Sulfhydrated Sirtuin-1 Increasing Its Deacetylation Activity Is an Essential Epigenetics Mechanism of Anti-Atherogenesis by Hydrogen Sulfide.
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling 2019 January 11
Aims: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a protective role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by multiple pathways. Sirtuin-1 ( SIRT1 ) is a histone deacetylase, as an essential mediated longevity gene, and has an anti-atherogenic effect by regulating the acetylation of some functional proteins. Whether SIRT1 is involved in protecting H2S in atherosclerosis and its mechanism remains unclear. Results: In ApoE-knockout atherosclerosis mice, treatment with an H2S donor (NaHS or GYY4137) reduced atherosclerotic plaque area, macrophage infiltration, aortic inflammation, and plasma lipid level. H2S treatment increased aorta and liver SIRT1 mRNA expression. Overexpression or slicing cystathionine gamma lyase (CSE) also changed intracellular SIRT1 expression. CSE/H2S treatment increased SIRT1 deacetylation in endothelium and hepatocytes and macrophages, then induced deacetylation of its target proteins (P53, P65, and sterol response element binding protein), thereby reducing endothelial and macrophage inflammation and inhibiting macrophage cholesterol uptake and cholesterol de novo synthesis of liver. Also, CSE/H2S induced SIRT1 sulfhydration at its two zinc finger domains, increased its zinc ion binding activity to stabilize the alpha-helix structure, lowered its ubiquitination, and reduced its degradation. Innovation: H2S is a novel SIRT1 activator by direct sulfhydration. Because SIRT1 has a role in longevity, H2S may be a protector for aging-related diseases. Conclusion: Endogenous CSE/H2S directly sulfhydrated SIRT1 , enhanced SIRT1 binding to zinc ion, then promoted its deacetylation activity, and increased SIRT1 stability, thus reducing atherosclerotic plaque formation.
