Abstract

The role of sirtuins (SIRTs) in cancer biology has been the focus of recent research. The similarities between underlying pathways involved in the induction of pluripotent stem cells and transformation of cancer cells revealed the role of SIRTs in cellular reprogramming. Seven SIRTs have been identified in mammals and downregulation of SIRT2 was found to facilitate the generation of primed pluripotent stem cells, such as human induced pluripotent stem cells. Herein, we evaluated the role of SIRT2 in naive pluripotent stem cell generation using murine cells. We found that absolute depletion of SIRT2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts resulted in a notable reduction in reprogramming efficiency. SIRT2 depletion not only upregulated elements of the INK4/ARF locus, which in turn had an antiproliferative effect, but also significantly altered the expression of proteins related to the PI3K/Akt and Hippo pathways, which are important signaling pathways for stemness. Thus, this study demonstrated that SIRT2 is required for cellular reprogramming to naive states of pluripotency in contrast to primed pluripotency states.
