. Resveratrol, a plant compound found in grapes, berries, and peanuts, improves brain function through stimulating SIRT1.[26]

Resveratrol stimulates SIRT1 activity up to eight-fold.[27][28][29]The effectiveness of resveratrol activating SIRT1 remains debatable. Research on various animals, though, demonstrates resveratrol stimulates SIRT1 function to protect against declining brain function.[30][31]
