Abstract

Sirtuins are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dependent class III histone deacetylase proteins that play a crucial role in several cellular processes, including DNA repair, apoptosis, and lifespan. Previous studies have shown that sirtuin inhibition leads to embryonic developmental arrest and oxidative stress in porcine and murine. However, sirtuin-mediated mechanisms have not been examined in porcine preimplantation blastocysts. We therefore investigated the relationship between sirtuins and autophagy. Embryos were cultured with 100 μM sirtinol (SIRT1/2 inhibitor) in NCSU-23 media after in vitro fertilization. Treatment with sirtinol significantly reduced the rates of morula (21.34 ± 1.84 vs. 11.89 ± 2.01), blastocyst development (17.18 ± 1.81 vs. 9.00 ± 2.02), and total cell number (50.80 ± 1.47 vs. 37.71 ± 1.79), compared to controls, with an associating decrease the levels of Sirt2 transcript. Sirtinol treatment induced autophagy through an increase in LC3 transcript and LC3 protein. BECLIN1 and ATG5 expression showed a slight increase in treated group. Finally, treatment with sirtinol dramatically increased TUNEL indices (6.55 ± 0.84 vs. 11.44 ± 0.81) and fragmentation indices (0.33 ± 0.05 vs. 1.40 ± 0.30). BCL2L1 express...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
